Documentation

Chartify

This is a jQuery plugin that takes data in <table> form and transforms it into Google Charts <img> elements.

Chartify can be downloaded here.

Requirements

Currently supported chart types

Implementation

Download Chartify.

Include jQuery and the plugin.

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/chartify.js"></script>

Call the plugin function on the desired table elements with the chart type as parameter (bar, pie, venn or gender) and an optional options object.

$('.my-bar-charts').chartify('bar');  var options = {chartWidth: 530, colors: ["000000", "666666", "cccccc"]}; $('#my-pie-chart').chartify('pie', options);

More examples of table markup can be found in index.html

Options and defaults

When called without an options parameter, the following defaults are used.

var settings = { 	chartWidth:     496, // in pixels 	chartHeight:    180,  	marginTop:      0, 	marginRight:    0, 	marginBottom:   0, 	marginLeft:     0, 	legendWidth:    0, 	legendHeight:   0, 	pieChartRotation: 0,  // in radians 	unit:           '',   // appended to labels and values 	textSize:       11, 	textColor:      "666666", 	colors:         ["ff9daa","ffc000","007ec6","433840","6cc05c","ff710f","ED1F27","95a8ad","0053aa"], 	xAxisBoundaries:'auto', 	xAxisStep:      'auto', 	axisTickSize:   5, 	showLabels:     true, 	showLegend:     true, 	legendPosition: '', 	isStacked:      false, 	isDistribution: false, 	barWidth:       20, 	barSpacing:     2, 	groupSpacing:   10, 	imageClass:     '' };

To override any of these defaults for a single call to chartify, use the options parameter.

To override any of the default settings globally, i.e. for all subsequent calls to chartify, use the settings method:

$().chartify('settings', {showLegend: false});

When called without the parameter, the settings method returns the current default settings hash.

Future development

There are obviously several areas where improvements could be made. First of all: more chart types should really be supported.

I’m working on it…

Problems and suggestions

If you find an error or have a suggestion for future development, please report an issue.

Known issues

  • The pie chart method doesn’t fully support chart type “pc” (concentric pie chart)
  • No support for line charts and area charts
  • No support for vertical bar charts
  • The axis labels support is not fully implemented
  • The gender chart should be developed to support any number of categories
