Flot widget: New support for zoom and pan

[Dave Briccetti]

Hi all. As my first contribution to Lift, I’ve added support to the
Flot widget for Flot’s zoom and pan feature. (Here’s a picture of how
I’m using it in a production Lift app: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dcbriccetti/5490828593/
and you can try it out yourself here: http://talkingpuffin.org/tpuf/
.)

I created a review request: http://reviewboard.liftweb.net/r/597/ and
Peter Robinett raised some points that I thought we might discuss
here. If you’re interested, I invite you to address Peter’s issues, as
well as the issue of the very old latest Flot release 0.6 (0.7 is
supposed to be coming soon).

Thanks.

With the stuff you're adding, I need to find a place in my app to use this.

Nice.

Thanks for the report. They can go directly to me at
da...@davebsoft.com. It was a Twitter error (probably 502) that I
wasn’t handling, but now am.

[Peter Robinett]

Thanks, Dave. So far it looks like there are no objections. ;-)
