Open Flash Chart - building charts or a free solution of “Active graphics” in PHP + ActionScript3

An adjacent topic about pChart - pChart - pushed graphs and diagrams in PHP
Immediately I will describe for my part cons:

1) It is not active - not clickable
2) For some, as they say, “the design wants the best”
3) Less load on the server (the graph is built on the client side)
4) Since there is no indexing, the schedule is always in RealTime.

Cons ActionScript3 graphics:

1) You can not make a snapshot (roughly speaking the state of the schedule, 2-3-4 hours ago or to reduce the load on the server to make the import schedule in the image)

Here is an example of not “clickable” graphics on the example of pChart:

Here is an example of an open flash chart:

A vivid example is WMZ Wallet Indexing (for those who are interested in how it was implemented, it will be described if this topic is rolled up. I have almost 0-left in writing articles :))


So why the Open Flash Chart? After 3 hours of choosing a startup for my project, I could not close my dream and make a “Live schedule” or “Active schedule”, well, or a “clickable schedule”. After reviewing a couple of dozens of charting sites, even paid ones, I couldn’t find a suitable one at all - they’re all that or some kind of “dumb” or scary :) and work with them through (sorry) ass.
Here is my choice - Open Flash Chart
')
At this moment there is already a new Alpha version: Open Flash Chart 2

Create your schedule

1) Download the library itself and the swf file here.

2) Paste it into the html section of the tag




3) And this is our PHP script which will generate the graph itself.
include '../php-ofc-library/open-flash-chart.php';

// generate some random data
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);

$data_1 = array();
$data_2 = array();
$data_3 = array();
for( $i=0; $i<9; $i++ )
{
$data_1[] = rand(1,6);
$data_2[] = rand(7,13);
$data_3[] = rand(14,19);
}

$line_dot = new line_dot();
$line_dot->set_width( 4 );
$line_dot->set_colour( '#DFC329' );
$line_dot->set_dot_size( 5 );
$line_dot->set_values( $data_1 );

$line_hollow = new line_hollow();
$line_hollow->set_width( 1 );
$line_hollow->set_colour( '#6363AC' );
$line_hollow->set_dot_size( 5 );
$line_hollow->set_values( $data_2 );

$line = new line();
$line->set_width( 1 );
$line->set_colour( '#5E4725' );
$line->set_dot_size( 5 );
$line->set_values( $data_3 );

$y = new y_axis();
$y->set_range( 0, 20, 5 );

$chart = new open_flash_chart();
$chart->set_title( new title( 'Three lines example' ) );
$chart->set_y_axis( $y );
//
// here we add our data sets to the chart:
//
$chart->add_element( $line_dot );
$chart->add_element( $line_hollow );
$chart->add_element( $line );

echo $chart->toPrettyString();

4) But the data itself - which is transmitted to the schedule generated by us:
