Table4Chart

This ECMAScript (Javascript) library allows easy chart creation from a (x)HTML table. Some highlights:

• Unobtrusive: a simple <script> tag is needed to activate Table4Chart's engine;
• Compatible: complete features under Mozilla Firefox ≥ 1.0, Konqueror ≥ 3.5, Safari 3, Opera ≥ 7, Internet Explorer ≥ 6;
• Accessible: table data is always available to all browsers, ECMAScript (Javascript) support or not;
• Stylable: most graphic elements can be styled with CSS directives;
• Small: web server compression brings the size to under the 30kB mark;

• A customized version of the WebFX chart library (included in Table4Chart packages);
• The (x)HTML code should ideally follow standards but Table4Chart will try its best to accomodate imperfect markup;
• CSV export requires server-side script language support (currently only PHP is supported, easily implemented in other languages);

Version 0.0 pre-alpha: no package available for now — see the Subversion section.

The development version is available through subversion. The follow command allows you to download it:

svn co https://svn.ptaff.ca/table4chart/trunk/

Note that the ptaff.ca certificate is self-signed; it's possible that you get a warning — you may safely ignore it.

Table4Chart is used here on ptaff.ca; you can peek at our sunrise/sunset page.
