United states map (made using Mercator projection)

United Kingdom map with regions

Map of New Zealand was updated - it uses Mercator projection now and is more detailed.

All three maps are calibrated and can be used with real longitudes and latitudes.

Events in the settings file
Events can be added directly to the settings file, within <events></events> in the <data_set> section. This will allow you to have all the data in one file only.

Horizontal and vertical lines (guides)
The events were extended so that the chart can display horizontal and vertical guides (barriers). Check the new structured_products example to see how this is done.

Base date of recalculation
Previously, when comparing the data sets, the values were recalculated from the selected period first date or from the first date of the data set. Now you can set any base date.  Value of a base date will be used as a base for recalculation. This might be useful for structured financial products. You can set the base using <base_data> setting in the <comparing> settings. Check the structured_products example to see how this is done.

Show / hide events with JavaScript
You can show/hide events with a new JS functions: flashMovie.showEvents(); and flashMovie.hideEvents();

12 or 24 hour format in the legend and axis
12 hour time format can be displayed in the legend and axis values. To do this, you should set <hour_format>12</hour_format> in the date_formats settings. Hours in the data file must always be in 24 hour format.

Show comparing legend entries only
You can make the legend to display entries of comparing data sets only and not to display the legend entry of a graph by setting <comparing_only> in the graphs’s legend settings.

Hide date in the legend when mouse is away from plot area
The date in the legend can be hidden when the mouse is not over the plot area. This might help you to avoid overlapping of date and legend entries, as the date takes more space when displaying period instead of single date. To hide the date, set: <hide_date_on_period>true</hide_date_on_period> in the chart’s legend settings.

Disabling interactivity
You can disable all the interactivity of a chart by setting <interactive>false</interactive>

Error messages
A new group of settings - <error_messages> was added. You can disable error messages, set colors and opacity.

Keeping selected data sets after setSettings() function
Previously, after you use setSettings() JavaScript function, the data sets selected by user were reset to the initial state. Now the chart keeps the selections. A new parameter to the setSettings function added, in order you don’t want to keep the selections:
setSettings(settings, rebuild, reset_selected)

BUG FIXES:

flashMovie.print() and flashMovie.printAsBitmap() functions where not work properly in some cases.

JS functions amClickedOn(chart_id, date, period) and amRolledOver(chart_id, date, period) were returning not full date and undefined period in some cases.

JS function on error, amError(chart_id, message) wasn’t called when the error occurred.

• FEATURE ADDED: added Column3D ColumnChartTypes enumeration value for 3d column chart
• CHANGE: all charts: Zoom context menu is hidden by default

Objects can be listed in a drop-down or a list box, a separate group of settings, <object_list> was added to control this drop down. Check World capitals example to see how it works.

Legend can be displayed on top of a map. A separate section of settings, <legend> was added to control the legend.

Instead of lines you can have smoothed curves. The <line> must have at least 3 points to produce a curve.

Balloon can have rounded corners (<corner_radius> setting was added).

The areas and movies can be linked together so that when user rolls-over or clicks on the object some other objects changes the color too.

The default world map is much better calibrated now. The World capitals example uses real longitudes/latitudes for all the cities on the map.

Map of Italy replaced with a much better one.

Also, amMap web site was redesigned, more examples were added!

Examples:

• Stacked radar chart
• 100% stacked spider chart
• Polar chart

I hope this new chart will be useful!

Improvement: Now, if the data source doesn’t have column which should be used as graph’s <close> data source, the graph will not have legend entry in the legend. The same is with comparing graphs - if the selected for comparing data set doesn’t have the column which must be used for comparing graph, This data set will not have entry in the legend.

Bug fix: <digits_after_decimal><data> setting only added required number of zeros, not rounded the numbers when the data was grouped to a longer periods.

Bug fix: If the chart had graphs both on left and right axes and also had events, the events were displayed for two times instead of one.

<smoothed>true</smoothed> in the graph’s settings. Comparing graphs can also be smoothed, you should set: <comparing><smoothed>true</smoothed></comparing> In chart’s settings.

Other updates in this version:

Percent sign (%) is added automatically to the Y axis values when comparing data sets and the <recalculate> is set to "true".

Bug fix: when <equal_spacing> was set to "false" and there were multiple graphs with type "column", the columns were displaced incorrectly. This problem was fixed in this version.
