Anyone gotten Highcharts to work?

[Mike]

Has anyone gotten Highcharts to work with Hobo?  I think it is running into conflicts with Hobo's prototype usage and custom jquery implementation....

It seems to be well regarded for charting - see http://railscasts.com/episodes/223-charts

I installed Hobo's JQuery, and changed the examples away from the $...still no luck.

See more details:

http://www.highcharts.com/documentation/how-to-use 

Thanks,

Mike

I have it working in an app.

It was some time ago - between 6 mos and a year.

I don't remember all the steps, but I know it is possible.

I do remember I started with lazy-highcharts for installation help, but I don't use lazy's data formatter - I built that manually.

I am planning to do it again in the next couple of weeks. I will write up my steps and post them.

OK, I have done this again. I am sure there are many ways to improve this, especially my hacky way of building the JSON data string, but this is what I did, and it works:

1. Download Highcharts, unzip, and move highcharts.js into public/javascripts

2. Download jquery-1.7.2.min.js into publc/javascripts

3. In the page where the graph will appear, include the two scripts by inserting these lines at the top of the DRYML file:

<append-scripts:>

<javascript name="jquery-1.7.2.min.js"/>

<javascript name="highcharts.js"/>

</append-scripts:>

4. Build a tag for the graph. Here's sample graph with dummy literal data:

If you call this tag on the page where the scripts are included, a pie chart should appear. 

5. Here is a more complicated sample drawing from real data. 

a. First the tag definition:

b. The method that builds the data series. This is a pretty complicated example, but I hope it gets the idea across.

Hope that helps someone. I will do my best to answer questions.

Thanks much for sharing this with everyone!
