How to add a new chart type

Question

Hi all, visiting the online Highcharts Demos and I have found a lot of interesting charts not included yet in Knowage. Do you have any plan to extend the charts list? Do you see a chance to add them programmatically extending the source code?

Answer 1

Dear Angelo

Yes we are going to add some new chart type's but actually we don't have a sharable road map. So, if you need a specific chart you can:

- Create a new contribution on GITHUB, we can share some line guide on how develop a new chart.

- We can develop a new chart using a professional support

Best regards

Angelo

Hi Frank
regarding how to contribute via GitHub, you should use pull requests mechanism: look for example at
https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/
Regarding how to add a new chart type, unfortunately we don't have public documentation that we can share with you, we'll try to provide some documentation asap.
Please keep in mind that we are now in the process of mavenizing the Knowage source code, therefore the source code structure will change deeply very soon (in 1-2 months).
