PVE Charts

[Jason Murray]

So, I am not sure if I am the only one who thinks this, but the charts on the Web ui are a little antiquated and require the host to render images continuously, even when they are never viewed. There are several Javascript libraries (specifically Google Charts) that render attractive charts from raw data on the client side.

I am not trying to say that building the charts is overly taxing on the host, but rather that it seems a bit of a waste, and like it could be done better.

I am willing to do the legwork and write the code, but I don't know if it is some the community would be interested in, and if it would be worth the investment.

I look forward to hearing what you guys have to say, and thanks in advance for your feedback.

The plan is to use the chart lib from ExtJS. Unfortunately it is a bit unstable in ExtJS4, so we need to wait until we switch to ExtJS6.

Is there a plan on when the switch to ExtJS6 will occur? What is the best way to contribute to the project?

Thank you for that information Dietmar! Doesn't surprise me you guys are already on top of this

After 4.0 release

What is the best way to contribute to the project?

The API already has all required functions, so anybody can implement an extJS6 prototype generating nice charts ;-)
