## Description

Using [Chartist.js](http://gionkunz.github.io/chartist-js/), this [TablePress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/)
Extension creates a responsive chart based on the data in a TablePress table.

#### Use

Add the Shortcode `[table-chart id=123 /]` to a post or page to create a chart from
the TablePress table 123.

Optional parameters:

 * Show/hide chart line: `showline=true` (default: true)
 * Show/hide show chart area: `showarea=false` (default: false)
 * Set chart y low: `low=0` (default: table low)
 * Set chart y high: `high=10` (default: table high)
 * Set line with of the donut chart: `donut_width=200` (default: false)
 * Enable/disable smooth line: `linesmooth=true` (default: true)
 * Enable/disable line points: `showpoint=true` (default: true)
 * Enable/disable horizontal bars: `horizontal=true` (default: false)
 * Enable/disable stacked bars: `stack=true` (default: false)
 * Set chart aspect ratio: `aspect_ratio=3:4` (default: 3:4) Alternatives: 1, 15:
   16, 8:9, 5:6, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 5:8, 1:1.618, 3:5, 9:16, 8:15, 1:2, 2:5, 3:8, 1:
   3, or 1:4
 * Select chart type: `chart=bar` (default: line) Alternatives: line, bar, pie, 
   donut, percent or piepercent (mix of pie and percent).
 * Set label offset: `label_offset=100` (default: false)
 * Set chart padding: `chart_padding=100` (default: false)
 * Use animations (not available for all chart types): `animation=buildup` (default:
   false)

If the “Table Head Row” option is enabled for the table, the Extension will use 
the head row data for the chart labels.
 The other rows will be shown as lines or
bars. Pie or percent charts will only use the first data row. Percent charts will
ignore the header row.

#### CSS customizations

If you’d like to overide [the default style](http://gionkunz.github.io/chartist-js/getting-started.html#the-sass-way),
you can add a `tablepress-chartist-custom.css` in `wp-content` directory. It will
be loaded after the Extension’s default CSS file `libdist/chartist.min.css`.

**Example:**

    ```
    /**
     * SVG Shape CSS properties: http://tutorials.jenkov.com/svg/svg-and-css.html#shape-css-properties
     */

    /* First line / bar is .ct-series-a, next is .ct-series-b etc. */
    .ct-chart .ct-series.ct-series-a .ct-bar,
    .ct-chart .ct-series.ct-series-a .ct-line,
    .ct-chart .ct-series.ct-series-a .ct-point  {
        stroke: #073DA0;
    }

    .ct-series .ct-line, .ct-chart .ct-bar {
        fill: none;
        stroke-width: 10px;
    }

    .ct-chart .ct-point {
        stroke-width: 10px;
        stroke-linecap: round;
    }
    ```

Simple and quite flexible way to save needing to import images from Excel or some
other solution. Eliminates a complex process if data is updated. Note there is a
patch needed, with the code in support section, but I am considering updating for
my own use and will share patched version if anyone is interested in avoiding touching
code.
