A new version of the Google Visualization API was released to production on February 22, 2012

[Jinji]

We have pushed a new release to production. 

Some of the most interesting features:: 

• Added gradient color mode to bubble chart.
• Geo chart:
  • Region interactivity in marker mode is now disabled by default. How to keep the old behavior? Set the enableRegionInteractivity option to true.
  • Markers are now opaque by default. How to keep the old behavior? Set the markerOpacity option to 0.5.
  • Marker size is now between 3 and 12 pixels by default. How to keep the old behavior? Set the sizeAxis option to {minSize: 2, maxSize: 30}.
  • A magnifying glass is now opened when the user hovers over cluttered markers (excluding IE<=8). How to keep the old behavior? Set the magnifyingGlass option to {enable: false}.
  • We don't stretch the maps by default anymore, but rather keep the original aspect ratio. How to keep the old behavior? Set the keepAspectRatio option to false.
• A new control - ChartRangeFilter.
• A new experimental option forceIFrame whose default is true (the current behavior), but can be set to false. When set to false, corechart charts, geo chart, treemap and gauge will not render the chart in a iframe (for all browsers excluding IE<=8). This is still very experimental, and undocumented. We would like you to try it out and give us your input!

Oooooooh...I like the ChartRangeFilter control.  I'll build some test cases with the forceIFrame option later and get back to you on it, but as a chart hacker, I like the idea.  Awesome job guys.

Hi,


I'm having a problem with this new release, my org charts don't work
anymore ! Is there a way to continue using older versions instead of
the latest ?

Unfortunately there is no such option at the moment.

Can you narrow down what doesn't work for you in the new release? If possible, create the simplest example which reproduces the issue you are facing.

Viz Kid,

Is it possible for the  road map to include the ability to version releases?  That way we can have time to test and regression new changes introduce while production environments aren't impacted.

Thanks,

Yolanda

Thanks for the suggestion Yolanda,

We are examining  whether we can address the challenge of providing multiple version releases in the coming months - stay tuned.

Hi,

I just had the same problem, while using org charts with gwt. In my
case it was necesary to make sure my charts where added to the
document before anything else. Hope it works for you.

I second this, my organization charts also stopped working. I have the
charts integrated with a dynamic RichFaces enabled JSF page.

The only way (without spending a lot of time to investigate) I got the
charts working was to put them on a separate stripped down page with
no additional javascript going on in the back ground.

I'm new to the group here, are there emails that go out stating an
update will be taking place?

Thanks,

Tom

If you'll provide a simple working example that reproduces the problem, we can investigate.

Yes, such announcements are sent both to this group and to the announcements group.
