dojo and dojox

[Erwan de FERRIERES]

Hi all,

I'm planning on update the dojo version included in OFBiz, and also
adding dojox. This way, we could easily add charts in OFBiz, like
explained on this page :
http://www.dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/dojox/charting.html

So, before doing it, I would like to know if everyone is OK with it, and
if there are some points I need to look closely.

Cheers,

Erwan,

Are you going to get this update from their 1.4 release?  I would suggest
sticky with their official releases.  We use dojo a lot from their trunk but
its pretty unstable for general use.

For charts,
I remember Scott mentioned about some library that uses Prototype js lib. The chart library that Scott mentioned is also used by Icefaces. I am inclined towards using Prototype and prototype based tools.

Yes, I would take the dojo toolkit 1.4.2 release

For icefaces, the chart engine is jcharts
<http://jcharts.sourceforge.net/index.html>, and is full java, not ajax.
Maybe there is something else, but I didn't find it yet.

There is flotr for javascript charting which I "think" uses prototype.  But due to the integration with BIRT I would like to see a chart widget schema defined that uses BIRT as the rendering engine.  It's also possible that we could integrate BIRT with one of the javascript charting libraries to do something a bit more fancy for html than just generating images.

BTW I have never been a fan of having two javascript libraries in the code base, personally I think one of them should be removed altogether.

flotr is based on prototype 1.6+
http://code.google.com/p/flotr/

Here is what we can generate :
Histograms (vertical, horizontal, stacked bars)
Lines (filled or not)
Points (scatter plots)
Pie chart
Candle sticks (and barcharts)
Radar chart
Markers (positioned text)

Seems to me as a good candidate. What do you think ?
