keegan Report post Posted January 23, 2008 I have a line chart that gathers historical data based off machine loads. In my database, there is one entry for every minute for every machine. Currently, I can chart from the start of one machine (about 300 records back) to current with a line chart, and it squiggles up and down nicely. My question is, at what point, if any, will a line chart break due to too many data points? If, in a week, someone clicks on my website and generates a chart with thousands of minutes to plot in a 600x300 area line graph, what will happen? Obviously it won't fit them all there, which is fine, but do you use some modulus to determine how many points to graph? Or will it attempt to graph them all, and explode?

FusionCharts Support Report post Posted January 24, 2008 hi, Line chart is a very light weight chart and we hope that it wont crash until the load the XML crashes the browser or the wrapper application. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pallav Report post Posted January 24, 2008 Since FusionCharts is based on Flash and uses XML at client side to generate charts, ideally we do not recommend over 1500-1800 data points per chart - as the rendering of the chart is dependent on the processing power of client's CPU.

ryanjmclaughlin Report post Posted January 30, 2008 I have about 6000 points loading in a Scatter with animation disabled. It runs fairly good on faster machines, but flash takes awhile to load, or errors (the script is taking too long) on slower pc's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
