Different Charts for Different Data

The Google API has a large variety of ways to display data and the following list simply shows very briefly how they are treated in this extension.

Chart Types

• Considered charts

  • The following charts are exclusively for data that is distributed in rows. These charts accept one domain column which is usually of type string, and one column which is usually of type number
    • Donut
    • Pie
  • For numerical data that is distributed in more than one column you should choose one of the following
    • Area
    • Bar
    • Column
    • Line
  • For data that is to be presented in multiple formats on the same chart (i.e.: average lines over bars) the following can be configured very easily
    • Combo
  • Bar and Column charts can easily behave as Donut and Pie charts if there is only one column of data to represent against a domain column.

• The following chart types have been ignored for the simple reason that their underlying data structure is more complex and accommodating exceptions for each one for each feature is not in the current scope of the extension.
