Thank you for adding the new Horizontal Bar plot type. It is working well for
me, and I plan to use it in my application. I hope that you decide to keep
this new plot type, as it provides me with:
a) a greater variety of graphs in my multi-graph dashboard.
b) more flexibility in displaying graphs with many bars, as there is more room
to expand down the page rather than across it.
However, if you have a chance to work on it, I would love to display the y
data label at the end of each bar.
Thanks
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Data Value Labels are already implemented for horizontal bars, although not
yet released. This went into CVS on 2010-07-26. Note that these actually show
the X values, not the Y values, for horizontal bar charts (because X is the
dependent variable).
Also we now have Horizontal Stacked Bars, with data value labels. This went
into CVS yesterday.
Although both types of horizontal bar plots are still 'experimental', it seems
pretty clear that these features will stay in and not change. The biggest task
now will be updating the reference manual, because currently they are only
documented in a text file.
Both types of horizontal bar plots, with data value labels, as well as the new
customizable data colors, will be in the next PHPlot release. I'm not sure
when that will be, but I'm thinking of doing it soon because I don't really
have anything pending that is close to being ready.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Click on the filename 'phplot.php', then click on the download link for the
latest version. For horizontal bars, you should also get HorizontalBars.txt .
I also update ChangeLog, but README and NEWS do not get updated until before a
release.
You don't have to set up a CVS work area just to try out the latest version.

Tested the Data Value Labels on one of my horizontal bar plots, and it's
working well (as expected). Thanks again!

I should have mentioned for anyone who wants to try a CVS version, you can
just browse over to the CVS area here: http://phplot.cvs.sourceforge.net/view
