Graph Control v. 0.1 alpha

This is my official release of the Graph Control suite which I am now developing on Google code here:

http://code.google.com/p/flex-graph-control/

What is the Flex Graph Control?

The Flex Graph Control aims to be the opposite of a charting framework. It is to be a small suite of classes and components designed to allow a user to select values along two axis.

How can I use it?

I’m designing the Flex Graph Control to allow you to easily build items like the following:

  • Numeric sliders
  • Date sliders
  • Equalizers
  • Multi-value selectors
  • Throttle controls
  • and more

The end goal is to provide developers with a suite of tools to allow them to specify things like minimum and maximum values, axis options including resolution and whether to snap to pixels, etc. and a suite to allow an infinite variation of custom layered renderers (background, tick-mark renderers, custom overlays, and drag-and-drop controls that automatically update the selected values in the base control).

What is in the Repo?

There are two projects checked into the repository. The first is the library swc for the graph control suite. The second is a Flex Builder 3 application demoing the latest in features (I am using this to test everything).

How do I use it?

At this point, the DateSlider control in the repo is an example of how to build on top of the core GraphControl object.
