ZingChart: Feb 22 Release

5347: Release Notes Ticket

- Added "stepped" aspect on area/area3d charts
- Added "step-start" attribute ([middle] | before | after) on line/line3d and area/area3d charts
- Added "sticky" attribute (boolean) and "timeout" (number) on tooltip to create a time delay before hiding the tooltip. If one hovers over the tooltip within that timeout, the tooltip will stay visible.
- Setting "dynamic" margins on plotarea on xy charts will also modify the plot's dimensions to prevent overlaps between scale label and scale items
- Added "marker-off" attribute on legend to allow different styles for on/off markers
- Added zingchart.bind(sId, sEvent, oFn) and zingchart.unbind(sId, sEvent, oFn) methods for finer event handling management. If sId is null then the event will be assigned to all the existing charts on a page
- Improved short notation label display

4938: Support: Pie value labels

Fixed bug where Pie value-box does not show up in correct place when values are 50/50

4930: 3DPIE and 0 values

Fixed bug with 3D Pie charts and 0 values.

4920: Support: Marker issue

Cross and Plus Markers now are set via line-color and line-width to match HTML5.

1060: Improved Color Format Support for ZingChart Values

Added support for rgba as well as setting background-color-1 and background-color-2 with rgb through the background-color attribute.

4929: SUPPORT: Pie legend issue

It is now possible to set "text" within legend item to set the text format for the legend.  This matches the functionality of HTML5.

4934: negation : [standard] | currency

Added 

negation : [standard] | currency

on scale and plot (along the other formatting attributes) to control how the negative values are displayed independent of the chosen format. 

For example, if on scale format is $%v then the values -100 and 100 will be formatted as:

negation : "standard" ------- $-100 $100
negation : "currency" ------- -$100 $100

4935: JS Formatter

It is now possible to add "format": "javascript:myJavaScriptFunction" to the scale.  When this is done, the JavaScript function will be called for each item on the scale.  It will pass the JavaScript function a single value parameter.  The value returned from the JavaScript function will be displayed in the scale.

4947: adjust-scale on feed

Added 

adjust-scale : true | [false]

attribute on "refresh" object that will control how the data will be loaded. 

If false (default) the scale interval will stay fixed (and calculated using the max-ticks attribute) as the data is being loaded.

If true, the scale interval will change as data is being loaded so that the full space of the scale will be used.

4943: Common Legend across multiple graphs.

Added 

shared : true | [false]
group : (numeric)

on legend object to allow for shared legends and even grouping the shared legends.

Demo: http://www.zingchart.com/supportdemo/502c08825b475?nocode

1393: Customizing Loading Screen

It is possible to customize the loading progress bar through the zingchart.render method:
zingchart.render({
                      dataurl                : dataUrl,
                      output          : 'flash',
                      width                  : 600,
                      height                  : 400,
                      container              : 'zingchart',
                      preservecontainer: true,
                      liburl          : zingLib,
                      progressbar:{
                            color: '#ff0000',
                            text: 'Please Wait',
                            backgroundcolor: '#c3c3c3',
                            bordercolor: '#ff0000',
                            borderwidth: 2,
                            fontcolor: '#ffffff'
                      }
              });

1244: Inherit scale colors from plot

It is now possible to set "line-color": "inherit" on the scale objects.  If this is set, the scale line color will match the first plot object that uses that scale.

It is also possible to set inherit on the line-color property of "tick", "minor-tick", and "ref-angle".  If this is set, it will inherit the line-color of the scale.

Finally, "inherit" can be set on the font-color of "item" and "label".  Once again, it will inherit the line-color of the scale.

4748: Flash Bootstrap Loader

Zingchart now ships with two swfs.  The first is zingchart.swf which is a small swf that presents the loading screen.  The second is zingchart_lib.swf which is the entire swf.  If you include zingchart.swf, it will present the loading screen to the user and then load the zingchart_lib.swf.

1563: Zomming hbar charts

Zooming has been added to scale-x and scale-y for hbar charts.

331: Highlight Legend

"legend" : {
	"item":{
	     "highlight-item":true
	}
}

The effect is a size+1 on the marker and a bold on the text.

913: Scale mirroring discrepancies

When scale-y is mirrored in area graphs, the area now correctly flows upward.

1080: Transparent value for background-color-1 or background-color-2

It is now possible to set background-color-1 or background-color-2 to transparent and have the alpha change.

4820: Conditional Builds

With a special license, it is now possible to make conditional flash builds including only the features that are needed.  This results in a smaller swf file.

4740: Legend toggle-action should be inside legend in addition to item

toggle-action can be placed within legend to match with HTML5.
"legend":{
  "toggle-action":"remove",
  "layout":"float",

}

4741: Mirror in Gauge does not work

Gauge now displays properly when scale-r has "mirrored" set to true.

                "x":130,
                "y":130,
                "width":240,
                "height":100,

                    "background-color":"blue"
                },
                "label":{
                    "text":"Rect",
                    "background-color":"#fc0 #ff0",
                    "padding":"2 4"
                },
                "tooltip":{
                    "text":"My Rectangle",
                    "background-color":"#f00"
                }

"type" can be set to circle, square, rect, triangle, diamond, plus, cross, star3-star9, gauge3-gauge9, line, poly, or pie.

In the case of pie, angle-start and angle-end should be set to indicate the position of the gap.
