Is there any built-in graphing API?

For example, to create a graph like the Yahoo! Stock widget.

I don't see it in the docs. Just want to be sure before I move on.

Thanks! smile.gif

    Thanks! :)The is no graphing API. You will want to create the image server side, and display it on the widget. The widgets are very limited in performance on the TV's, so try to do as much as possible on the server side.

  • Steve is exactly correct, you are dealing with a processor slower than many cell phones, so graphing and things like that need to happen server side. We fought this one internally to great length (I wrote the finance widget among others) and never found an acceptable solution other than doing it server side.
