Had a very basic question. Which editor are you using??

Thanks Charlie for this update.
I am just pointing out that the scatter line feature is very important for those like" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.thinkosphere.com/poll/mcq_txt/show_time_results/19">like me interested in time series. To make it short it allows having a plot command such as plot(x,y) where x is NOT regularly spaced.

@TaSozzZ – I have an example for you, using a database – http://pullmonkey.com/2008/7/25/using-a-database-to-populate-an-open-flash-chart-graphhttp://pullmonkey.com/2008/7/25/using-a-database-to-populate-an-open-flash-chart-graph">http://pullmonkey.com/2008/7/25/using-a-database-to-populate-an-open-flash-chart-graph;. The only changes you need to make with the latest version of the plugins are:
1) include OpenFlashChart at the top of the controller
2) change OpenFlashChart.new to OpenFlashChart::Base.new

Hope that helps.

Hi —

I’m having problems installing the plugin — I had it working before, but I can’t seem to do it now. Using script/plugin install git://github.com/pullmonkey/open_flash_chart.git, it does not do an install, it just says "removing: C:/(path)/vendor/plugins/open_flash_chart/.git"

Not sure what the problem is. Plugin does not seem to be already installed.

Can anyone help me out?

Charlie, why is there this change that forces us to use "OpenFlashChart::Base.new" instead of "OpenFlashChart.new" ?
First, it is less pretty code. Then it forces to change all the calls to OpenFlashChart.

@Harry – You should actually just be able to say Chart.new(..) assuming you include OpenFlashChart. OpenFlashChart is a module now. Maybe the module should be OFC and we should keep the class as OpenFlashChart for backward compatibility.

@T – Try:
script/plugin install http://github.com/pullmonkey/open_flash_chart.git –force

With the http:// instead of git:// and put the –force at the end.

Charlie, OK I see the point. But yes I think you should indeed preserve the backward compatibility by making what you said. (Unless you want to rewrite all your examples on your blog 😉 )
