The Google Chart Tools team has pushed a new release candidate: November 22, 2011

[Erez Bixon]

We have pushed a new release candidate (RC).
This RC introduces many new features and some bug fixes. 
Take a look at some examples here.

Candidate release date: November 22, 2011

Anticipated production release date: December 7, 2011

New features:

1. Transition Animation.
2. Line and Area charts now support Annotations.
3. Most axis charts now support visualization of out-of-scope, certainty level, emphasis and intervals on data points.
4. Axis and pie charts: revise our visual effects on hovering and selection of data points / series.
5. Geo chart: add maps for US provinces and metros, improve visualization of disputed areas.

If your system uses the Visualization API for commercial and / or important production purposes we recommend you test the RC and use the opportunity to provide feedback to us prior to the production release.
If there are any issues, these can be communicated back to our team by replying to this message. 

Enjoy,
The Google Chart Tools team

Can we set the color for out-of-scope data points when using the 'scope' role?  Also, can we combine different effects (say, use certainty and emphasis on the same set of data)?

[EZChart]

• The effect of out-of-scope is graying out the data point/bar/line. It is currently not configurable. Note that the brightness of the gray differs according to the original color of each series.
• You can combine any number of effects. We made sure that the different visualizations will not clash.

Very exciting features indeed. Good work, guys!

I have a question regarding using the out-of-scope together with Area
charts. Currently, it grays out only the line, but not the underlying
area and as a consequence is not as distinctive as for the other
visualizations. Is it possible to gray out the area also?

Could someone point me to the docsumentation for this RC and possibly
some working examples of the new features.

Sorry I just could not find either of these.

docs do not exist (as far as i know)

as for samples you can check here: http://savedbythegoog.appspot.com/

[EZChart]

Kosio, currently we do not support the graying out of the area.

Allomorphy, docs are planned to be available on December 7th, when the official release is pushed.

Nothing on the annotated timeline. *sob*

[Allomorphy]

Hi Chart team

Thank you very much for annotations.

I understand that the design planning was to have a single
character for the annotation and then with mouseover a
longer description from annotationText.

I like to have the longer description always appearing.
One reason is that when you make a hardcopy of the graph
this is visible.

So please consider the possibility to auto align vertically
these lovely little annotations so that they do not overwrite
if there is one adjacent or let us do this with a configurations
setting.

Thank you again for this addition and in general for this superlative work.

[Roni Biran]

The length of the annotation is not a single character annotation. You can write whatever you like. It only look better that way. And for that reason you have the description when hovering over it.

If you want, you can use the vertical line annotation to emphasize your points in the chart.

Nonni - the release candidate features annotations on Line and Area charts, as well as defining a continuous date axis, and an option for comparing different series in the tooltip.

What is it in the AnnotatedTimeline that you are particularly interested in?

[McCGJ]

I have downloaded RCs from the following link in the past.http://
code.google.com/p/gwt-google-apis/downloads/list
I haven't seen a file there for the RC mentioned in this thread -
*Candidate release date*: November 22, 2011
The last file there is gwt-visualization-1.1.2.zip. dated Oct 27th.

How can I get this RC to run some tests with.
The new features look great. Can't wait to check it out.

Best,Owen

Hi there,

The site you posted is the GWT API download site, whereas here the RC stands for the Visualization API. This API cannot be downloaded but to be used online only.

In order to run the RC version, just state that the version used is 1.1 instead of 1 in your code.

Here is the gallery link: http://code.google.com/apis/chart/interactive/docs/gallery.html

Or just view the source code of the demo page: http://savedbythegoog.appspot.com/?id=95a33bec3bbe0e88f1f38d86855cf0af3c9157e0

Best of luck,

[McCGJ]

Roni,

Thanks for pointing that out.

I been using the MVP framework and the java client interface coding in
eclipse.

In my EntryPoint class I use the following call.

VisualizationUtils.loadVisualizationApi ("1.1", onLoadCallback,
CoreChart.PACKAGE, AnnotatedTimeLine.PACKAGE,
IntensityMap.PACKAGE, MapVisualization.PACKAGE);

This call uses the following import in my .java file.

import com.google.gwt.visualization.client.VisualizationUtils;

I needed to include gwt-visualization.jar file in my project to build
the client and server portions of my application which was downloaded
from the tools site as you mentioned.

If I understand you correctly, if I use the "1.1" call in the load,
then even though I use the gwt-visualization.jar from 1.1.2 that I
download on Oct 27th, the latest Release Candidate javascript included
in the crosscompiled code for the client side is downloaded from
google. Which is quite cool.

I wonder because I am using java-style programming techniques, MVP,
etc, if I need to wait for the official release to download into my
eclipse project.

Best Regards,
Owen

Hi Google team,

Is there a way to control or disable the rendering of the disputed areas in Geocharts?

These black or shaded spots really prevent the map from being as pretty as it could be.

All the best.

Niall.

[Sergey Grabkovsky]

Unfortunately, today there is no way to change or disable the rendering of the disputed areas.

Hi,

Just wondering if there's any update on this?

I would like to render the disputed areas differently to the current cross-hatch if possible?

Is there a javascript workaround?

All the best.

Niall.
