Copy the image URL to see how the charts are generated. All the information to draw the chart is in the image URL.

History

Date Change

20121221 You can now specify a "max_work" parameter to override the auto-scaling done normally. If you specify "max_work" the chart will be as high as the number you specify and the ideal burndown will start from that number. As requested by gin.

20100101 Introduced color schemes, up to four work lines, background gradients and control over size of the generated image.
If you don't want an ideal burndown line, you can get skip it by passing ideal=0. This is useful for drawing burnup charts.

20070926 You can now specify a second work parameter with its own set of values. This is useful for doing burndown comparisions, like in a release planning.

20070902 Now correctly calculates the maximum work, instead of assuming the first work value is the highest.

20070830 The line is now drawn smoother and wider, making the chart look nicer.
