Usage

Line chart: ::

{% line_chart data %}

Pie chart: ::

{% pie_chart data with id='chart-1' height='400px' %}

Column chart: ::

{% column_chart data with min=400 max=1000 %}

Bar chart: ::

{% bar_chart data %}

Area chart: ::

{% area_chart data %}

Scatter chart: ::

Data

Data can be a dictionary or a list: ::

{'Chrome': 52.9, 'Opera': 1.6, 'Firefox': 27.7}

[['Chrome', 52.9], ['Firefox', 27.7], ['Opera', 1.6]]

For multiple series: ::

[{'data': [['2013-04-01 00:00:00 UTC', 52.9], ['2013-05-01 00:00:00 UTC', 50.7]], 'name': 'Chrome'},
 {'data': [['2013-04-01 00:00:00 UTC', 27.7], ['2013-05-01 00:00:00 UTC', 25.9]], 'name': 'Firefox'}]

Options

Charting library options can be passed through the library variable: ::

{% column_chart data with library={"title":"Super chart","width":"400px"} %}

.. Note:: Google Charts and Highcharts have different APIs. You may need to change the value of library when you switch from one library to another.

Or using chartkick.json file. Chartkick tries to locate chartkick.json file in template path and match options by id.
