Bar Char Scale

Hi There

for the bar charts you must use the following

datasets=”40,32,50,35 next 20,25,45,42 next 40,43, 61,50 next 33,15,40,22″

and you must also ensure you have the correct number of labels.

This is because the bar chart is able to show comparative data and therefore requires sets divided by the “next” keyword, even if you only have a single value per set.

If you’re doing it this way could you add a code snippet and link to an example if possible?

Hope this helps.

Warmest Regards

Hi Paul

Thank you for your very quick response.

Unfortunately i’m working on it locally at the moment, i’m looking to get up onto a client area this week.. but here is the shortcode i’m using…

[wp_charts width=”185px” height=”185px” canvaswidth=”185″ canvasheight=”185″ title=”graph_container3″ class=”graph_container” type=”bar” datasets=”60, 50, 55″ labels=”Lorem Ipsum, Lorem Ipsum, Lorem Ipsum” colors=”#83d1f5, #94c247, #83d1f5″]

are you saying the dataset should be…

datasets=”60, 50, 55 next”?

Hey there,

all datasets should be seperated by the next keyword, as the bar chart can have multiple items of data (a dataset) per “label”, if you only have one you should be seperating each with the next keyword.

ie :datasaets=”50 next 20 next 10″ or datasets=”20,10,50 next 30,30,10 next 50,40,20″

alternatively it sounds like your data would be better displayed using a PIE chart or line. Hope that helps.

Warmest Regards

Paul
