GoogleChartPlugin update

Tags: Grails

It seems that Google has been busy adding new options and features to their chart API. Among the new features are map, spark lines, and expanded options for attributes like range markers. It was about time the Grails plugin got an update as well.

Because the plugin for the most part just takes in ArrayList to specify attributes, you only need to upgrade iff you want to use spark line charts, maps, or scaling of text encoded datasets. No upgrade is need to use the new range markers, solid attributes, or line styles.

The one thing that is missing at this time is the ability to do Radar charts. I plan to add that sometime soon.
