amCharts & amMap blog

First, let me wish you merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I also have a small Christmas present in a form of new features for XY chart:

1) XY chart can be used as time plot now! This is useful for graphing values at irregular intervals. Both axis can display time values. Here is time plot example.

2) if your axis displays duration, you can format axis values now - instead of 130 seconds you can show 2:10 or 2 min 10 s or similar. Check the same example.

Since v 1.3.3 of all charts you can control minimum number of digits after decimal. This is especially  useful if you display prices and want at least two digits to be displayed after decimal. New setting is added for all charts:

<digits_after_decimal>2</digits_after_decimal>

Axis values will be affected by this setting only if they have at least one non integer value, otherwise integers without decimals will be displayed.

Some good people (thanks a lot!) created two plugins:

amPie + Joomla = joomPie
This plugin makes integration of amPie into Joomla an easy task.

amLine + Symfony = sfAmChartsPlugin
This plugin helps to integrate amLine into Symfony.

Note, that amCharts didn’t take part in these projects, so I can not provide support on these topics.
