iPad / iPhone and v4

[ressystems]

We are building a "dashboard" type application, and have two questions:

 

 

 

1. When is the approximate release for Fusion Charts v4? We're looking forward to improvements in the gantt chart functionality.

 

 

 

2. Many of our users are using iPad's or iPhone's that don't have flash. What can we do with these users? Is there a way to convert the charts to images on the server side somehow, if flash isn't supported?

 

 

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

 

 

We're currently working on FusionCharts v3.2, which has HTML5 fallback capabilities (for rendering on iPad/iPhone). This will be released in a few days. You may see a basic HTML5 fallback example at http://www.fusioncharts.com/labs/peek/html5basic/

 

 

 

As for Gantt chart, can you please send us your list of requirements at support [at] fusioncharts.com

Can you clarify the timeline for FusionCharts 3.2 ?? We have a demo we need to deliver by next Thursday, and were planning to move our charting over to HighChart ... though I don't want to do that. I'd be willing to do some beta testing for you on the HTML 5 side of things.

 

 

 

Regarding the Gantt chart, I sent an email back in Feb, which you responded to. Basically these items for the gantt chart:

 

 

 

- Drag and drop tasks from one row to another.

 

- Drag tasks from one time period to another.

 

- Dynamically create a new task (drag and release).

 

- Click on the start or end of the task to change the duration of the task.

 

- Allow users to click or double click on tasks to create a pop-up window, to edit some properties.

 

- Overlay of another chart type (eg, a bar or line chart) along a gantt chart.

 

 

 

Any thoughts on these items?

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

* 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.
