I found that right after I posted. My first project was plotting daily hits. I just made the x axis the day of the month and made sure my values arrays have an entry for every day and formatted the date using tickFormatter. Worked great, but what you suggest would be even easier. Ken On Dec 5, 2:57 am, Ole Laursen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Dec 4, 8:35 pm, Ken Gregg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Great work.

Just off the top of my head. 1) I'd like to see some sort of background color for the labels in the top right. The text overlaps the lines and make it a little tough to read. At least an option for it. That's really it. This is QUITE impressive and I can easily see uses for this.

I've just now committed to SVN support for the options backgroundColor and backgroundOpacity for the legend. The default is to use an opacity of 85% and try to guess the color.

Ole, This is absolutely brilliant stuff here. Wow! I can't tell you how much I love this. At jQueryCamp07, John Resig and Bradley Sepos did a presentation on canvas, and I was blown away by the possibilities. This plugin confirms my blown-away-edness. :-) Any plans for a pie chart type -- maybe by using arc(x, y, radius, startAngle, endAngle, anticlockwise) ? --Karl _ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com On Dec 4, 2007, at 7:04 AM, Ole Laursen wrote: Hi!
