What's new with RGraph at the moment?
Written by Richard Heyes, RGraph author, on 2nd June 2021It's been a month and a bit since the last release so here's an update on what's been added to RGraph recently. There's not a huge amount - but perhaps that's a sign that RGraph is close to being perfect...? Yes, let's go with that.
-
There are now some pseudo-constants that you might be able to make use of. Obviously
(older)
javascript
implementations don't have constants - so really they're just variables with an all-capitals naming convention. They are:RGraph.MONTHS_SHORT
RGraph.MONTHS_LONG
RGraph.DAYS_SHORT
RGraph.DAYS_LONG
RGraph.HOURS24
RGraph.HOURS12
-
Both the
Line charts
andScatter charts
can now add a trendline to your data if you wish. An example of theLine chart
using a trendline is shown on the RGraph Facebook page. The options that control the trendline are as follows:trendline
trendlineColors
trendlineLinewidth
trendlineMargin
trendlineDashed
trendlineDotted
trendlineDashArray
-
The
Scatter chart
now has an explode effect. With this effect, the marks on the chart explode outwards from a point on the chart (top-left, top-center, top-right, center-left, center-center, center-right, bottom-left, bottom-center or bottom-right). -
The
RScatter chart
also now has an explode effect. Similar to theScatter chart
, with this effect the marks on the chart explode outwards from the center of the chart.
Also, whilst not strictly a change to RGraph, it's definitely worthy of mention that RGraph can now be found on GitHub (the source control website used by many, many developers).
So there you go - not a great deal happening with RGraph at the moment but development is most definitely still occurring, albeit at a somewhat slower pace. I've pegged the next release for July - though if you can't wait you could grab the source code for a particular library from the GitHub repository (link above). If you do then remember that you may also need to get the common core library as well as the chart library that you want.
