Please add a zoom feature

Recommended Posts

EVERY customer we have wants zoom. They see Flash charts on the internet that have a magnifying glass that they can drag over the chart and zoom in.

 

 

 

With the current version of Fusion Charts, I see no practical way to simulate a zoom either. We have tried narrowing the x-range of data points to allow the y-axis to recalculate new ranges for the data being displayed. This approach works a little, but it's not good enough. Even when you calculate the y value in the range of data points and set the yMin to that value, the chart often makes its own decision about the lowest point value in the y-axis and the y increment. Even with the adaptive yMin thing enabled, even with the yMin set to a value greater than the greatest y value, we can't get the chart to narrow the y-range enough to simulate a useful zoom.

 

 

 

Every customer complains that can find dozens of charts on the internet that have zoom that's better than our solutions using FusionCharts.

 

 

 

Please add zooming.

Yeah, I miss zooming as well. A quick work around is to use the "scrollarea2D.swf" for example, and use the numVisiblePlot to 1 for example, but it needs to be refreshed...

 

A zoom feature would be awesome, hopefully it will be a quick-to-implement solution from Fusion charts

Is there a target date for Fusion Charts v4?

 

 

 

My customer is interested in going with FC for Flex, but only if there is a zoom capability.

 

 

 

Thanks,

Any idea when we can expect this, a Beta maybe? I am looking for a good charting tool with zoom and scroll. I need to a make a decesion soon. I like fusion charts but i cant do without zoom and scroll.

For my customer a zoom feature is a decisive issue. If FC/Powercharts will have this feature, i will use it. If not I will have to look for another solution.

Dear User,

 

We are delighted to announce that PowerCharts is now ready for your iPads and iPhones too. We have just released PowerCharts v3.2. Starting v3.2, PowerCharts has HighCharts embedded within it, and offers both Flash and JavaScript (HTML5) charting . The Flash charts are displayed on a majority of devices and the JavaScript charts on devices that do not support Flash, all of it without writing a line of code.

 

Automatic rendering of JavaScript charts on devices (like iPad and iPhone) where Flash player is not supported.

 

5 new chart types:

 

Heat Map Chart

 

Box and Whisker Chart

 

Step Line Chart

 

Error Line Chart

 

Error Scatter Chart

 

 

* Support for JSON data format.

 

* Support for LinkedCharts, where a single data source controls multiple charts.

 

* Interactive legends in charts allow selective showing/hiding of data series.

 

* Legends now support icons for each data series.

 

* Better management of labels on charts.

 

* Labels now have an auto rendering mode to prevent them from overlapping, the chart selects the best display mode depending on the length of the labels and the width of the chart.

 

* Long labels are truncated, with ellipses appended to the truncated end of each label, and a tooltip bearing the completed label text is displayed when the user hovers over a truncated label.

 

* Support for line breaks and wrapping in all text elements including: caption, sub caption, X-axis title, Y-axis title, Labels and tooltips.

 

* In Line charts, data values can now be positioned either above or below the dataplots. Automatic positioning of data values is also supported.

 

* In Step-line charts dataplots can be joined using vertical lines.

 

* Custom alignment of caption and sub caption using STYLES.

 

* Advanced print management using JavaScript.

 

* Additional options for efficient event handling using JavaScript.
