cool. thanks. didn't find the data canvas? But Ely has some very cool charting samples here http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/ChartSampler/app.html He has a mouse handling example that shows how to convert mouse location to data. Looks like what I need to learn, then learn the drag drop side. But, I'm on a short deadline, so this feature will have to come later. I was hoping charts supported datapoint drag/drop natively.
Thanks for the help Simon. and thanks Ely for the wealth of charting examples!
