Chart/Graph using data in a Store

[feanor73]

An Ext chart/graph library would great (bar chart, line graph, pie charts, whatever) based on the data in a Store.

I don't now that this is on the radar, but I think there's a barchart example in the Examples forum.

[feanor73]

Yes,

I saw the example that was posted. I could use that as a starting point, but I was hoping to use a JavaScript based charting package that had some robustness to it without having to write my own package. If charting is not on Ext's long range plans, so be it. (but I hope it is!)

Keep up the good work!

If I were you, I'd look at some kind of Flash graphing package. I'm pretty sure FusionCharts can be loaded using javascript. It can also pull remote XML and use that to build a chart, so you might not even need to use a store (assuming you want the store to handle loading of remote data).

HTML/CSS/Javascript really isn't that great of way to do charts. Flash or server side images seem like the way to go.

[MrKurt]

Ah, here we go. You can dump XML directly to a Fusion chart, which should be pretty easy to generate from a Store:

Thanks for the advice!

I'll give it a look.

Thanks for the link too... notice that it's based on mochikit - may potentially conflict with Ext?
We're currently looking into various alternatives for charting as well.

Would be really great if Ext were to do charting natively... :)
