It is with great pleasure that I respond to this correspondence, heralding the imminent upgrade and redesign of Apache ECharts to version 6.0. In this context, I would like to share some preliminary ideas which I hope will serve as a source of inspiration and stimulation for the developers engaged in this endeavor. Visual Enrichment: Upon the foundation of meticulous color consideration established in Apache ECharts 5.0, I propose to introduce Gradient Color Bars with pre-packaged options for immediate use and custom configuration by users, which shall encompass pre-configured options readily available for utilization and customizable configurations at the discretion of the user. To further diversify the visual spectrum, I suggest the incorporation of additional gradient modes beyond linear gradients, including but not limited to, radial gradients. This augmentation will undoubtedly elevate the aesthetic appeal and visual representation capabilities of the charts. Enhanced Flexibility and Customizability: My vision encompasses the introduction of fundamental geometric entities, such as circles, rectangles, polygons, and curves, thereby facilitating the creation of unconventional charts. These entities, henceforth referred to as 'Primitives', shall be endowed with the capability to bind to datasets provided by the user, thereby empowering them to conceptualize and realize charts that align precisely with their design requisites. Component-Oriented Interactivity: I envision a transformation wherein Primitives and associated chart controls metamorphose into discrete components. This approach will usher in a low-code platform, offering users a canvas for the free-form composition of charts through intuitive point-and-click and drag-and-drop interactions. This interactivity will not only grant users considerable freedom in designing charts but also generate corresponding code automatically. Multi-User Synchronization: Optimizing the aforementioned low-code platform to accommodate online collaboration will enable multiple users to engage in collaborative analysis of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional charts. This feature will foster a collaborative environment, significantly enhancing teamwork and productivity amongst users involved in shared projects.
The aforementioned conceptions are meticulously crafted with the intent to galvanize the developer community and to expand the ambit of Apache ECharts, thereby transmuting it into an even more universal and user-oriented apparatus for data visualization. I harbor a sincere aspiration that these deliberations may act as a catalyst for innovation, providing a rich reservoir of inspiration for the developers embarked upon this endeavor.
