[patch][ccla] Charting Animation for Zoom/Grow

[ruanqi]

FYI. this enhancement enable chart(area,lines,markers...) grow/zoom animation.

1.chart grows from the bottom when it render, set "animation" to turn it on. e.g.

chart.addPlot("default", {type: "Areas",animation:{duration:2000}}).render();

2.chart zooms by the scale&offset of axes, add a argument to turn it on. e.g.

chart.setWindow(scaleX, scaleY, offsetX, offsetY, {duration:1800}).render();

This patch also implements a "zoomIn" method in Chart2D, it supports chart zooming to a certain axis range. e.g.

chart.zoomIn("x",[50,80]);//chart zooms to 50-80 range on axis x

demo: test_axisZoomControl.html in the attachment.

I assume your submission is covered by CLA/CCLA (IBM?). If it is so, please add to the summary [CCLA] prefix.

BTW, the demo link is behind the firewall --- can't use it.

test_win2d.html in the attachment patch could took as a demo.

This patch clashes with #10898. Need to reconcile. :-(

Maybe we can apply one change first, then the other one can prepare a new fresh patch based on the new trunk as it then stands, elazutkin, what do you think?

I think we should apply this patch and then work out what to do with #10898.

Actually it clashes with the other massive patch in the pipeline. I'll see what I can do when it lands.

[Eugene Lazutkin]

[21836] has landed. All plots were updated, and I cannot apply many patches mechanically even if I wanted to do so. Fear not, I'll merge it manually. Of course, if you have time on hands, you can update the patch to the current trunk saving me some time. ;-)

[JayZ(zhouxiang)]

ok, I'll create a new patch based on the latest dojo trunk and ask adam to help me upload that patch, thank you.

(In [21862]) Animated zoom for the default plot from zhouxiang + tests, thx!, !strict, fixes #10856.

[Eugene Lazutkin]

Action items:

• Make sure that the animation enhancement API for the default plot matches the same API for the bar chart (or vice-versa). We cannot afford different APIs for the same functionality.
• We need to extend the animation to other plot types. The default plot is arguably the most involved one, the rest are much easier.

[JayZ(zhouxiang)]

Follow your action items, I make the animation works on bar chart and extend the animation to all the 2D plot types except for Pie chart. I've created a new patch for it and asked adam to upload it. Please check... thank you.

Thank you for the initiative. Bar/column chart already has this functionality and I wanted to make sure that the API is the same.

You should be able to attach patches yourself, if not, you can send them to me directly, so I can do it. Unless, of course, you have some additional reasons to go through Adam.

[JayZ(zhouxiang)]

Hi, elazutkin, IBM has a ossc process we should follow, we can not attach patches ourselves. Any code go outside should go through Adam.

Fair enough. Let's wait for Adam then.

test_win2d.html --- mouse dragging is broken in the test, should be calculated differently.
