[ANNOUNCEMENT] Image_Graph-0.3.0dev2 (devel) Released.

The new PEAR package Image_Graph-0.3.0dev2 (devel) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- * Added functionality for multi-level labels (ticks, text, etc.) to support for minor and major labels (and more if needed) * Added fontmapping in GD drivers useful for mapping mnemonic fontnames, i.e. Times New Roman to font file names (either partial or full) * Added configuration option in Config.php (IMAGE_GRAPH_SYSTEM_FONT_PATH) enabling to specify default search path for system fonts - On Windows systems this defaults to %SYSTEMROOT%\Fonts\ * Added 'auto' split on layouts - calculated automatically based on actual sizes of the parts (supported only with titles) * Added visual tests - not PHPUnit, test cases: - Basic testing if requirements are met (GD + Freetype) - Testcases for testing drivers - Plot tests - Axis tests * Added support for setting width on the bars in a bar chart * Added setFontColor(), setFontSize(), setFontAngle() to elements for easy change of properties of propagating fonts, without needing to create a new object * Added new setTitle() method to axis to allow for easier displaying of axis titles * Added Image_Graph_Plot_CandleStick to display financial charts for the stock market * Added Image_Graph_Plot_Band * Added major tick customizability to axis * Added possibility to use user-defined values as axis-labels * Added support for adding an array to Image_Graph_Dataset_Trivial for easy point addition * Added some error/insanity checks * Added Image_Graph_Tool class with static function for bezier curve-smoothing for drivers without native support (fx. GD) * Added Image_Graph_Axis::setAxisIntersection() to specify a value for which the axis intersects another axis (i.e. Y-axis intersects X-axis in x=1 instead of x=0) * Implemented drivers to support different output formats - Currently full GD (JPEG/PNG/GIF/WBMP), SVG and PDF (PDFlib) support - Semi-supported drivers SWF (Ming) - Drivers planned SVG (XML_SVG), PDF (File_PDF) and SWF (libswf) - No BC breaking API changes - Currently no support for animations, i.e. SVG and SWF * Re-implemented support for line styles * Fonts now propagate through the structure, meaning if you set a font on the Graph all other elements inherit this font (but can be overridden) - This does *not* break BC * Modified Image_Graph_Axis_Radar to be a category axis * Modified Image_Graph_Dataset to allow for y-value to be an array of values (to support candlestick diagrams) * Changed pie chart legends, so they show all data values as legend except just one for complete chart * Changed logging behaviour (added Image_Graph::setLog() method) * Changed while-list-each to foreach for performance reasons (minor) * Changed Image_Graph_Title constructor slightly (second parameter, see Docs. for details) * Changed Image_Graph_Axis::setTitle() slightly to accomodate propagating fonts (no BC break) * Included some more aliases for the Image_Graph::factory() method * Updated how bar charts calculate width * Legends now scale properly * Legends now show differently depending on plot type * API Changes with minor impact on BC - Removed caching - Removed Image_Graph::saveAs(), functionality moved to Image_Graph_Driver::done() method - Removed Image_Graph::thumbnail() - Removed Image_Graph_Axis_Multidimensional, mainly for perfomance reasons - Image_Graph_Fill now inherits from Image_Graph_Common (instead of Image_Graph_Element) - Removed GLOBAL font variables * Fixed problems with Image_Graph_Axis_Radar showing values in wrong order * Fixed bug causing negative bars to display incorrecly (why o' why is 0 == 'some string'?) * Fixed bug causing setLineStyle() to fail * Fixed Bug #2684 "Source typo breaking data selectors" * Fixed Bug #2685 "Plots do not honor ID tags for fills" * Fixed bug #2791 "wrong x-axis label position when using ttf font" * Fixed bug causing displayErrors() to generate WARNING and FATAL ERROR * Fixed problems with gradient fills (did not display propery using GD drivers) * Fixed problem with bar-, area-, step- and impulse-charts when using forceMinimum(), causing bars to display 'below' x-axis * Fixed Image_Graph_Axis::force(Minimum|Maximum) * Removed default Image_Graph logo * Removed _graphWidth() and _graphHeight(), they are now handled by the driver Package Info ------------- This package helps you to easily create highly versatile graphs.
