[Geoserver-users] Chart extension

[Peter S. <gs...@sm...>]

Hi all

I am looking for a GeoServer symbolizer to produce scaled pie charts.

When I search for Geoserver chart, the first result I get is
https://geoserver.geo-solutions.it/edu/en/pretty_maps/charting.html  It
refers to Eastwood Charts, which appears to be a project last touched 12
years ago.  Is this the code used by the official extension: Chart
Symbolizer
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/geoserver/files/GeoServer/2.16.2/extensions/geoserver-2.16.2-charts-plugin.zip>
or is it now included inside GeoServer? Is this extension actively
maintained?

Is this the preferred charting solution?  I see it referenced in a number
of SO answers.

The other thing that confuses me is that while this extension appears in
http://geoserver.org/release/stable/ , it is not listed at
https://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/extensions/index.html but that
list says that it is not exhaustive.

Andrea/GeoSolutions, would it be acceptable to add a link to the extensions
page above linking to your website, or would it be better to copy that
charting.html page into the GeoServer documentation? If so, I could do it
with your permission.

Thank you

Peter
