To create multi-dataset charts simply add the values using the function!

• setDataset(required string $element_label, required array $values)

Database Charts

You can also generate database charts with simple setup!

Example data:

Note: You are required to use a specific group method before rendering the chart!

Important: To work with the GroupByYear, GroupByMonth, GroupByDay, lastByYear, lastByMonth & lastByDay you'll need the column in the data rows.

The available methods are:

• setData(required mixed $data)

  Setup the data again.

• setDateColumn(required string $column)

  Set the column to group the data.

  Default:

• setDateFormat(required string $format)

  Set the fancy date format for groupByDay() and lastByDay() function if $fancy set to true, must be called before those function.

  Default:

• setMonthFormat(required string $format)

  Set the fancy date format for groupByMonth() and lastByMonth() function if $fancy set to true, must be called before those function.

  Default:

• groupBy(required string $column)

  Groups the data based on a column.

  

• groupByYear(optional int $years)

  Groups the data based in years.

  Default:

  

• groupByMonth(optional string $year, optional boolean $fancy)

  Groups the data in months (if no year set, the current one will be used).

  Default:

  

• groupByDay(optional string $month, optional string $year, optional boolean $fancy)

  Default:

  

• lastByMonth(optional int $number, optional boolean $fancy)

  Display the numbers of months behind (relative to the current date).

  Default:

  

• lastByDay(optional int $number, optional boolean $fancy)

  Display the numbers of days behind (relative to the current date).

  Default:

  

Realtime Charts

You can create realtime charts.

'value' can be changed to diferent index name with

Note: The interval is set in ms

The available methods are:

• setValueName(required string $string)

  Sets the value json index.

  Default:

• setUrl(required string $url)

  Sets the url after chart object creation.

• setInterval(required int $interval)

  Sets the interval after chart object creation (ms).

• setMaxValues(required int $number)

Math Functions Charts

You can create math function charts.

The function is , the interval is and the amplitude is

• setFunction(required string $function)

  Sets the function.

• setInterval(required array $interval)

  Sets the function / chart interval.

• setAmplitude(required int $amplitude)

  Sets the function amplitude between x points.

• calculate()

  Calculates the valeus / labels for the chart.

  Note: This function is called every time a modification is made in the chart function, interval or amplitude so you don't need to call it every time you change the values. It's just an auxiliary function.

Extend your way!

You can create your own Charts by forking this repository. The folder contains all the current charts, but you can add yours like this:

Create a new file

Create a new file, the syntax is:

if your chart library is called: and your template is for the line chart: Then you create a file like this:

To call it later, just use:

You will need to add the CSS / JS to the includes.php file found in the folder.

You have plenty of examples to see how to put the data so just take a closer look at all the included templates before doing yours!
