A new version of the Google Visualization API was released to production on 11/26

[Thomas Rybka]

A new version of Google Charts was released on November 26.

Highlights:

• New chart types: histograms, intervals, and "diff charts", which highlight the differences between two datasets.

  

• All axis charts are now pannable and zoomable with the "explorer" option.
  
• Control the appearance of charts with the CSS-like "style" role.
  
• Bar labels are now customizable.
  
• The new DateRangeFilter lets your users change the date ranges of displayed data in real-time.
  
• Support for linebreaks in legends and tooltips.
  
• A new option, "dataOpacity", for fine-tuning the transparency of data points.
  
• Trendlines now handle arbitrary-degree polynomials and can display correlations.
  
• GeoCharts now support HTML tooltips, customizable marker styles, and more geocoding options.
  

Enjoy!

Awesome!  A couple things I've noticed:

Zooming in the explorer mode seems backwards (scroll up zooms out instead of in like other interfaces (see Google Maps))
Setting the explorer.zoomDelta option to a value less than 1 reverses the zoom direction, but once you zoom in one direction, you cannot zoom back the other direction.

Something has broke on this update. All CSS to our live sites is no longer pulled down by the JSAPI. So the tables were just raw with no styling. 

[Thiago]

This update has broken my barcharts. The width of the bars is now way more than the width of the chart, and thus gets cut off.

Errors from Google Spreadsheet Chart Publish Script tags

Thank you for your work. An existing page I built fails this morning following the update. 

I have a page with a series of chart visualizations (3): Gauge, Area, Bar. 

These are in an HTML page with inline script elements as published from Google Spreadsheets. 

The error is:

Uncaught ReferenceError: oT is not defined VM226:1

(anonymous function) VM226:1

google.loader.eval.visualization format+en,default+en.I.js:355

evalOrDefer corechart+en.js:1

(anonymous function)

To reproduce the error, publish a javascript Gauge chart from a spreadsheet and put the script element in the body of an HTML page. Then also publish an area chart and add it to the same page. 

The Gauge will load and display, but the subsequent chart will not. Error appears in the console (Chrome, OSX). 

I quickly refactored to use iframes to workaround the issue.

This is great news! 

I am using Geocharts extensively, and I didn't notice any problem with the new update.

Very happy that now HTML tooltips are available. 

I am curious about the 'customizable marker styles' that you mention. Is there any documentation or example about this?

Is this related to the new 'text' displayMode?

[asgallant]

Nick, Thiago

Please open new topics on this thread describing the issues you are having, including code that reproduces the problem.  I will work with you to figure out what needs to be done to fix them.

[Romain Vialard]

Great news!

The new DateRangeFilter works well (see example).

Would it be possible to update the documentation on Controls to see all options available for this filter ?

Hi Romain,

Good point.  I'll look into updating this documentation soon.

Jon

[Tiago Piccinin]

Amazing! Thank you.

I didn't find the options avaiable to use in 'Diff Chart'. Can you help me?

[Jon Orwant]

Hi Tiago,

A diff chart isn't a chart unto itself. There are diff scatter charts, diff bar charts, diff column charts, and diff pie charts.  The options for a diff scatter chart are just the options for a scatter chart; the options for a diff bar chart are just the options for a diff bar chart, and so on.

That's why I didn't include a section on options in the diff chart documentation, since the options depend on which type of diff chart you're creating.

I noticed a few things that should be cleaned up in theHistogram charts documentation:

1. continuous hAxis options are irrelevant to the Histogram charts and should be removed from the documentation, as histograms and continuous axes are incompatible.
2. the "Data Format" section's description for column 0 is incorrect: in a Histogram chart, it never is used for the domain axis values.  It should specify either a string type for data point labels or a number type for data point values.

Right you are. I've pushed new documentation live. It's not perfect; we still need to go meticulously through all the options to verify that they work. That'll take time, but I wanted to get a not-clearly-wrong version out ASAP.

Thanks for the prod!
