Annotated Timeline feature request: Optional zoomer/scaler

[Helge Milde]

I've read through your documentations, but I haven't found any
references to an option that can remove the bottom zoom function. That
is the bottom part of the flash object (not the "Zoom: 1day 1week 1yr"
links).
Is there a possibility that this will be added in the future?

The reason I don't want it is because my project already handles this,
and I think the added scalability of an already scaled dataset is
confusing for our customers.

I think it would also be nice if one could tell the zoomer/scaler
which column to create the graph from; as far as I can see, it will
always use the last column (with the biggest index).

In addition - what about the Zoom @ the top of the chart? Is there a
way to get it to reflect the scale of the chart? If you only have a
weeks worth of data, I dont need the 1yr or 6m zoom - it doesnt do
anything.

As for removing the zoom at the bottom, I have not seen any documented
way either - what about a different chart? A simple line chart might
work (unless you need the annotations).

That 'zoom' graph at the bottom of the plot seems
to use a logarithmic y scaling. This *really* distorts the
type of data that I display.

Could we have the option of changing the vertical scaling to linear?

Also, just a preemptive comment. That plot at the bottom should be
generated using min/max decimation.

Cheers,

I totally agree with Cesium - as soon as you have data points with y-
value 0 the cumulative graph at the bottom becomes basically useless.
I made a screenshot of this strange behavior (with 0 values):

and the same without the 0 values: http://www.box.net/shared/ihkddvresi

or is this a bug?

Hi,

We have a feature request open for hiding the "scaler". We are on it, and will update once we have something ready.
Same goes for changing the data presented at this area.

As for controlling the zoom links at the top, it makes sense, but it is less trivial decision. Anyway - I see the problem and we will look into it.

thanks for the heads up!
Is the behavior on the screenshots I posted earlier normal or is this
a bug?

Considering that fact that today the 'scaler' line is a manipulation of the data in the last data series, it is ont a bug.
Again - I do see why in this case you will want to just hide the lower part of the chart, and as I said, this is a common request, and we are on it.
