However I need to combine several line charts in one graph, to allow comparing two data series directly. (similar to Google finance where you can compare two stocks). Can something like that be done with TimeSeriesGraph? It's not that I'm to lazy to try this out for myself, I just want to avoid spending loads of time to find out that TimeSeriesGraph isn't what I'm looking for.

Thanks to you and a google search for - google finance flash - I found your code. Time to learn Flash on Linux... I needed a better way to display/analyze my home power usage than what came with TED5000 or GooglePowerMeter. You would think since Google has the Finance graph ability, they would build on reuse in the best of ways. - Thanks agin. Stuart - Tampa Great work.

]]> Comment on Building topology in Flash by zach'ry http://indiemaps.com/blog/2010/01/building-topology-in-flash/#comment-1618 zach'ry Sun, 17 Jan 2010 06:57:39 +0000 http://indiemaps.com/blog/?p=106#comment-1618 @Andy Woodruff-- good Q. I don't think so though. The BitmapData.threshold() method only returns an integer of pixels that match the test. Other BitmapData methods may be used to gather more info about the location of overlapping pixels, and perhaps a rough vector could be approximated. But I doubt it, and I wonder how the resultant vector would be associated with the non-overlapping coordinates of overlapping features. No worries, though. Soon enough, true topological indexing will be old hat in Flash. What I've presented is just a shortcut method for the meantime. @Andy Woodruff– good Q. I don’t think so though.

Do you think there's any way to take the overlapping pixels you generate here and turn them into coordinates to generate a set of vector shared borders? (As a step toward, say, generalization.) I can imagine such a thing being pretty inaccurate and still computationally intense, but you probably have a better sense of it from your work here. I also ask this without having tried out your methods yet, so maybe it's a stupid question in the first place. Nice work!
