memory leak in dojo charting

[guest]

Hi,

I want to implement a monitoring app using dojo charting

I have made a small prototype that updates a chart based on a timeout the app is constantly leaking memory.

pb reproduced with 0.4.2 rc2 on FF2.0 test case attached to the defect.

to reproduce, click on the 'live chart leak' button

You need the fix described in defect 2706 to make the application work

Thanks

Yann

btw feel free to add this test program to the tests delivered with dojo. I think it is actually simpler than the test delivered and useful to help understand the charting api

I have investigated. This fix in the Chart.render() function improves things (but it still leaks...)

if (this.node.firstChild){ this.node.replaceChild(node, this.node.firstChild);

area.render();

}else{

this.node.appendChild(node);

}

Closing this because the port of charting to DojoX includes a rewrite to base it on the DojoX GFX engine, so that no directly manipulation of nodes will be happening.
