You can start to create any example chart into your blog and study it more before you decide if that suits for your visual presentation's needs at hand. This product lets you generate as many copies of different charts on the one page as you wish and scale their size just the way you like case by case. All the example's input data sets are stored in the same format on data folder so that you can easily copy them and start to use them as a template for your own data's needs. This package is produced as an example how to bring in high level chart galleries into WordPress CMS and there is no active support available. If you like it give us some stars on WP plugin site so that others can find it more easily too - thank you ! . **Key Features** 1. Full set of original NVD3's gallery charts (totally 12 types of charts). 1. Super easy to illustrate your own data sets from blog's root directory. 1. Many charts on the same page / post of WordPress from one API call. 1. Easy to scale them in pixels. 1. Accurate placement of each chart based on freely selected any HTML container tag. 1. Many fancy options available to change chart's look & behavior. 1. Dynamic & direct illustration of any JavaScript function results. 1. Visual look of charts defined from the NVD3 library's original CSS style file to match your blog's theme. . **Data input** * Data's import from any valid JSON file or from customized data generating own JavaScript function. . **HAPPY CHARTING on WordPress !** **Credits** This open source distribution contains visualisation libraries from: * [Robin Hu, NVD3] (http://github.com/novus/nvd3 "Higher level library to create fast & easy D3 charts.") * [Michael Bostock, D3] (http://github.com/mbostock/d3 "Famous open source visualisation library core.")

YES indeed, the software is written so that it transparently creates and draws many charts on the same page and gives you exact control where you like to show them. = How can I visualize my own data set? = You just check at first the gallery's data folder's input file structure and then you can use any tool to create similar data sets on the server side. Next, you may also want to write own custom function from which you directly call on the fly JavaScript API when data set is ready to show out. = How do I know which options work together with the chart type that I use? = Look at inside **chart_options.html** file and its comparisions table, please. = Where is open source if I want to improve it? = Here: * http://github.com/wp-plugins/nvd3-visualisations == Screenshots == 1.
