Support to Load External Data

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I couldn't find a feature to export data usnig text or xml files.

I think this feature is must for a charting engine

Exporting data is only important in a reporting context.  Flot's purpose is to 
draw individual plots, and so it doesn't make sense to include this feature in 
the core library.

Flot provides plug-in hooks, as well as a public function, to retrieve the 
plot's data.  You can use these to implement export as either a plug-in or in 
your own code.

I realized that I probably mis-read your comment; you're talking about 
importing data for use in a plot, not exporting it.

In this case, I can better understand your request, but that functionality is 
still separate from the plot itself, and belongs in either a plug-in or 
external code that loads the data as text/xml and transforms it into a 
JavaScript object.
