| Flot 0.6 | |
| -------- | |
| API changes: | |
| 1. Selection support has been moved to a plugin. Thus if you're | |
| passing selection: { mode: something }, you MUST include the file | |
| jquery.flot.selection.js after jquery.flot.js. This reduces the size | |
| of base Flot and makes it easier to customize the selection as well as | |
| improving code clarity. The change is based on patch from andershol. | |
| 2. In the global options specified in the $.plot command, | |
| "lines", "points", "bars" and "shadowSize" have been moved to a | |
| sub-object called "series", i.e. | |
| $.plot(placeholder, data, { lines: { show: true }}) | |
| should be changed to | |
| $.plot(placeholder, data, { series: { lines: { show: true }}}) | |
| All future series-specific options will go into this sub-object to | |
| simplify plugin writing. Backward-compatibility code is in place, so | |
| old code should not break. | |
| 3. "plothover" no longer provides the original data point, but instead | |
| a normalized one, since there may be no corresponding original point. | |
| 4. Due to a bug in previous versions of jQuery, you now need at least | |
| jQuery 1.2.6. But if you can, try jQuery 1.3.2 as it got some | |
| improvements in event handling speed. | |
| Changes: | |
| - Added support for disabling interactivity for specific data series | |
| (request from Ronald Schouten and Steve Upton). | |
| - Flot now calls $() on the placeholder and optional legend container | |
| passed in so you can specify DOM elements or CSS expressions to make | |
| it easier to use Flot with libraries like Prototype or Mootools or | |
| through raw JSON from Ajax responses. | |
| - A new "plotselecting" event is now emitted while the user is making | |
| a selection. | |
| - The "plothover" event is now emitted immediately instead of at most | |
| 10 times per second, you'll have to put in a setTimeout yourself if | |
| you're doing something really expensive on this event. | |
| - The built-in date formatter can now be accessed as | |
| $.plot.formatDate(...) (suggestion by Matt Manela) and even | |
| replaced. | |
| - Added "borderColor" option to the grid (patch from Amaury Chamayou | |
| and patch from Mike R. Williamson). | |
| - Added support for gradient backgrounds for the grid, take a look at | |
| the "setting options" example (based on patch from Amaury Chamayou, | |
| issue 90). | |
| - Gradient bars (suggestion by stefpet). | |
| - Added a "plotunselected" event which is triggered when the selection | |
| is removed, see "selection" example (suggestion by Meda Ugo); | |
| - The option legend.margin can now specify horizontal and vertical | |
| margins independently (suggestion by someone who's annoyed). | |
| - Data passed into Flot is now copied to a new canonical format to | |
| enable further processing before it hits the drawing routines. As a | |
| side-effect, this should make Flot more robust in the face of bad | |
| data (and fixes issue 112). | |
| - Step-wise charting: line charts have a new option "steps" that when | |
| set to true connects the points with horizontal/vertical steps | |
| instead of diagonal lines. | |
| - The legend labelFormatter now passes the series in addition to just | |
| the label (suggestion by Vincent Lemeltier). | |
| - Horizontal bars (based on patch by Jason LeBrun). | |
| - Support for partial bars by specifying a third coordinate, i.e. they | |
| don't have to start from the axis. This can be used to make stacked | |
| bars. | |
| - New option to disable the (grid.show). | |
| - Added pointOffset method for converting a point in data space to an | |
| offset within the placeholder. | |
| - Plugin system: register an init method in the $.flot.plugins array | |
| to get started, see PLUGINS.txt for details on how to write plugins | |
| (it's easy). There are also some extra methods to enable access to | |
| internal state. | |
| - Hooks: you can register functions that are called while Flot is | |
| crunching the data and doing the plot. This can be used to modify | |
| Flot without changing the source, useful for writing plugins. Some | |
| hooks are defined, more are likely to come. | |
| - Threshold plugin: you can set a threshold and a color, and the data | |
| points below that threshold will then get the color. Useful for | |
| marking data below 0, for instance. | |
| - Stack plugin: you can specify a stack key for each series to have | |
| them summed. This is useful for drawing additive/cumulative graphs | |
| with bars and (currently unfilled) lines. | |
| - Crosshairs plugin: trace the mouse position on the axes, enable with | |
| crosshair: { mode: "x"} (see the new tracking example for a use). | |
| - Image plugin: plot prerendered images. | |
| - Navigation plugin for panning and zooming a plot. | |
| - More configurable grid. | |
| - Axis transformation support, useful for non-linear plots, e.g. log | |
| axes and compressed time axes (like omitting weekends). | |
| - Support for twelve-hour date formatting (patch by Forrest Aldridge). | |
| - The color parsing code in Flot has been cleaned up and split out so | |
| it's now available as a separate jQuery plugin. It's included inline | |
| in the Flot source to make dependency managing easier. This also | |
| makes it really easy to use the color helpers in Flot plugins. | |
| Bug fixes: | |
| - Fixed two corner-case bugs when drawing filled curves (report and | |
| analysis by Joshua Varner). | |
| - Fix auto-adjustment code when setting min to 0 for an axis where the | |
| dataset is completely flat on that axis (report by chovy). | |
| - Fixed a bug with passing in data from getData to setData when the | |
| secondary axes are used (issue 65, reported by nperelman). | |
| - Fixed so that it is possible to turn lines off when no other chart | |
| type is shown (based on problem reported by Glenn Vanderburg), and | |
| fixed so that setting lineWidth to 0 also hides the shadow (based on | |
| problem reported by Sergio Nunes). | |
| - Updated mousemove position expression to the latest from jQuery (bug | |
| reported by meyuchas). | |
| - Use CSS borders instead of background in legend (fix printing issue 25 | |
| and 45). | |
| - Explicitly convert axis min/max to numbers. | |
| - Fixed a bug with drawing marking lines with different colors | |
| (reported by Khurram). | |
| - Fixed a bug with returning y2 values in the selection event (fix | |
| by exists, issue 75). | |
| - Only set position relative on placeholder if it hasn't already a | |
| position different from static (reported by kyberneticist, issue 95). | |
| - Don't round markings to prevent sub-pixel problems (reported by Dan | |
| Lipsitt). | |
| - Make the grid border act similarly to a regular CSS border, i.e. | |
| prevent it from overlapping the plot itself. This also fixes a | |
| problem with anti-aliasing when the width is 1 pixel (reported by | |
| Anthony Ettinger). | |
| - Imported version 3 of excanvas and fixed two issues with the newer | |
| version. Hopefully, this will make Flot work with IE8 (nudge by | |
| Fabien Menager, further analysis by Booink, issue 133). | |
| - Changed the shadow code for lines to hopefully look a bit better | |
| with vertical lines. | |
| - Round tick positions to avoid possible problems with fractions | |
| (suggestion by Fred, issue 130). | |
| - Made the heuristic for determining how many ticks to aim for a bit | |
| smarter. | |
| - Fix for uneven axis margins (report and patch by Paul Kienzle) and | |
| snapping to ticks (concurrent report and patch by lifthrasiir). | |
| - Fixed bug with slicing in findNearbyItems (patch by zollman). | |
| - Make heuristic for x axis label widths more dynamic (patch by | |
| rickinhethuis). | |
| - Make sure points on top take precedence when finding nearby points | |
| when hovering (reported by didroe, issue 224). | |
| Flot 0.5 | |
| -------- | |
| Backwards API change summary: Timestamps are now in UTC. Also | |
| "selected" event -> becomes "plotselected" with new data, the | |
| parameters for setSelection are now different (but backwards | |
| compatibility hooks are in place), coloredAreas becomes markings with | |
| a new interface (but backwards compatibility hooks are in place). | |
| Interactivity: added a new "plothover" event and this and the | |
| "plotclick" event now returns the closest data item (based on patch by | |
| /david, patch by Mark Byers for bar support). See the revamped | |
| "interacting with the data" example for some hints on what you can do. | |
| Highlighting: you can now highlight points and datapoints are | |
| autohighlighted when you hover over them (if hovering is turned on). | |
| Support for dual axis has been added (based on patch by someone who's | |
| annoyed and /david). For each data series you can specify which axes | |
| it belongs to, and there are two more axes, x2axis and y2axis, to | |
| customize. This affects the "selected" event which has been renamed to | |
| "plotselected" and spews out { xaxis: { from: -10, to: 20 } ... }, | |
| setSelection in which the parameters are on a new form (backwards | |
| compatible hooks are in place so old code shouldn't break) and | |
| markings (formerly coloredAreas). | |
| Timestamps in time mode are now displayed according to | |
| UTC instead of the time zone of the visitor. This affects the way the | |
| timestamps should be input; you'll probably have to offset the | |
| timestamps according to your local time zone. It also affects any | |
| custom date handling code (which basically now should use the | |
| equivalent UTC date mehods, e.g. .setUTCMonth() instead of | |
| .setMonth(). | |
| Added support for specifying the size of tick labels (axis.labelWidth, | |
| axis.labelHeight). Useful for specifying a max label size to keep | |
| multiple plots aligned. | |
| Markings, previously coloredAreas, are now specified as ranges on the | |
| axes, like { xaxis: { from: 0, to: 10 }}. Furthermore with markings | |
| you can now draw horizontal/vertical lines by setting from and to to | |
| the same coordinate (idea from line support patch by by Ryan Funduk). | |
| The "fill" option can now be a number that specifies the opacity of | |
| the fill. | |
| You can now specify a coordinate as null (like [2, null]) and Flot | |
| will take the other coordinate into account when scaling the axes | |
| (based on patch by joebno). | |
| New option for bars "align". Set it to "center" to center the bars on | |
| the value they represent. | |
| setSelection now takes a second parameter which you can use to prevent | |
| the method from firing the "plotselected" handler. | |
| Using the "container" option in legend now overwrites the container | |
| element instead of just appending to it (fixes infinite legend bug, | |
| reported by several people, fix by Brad Dewey). | |
| Fixed a bug in calculating spacing around the plot (reported by | |
| timothytoe). Fixed a bug in finding max values for all-negative data | |
| sets. Prevent the possibility of eternal looping in tick calculations. | |
| Fixed a bug when borderWidth is set to 0 (reported by | |
| Rob/sanchothefat). Fixed a bug with drawing bars extending below 0 | |
| (reported by James Hewitt, patch by Ryan Funduk). Fixed a | |
| bug with line widths of bars (reported by MikeM). Fixed a bug with | |
| 'nw' and 'sw' legend positions. Improved the handling of axis | |
| auto-scaling with bars. Fixed a bug with multi-line x-axis tick | |
| labels (reported by Luca Ciano). IE-fix help by Savage Zhang. | |
| Flot 0.4 | |
| -------- | |
| API changes: deprecated axis.noTicks in favor of just specifying the | |
| number as axis.ticks. So "xaxis: { noTicks: 10 }" becomes | |
| "xaxis: { ticks: 10 }" | |
| Time series support. Specify axis.mode: "time", put in Javascript | |
| timestamps as data, and Flot will automatically spit out sensible | |
| ticks. Take a look at the two new examples. The format can be | |
| customized with axis.timeformat and axis.monthNames, or if that fails | |
| with axis.tickFormatter. | |
| Support for colored background areas via grid.coloredAreas. Specify an | |
| array of { x1, y1, x2, y2 } objects or a function that returns these | |
| given { xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax }. | |
| More members on the plot object (report by Chris Davies and others). | |
| "getData" for inspecting the assigned settings on data series (e.g. | |
| color) and "setData", "setupGrid" and "draw" for updating the contents | |
| without a total replot. | |
| The default number of ticks to aim for is now dependent on the size of | |
| the plot in pixels. Support for customizing tick interval sizes | |
| directly with axis.minTickSize and axis.tickSize. | |
| Cleaned up the automatic axis scaling algorithm and fixed how it | |
| interacts with ticks. Also fixed a couple of tick-related corner case | |
| bugs (one reported by mainstreetmark, another reported by timothytoe). | |
| The option axis.tickFormatter now takes a function with two | |
| parameters, the second parameter is an optional object with | |
| information about the axis. It has min, max, tickDecimals, tickSize. | |
| Added support for segmented lines (based on patch from Michael | |
| MacDonald) and for ignoring null and bad values (suggestion from Nick | |
| Konidaris and joshwaihi). | |
| Added support for changing the border width (joebno and safoo). | |
| Label colors can be changed via CSS by selecting the tickLabel class. | |
| Fixed a bug in handling single-item bar series (reported by Emil | |
| Filipov). Fixed erratic behaviour when interacting with the plot | |
| with IE 7 (reported by Lau Bech Lauritzen). Prevent IE/Safari text | |
| selection when selecting stuff on the canvas. | |
| Flot 0.3 | |
| -------- | |
| This is mostly a quick-fix release because jquery.js wasn't included | |
| in the previous zip/tarball. | |
| Support clicking on the plot. Turn it on with grid: { clickable: true }, | |
| then you get a "plotclick" event on the graph placeholder with the | |
| position in units of the plot. | |
| Fixed a bug in dealing with data where min = max, thanks to Michael | |
| Messinides. | |
| Include jquery.js in the zip/tarball. | |
| Flot 0.2 | |
| -------- | |
| Added support for putting a background behind the default legend. The | |
| default is the partly transparent background color. Added | |
| backgroundColor and backgroundOpacity to the legend options to control | |
| this. | |
| The ticks options can now be a callback function that takes one | |
| parameter, an object with the attributes min and max. The function | |
| should return a ticks array. | |
| Added labelFormatter option in legend, useful for turning the legend | |
| labels into links. | |
| Fixed a couple of bugs. | |
| The API should now be fully documented. | |
| Patch from Guy Fraser to make parts of the code smaller. | |
| API changes: Moved labelMargin option to grid from x/yaxis. | |
| Flot 0.1 | |
| -------- | |
| First public release. | |
