Suggestions on building Timeline chart

[mixersoft]

I need to build a Timeline chart with features similar to the one used in Google Finance. It should have a way to control both 1) the Zoom, i.e. size of the time interval, and 2) the Timeframe, i.e. boundary of the x-axis of the chart dynamically.

 

 

 

Google Finance achieves this through a double-sided slider/Horizontal scrollbar which I find very easy to use:

I see the examples on Scroll Charts, but nothing that suggests I can interactively control the Zoom. Can anypne suggest a good approach to build this using FusionCharts?

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

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

 

* Legends now support icons for each data series.

* 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.
