test and support Rickshaw [multi renderer](https://github.com/shutterstock/rickshaw/pull/71)

[timelyportfolio]

In Rickshaw request 71 https://github.com/shutterstock/rickshaw/pull/71 , they have added support for a multi renderer to support things such as a chart with stack, scatterplot, and bat as shown with the example provided. renderer is specified within the series object rather than at one higher level, so

old way

var graph = new Rickshaw.Graph( {
    element: document.getElementById("chart"),
    width: 960,
    height: 500,
    renderer: 'line',
    series: [
        {
            color: "#c05020",
            data: seriesData[0],
            name: 'New York'
        }, {
            color: "#30c020",
            data: seriesData[1],
            name: 'London'
        }, {
            color: "#6060c0",
            data: seriesData[2],
            name: 'Tokyo'
        }
    ]
} );

new way for multi

var graph = new Rickshaw.Graph( {
    element: document.getElementById("chart"),
    renderer: 'multi',
    width: 900,
    height: 500,
    dotSize: 2,
    series: [
        {
            name: 'temperature',
            data: seriesData.shift(),
            color: 'rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.4)',
            renderer: 'stack'
        }, {
            name: 'heat index',
            data: seriesData.shift(),
            color: 'rgba(255, 127, 0, 0.4)',
            renderer: 'stack'
        }, {
            name: 'dewpoint',
            data: seriesData.shift(),
            color: 'rgba(127, 0, 0, 0.3)',
            renderer: 'scatterplot'
        } ...

This is neat. It should be fairly easy to implement this, as it is similar to a layered approach followed in other libraries.

Has there been any progress towards implementing this?

[ramnathv]

No. We have been working towards documenting existing functionality in rCharts and cleaning up some of the core functions. We will start focusing of feature enhancements once we have things in place.

If you need this feature ASAP, I can give you some pointers on how to go about customizing the default Rickshaw layout to achieve what you want.

That's understandable. Any pointers or suggestions you could provide to get me started would be great.
