***************************************************** * EASTWOOD CHART SERVLET: Version 1.1.0~fluidware * ***************************************************** This version of Eastwood charts has been modified to run as a dedicated http server using jetty 6.1.24 from the org.mortbay.jetty package. A few rendering issues have been fixed, and some small features such as high resolution exports in svg/jpeg format have been added. This is not tested in any environment outside of an open http server run by Fluidware on some of its servers in order to provide an interface similar to the old Google Charts API.

LIMITATIONS --------------- Eastwood has the following limitations: - Maps are not implemented; - radar charts are not implemented; - Venn diagrams are not implemented; - the Google-o-meter chart is not implemented; - QR codes are not implemented; - the 'chbh' attribute is ignored, and bar widths are automatically calculated to fit the available space (this is actually easier than trying to figure out the right values for the 'chbh' attribute, which looks like a bit of a kludge to me); - stripe fills are not yet supported; - area fills are not yet supported; - chart markers are not fully supported yet. If there are other items that you think should be listed here, please post a bug report. Dave Gilbert (david.gilbert@object-refinery.com) Eastwood Project Leader
