Hi again,
I'm very happy with jqChart and you guys are doing a great job with it.

I need to know if there's a way to draw some free line inside a chart(not line series).

Thanks!

Hi,

Can you provide us a little more info about what kind of lines you want to draw? We can probably include such functionality in the jqChart.

It's like trend lines. The users of a financial chart need to draw some trend lines to check if a a stock is raising or falling..

Like this example http://www.amcharts.com/...ck/drawing-trend-lines/ but beyond to draw a line maybe the users need to draw a circle, rect, and fibonacci retracement( http://www.swing-trade-s...iles/fibonaccichart.png ) on the stock chart.

Thanks!

Hi,

A Seperate plugin to enable drawing in charts make jqChart unbeatable product. Custom (user defined) Drawing tools and shape (to create fibonacci or ...) is another great bonus.

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions.

We’re discussing how to include this in the jqChart. We have plans for adding interactive annotations in the chart, which I believe is pretty the same as your proposals.

Are there any updates for this? Drawing would be a very interesting functionality for me, since I haven't yet found a chart-API which provides this in addition to some other criteria.

Currently we still don't fully support annotations. Here is an example how you can add a vertical line on mouse click:

Code:
   <script type="text/javascript">

        function addDays(date, value) {
            var newDate = new Date(date.getTime());
            newDate.setDate(date.getDate() + value);
            return newDate;
        }

        function round(d) {
            return Math.round(100 * d) / 100;
        }

        var data1 = [];
        var data2 = [];

        var yValue1 = 50;
        var yValue2 = 200;

        var date = new Date(2010, 0, 1);

        for (var i = 0; i < 200; i++) {

           yValue1 += Math.random() * 10 - 5;
            data1.push([date, round(yValue1)]);

            yValue2 += Math.random() * 10 - 5;
            data2.push([date, round(yValue2)]);

            date = addDays(date, 1);
        }

        $(document).ready(function () {

            var background = {
                type: 'linearGradient',
                x0: 0,
                y0: 0,
                x1: 0,
                y1: 1,
                colorStops: [{ offset: 0, color: '#d2e6c9' },
                             { offset: 1, color: 'white' }]
            };

            $('#jqChart').jqChart({
                title: 'Chart Title',
                legend: { title: 'Legend' },
                border: { strokeStyle: '#6ba851' },
                background: background,
                tooltips: { type: 'shared' },
                shadows: {
                    enabled: true
                },
                crosshairs: {
                    enabled: true,
                    hLine: false,
                    vLine: { strokeStyle: '#cc0a0c' }
                },
                axes: [
                        {
                            type: 'dateTime',
                            location: 'bottom',
                            zoomEnabled: true,
                            plotLines: []
                        }
                ],
                series: [
                            {
                                title: 'Series 1',
                                type: 'line',
                                data: data1,
                                markers: null
                            },
                            {
                                title: 'Series 2',
                                type: 'line',
                                data: data2,
                                markers: null
                            }
                ]
            });

            var selectedDate = null;

            $('#jqChart').bind('dataHighlighting', function (e, data) {
                if (data) {
                    selectedDate = data[0].x;
                }
                else {
                    selectedDate = null;
                }
            });

            $('#jqChart').bind('mousedown', function (e, data) {

                if (!selectedDate) {
                    return;
                }

                var axes = $('#jqChart').jqChart('option', 'axes');
                axes[0].plotLines.push({ value: selectedDate, strokeStyle: 'red' });


                $('#jqChart').jqChart('update');
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="jqChart" style="width: 500px; height: 350px;">

Great, thank you. I think, I can use that snippet for further improvements and build a "drawing-api" myself then.
