I'm thinking of creating a new component responsible for generating the
actual chart as PNG image which to replace the ChartPlugin. It would be
similar to the old plugin but it will not use the ChartParams class for
passing the parameters. I'm thinking of placing it platform/core and
calling it XWiki-Chart.
Jerome also suggests using this new component for the old radeox chart
macro.
Please let me know what you think about these issues.

Hi guys,
In order to implement the chart macro
(http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2883) , i propose the following:
- Create a new TableBlockDataSource which implements the
com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.charts.source.DataSource and which will take data
from a table contained within a Wiki2.0 document.
- Use the existing ChartPlugin for aquiring this new data source and
generate the graph.
IMO macro should not use old api/plugins, if a chart component is
needed that the chart macro would used we should create it. In a
general manner I are trying to never use anything from pmd xxwiki-core
in component but translate and redesign useful xwiki-core code into
new components (like observationmanager, the rendering it self, etc.).
This new
datasource, in order to be compatible with the chartPlugin,
gets its parameters via a Map<String, String>. So I'm thinking of
passing the current document and the table number as strings encoded in
such a Map and then, in the datasource parsing the document and getting
its DOM tree and then extracting the data from it.
What do you think about this approach?
Tnx,
Dan
