README.txt in Charts and Graphs 6.2

-- SUMMARY --

Charts and Graphs is a API for developers. It can easily be extended by
third-party modules that want to add their own charting implementations. It does
nothing by itself. It should only be installed if some other module requires it.

See Views Charts <http://drupal.org/project/views_charts> for usage of a
user-centric application as the Charts and Graphs module is a framework +
collection of implementation modules (under the api folder). Please read
README/INSTALL files of the implementations since their installation may involve
downloading flash components or third-party libraries. Drupal guidelines does
not always allow packaging those with Drupal code.

For a full description of the module, visit the project page:

-- UPGRADE --

* On version 6.x-2.0-RC2 a settings page was introduced in Charts and Graphs. To
  get access to it you should uninstall Charts and Graphs and reinstall it when
  upgrading from a pre 6.x-2.0-RC2 version to 6.x-2.0-RC2 or later.

* On version 6.x-2.x the main "chart_graphs_get_graph" function has been
  renamed to "charts_graphs_get_graph" so it has the correct prefix. Fix your
  code.

* To upgrade from any 6.x-1.x version to 6.x-2.x first disable all Charts and
  Graphs module and submodules (charting libraries).

* Then move all files related to Charts and Graphs to a temporary directory:
  mv sites/all/modules/charts_graphs /tmp

* Untar the new release at the modules directory.

* Copy any downloaded file for some specific charting library from the temporary
  directory to the new module.

* Remove the old module:
 rm -rf /tmp/charts_graphs


-- CONFIGURATION --

* The configuration options are available at admin/settings/charts_graphs. They
  deal only with the appearance or not of a few warnings at the "Status reports"
  page.
