admiralpeds vs ApexCharts: at a glance
What is admiralpeds?
admiralpeds has shipped nothing but documentation for four releases running.
The paediatric extension to admiral provides growth-parameter derivations against WHO and CDC metadata. Across its last four releases the notes contain no new functions and no changed derivations — the entries are vignettes, website theming, badges, an LLM documentation widget, lint configuration and a roclet migration to admiraldev.
What is ApexCharts?
Licensing settled, ApexCharts is back to changing what a chart can take as input.
ApexCharts is deep into a fast v6 line, shipping roughly weekly. The licensing arc that dominated 6.5 through 6.7 — trial watermarks, the first premium-gated chart type, then entitlement checks — has settled, and the last three releases are library work again. 6.9.0 is the largest of them: a histogram type that bins raw samples, a morph engine that conserves marks across chart types, and the end of the library's dependency-free packaging.

admiralpeds
0.0ANALYTICS
admiralpeds has shipped nothing but documentation for four releases running.
◆ Current state
The paediatric extension to admiral provides growth-parameter derivations against WHO and CDC metadata. Across its last four releases the notes contain no new functions and no changed derivations — the entries are vignettes, website theming, badges, an LLM documentation widget, lint configuration and a roclet migration to admiraldev.
◆ Where it's heading
Development has moved almost entirely into the shared pharmaverse infrastructure: subject test data went out to pharmaversesdtm, lint configuration and the custom admiral roclets moved to admiraldev, and the website now follows the same PR-triggered build workflow as its sibling packages. What is left in the package itself is the growth derivations, which have not changed in these entries.
◆ Prediction
On this evidence the growth-derivation surface is considered complete; the next release is more likely to track an admiraldev or admiral change than to add a derivation.
ApexCharts
10.0ANALYTICS
Licensing settled, ApexCharts is back to changing what a chart can take as input.
◆ Current state
ApexCharts is deep into a fast v6 line, shipping roughly weekly. The licensing arc that dominated 6.5 through 6.7 — trial watermarks, the first premium-gated chart type, then entitlement checks — has settled, and the last three releases are library work again. 6.9.0 is the largest of them: a histogram type that bins raw samples, a morph engine that conserves marks across chart types, and the end of the library's dependency-free packaging.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line now is input and arrangement rather than catalogue size. Charts increasingly accept the measurements a team actually has instead of pre-aggregated values, and the seams that let you hand a chart its own layout — plotOptions.unit.positions, the pluggable layout hook — are being filled in with kits rather than hard-coded options. The premium boundary has stopped moving; the free catalogue keeps growing around it.
◆ Prediction
Expect the raw-observation pattern to reach another chart type now that the bar pathway handles binning, and expect the remaining pluggable seams to get companion kits the way positions just did.
