SVG-based custom control for piecharts #390

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
We've been custom controls so far using YUI widgets so this is a Story
related to doing piecharts based on SVG instead.  Browser support is
getting better and the actual SVG markup for piecharts seems to run already
on FF3 and Webkit.  This is based on testing using existing code from an
earlier US Tax form, 1040EZ, done by the IBM Emerging Technologies team.

The story here is to refactor that code and use it as the basis of a
Ubiquity custom control.  My initial thoughts are to expose this as a
repeat using the nodeset binding to determine the number and values of the
piechart "wedges".  Alternative bindings could be in select or select1
using either fixed or itemset children.

This story is in support of prototyping using Ubiquity under way in the
Backplane XG.  See

nario.html
for further background on the goals and scenario under discussion there.

Other thoughts?

Added new status 'InReview' so that we can see issues that are held up, but
through no fault of the coder. :)
