Comments on: A Wicket API for Google Charts

I would love to update the API, but I just don’t have time. The code is all in the wicket-stuff SVN though, so you’re perfectly free to make changes directly within the API itself (rather than separate additions). Amir Kibbar also has a fork of the project maintained on his site (see above in comments). Not sure if he’s done much with it other than add serialization, but it might be worth checking out.

Hi Daniel, do you have any plans for updating to the latest incarnation of the Google Charts? There are some nice new things with it, like google-o-meter and maps. I did a QAD addition on my own but felt that the overall architecture should be considered to keep code clean. Which I had no time to think more about.

The zip (as well as the wicket-stuff SVN) does contain the full example that I used for testing. To answer your question though, the chart isn’t “sent to be made”, the Chart component merely constructs an with the appropriate URL. Thus, Google handles all the details of making and caching the chart image.

Hey!
First of all nice work!
I am wondering, do you have a full example on how to use your code? I am not sure how I actually send the charts to be made. In your code above, there is this method add(Chart) which I am not sure where is located.

Anyhow, a full example would help

Thanks

Yeah Serialization would actually be a huge plus

Thanks for doing the patch, I just never got around to fixing it all myself.

Daniel,

I’ve checked out your code from the wicket-stuff project and added Serialization all over the place.

I’ve also created a patch that you can simply apply and commit – where can I send it?

thanks,
Amir

Ah, good point on the serialization thing! I’ll fix that in trunk/

Great work!

If it’s ok with you I’d like to use your “sample” code in my project: http://mareco.sourceforge.net/site/index.html

I had to fix just one thing – you did not make any of your classes Serializable, and wicket requires that everything in the pages be Serializable.

Thanks,
Amir

Sweet! Very nicely put together, it will fit perfectly with my little hobby project, displaying humidity and temperature graphs.
