A close reading shows that the chart API as a whole was not being deprecated. However, it looks like they deprecated "Image Charts".
That said, according to their deprecation policy they should have documented suggested alternatives, and they have not done so. Anyways my guess is that what this really means is that whoever wrote that system no longer works for Google, or is busy on something else, and that they don't have any plans to do much of anything with "Image Charts". -- Raul On Fri, Jun 20, 2014 at 9:53 AM, Brian Schott <[email protected]> wrote: > JHS uses Google charts as can be seen here. > > http://127.0.0.1:65001/jhelp#gcplot > > Unfortunately, when you look at the links below, it is clear these charts > are deprecated by Google with an "ulitimate" date of April 2015 according > to the "Deprecation policy" at the 3rd link. > > https://developers.google.com/chart/image/ > https://developers.google.com/chart/infographics/ > https://developers.google.com/chart/terms > > I would like advice and comments regarding this (especially because an app > I am being forced to revise because of another feature that was > inadvertently dropped by Google in an upgrade, no longer works). > > It is my understanding that "deprecation" usually means that things _may_ > work after a certain date, and that often it means that alternative > features are under development to replace the deprecated material.
