Cascades Development

[joelajean]

Hi,

I'm looking @ implementing a simple line chart into my cascade app...

https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/linechart

Since google offers an extensive charting API, I was thinking that I could easily use the google charting api's but before moving ahead, I figured I would check with the  dev community for feedback.

From cascade, are other alternative to generate such a chart ? Is there a sample out there which demos charting capablities ?

Thanks

I know you put yours in first.

I wanted the ability to do basic drawing to, just 2D stuff. It seems there is no way to do it in Cascade as none of the classes expose the paint() method.  I thought of doing this in OpenGLES but then became aware that OpenGLES can't do text.  Perhaps one can overlay text in a cascade widget, but that seemd like a lot of work.  The only other viable solution I came across was to use a HTML widget. 

I just gave up for now, and hope the Cascades people provide a 2D drawing solution in the near future.

Hummm... ok so native charting is probably not an easy solution, any 3rd party recommendations ??? What about google charting API's !!! Anybody has played with it via Cascade ?

I've been thinking and searching about the same thing and stumbled on this: http://www.workslikeclockwork.com/index.php/components/qt-plotting-widget/ as-is it obviously won't work with Cascades as it is a Qt widget. But I would think that you could rip out the chart drawing and draw a suitable image that you then can display in Cascades.
