  • HighChartMaker should make easy work of developing simple charts using the highcharts.js framework. This js file is loaded as a part of the extension.
  • Runs locally on device, no internet required
  • You can create six types of charts, maybe more ? ...
    line, spline, bar, column, pie & pie-donut
  • As you will see from the example blocks and aia, to generate a chart, you will need to provide a set of dictionaries to feed the sockets in the extension.
  • clicking a point in any of the charts will return a list of the associated values: name, category, index, value
  • You will probably want to spend some time over on highcharts.com, to read up on the settings available (which are considerable, and can be complex)
