Description

With this plugin you can create a quick and easy bar chart on your DokuWiki page. It uses CSS and HTML only and no images needed.

Screenshot and info available here: AV Bar Chart for Dokuwiki.

Syntax and Usage

<barchart>1000|A:700,B:50,C:250,D:1000</barchart>
  • The first value is the max number that your data set will go to.
  • After the | you have a comma separated list of labels and values to be graphed.
  • In the source of the plugin are config vars that let you customize the size, color and font of your chart.

You can then use regular DokuWiki syntax to put a title above it and if needed, a legend below to describe the labels. If you make the bars wide, the labels can be full text.

Installation

  • Plugin Manager: Paste this URL into the Plugin Manager to install AVBarChart automatically: http://syntaxseed.com/downloads/plugin-avbarchart.zip
  • Manually: To get the plugin to work, manually install the plugin:
    1. Make a new directory avbarchart/ in your plugins directory.
    2. Add the source code below to a file syntax.php in the avbarchart directory.
    3. Edit the config vars in the source code to customize your chart.

Configuration Vars:

// ********* CHART CONFIG SETTINGS *************

var $barWidth = 20;         //Pixel width of chart bars.
var $barColor = "#ccccff";  //Color of graph bars.
var $fontSize = "8pt;";     //Font size of labels and values.
var $maxPxHeight = "100";   //Maximum height of the chart in pixels.

// *********************************************

If your barWidth is not wider than the labels, your chart will look funny. Different colors for different bars is not supported currently.

Known Bugs

  • None.

To Do

  • Support dokuwiki syntax inside task description.

Changelog

  • 2007-10-19
    • Created plugin.
  • 2009-05-15
    • Added URL to zip for automatic installation.
  • 2013-02-25
    • Updated layout bugs for latest browsers and version of Dokuwiki.
    • Updated this wiki page to remove redundant comments.

Hi everyone, let me know what you think. ~Sherri

Simple and elegant plugin. Excellent work!. ~Dmitri

I liked it, too. But what I miss is a simple plugin for Gantt charts. This plugin could be the one if horizontal bars and different start points were allowed. Thanks! ~TJPP

This is a nice plugin. Whenever I use this avbarchart plugin, I kept getting an error message IF I'm using headers (H1-H5), stating that headers already been sent bla bla bla… How to solve this? Thanks ~Yohan

  • Sorry Yohan I don't know. The PHP error about headers have already been sent shouldn't be related to having headings on your page. ~Sherri
  • You using headers (h1-h5) shouldn't have anything to do with that. Probably you left an empty line in the beginning or the end of a .php file you edited (the plugin one?). Remove any of those and you'll be fine. ~ tduarte

Different colors for different bars

You can add the support for this by changing two lines (97 and 102) in your php code. If the color for individual bar is not given, the basic barColor is used instead. Example of usage (Warning this code uses and older version of this plugin.):

<barchart>100|A:55:#FFCCCC,B:5,C:23,D:38</barchart>

Modification: New style and small fixes

It's amazing what effect a few small CSS styles can bring to this bar chart: round corners, a dropshadow and gradient background. Here I post my modified syntax.php, it implements following changes:

  • new bar-styles (round corners, a 3d-border, dropshadow, gradient background)
  • a new setting “$barPadding” that allows bars to be spaced evenly even when labels have different widths
  • better alignment of labels when there is a line-break in the text

Example:

<barchart>325|Google:268:red,Yahoo!<br>Mail:185:blue,GMX:86,Others:152</barchart>

Here is changed syntax.php file (Warning this code uses and older version of this plugin.):
