Code using dual axes should be changed from +using x2axis/y2axis in the options to using an array (although +backwards-compatibility hooks are in place). For instance, + + { + xaxis: { ... }, x2axis: { ... }, + yaxis: { ... }, y2axis: { ... } + } + +becomes + + { + xaxes: [ { ... }, { ... } ], + yaxes: [ { ... }, { ... } ] + } + +Note that if you're just using one axis, continue to use the +xaxis/yaxis directly (it now sets the default settings for the +arrays). Plugins touching the axes must be ported to take the extra +axes into account, check the source to see some examples. + +A related change is that the visibility of axes is now auto-detected. +So if you were relying on an axis to show up even without any data in +the chart, you now need to set the axis "show" option explicitly. + +"tickColor" on the grid options is now deprecated in favour of a +corresponding option on the axes, so { grid: { tickColor: "#000" }} +becomes { xaxis: { tickColor: "#000"}, yaxis: { tickColor: "#000"} }, +but if you just configure a base color Flot will now autogenerate a +tick color by adding transparency. Backwards-compatibility hooks are +in place. + +Final note: now that IE 9 is coming out with canvas support, you may +want to adapt the excanvas include to skip loading it in IE 9 (the +examples have been adapted thanks to Ryley Breiddal). An alternative +to excanvas using Flash has also surfaced, if your graphs are slow in +IE, you may want to give it a spin: + + http://code.google.com/p/flashcanvas/ + + +Changes: + +- Support for specifying a bottom for each point for line charts when + filling them, this means that an arbitrary bottom can be used + instead of just the x axis (based on patches patiently provided by + Roman V. Prikhodchenko). +- New fillbetween plugin that can compute a bottom for a series from + another series, useful for filling areas between lines (see new + example percentiles.html for a use case). +- More predictable handling of gaps for the stacking plugin, now all + undefined ranges are skipped. +- Stacking plugin can stack horizontal bar charts. +- Navigate plugin now redraws the plot while panning instead of only + after the fact (can be disabled by setting the pan.frameRate option + to null), raised by lastthemy (issue 235). +- Date formatter now accepts %0m and %0d to get a zero-padded month or + day (issue raised by Maximillian Dornseif). +- Revamped internals to support an unlimited number of axes, not just + dual (sponsored by Flight Data Services, + www.flightdataservices.com). +- New setting on axes, "tickLength", to control the size of ticks or + turn them off without turning off the labels. +- Axis labels are now put in container divs with classes, for instance + labels in the x axes can be reached via ".xAxis .tickLabel". +- Support for setting the color of an axis (sponsored by Flight Data + Services, www.flightdataservices.com). +- Tick color is now auto-generated as the base color with some + transparency (unless you override it). +- Support for aligning ticks in the axes with "alignTicksWithAxis" to + ensure that they appear next to each other rather than in between, + at the expense of possibly awkward tick steps (sponsored by Flight + Data Services, www.flightdataservices.com). +- Support for customizing the point type through a callback when + plotting points and new symbol plugin with some predefined point + types (sponsored by Utility Data Corporation). +- Resize plugin for automatically redrawing when the placeholder + changes size, e.g. on window resizes (sponsored by Novus Partners). + A resize() method has been added to plot object facilitate this. +- Support Infinity/-Infinity for plotting asymptotes by hacking it + into +/-Number.MAX_VALUE (reported by rabaea.mircea). +- Support for restricting navigate plugin to not pan/zoom an axis (based + on patch by kkaefer). +- Support for providing the drag cursor for the navigate plugin as an + option (based on patch by Kelly T. Moore). +- Options for controlling whether an axis is shown or not (suggestion + by Timo Tuominen) and whether to reserve space for it even if it + isn't shown. +- New attribute $.plot.version with the Flot version as a string. +- The version comment is now included in the minified jquery.flot.min.js. +- New options.grid.minBorderMargin for adjusting the minimum margin + provided around the border (based on patch by corani, issue 188). +- Refactor replot behaviour so Flot tries to reuse the existing + canvas, adding shutdown() methods to the plot (based on patch by + Ryley Breiddal, issue 269). This prevents a memory leak in Chrome + and hopefully makes replotting faster for those who are using $.plot + instead of .setData()/.draw(). Also update jQuery to 1.5.1 to + prevent IE leaks fixed in jQuery. +- New real-time line chart example. + +- New hooks: drawSeries, shutdown + +Bug fixes: + +- Fixed problem with findNearbyItem and bars on top of each other + (reported by ragingchikn, issue 242). +- Fixed problem with ticks and the border (based on patch from + ultimatehustler69, issue 236). +- Fixed problem with plugins adding options to the series objects. +- Fixed a problem introduced in 0.6 with specifying a gradient with { + brightness: x, opacity: y }. +- Don't use $.browser.msie, check for getContext on the created canvas + element instead and try to use excanvas if it's not found (fixes IE + 9 compatibility). +- highlight(s, index) was looking up the point in the original s.data + instead of in the computed datapoints array, which breaks with + plugins that modify the datapoints (such as the stacking plugin). + Issue 316 reported by curlypaul924. +- More robust handling of axis from data passed in from getData() + (problem reported by Morgan). +- Fixed problem with turning off bar outline (issue 253, fix by Jordi + Castells). +- Check the selection passed into setSelection in the selection + plugin, to guard against errors when synchronizing plots (fix by Lau + Bech Lauritzen). +- Fix bug in crosshair code with mouseout resetting the crosshair even + if it is locked (fix by Lau Bech Lauritzen and Banko Adam). +- Fix bug with points plotting using line width from lines rather than + points. +- Fix bug with passing non-array 0 data (for plugins that don't expect + arrays, patch by vpapp1). +- Fix errors in JSON in examples so they work with jQuery 1.4.2 + (fix reported by honestbleeps, issue 357). +- Fix bug with tooltip in interacting.html, this makes the tooltip + much smoother (fix by bdkahn). Fix related bug inside highlighting + handler in Flot. +- Use closure trick to make inline colorhelpers plugin respect + jQuery.noConflict(true), renaming the global jQuery object (reported + by Nick Stielau). +- Listen for mouseleave events and fire a plothover event with empty + item when it occurs to drop highlights when the mouse leaves the + plot (reported by by outspirit). +- Fix bug with using aboveData with a background (reported by + amitayd). +- Fix possible excanvas leak (report and suggested fix by tom9729). +- Fix bug with backwards compatibility for shadowSize = 0 (report and + suggested fix by aspinak). +- Adapt examples to skip loading excanvas (fix by Ryley Breiddal). +- Fix bug that prevent a simple f(x) = -x transform from working + correctly (fix by Mike, issue 263). +- Fix bug in restoring cursor in navigate plugin (reported by Matteo + Gattanini, issue 395). +- Fix bug in picking items when transform/inverseTransform is in use + (reported by Ofri Raviv, and patches and analysis by Jan and Tom + Paton, issue 334 and 467). +- Fix problem with unaligned ticks and hover/click events caused by + padding on the placeholder by hardcoding the placeholder padding to + 0 (reported by adityadineshsaxena, Matt Sommer, Daniel Atos and some + other people, issue 301). +- Update colorhelpers plugin to avoid dying when trying to parse an + invalid string (reported by cadavor, issue 483). + + Flot 0.6 -------- @@ -7,7 +175,7 @@ API changes: passing selection: { mode: something }, you MUST include the file jquery.flot.selection.js after jquery.flot.js.
