What I would love to have:
The ability to set an option that renders lines with spline interpolation.

Thanks for a wonderful library!

For this to happen, someone has to consider the support in native canvas and in
Excanvas. I'll just mark it as an enhancement for the time being.

I extended flot for approximation curves. You can see it here -

nergal: Can you also post a diff/patch? That way it is easier to see what you 
have
changed. And example or screenshot would be great. :)

I guess this issue is not necessarily about splines, but rather about smoothing 
a
jagged line chart?

Yeah, that was my initial meaning, to smooth a curve. Splines is just one way 
to do
that :-)

Is this patch being considered for inclusion in the library? It would be a very 
nice
addition.

Sorry but can you reshare code on other hosting? Dumpz not responding now.

Would it be possible to have this integrated (or at least the diff file) with 
the current, 0.6 version?

Sorry for bad response time. It seems like solid work, but I think this needs 
to be done as a plugin rather than inline in the core.

Hi everyone,

I needed the smooth lines for a project at the university and therefore created 
a plugin containing nergal.dev s code and a additional feature to force the 
curves min/max to match the points.

@nergal
before adding the plugin to the plugin section I wanted to ask you if I can use 
your code. I think it should be ok because as far as I understand you posted it 
here for public use, but I would feel better if I get your permission first. 
Hope you are still active.

regards Michael

@nergal, michael

Hi guys,

I have just added the fill functionality to this plugin and am about to put it 
up on my website for public use.

Do you guys have any objections to that ?

Here is the link where it will be up shortly. Please email me at monemihir (at) 
gmail (dot) com and I will remove it from my page.

Nergal, I'm trying to use the curvedLines plugin and it errors out with 
pointsTop is null (see 
https://github.com/MichaelZinsmaier/CurvedLines/issues/9). Since the code is 
coming from here- any idea what might be wrong? I'm lost...
Thanks!

Hi @nergal, michael,

Thank you for this awesome plugin. My Client (who is a lot better at 
mathematics than me) has commented on the graph I have created using flot and 
curved lines:

"It looks like they’re using cubic interpolation which doesn’t preserve 
monotonicity between the points. Have a look at this image (from Wikipedia) 
which shows the difference between a cubic and monotone cubic interpolation - 
notice how the blue line doesn’t “overshoot” the next point on the 
Y-axis."

Can flot or curvedLines to a "monotone cubic interpolation"?

Cheers,

Ryano

thanks for the link, with the latest version hermite splines are the new 
default (-:
however the old implementation will be still accessible because it gives often 
also goodlooking results
