With pChart 1.27 it was possible to choose a .gif as a symbol for a series (example), will this be possible in 2.x? I've tried looking for it but I can't find anything about it in the documentation.

Support for this is already present in the core functions, only the rendering ones need to be finalized.

I'll add it to the todo of the next sub-release.

Are you using this function on your charts?

Kind regards,
JD.

Yes, I am using it. I have a chart which shows the current weather, it has both the measured outdoor temperature for the last 12 hours and the forcasted temperature for the coming 12 hours. I use the icons to show the forecasted weather.

A nice feature would be to set an icon for each point, at the moment I have to create 24 series and set the icon to each of them (since I don't know which will be the same). But it's not critical since I already have the code to do it this way.

Excellent example! I've made 3/4 of the implementation yet and I'll add a possibility to provide a pictures data serie that can be positionned easilly. This will avoid you (and the other person that would like to do the same) to create 24 fake series ;o)

Thank you very much for the idea!

This feature is now implemented for the drawPlotChart() and drawLegend() functions. (2.0.13)

-> will work on the other topic now!
