Graphics API
I was thinking to develop my own viewlet where I need to show some
graphics. Is the Graphic API used for reports in Jazz/RTC public and documented so I can reuse it instead of using third party libraries like jChart? Thanks in advance, Chemi. |

Hi Chemi,
There are three Charting APIs within RTC: (1) Jazz Flash charting engine => Client-side technology powered by Flash => Used by Work Item Statistics viewlet => No API. Strictly internal => No documentation (2) BIRT charting engine => Server-side technology powered by Java/Eclipse => Used by Reports Web UI and Trend Reports viewlet => Public API => Documentation: http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/ (3) DojoX charting engine => Client-side technology powered by JavaScript/CSS/HTML => Not used by any component at the moment => Public API => Documentation: http://docs.dojocampus.org/dojox/charting/ http://api.dojotoolkit.org/jsdoc/1.3/dojox.charting I think (3) would be the easiest to learn, the simplest to use and have the most dynamic capabilities for viewlet requirements. Thanks, Mike |
