AJAX functions

RGraph has some simplified ajax helper functions that make it much easier to initiate ajax calls without having to be concerned about what the format that the response is in (string, number, object etc).

Previously, because the response to an ajax request is a string, you had to convert it into a usable form (such as a number or an array).

With these functions though they automatically do the data format conversion for you. The AJAX functions that are available to you are:

There are straight-forward examples of the AJAX functions in the basic examples in the download archive

<script>
    RGraph.AJAX.getJSON('/getdata.html?json', function (json)
    {
        new RGraph.Bar({
            id: 'cvs',
            data: json.data,
            options: {
                marginLeft:     50,
                marginInner:    10,
                tickmarksStyle: 'endcircle',
                linewidth:      2,
                xaxisLabels:    json.labels
            }
        }).draw();
    });
</script>

* As of October 2013 there's now a dedicated CSV reader (that also fetches a CSV file via AJAX) that's a part of RGraph.
