knalli Report post Posted August 11, 2010 Ok, first of all: This is a very nice demo, thx for the beta. I've got some questions about the (planned) details. 1) What is the actual difference between http://www.fusioncharts.com/labs/peek/html5basic/'>http://www.fusioncharts.com/labs/peek/html5basic/ and http://www.fusioncharts.com/labs/peek/html5 in detail? After a diff there is no other javascript or html markup (except the paragraph)? How do you handle this? I don't get it. :| 2) Unless I missed some big thing: It seems your current beta, so called "html5", based on the javascript framework HighCharts which looks.. wow. Do you plan to configure HighCharts to look like FusionCharts (hci.js) or is there something like a swf-to-svg thing in background? 3) What kind of relationship with HighCharts do you have? I mean: Is that "you" but just another company? Must I pay an additional HighCharts license (if I need a FusionCharts one)? Or is that all "built-in"? 4) Because I could not getting the "thing to work" locally (I'd grabbed the sources of the demo to a local server): Will other SWFs work? What is about your other products PowerCharts and Widgets - e.g. the "non-charts" Gauge-Graphs? == About FusionCharts 3.2 itself: I've noticed the tiny change of the columns bars' legend icon (good). And, the hide/show onclick selector on the legend's items. Is this feature only in the columns flash? I've tested multi axis - the legend is like the 3.1 ones.

SavvyData Report post Posted August 11, 2010 Thanks for the great work here again, as usual. Thanks -- this looks very promising! However the fallback to JavaScript is failing when I run your first exercise (Weekly Sales). With browser debugging turned on, I get Error: snk is undefined [refers to line 66 of FusionCharts.js]. Easy fix I presume? Thanks, -Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pallav Report post Posted August 12, 2010 Hi, As for the errors, we're investigating the same and fixing it. We'll update on this forum once done. To answer your questions: 1) What is the actual difference between http://www.fusioncharts.com/labs/peek/html5basic/'>http://www.fusioncharts.com/labs/peek/html5basic/ and http://www.fusioncharts.com/labs/peek/html5 in detail? Html5Basic shows Flash chart by default (on devices having Flash Player) and falls back to HTML5 (if no Flash is present). Html5 shows just the HTML5 sample. 2) Do you plan to configure HighCharts to look like FusionCharts (hci.js) or is there something like a swf-to-svg thing in background? We've already written the bridge that emulates HighCharts looks as close to FusionCharts (as possible within HighCharts framework) by running on FusionCharts XML/JSON data itself. 3) What kind of relationship with HighCharts do you have? I mean: Is that "you" but just another company? Must I pay an additional HighCharts license (if I need a FusionCharts one)? Or is that all "built-in"? No - we've an exclusive OEM license for HighCharts for distribution in FusionCharts. As such, you do NOT need to pay any additional cost at all! Your existing license covers the same. 4) Because I could not getting the "thing to work" locally (I'd grabbed the sources of the demo to a local server). Can you please detail what problem you faced? 5) Will other SWFs work? What is about your other products PowerCharts and Widgets - e.g. the "non-charts" Gauge-Graphs? We'll gradually add JavaScript(HTML5) fallback to PowerCharts and widgets. The gauges will take some time. >> About FusionCharts 3.2 itself: I've noticed the tiny change of the columns bars' legend icon (good). And, the hide/show onclick selector on the legend's items. Is this feature only in the columns flash? It's present in all FusionCharts v3.2 charts. >> I've tested multi axis - the legend is like the 3.1 ones. That chart has axis enable/disable - so wouldn't sport the new legend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavvyData Report post Posted August 12, 2010 Hi Basundhara, I saw your (and Pallav's) messages -- the "snk is undefined" error is still occurring. I downloaded a fresh set of FC32beta, and followed the tutorial from scratch. Trying to force a JavaScript fallback fails. This is on Mac OS 10.6.4 for both Safari and Firefox AND on Windows 7 (emulation under Parallels). Is this NOT happening for you? Please tell me if should try a different config -- or are you able to replicate this issue? Thanks, -Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pallav Report post Posted August 13, 2010 Hi Lee, We've just updated our beta to fix those. Can you please re-download from the link given to you? Please make sure to clear your browser cache. Even if you are viewing our live examples - please clear the same. We would love to hear if the issues were resolved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Html5Basic shows Flash chart by default (on devices having Flash Player) and falls back to HTML5 (if no Flash is present). Html5 shows just the HTML5 sample. Well.. but what is the technical difference? I don't find a hint if I use "diff" on both html markups. I'm familiar with browser agent or bridges or conditional behaviors - but where is this done?

I'd tried to reproduce the html5 version on my local machine (in order to generate a customized chart), but I failed. As I said, perhaps I'd missed something. I would retry the steps with the updated version tomorrow. Edited August 20, 2010 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blincokf Report post Posted August 16, 2010 First of all, I like what I saw with V3.2. I mainly focused on testing your html5 fallback with my existing software. Some of the problems I had so far: 1. Scollable charts (e.g ScrollCombi2D.swf) are not working. 2. If any attributes is duplicated, display would fail. (e.g. just try to duplicate numDivLines='3' in your demo and you will see 'No data to display' Ken (Blinco Systems Inc.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masterapiz Report post Posted August 24, 2010 Hi, Continue to my post of ver3.2 Beta at http://www.fusioncharts.com/forum/Topic30067-6-2.aspx#bm30850 I have successfully able to print the chart in Firefox but I believe I found a bug on the waiting time for chart to be ready for print. My page is having 8 - 10 chart in a page. By scrolling down my page I will see each chart starts to load. The problem is, if I don't scroll down my page , even I wait 1 minute, my chart will not get ready for printing. I'm using example based on http://www.fusioncharts.com/labs/peek/managed-print/ Please advice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Basundhara Ghosal Report post Posted August 24, 2010 Hi, This is an issue with the Flash Player and the Browser. As a work-around, please try using the JavaScript function to scroll down to the end of the page and then coming back to the top of the page, as soon as the charts get rendered on the browser page. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gludington Report post Posted August 27, 2010 Is there a known issue with the context menu in the current 3.2 beta? Right-clicking on a flash chart does nothing in chrome, but locks up firefox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gludington Report post Posted August 30, 2010 Pallav (8/30/2010)@gludington: What OS and browser version did you face it on? It seems to be a problem with 3.2 on Linux. On Chrome/Safari on OSX or IE on Windows, it works. However, on multiple machines running Linux, I see the following: On Linux Firefox 3.6.8 - Browser locks up Chrome on 6.0.495.0 dev - Browser does not lock up, but no context menu appears Since one of our primary use cases of fusioncharts would be for realtime dashboards of servers, and many of the responsible employees use Linux, this would be a problem. I am using javascript, simplified as follows: var chart = new FusionCharts('Charts/MSLine.swf', 'fchart', '1000', '300', '0', '1'); ... charts.setDataXML(xml); charts.render('fusionchart'); The same javascript, and the same chartXML, works fine with FusionCharts 3.1, but not with FusionCharts 3.2 beta. I also see the same problem in the FusionCharts examples page, with Chrome and Firefox exhibiting the same problems when I hit http://www.fusioncharts.com/labs/peek/zoom/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blincokf Report post Posted August 30, 2010 With v3.2 I some time got the following error and have hard time figure out why: 'FusionCharts.render.IECompatibility() Chart Id is same as a JavaScript variable name in window scope. This causes errors with Internet Explorer.' It happens in both IE and Firefox. It didn't exist in v3.1. Can you point where I should look? Thanks Ken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shamasis Report post Posted August 31, 2010 This is a design time error. It is raised by FusionCharts to fix issues in IE. The error is raised when: 1. You have any global JS variable with the same name as the chart's id 2. If you have the same name for the charts JSObject variable and chart's ID. Example: var myChart = new FusionCharts('Charts/Column3D.swf', 'myChart'); // will raise error. Note that the JS variable myChart name is same as chart id 'myChart' ... this is not correct as this causes errors in IE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We would request you to please try the latest and let us know. Thanks again for your time. Assuming the update was at http://goto.fusioncharts.com/beta32 (and diff suggests the files I just downloaded are different than the ones I downloaded earlier from that beta link), then no, the same problems still exist when hitting FusionCharts from a Linux-based browser.

lsemaan Report post Posted September 7, 2010 hello, just downloaded the beta V3.2, great work, many thanks. I am mainly testing the chart rendering on iPAD and noticed so far the following: 1 - baseFont, and Styles are not working. Unable to control the font size on the displayed text on the chart. 2 - Stack charts and other complex charts not working. Can you kindly advise the chart types that are supported? 3 - when loading, the chart displays message "Data Parsing Error" then opens correctly. 4 - could we hide the button that is displayed on the chart allowing its export? or maybe control its size? kind regards, Lucien Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayan Pal Report post Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) Hi Isemaan, Thanks for testing beta. 1 - baseFont, and Styles are not working. Unable to control the font size on the displayed text on the chart.2 - Stack charts and other complex charts not working. Can you kindly advise the chart types that are supported? 3 - when loading, the chart displays message "Data Parsing Error" then opens correctly. 4 - could we hide the button that is displayed on the chart allowing its export? or maybe control its size? 1- styles are not supported till now. 2- all charts except Single Series Grid Component , Multi-series Stacked Column 2D + Line Dual Y Axis & Multi-series Stacked Column 2D are supported. for all features please mail us to get the latest FusionCHarts.js and highcharts.js 3- could you please send us a working sample for that 4- you can add exportShowMenuItem='0' attribute in your xml's charts tag to hide this button. or refer to the bellow code to resize the button var chartObj1 = new FusionCharts('Charts/Column2D.swf', 'chart-1', '100%', '400', '0', '1'); chartObj1.setXMLData(''); //set js chart configuration for export button chartObj1._overrideJSChartConfiguration({ exporting:{ buttons:{ exportButton:{ width: 10, height: 10, symbolSize:7, symbolX : 5, symbolY : 5 } } } }); chartObj1.render('chartspan'); Edited September 8, 2010 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gludington Report post Posted September 9, 2010 gludington (8/30/2010) Pallav (8/30/2010)@gludington: What OS and browser version did you face it on? Further tracking on the context menu locking flash in Linux: FusionCharts 3.1 + Flashplayer 10.1 (current), Linux: works fine FusionCharts 3.2 + Flashplayer 9.x (old), Linux: works fine FusionCharts 3.2 + Flashplayer 10.1 (current), Linux: no context menu, browser locks up So the problem seems to be with FusionCharts 3.2, but only with the most recent flash player, which, unfortunately, most of our users will have.

lsemaan Report post Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Hi, can anyone please check on the below (applies for the non-flash version): 1 - SYAxisMaxValue, PYAxisMaxValue, and baseFont are not working for me. can these be used with highcharts? 2 - how can the credit label shown on the lower right corner of the chart be removed? 3 - the data drill down to a frame is not working. has this not been migrated ? 4 - the StackedColumn3DLineDY can handle only few categories when compared with the flash version. If we try to send more than 10 categories the chart will render the message Error Loading Data! and sometime renders empty chart. 5 - highlight selective data is not working. many thanks Lucien Edited September 10, 2010 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
