Creates SVG based bar charts out of your CSV data. A powerful, easy to use shortcode.

== Description ==

IPU-Chart is an easy to use shortcode that creates SVG based bar, pie and line charts out of your CSV data.

The plugin takes a csv file (Texteditor, Excel, Numbers etc.) and displays it as a chart. IPU-Chart is based on SVG and works perfectly on large computer screens as well as on tablets and smaller mobile screens. For browsers that do not support SVG an alternative image can be set.

= Features =

* Create bar, pie and line charts
* Enter the csv data directy in you blog or page
* Load csv data from a remote location
* Create multiple views of the csv data
* Animated tooltip for chart details (see screenshots)
* Define colors and number formats of the chart
* Create an additional table view of the csv data

= Usage =

First, define your data. You can create it immediately in WordPress or copy and paste it from an export of your favourite spreadsheet application.

<pre>
[csv id='popdata']Country,Population
China,1343.24
India,1205.07
United States,313.85
Indonesia,248.22
Brazil,205.72[/csv]
</pre>

Second, define the chart. Reference the csv (don't forget the '#'). Set the chart type and the category and value column. Define the format (string, integer, float or date) of the category and value columns.

<pre>
[chart id='chart0' 
       csv='#popdata' 
       type='bar | bar.horizontal | pie | line'
       category='Country'
       value='Population'
       format='sting,float'
       color='DarkOrange, DarkBlue'
       style='height: 350px'
       title='Top five most populous countries of the world...'
       description='The top five most populous countries of the world...'
       sort='Population"
       img='http://www.example.com/chart0.png'
       debug='false']
</pre>

To define a table view just reference the csv (don't forget the '#'):

<pre>
[table id='table0' 
       csv='#popdata'
       debug='false']
</pre>
