Re: [PHP] Canvas examples
I thought it was pretty cool too - I didn't know about canvas, but your example says a lot, I think. But when you compare it to something like this: http://ejohn.org/apps/processing.js/examples/custom/molten.html it looks pretty basic (which it is). Mine is perhaps an intro, whereas this illustrates what can be done with some (a lot?) of work. -- Richard Heyes Employ me: http://www.phpguru.org/cv ++ | Access SSH with a Windows mapped drive | |http://www.phpguru.org/sftpdrive| ++ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I guess the other browser doesn't do much with canvas ? /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Canvas examples
I guess the other browser doesn't do much with canvas ? Nope. Eg: canvas id=foo This gets shown on none supporting browsers, but not on supportive browsers. /canvas MSIE just shows the text and doesn't do anything with the canvas. One thing about using a canvas is bandwidth. If it's a big concern I would hazard a guess that a bar chart (for example) would cost less in terms of code required to build the image compared to JPGraph, and also less in terms of output (particularly if you were to use output compression). -- Richard Heyes Employ me: http://www.phpguru.org/cv ++ | Access SSH with a Windows mapped drive | |http://www.phpguru.org/sftpdrive| ++ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Another idea for dynamic graphing could be: http://solutoire.com/plotr/ It also uses the canvas element, but if you use excanvas for IE it'll work in most newer browsers. I've used it in a project to provide dynamic bar graphs from a queue so that they could see in semi-real time how many customer requests were in different queues. It was an internal app, or else I'd link it :( -- Ray Hauge www.primateapplications.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Canvas examples
Does anyone have any more examples of the new canvas element they've written?

Re: [PHP] Canvas examples
That's very cool, Richard. Well, thanks, but I wouldn't call it very cool. Now a graphing library that output the results using a canvas, thus negating the need for JPGraph would definitely be nice. Or you could just use JPGraph and get to the pub earlier... :-) -- Richard Heyes Employ me: http://www.phpguru.org/cv ++ | Access SSH with a Windows mapped drive | |http://www.phpguru.org/sftpdrive| ++ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
