Code using dual axes should be changed from -using x2axis/y2axis in the options to using an array (although -backwards-compatibility hooks are in place). For instance, - - { - xaxis: { ... }, x2axis: { ... }, - yaxis: { ... }, y2axis: { ... } - } - -becomes - - { - xaxes: [ { ... }, { ... } ], - yaxes: [ { ... }, { ... } ] - } - -Note that if you're just using one axis, continue to use the -xaxis/yaxis directly (it now sets the default settings for the -arrays). Plugins touching the axes must be ported to take the extra -axes into account, check the source to see some examples. - -A related change is that the visibility of axes is now auto-detected. -So if you were relying on an axis to show up even without any data in -the chart, you now need to set the axis "show" option explicitly. - -"tickColor" on the grid options is now deprecated in favour of a -corresponding option on the axes, so { grid: { tickColor: "#000" }} -becomes { xaxis: { tickColor: "#000"}, yaxis: { tickColor: "#000"} }, -but if you just configure a base color Flot will now autogenerate a -tick color by adding transparency. Backwards-compatibility hooks are -in place. - -Final note: now that IE 9 is coming out with canvas support, you may -want to adapt the excanvas include to skip loading it in IE 9 (the -examples have been adapted thanks to Ryley Breiddal). An alternative -to excanvas using Flash has also surfaced, if your graphs are slow in -IE, you may want to give it a spin: - - http://code.google.com/p/flashcanvas/ - - -Changes: - -- Support for specifying a bottom for each point for line charts when - filling them, this means that an arbitrary bottom can be used - instead of just the x axis (based on patches patiently provided by - Roman V. Prikhodchenko). -- New fillbetween plugin that can compute a bottom for a series from - another series, useful for filling areas between lines (see new - example percentiles.html for a use case). -- More predictable handling of gaps for the stacking plugin, now all - undefined ranges are skipped. -- Stacking plugin can stack horizontal bar charts. -- Navigate plugin now redraws the plot while panning instead of only - after the fact (can be disabled by setting the pan.frameRate option - to null), raised by lastthemy (issue 235). -- Date formatter now accepts %0m and %0d to get a zero-padded month or - day (issue raised by Maximillian Dornseif). -- Revamped internals to support an unlimited number of axes, not just - dual (sponsored by Flight Data Services, - www.flightdataservices.com). -- New setting on axes, "tickLength", to control the size of ticks or - turn them off without turning off the labels. -- Axis labels are now put in container divs with classes, for instance - labels in the x axes can be reached via ".xAxis .tickLabel". -- Support for setting the color of an axis (sponsored by Flight Data - Services, www.flightdataservices.com). -- Tick color is now auto-generated as the base color with some - transparency (unless you override it). -- Support for aligning ticks in the axes with "alignTicksWithAxis" to - ensure that they appear next to each other rather than in between, - at the expense of possibly awkward tick steps (sponsored by Flight - Data Services, www.flightdataservices.com). -- Support for customizing the point type through a callback when - plotting points and new symbol plugin with some predefined point - types (sponsored by Utility Data Corporation). -- Resize plugin for automatically redrawing when the placeholder - changes size, e.g. on window resizes (sponsored by Novus Partners). - A resize() method has been added to plot object facilitate this. -- Support Infinity/-Infinity for plotting asymptotes by hacking it - into +/-Number.MAX_VALUE (reported by rabaea.mircea). -- Support for restricting navigate plugin to not pan/zoom an axis (based - on patch by kkaefer). -- Support for providing the drag cursor for the navigate plugin as an - option (based on patch by Kelly T. Moore). -- Options for controlling whether an axis is shown or not (suggestion - by Timo Tuominen) and whether to reserve space for it even if it - isn't shown. -- New attribute $.plot.version with the Flot version as a string. -- The version comment is now included in the minified jquery.flot.min.js. -- New options.grid.minBorderMargin for adjusting the minimum margin - provided around the border (based on patch by corani, issue 188). -- Refactor replot behaviour so Flot tries to reuse the existing - canvas, adding shutdown() methods to the plot (based on patch by - Ryley Breiddal, issue 269). This prevents a memory leak in Chrome - and hopefully makes replotting faster for those who are using $.plot - instead of .setData()/.draw(). Also update jQuery to 1.5.1 to - prevent IE leaks fixed in jQuery. -- New real-time line chart example. - -- New hooks: drawSeries, shutdown - -Bug fixes: - -- Fixed problem with findNearbyItem and bars on top of each other - (reported by ragingchikn, issue 242). -- Fixed problem with ticks and the border (based on patch from - ultimatehustler69, issue 236). -- Fixed problem with plugins adding options to the series objects. -- Fixed a problem introduced in 0.6 with specifying a gradient with { - brightness: x, opacity: y }. -- Don't use $.browser.msie, check for getContext on the created canvas - element instead and try to use excanvas if it's not found (fixes IE - 9 compatibility). -- highlight(s, index) was looking up the point in the original s.data - instead of in the computed datapoints array, which breaks with - plugins that modify the datapoints (such as the stacking plugin). - Issue 316 reported by curlypaul924. -- More robust handling of axis from data passed in from getData() - (problem reported by Morgan). -- Fixed problem with turning off bar outline (issue 253, fix by Jordi - Castells). -- Check the selection passed into setSelection in the selection - plugin, to guard against errors when synchronizing plots (fix by Lau - Bech Lauritzen). -- Fix bug in crosshair code with mouseout resetting the crosshair even - if it is locked (fix by Lau Bech Lauritzen and Banko Adam). -- Fix bug with points plotting using line width from lines rather than - points. -- Fix bug with passing non-array 0 data (for plugins that don't expect - arrays, patch by vpapp1). -- Fix errors in JSON in examples so they work with jQuery 1.4.2 - (fix reported by honestbleeps, issue 357). -- Fix bug with tooltip in interacting.html, this makes the tooltip - much smoother (fix by bdkahn). Fix related bug inside highlighting - handler in Flot. -- Use closure trick to make inline colorhelpers plugin respect - jQuery.noConflict(true), renaming the global jQuery object (reported - by Nick Stielau). -- Listen for mouseleave events and fire a plothover event with empty - item when it occurs to drop highlights when the mouse leaves the - plot (reported by by outspirit). -- Fix bug with using aboveData with a background (reported by - amitayd). -- Fix possible excanvas leak (report and suggested fix by tom9729). -- Fix bug with backwards compatibility for shadowSize = 0 (report and - suggested fix by aspinak). -- Adapt examples to skip loading excanvas (fix by Ryley Breiddal). -- Fix bug that prevent a simple f(x) = -x transform from working - correctly (fix by Mike, issue 263). -- Fix bug in restoring cursor in navigate plugin (reported by Matteo - Gattanini, issue 395). -- Fix bug in picking items when transform/inverseTransform is in use - (reported by Ofri Raviv, and patches and analysis by Jan and Tom - Paton, issue 334 and 467). -- Fix problem with unaligned ticks and hover/click events caused by - padding on the placeholder by hardcoding the placeholder padding to - 0 (reported by adityadineshsaxena, Matt Sommer, Daniel Atos and some - other people, issue 301). -- Update colorhelpers plugin to avoid dying when trying to parse an - invalid string (reported by cadavor, issue 483). - - -Flot 0.6 --------- - -API changes: - -1. Selection support has been moved to a plugin. Thus if you're -passing selection: { mode: something }, you MUST include the file -jquery.flot.selection.js after jquery.flot.js. This reduces the size -of base Flot and makes it easier to customize the selection as well as -improving code clarity. The change is based on a patch from andershol. - -2. In the global options specified in the $.plot command, -"lines", "points", "bars" and "shadowSize" have been moved to a -sub-object called "series", i.e. - - $.plot(placeholder, data, { lines: { show: true }}) - -should be changed to - - $.plot(placeholder, data, { series: { lines: { show: true }}}) - -All future series-specific options will go into this sub-object to -simplify plugin writing. Backward-compatibility code is in place, so -old code should not break. - -3. "plothover" no longer provides the original data point, but instead -a normalized one, since there may be no corresponding original point. - -4. Due to a bug in previous versions of jQuery, you now need at least -jQuery 1.2.6. But if you can, try jQuery 1.3.2 as it got some -improvements in event handling speed. - - -Changes: - -- Added support for disabling interactivity for specific data series - (request from Ronald Schouten and Steve Upton). - -- Flot now calls $() on the placeholder and optional legend container - passed in so you can specify DOM elements or CSS expressions to make - it easier to use Flot with libraries like Prototype or Mootools or - through raw JSON from Ajax responses. - -- A new "plotselecting" event is now emitted while the user is making - a selection. - -- The "plothover" event is now emitted immediately instead of at most - 10 times per second, you'll have to put in a setTimeout yourself if - you're doing something really expensive on this event. - -- The built-in date formatter can now be accessed as - $.plot.formatDate(...) (suggestion by Matt Manela) and even - replaced. - -- Added "borderColor" option to the grid (patch from Amaury Chamayou - and patch from Mike R. Williamson). - -- Added support for gradient backgrounds for the grid, take a look at - the "setting options" example (based on patch from Amaury Chamayou, - issue 90). - -- Gradient bars (suggestion by stefpet). - -- Added a "plotunselected" event which is triggered when the selection - is removed, see "selection" example (suggestion by Meda Ugo); - -- The option legend.margin can now specify horizontal and vertical - margins independently (suggestion by someone who's annoyed). - -- Data passed into Flot is now copied to a new canonical format to - enable further processing before it hits the drawing routines. As a - side-effect, this should make Flot more robust in the face of bad - data (and fixes issue 112). - -- Step-wise charting: line charts have a new option "steps" that when - set to true connects the points with horizontal/vertical steps - instead of diagonal lines. - -- The legend labelFormatter now passes the series in addition to just - the label (suggestion by Vincent Lemeltier). - -- Horizontal bars (based on patch by Jason LeBrun). - -- Support for partial bars by specifying a third coordinate, i.e. they - don't have to start from the axis. This can be used to make stacked - bars. - -- New option to disable the (grid.show). - -- Added pointOffset method for converting a point in data space to an - offset within the placeholder. - -- Plugin system: register an init method in the $.flot.plugins array - to get started, see PLUGINS.txt for details on how to write plugins - (it's easy). There are also some extra methods to enable access to - internal state. - -- Hooks: you can register functions that are called while Flot is - crunching the data and doing the plot. This can be used to modify - Flot without changing the source, useful for writing plugins. Some - hooks are defined, more are likely to come. - -- Threshold plugin: you can set a threshold and a color, and the data - points below that threshold will then get the color. Useful for - marking data below 0, for instance. - -- Stack plugin: you can specify a stack key for each series to have - them summed. This is useful for drawing additive/cumulative graphs - with bars and (currently unfilled) lines. - -- Crosshairs plugin: trace the mouse position on the axes, enable with - crosshair: { mode: "x"} (see the new tracking example for a use). - -- Image plugin: plot prerendered images. - -- Navigation plugin for panning and zooming a plot. - -- More configurable grid. - -- Axis transformation support, useful for non-linear plots, e.g. log - axes and compressed time axes (like omitting weekends). - -- Support for twelve-hour date formatting (patch by Forrest Aldridge). - -- The color parsing code in Flot has been cleaned up and split out so - it's now available as a separate jQuery plugin. It's included inline - in the Flot source to make dependency managing easier. This also - makes it really easy to use the color helpers in Flot plugins. - -Bug fixes: - -- Fixed two corner-case bugs when drawing filled curves (report and - analysis by Joshua Varner). -- Fix auto-adjustment code when setting min to 0 for an axis where the - dataset is completely flat on that axis (report by chovy). -- Fixed a bug with passing in data from getData to setData when the - secondary axes are used (issue 65, reported by nperelman). -- Fixed so that it is possible to turn lines off when no other chart - type is shown (based on problem reported by Glenn Vanderburg), and - fixed so that setting lineWidth to 0 also hides the shadow (based on - problem reported by Sergio Nunes). -- Updated mousemove position expression to the latest from jQuery (bug - reported by meyuchas). -- Use CSS borders instead of background in legend (fix printing issue 25 - and 45). -- Explicitly convert axis min/max to numbers. -- Fixed a bug with drawing marking lines with different colors - (reported by Khurram). -- Fixed a bug with returning y2 values in the selection event (fix - by exists, issue 75). -- Only set position relative on placeholder if it hasn't already a - position different from static (reported by kyberneticist, issue 95). -- Don't round markings to prevent sub-pixel problems (reported by Dan - Lipsitt). -- Make the grid border act similarly to a regular CSS border, i.e. - prevent it from overlapping the plot itself. This also fixes a - problem with anti-aliasing when the width is 1 pixel (reported by - Anthony Ettinger). -- Imported version 3 of excanvas and fixed two issues with the newer - version. Hopefully, this will make Flot work with IE8 (nudge by - Fabien Menager, further analysis by Booink, issue 133). -- Changed the shadow code for lines to hopefully look a bit better - with vertical lines. -- Round tick positions to avoid possible problems with fractions - (suggestion by Fred, issue 130). -- Made the heuristic for determining how many ticks to aim for a bit - smarter. -- Fix for uneven axis margins (report and patch by Paul Kienzle) and - snapping to ticks (concurrent report and patch by lifthrasiir). -- Fixed bug with slicing in findNearbyItems (patch by zollman). -- Make heuristic for x axis label widths more dynamic (patch by - rickinhethuis). -- Make sure points on top take precedence when finding nearby points - when hovering (reported by didroe, issue 224). - -Flot 0.5 --------- - -Backwards API change summary: Timestamps are now in UTC. Also -"selected" event -> becomes "plotselected" with new data, the -parameters for setSelection are now different (but backwards -compatibility hooks are in place), coloredAreas becomes markings with -a new interface (but backwards compatibility hooks are in place). - - -Interactivity: added a new "plothover" event and this and the -"plotclick" event now returns the closest data item (based on patch by -/david, patch by Mark Byers for bar support). See the revamped -"interacting with the data" example for some hints on what you can do. - -Highlighting: you can now highlight points and datapoints are -autohighlighted when you hover over them (if hovering is turned on). - -Support for dual axis has been added (based on patch by someone who's -annoyed and /david). For each data series you can specify which axes -it belongs to, and there are two more axes, x2axis and y2axis, to -customize. This affects the "selected" event which has been renamed to -"plotselected" and spews out { xaxis: { from: -10, to: 20 } ... }, -setSelection in which the parameters are on a new form (backwards -compatible hooks are in place so old code shouldn't break) and -markings (formerly coloredAreas). - -Timestamps in time mode are now displayed according to -UTC instead of the time zone of the visitor. This affects the way the -timestamps should be input; you'll probably have to offset the -timestamps according to your local time zone. It also affects any -custom date handling code (which basically now should use the -equivalent UTC date mehods, e.g. .setUTCMonth() instead of -.setMonth(). - -Added support for specifying the size of tick labels (axis.labelWidth, -axis.labelHeight). Useful for specifying a max label size to keep -multiple plots aligned. - -Markings, previously coloredAreas, are now specified as ranges on the -axes, like { xaxis: { from: 0, to: 10 }}. Furthermore with markings -you can now draw horizontal/vertical lines by setting from and to to -the same coordinate (idea from line support patch by by Ryan Funduk). - -The "fill" option can now be a number that specifies the opacity of -the fill. - -You can now specify a coordinate as null (like [2, null]) and Flot -will take the other coordinate into account when scaling the axes -(based on patch by joebno). - -New option for bars "align". Set it to "center" to center the bars on -the value they represent. - -setSelection now takes a second parameter which you can use to prevent -the method from firing the "plotselected" handler. - -Using the "container" option in legend now overwrites the container -element instead of just appending to it (fixes infinite legend bug, -reported by several people, fix by Brad Dewey). - -Fixed a bug in calculating spacing around the plot (reported by -timothytoe). Fixed a bug in finding max values for all-negative data -sets. Prevent the possibility of eternal looping in tick calculations. -Fixed a bug when borderWidth is set to 0 (reported by -Rob/sanchothefat). Fixed a bug with drawing bars extending below 0 -(reported by James Hewitt, patch by Ryan Funduk). Fixed a -bug with line widths of bars (reported by MikeM). Fixed a bug with -'nw' and 'sw' legend positions. Improved the handling of axis -auto-scaling with bars. Fixed a bug with multi-line x-axis tick -labels (reported by Luca Ciano). IE-fix help by Savage Zhang. - - -Flot 0.4 --------- - -API changes: deprecated axis.noTicks in favor of just specifying the -number as axis.ticks. So "xaxis: { noTicks: 10 }" becomes -"xaxis: { ticks: 10 }" - -Time series support. Specify axis.mode: "time", put in Javascript -timestamps as data, and Flot will automatically spit out sensible -ticks. Take a look at the two new examples. The format can be -customized with axis.timeformat and axis.monthNames, or if that fails -with axis.tickFormatter. - -Support for colored background areas via grid.coloredAreas. Specify an -array of { x1, y1, x2, y2 } objects or a function that returns these -given { xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax }. - -More members on the plot object (report by Chris Davies and others). -"getData" for inspecting the assigned settings on data series (e.g. -color) and "setData", "setupGrid" and "draw" for updating the contents -without a total replot. - -The default number of ticks to aim for is now dependent on the size of -the plot in pixels. Support for customizing tick interval sizes -directly with axis.minTickSize and axis.tickSize. - -Cleaned up the automatic axis scaling algorithm and fixed how it -interacts with ticks. Also fixed a couple of tick-related corner case -bugs (one reported by mainstreetmark, another reported by timothytoe). - -The option axis.tickFormatter now takes a function with two -parameters, the second parameter is an optional object with -information about the axis. It has min, max, tickDecimals, tickSize. - -Added support for segmented lines (based on patch from Michael -MacDonald) and for ignoring null and bad values (suggestion from Nick -Konidaris and joshwaihi). - -Added support for changing the border width (joebno and safoo). -Label colors can be changed via CSS by selecting the tickLabel class. - -Fixed a bug in handling single-item bar series (reported by Emil -Filipov). Fixed erratic behaviour when interacting with the plot -with IE 7 (reported by Lau Bech Lauritzen). Prevent IE/Safari text -selection when selecting stuff on the canvas. - - - -Flot 0.3 --------- - -This is mostly a quick-fix release because jquery.js wasn't included -in the previous zip/tarball. - -Support clicking on the plot. Turn it on with grid: { clickable: true }, -then you get a "plotclick" event on the graph placeholder with the -position in units of the plot. - -Fixed a bug in dealing with data where min = max, thanks to Michael -Messinides. - -Include jquery.js in the zip/tarball. - - -Flot 0.2 --------- - -Added support for putting a background behind the default legend. The -default is the partly transparent background color. Added -backgroundColor and backgroundOpacity to the legend options to control -this. - -The ticks options can now be a callback function that takes one -parameter, an object with the attributes min and max. The function -should return a ticks array. - -Added labelFormatter option in legend, useful for turning the legend -labels into links. - -Fixed a couple of bugs. - -The API should now be fully documented. - -Patch from Guy Fraser to make parts of the code smaller. - -API changes: Moved labelMargin option to grid from x/yaxis. - - -Flot 0.1 --------- - -First public release. |
