The learning curve can be pretty steep – but I sense you seem to enjoy that :) From: <ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com<mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com>> on behalf of Greg Keogh Reply-To: ozDotNet Date: Thursday, 10 September 2015 5:19 pm To: ozDotNet Subject: Cross-platform charting Hi Folks, I may have found a use for JavaScript (I can hear people falling out of their chairs from here!) ... indirectly. I'm keen to hear if anyone is doing what I'm about to try. My Xamarin generated app for phones on 3 platforms has to display charts and gauges of various types. I went looking for libraries to do this and found a variety with differing reputations and forum arguments about their pros and cons. I found Syncfusion for Xamarin which is a technical work of art and has renders for all 3 platforms that are single-line additions, then you feed the data in an off you go. I had it working in an hour, and I emailed them to confirm the price on their web link was actually $US99. No reply, but I noticed 3 days later that the price list has updated to show the price is actually $US1995, and the $99 is for the iOS target only. Methinks it was a mistake. So I've deleted Syncfusion. Ok, now for some lateral thinking: get "someone else" to draw the charts for me. Candidates are Google Charts<https://developers.google.com/chart/> and the Microsoft equivalent (I've lost it, what's it called ... ANYONE?!). In the mobile apps I feed the data as JavaScript arrays into HTML and show it in the WebView control which works easily on all platforms. So on online service is doing all the rendering for me. I'm just about to try the Google one, but I thought I'd ask for comments. Greg K
