I have made changes adding the JavaScript charting library Flotr2 as an alternative to Google Charts. I think it is a much better alternative when you are using it in a corporate environment with no need for external calls. Toggle between Google Charts and Flotr2 in the gitblit.properties file: web.chartType = flotr2 or web.chartType = google. The default is google.

This is a somewhat frequent request so thanks for tackling it. It looks like the activity graphs are not working properly. If we can get those working properly, then I'll be more interested in merging.

Which one of activity graphs aren't working? Which page?

That looks much better. With all the graphing lib choices, why flotr2? I have nothing against it, just never heard of it.

@DooZel Here is what I'd like to do, if you are willing...

  1. tweak the activity graphs to use the colors of the original graphs - those are the Gitblit colors - the dark navy blue & the orange.
  2. I'd like to see x-axis labels so I don't have to mouse-hover over points - although I do like that feature. If this becomes a layout or size problem, we'll skip it.
  3. Add % to the pie chart labels, as an engineer unit-less numbers make me cringe. :)
  4. Dump all the GoogleChart code, including your new setting. I don't see a reason to continue offering GoogleCharts with a working, self-hosted charting solution that is faster and substantially equivalent.
  5. Is there a way to specify an onclick handler for the pie charts? I've long had this idea to jump to the repo summary page from a pie chart click. We'll skip it if can't be done or if it requires ugly hacks.

Only because I have used it before and I think it works well.

The x-axis labels were painful, that is why I excluded them. 1, 3 & 4 I
can do, I will also look at how to do the click event.

I have made the changes below (1, 3, 4 & 5), I could add a click event
to the repository pie charts. I couldn't do it for the author as you
need to also specify a repository name for the search to work.

This looks great! I have a few more tweaks I'd like before merging.

  1. Move the new resources into a flotr or flotr2 dir
  2. The old graph didn't show a blue circle for every data point. Those blue circles actually represent tags so there should two series, I suppose. The normal points (orange line) and the tag points (discrete blue dots). The tag points are determined by metric.tag > 0. I don't have the tag labels, just a count. When we restore tag indicators, then we're ready to merge.

getString("gb.repository"), getString("gb.commits"));
for (Metric metric : repositoryMetrics.values()) {
chart.addValue(metric.name, metric.count);
}
chart.setShowLegend(false);
chart.setClickUrl("../summary/");
