Displaying data to your website visitors in a way that's easily understood and visually appealing is a tough task. The Charts stack aims to make this an easy process.

This stack was previously developed by SeyDesign and Nimblehost back in 2012, and is based on the popular open source graphing plugin called jqPlot. By request of several customers, the Charts stack has received a substantial update. This third generation of the Charts stack is now mobile responsive and boasts more features.

The Charts stack supports multiple data series, line and bar graphs (which can be animated) as well as area charts, scatter plots, doughnut and pie charts, and even a meter gauge. Each type of chart comes with its own customisable options, giving you extensive control over how your chart is displayed. Multiple Chart stacks can be used on the same page, if you want to create a more sophisticated "wigetised" dashboard.

To load data into the Charts stack, you can use a basic CSV spreadsheet file. Most spreadsheet software and code editors can create CSV files. Therefore the Charts stack is very novice-friendly.

A free trial version and sample project file are available to download for Charts.

Changes in Charts v3 include:

Generated charts and graphs are now fully preview-able in RapidWeaver.

Improved handling of multiple Chart stacks (sharing the same CSV file or in different configurations) on the same webpage.

Fixed a problem, whereby graph axis labels would always get shown on the pie and doughnut chart types.

New options to specify a maximum width or height, in your preferred units of measurement (e.g. %, px, rem, vw, vh).

All colour pickers now support RGBa opacity.

Fixed a bug that was causing a thick black line to be rendered under charts in Foundation 6.

Updated some stack setting labels and informational tooltips, to make setup quicker and easier.

Dropped support for Internet Explorer 8 and less. These web browsers have been officially obsolete for some years. Few people use these browsers anymore. This has the benefit of greatly reducing the amount of code everybody else has to load.

Reorganised and regrouped a few of the stack settings, to make things easier to find.

As requested by a user, it is now possible to rotate both x-axis and y-axis ticks, on bar and line charts.

Support has been added for Area Charts. These can be accomplished by using the existing Line Chart type, and selecting the Area Plot checkbox (in Line Chart Options).

New stack icons and a few other tidbits of information required by newer versions of Stacks and RapidWeaver.

Added the ability to toggle the chart box shadow effect on and off using a single checkbox option.

Cleaned up 'edit mode' to display less information about Charts. Important messages are still displayed if something is configured incorrectly.

Perhaps the biggest feature of all is that Charts is now fully responsive. This means that generated charts or graphs will scale-down to fit tablets and smartphones. Therefore removing the need to create multiple charts for different screen sizes. I know this has been a frequent user request and a long time coming! Major technical hurdles had to be overcome, which meant rewriting a large portion of the underlying codebase. Charts will now redraw each time the screen is resized or changes orientation.

Charts - convert data to graph, easy as pie ...

Charts stack is a powerful tool to convert your csv data into beautiful graphs.

Charts can work with csv file loaded into Resources of the project file or from relative url or absolute url. There are chart options like bar, line, pie and others. The stack offers many options to tweak, like data label tilt, font colors, data series color selection and many others. Charts can display multiple data series and all that even animated.

I am working on a intranet website for statistics on Spectrum Protect server (former Tivoli Storage Manager), like TB backed up, migration, tape mount/drive and other. A script generates csv data from SQL statements and load them up to the server, the website with Charts presents the csv data in beautiful and animated charts.

Will Woodgate is a versatile developer, great in communicating with the user and always ready to help. The staks4stack website provides real examples, a project file for RW8 with many examples, and even a try-before-you-buy version of the stack to download and try out. I personally find the price of the stack very user friendly for all what it provides.

You should really give it a try. It's a fantastic stack.
