Template:Graph

This template lets any user of the Wiki include a graph in a Wiki page much like he/she can include an image. The graph is defined using [http://www.json.org/ JSON] that describes the graph directly using the properties supported by the [http://docs.dojocampus.org/dojox/charting charting library] in the [http://www.dojotoolkit.org/ Dojo Toolkit]. As datasource either a Wiki table, a (publicly accessible) [http://docs.google.com/ Google Docs] spreadsheet or a script (Javascript) can be used.

Steps to get a graph onto the Wiki:

  1. Create a table on a Wiki page and give it an id (optional if it is the first/only table on the page).
  2. Create a Wiki page with the following text (replacing all the bits between '/*' and '*/' with whatever is appropriate in your case (see the [http://docs.dojocampus.org/dojox/charting Dojo documentation] for information on the options available): 
    

    {
    

    datatable: '/*url of table*/',
    

    width: '/*width, including a unit, e.g. 8cm*/',
    

    height: '/*height, including a unit, e.g. 5cm*/',
    

    series: [
    

      /* comma-separated list of data series to display, e.g. for just one data series: */
    

      {x: /*x column*/, y: /*y column*/ /*, style options */}
    

    ],
    

    {{defaultAxes|xtitle=/*time (s)*/|ytitle=/*concentration (µM)*/}},
    

    {{defaultPlot}}
    

    }
    

    3. 

  3.  Use 
    {{graph|/*Wiki graph page name*/}}
     to use the graph in any Wiki page (note that any Wiki page using a graph must also use 
    {{GraphHeader}}
     once).


As an example Team:Groningen/Graphs/Test can be rendered using:



{{graph|Team:Groningen/Graphs/Test}}


Which looks like this:

And this is not limited to line charts, as Team:Groningen/Graphs/TestPie shows (note that it could have been made to look a little nicer by tweaking the plot options):

Instead of a spreadsheet a script can also be used as datasource:

And an example showing scaled versions of the above graphs:

Please note that any page using this template should also include Template:GraphHeader (once), this need not be at the beginning of the document.
