Is Ext thinking of supporting a charting tool

[sayanb]

I am in dire need of a JavaScript charting tool. Is Ext thinking of developing and supporting one in the near future?

As much as I would love Ext to provide the feature, my requirement is kind of immediate,
and would welcome any other javascript charting tool till the time Ext does not come up with one. Could anyone point me to such a solution? No flash dependent solutions please.

Moderators I am OK if you move this post from this particular forum to some other, but please do not remove it all together. I could really use the community's assistance on this one.

thanks

Ext is supposed to have one for 3.0 coming out at the end of the year. In fact, I checked SVN yesterday and charting stuff has made its way in. Unfortunately, it is a flash based one from the YUI Charts, which you said you weren't wanting.

What Joker said is correct. Since our solution will definitely not meet your requirement or timeframe, I'll move this to open discussion so others can reply.

I like FLOT if you don't need a pie chart and use jquery: http://people.iola.dk/olau/flot/examples/

I had this question a few weeks ago.

If the users of your application will have access to google then you can use google charts API. http://code.google.com/apis/chart/

The end users for my applications don't have internet access so i was looking at alternatives such as fusion charts (but that uses flash) and ejschart.

I've not worked with any of these yet as it's somehting i'm saving for a rainy day but they may be a starting point for you.

I have this blog post bookmarked:

Flot was a new addition to my list of known javacript charting tools. I knew about the rest before and have worked some with ejsCharts.

Unfortunately I really do need pie, scatter and bubble charts so flot is not an option.

EjsCharts is pretty good and easy to work with, but their support really sucks. You can not have them in a production quality environment.

Moderators please feel free to move this to the General discussion forum.

you may want to look into EJSCharts

we use it at my company for business intelligence reporting - sales graphs, comparative yearly analysis, etc.

yes, it costs money, but it's still rather inexpensive and the quality seems rather decent. I've had a minimum of problems with it.
