Hi, due to a licensing issue with Highcharts (which we started to use in 3.5.x), we have to think about replacing it with another library. Otherwise, distros like Debian won't accept 3.5.
We'll need: 1. ideas for a replacement library (GPL) 2. volunteers to do the switch (I am volunteer)
The goal is to do the replacement in 3.5.x, not 4.0.

From my quick search, jqPlot seemed as best solution:
Still I have no idea what all use cases we need to cover.

Please have a look at [0] to see my first steps with jqPlot, for query profiling.
By the way, I am looking for a solution about our CSS code duplication for products like CodeMirror (and now jqPlot).

Great, will check that during weekend.

You mean something like PMA_Theme->getCssCodeMirror()? Well it does not cover all CodeMirror CSS, but I think it could be the way. To share some of the CSS across themes.

The jqPlot author told me that jqPlot can do real-time plotting (like we need in Status) but there is no sliding animation.

Yes. On the other hand, it's difficult to predict when a custom theme designer would like to adapt some of this "common" CSS for this theme.

In this case the common part are only colors for syntax highlighting, which we want to have consistent with colors in PHP syntax highlighter.
For the other things this might be still the way to go - there is always option to override the changes further in CSS at the expense of slightly bigger CSS or not to use shared CSS in case the theme author wants to make substantial changes.

The default colours that jqplot uses are quite dull, perhaps we could use the tango palette[0] instead?

Good idea, I have implemented this palette. Currently it does not seem to be available from CSS but I did it without touching jqPlot itself.
I have asked the author whether defaultColors are definable via CSS.

Incidentally, I'm working on this already. As part of my GCoC project I will have to change a few thing in the way the CSS files are managed and my solution will fix all CSS duplication. So you need not worry about this. I expect to finish this in a few days :)
Bye, Rouslan
Still I have no idea what all use cases we need to cover.
Quite some, I think. I just checked the code, here's what I found:
Most critical: - Live update feature of chart data. I didn't see any such feature on the jqplot examples page. (see main loop for refreshing charts in the monitor: http://bit.ly/JthtMk) - Chart value transformation callback that supplies the current and last value to be displayed. This is needed e.g. for CPU-Linux usage (see http://bit.ly/MCWSos)
Non critical use cases (lack of these would cut down on features but leave the charts usable, though some reprogramming might be required): - Select/Zoom feature with callback - Tooltips - Live changing of settings such as titles, refresh rates, labels, x-axis-extremes - SVG/PNG or Canvas export - A .destroy() method so that charts can be loaded and destroyed on demand
Thats all I can think of currently.

Hi Tyron, we are removing Highcharts in 3.5.x; the plan is to finish for 3.5.2, keeping the same feature set as 3.5.1, although I seem to be alone in this adventure.
Currently, our best bet is jqplot. Have a look at this tree to see what I've done so far, for - query profiling - zoom search https://github.com/lem9/phpmyadmin/commits/QA_3_5-jqplot
As I said on this list, the jqplot author said that we can do real-time plotting, but without the sliding animation. I guess we'll have to be content with this.
