Mission: fix/replace PHP graphs

[David Veksler]

The PHP graphs here don't work very well:

http://mises.org/content/nofed/chart.aspx?series=TMS

It would be cool if someone fixed this OR

Replaced it with something awesome like this all-Javascript graphing library:

http://www.ajax.org/public/presentation/tae/presentation2.html#home

or the Google chart API:

http://code.google.com/apis/chart/

If we have a simple UI for generating graphs, we can write controls to reuse them on other parts of Mises.org

Hi Jay,

Thanks for your response.  We have a number of PHP projects to do - I
just need to write up the specs.

The main PHP bug we have is the TMS economic data charts - they are
not rendering quite right: http://mises.org/content/nofed/chart.aspx?series=TMS

First, I want to get our high-priority C# projects detailed out.

I should add that this chart is HUGELY in demand. Fixing this would be MASSIVE for Mises.org

the problem before had something to do with a timeout on the update function (I think but don't know that for sure)

Perhaps this might tickle your fancy?

In the end, the results should look like the blue chart from St. Louis Fed

OK, I'll look into the styling capabilities

Of course, there's always Silverlight. It could be styled in any
conceivable way and will be very dynamic.
