Re: Best solution for client-side graphing in GWT?
Sorry for the late reply. Flash is definitely a deal-breaker for a multitude of reasons. It looks like your library maps flotr (which looks pretty nice), but extends VML. I definitely want something that extends the native Canvas or SVG (I'm currently using the SVG library). The visualization API looks good, as it appears to allow event-handling clicks, etc. However, that GCharts demo is very impressive. Thanks for the feedback.

Re: Best solution for client-side graphing in GWT?
The key drawback with amcharts (and chronoscope) is that they rely on flash for their charting. This provides a distorted presence across browsers (unless it always uses flash) and requires the end user to have a plugin installed (third party, closed source). Instead a better solution would be one that leveraged each browser's functionality to provide a native solution.

Re: Best solution for client-side graphing in GWT?
Agreed. It's very well priced as well.
The main drawback of amcharts is that there is no ability to generate
server-side charts (it's all flash, and restricted to client side for
the time being). You'll have to generate charts for pdf's if you need
them using another solution like jfreechart.
Another hiccup we faced was getting them to display - sometimes there
are errors (I forget the reason, but they are intermittent).
You'll have to include swfobject.js as a script, and then the
following code should help:
public void build() {
try {
if (!buildInternal(swfUrl, settingsFile, dataUrl, path,
height,
width < 101 ? width + "%" : width + "",
preloaderColour,
backgroundColour, divID)) {
new Timer() {
public void run() {
build();
}
}.schedule(2000);
}
} catch (final Exception e) {
log(e);
// this happens when the user changes pages before we
have built
}
}
/**
* This calls out to the SWFObject class to build the flash widget
itself
*/
private native boolean buildInternal(String swfUrl, String settings,
String dataUrl, String path, int height, String width,
String preloaderColour, String backgroundColour, String
divID) /*-{
if( typeof($wnd.deconcept) == "undefined" || $wnd.deconcept ==
null ) return false;
var so = new $wnd.deconcept.SWFObject(swfUrl, "amline", width,
height, "8",
backgroundColour);
so.addVariable("path", path);
so.addVariable("chart_settings", escape(settings));
so.addVariable("data_file", escape(dataUrl));
so.addVariable("preloader_color", escape(preloaderColour));
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.write(divID);
return true;
}-*/;

Re: Best solution for client-side graphing in GWT?
Nathan, Though Client-side GChart doesn't have direct event support, it does support Widget-based annotations, which can be used to do the same kinds of things. For example, by adding a transparent Image widget as an annotation that is centered on a particular data point (via the setAnnotationWidget and setAnnotationLocation(AnnotationLocation.CENTER) methods) you can capture user events targeted to that data point. The bar chart on the live demo (accessible from the GChart home page), which uses buttons for the annotations placed above each bar (try clicking on them) illustrates the basic technique. Since any GWT widget can be used as a point's annotation, you can exploit the event support built into the standard set of GWT widgets to make a GChart respond to user events in lots of interesting ways.

Re: Best solution for client-side graphing in GWT?
We finally decided to use a gwt wrapper around amcharts.com. First we tried standard jfreechart, but they weren't interactive. Then we used http://www.maani.us/xml_charts/ but they weren't as good as amcharts, and decided to switch.
