14th August RGraph release

Todays changes include:
- Added chart.tooltips.coords.adjust to the Bar chart which allows you to adjust tooltip coordinates (when you translate for example)
- HBar shadow is now "unified", so you can have an upwards shadow with a large offset and it still looks OK
- The HBar "chart.labels.abovebar" labels are now left aligned if they would go off the end of the canvas
- Fixed a bug with the HBar chart.strokecolor - renamed to chart.strokestyle
- Added chart.tooltips.coords.adjust to the line chart (for when you translate for example)
- Tweaked filled/stepped line charts - stepped line charts show trailing line again
- Tickmarks, as well as a string, can now also be an array of different tickmark styles
- Added chart.ylabels.invert to the Line chart
- You can now specify in-graph labels like this: line.Set('chart.labels.ingraph', [6,'July', 3, 'November']); If you have a lot of empty spaces, this will help.
- Added type property to common objects
- Improved the appearance of the Odometer border
- Scatter chart tickmarks are no longer drawn when the ticks are boxplots
- Scatter chart boxplots are now usable when the X axis is in the center
- Added chart.xmin to the Scatter chart (upgrade cautiously)
- Chrome 6 appears to have an issue with canvas shadows. Other browsers are fine. A workaround has been added to the Line chart library, however it won't be a solution for all cases. In these cases, simply turn off shadow blurring.

31st July stable RGraph release

Today marks the start of more frequent, monthly, stable releases, which will mean a quicker turn-around for new features. This release includes the following notable updates:
- You can see a few screenshots of RGraph in MSIE9 here.
- Added "snap" tooltip effect for graphs where the tooltips are triggered using the onmousemove event
- Added custom event support. There's just a small number of events at the moment, the most useful of which perhaps is the ontooltip event. This makes showing graphs in tooltips much easier than it previously was.

A canvas "Please wait..."

Haven't you seen this before? If not you should stay in more. Or something like that. This, it seems, is a common "Please wait..." component for Flash, and now here it is in a <canvas> version. It's quite simple to use, simply call the function:
<script src="PleaseWait.js"></script>
<script>
PleaseWait(id);
</script>
The library is here:
Bear in mind that you may need to clear the canvas before and/or after using it. You can do this by setting
the width or height to itself. Eg:
document.getElementById("myCanvas").width = document.getElementById("myCanvas").width;
