Hi,

We are quite impressed with your product and we intend to use it in our application (just bought the license as i found out).

I would like to ask if updating only the data of a chart is possible. I searched through the examples but didn't find anything similar (maybe i missed something).

Currently we are interested in updating a radar chart in real-time, and performance is very important.
The chart we will use will probably have to be redrawn 3-4 times per second.
Our workaround so far is to redraw the whole chart, but i think that it's a pretty expensive operation to do so.
Could you give an example of updating only the data without having to redraw the whole chart?

Also I am concerned about how much memory will be used for such frequent updates.
We used an SVG library previously and it had a serious memory leak with firefox.
Should we be worried about this?

Thank you in advance


George

Hi,

Thanks for the good words.

Currently, you need to recreate/redraw the whole chart. We have plans that the chart can be modified with changing some setting (in your case the data), but for now you can just recreate the chart like in this sample:
http://www.jqchart.com/samples/RealTime/LiveData


That doesn’t mean the jqChart is slow. It uses the pure HTML5 Canvas rendering (in the browsers that support it) and it is really fast.

I’ve just tested our live chart sample with more frequent updates and the performance is really good, but it seems we also have some memory issues. We’re checking them and I’ll let you know when we find the cause for that.

Hi Dragan,

I just opened the live data sample and i can see firefox using-up memory as the chart redraws.
This is very important for us since it is the main reason we are dumping the SVG solution we integrated.

I just saw an email from one of the project leads and he advises on acquiring the "Developer License with Subscription and Priority Support".
Does this mean that we can also have some custom/beta versions that may address problems such as memory leaks?
Also, do we get access to the source code (unobfuscated)?

Hi,

We found the memory issue. It is because we are attaching some events multiple times. If you want I can send you a fixed version via email, so you can test it.

- Yes, this is exactly for what this license is developed. With this license we can send you unobfuscated source code as well.

We just finished testing and the fixed version works great.
There is a minor increase in memory but it gets freed quite quickly. Things are better in FF and Safari. Chrome eats up a little more RAM.

We are very satisfied with the chart's performance and the fix of the memory leak.
Thank you for the great support!
