(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. + +- Thresholding: 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. + +- 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. + +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 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 SVN version of excanvas and fixed an issue with the newer + version. Hopefully, this will make Flot work with IE8 (nudge by + Fabien Menager). +- 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). + + Flot 0.5 -------- -- cgit v1.2.3
