In my project I was need PChart 2.0 and I start searching fast way how to integrate this libraries, and no complite solution was founded, so I start to integrate it by myself, and I like to share my practices with community. I want to notice thats I am using 2.2.1 CI, do not know if its work for CI 3.0.0
First at all download pChart and unpack it to "application/third_party/chart" folder (you can delete example folder btw)
Then create new folder "libraries" in "application/third_party/chart". Inside this new folder create file pchart.php with next content
PHP Code:
<?php
class Pchart
{
public function __construct() // or any other method
{
require_once APPPATH.'third_party/chart/class/pData.class.php';
require_once APPPATH.'third_party/chart/class/pDraw.class.php';
require_once APPPATH.'third_party/chart/class/pImage.class.php';
}
function pData(){
return new pData();
}
function pImage($n,$i,$data=NULL,$trans=FALSE){
return new pImage($n,$i,$data,$trans);
}
}
Now, I can create my controller function with example from pChart page:
PHP Code:
function chart(){
$this->load->add_package_path(APPPATH.'third_party/chart/');
$this->load->library('pchart');
/* Add data in your dataset */
$PDA = $this->pchart->pData();
$PDA->addPoints(array(VOID,3,4,3,5));
/* Create a pChart object and associate your dataset */
$PDI = $this->pchart->pImage(700,230,$PDA);
/* Choose a nice font */
$PDI->setFontProperties(array("FontName"=>APPPATH.'third_party/chart/fonts/Forgotte.ttf',"FontSize"=>11));
/* Define the boundaries of the graph area */
$PDI->setGraphArea(60,40,670,190);
/* Draw the scale, keep everything automatic */
$PDI->drawScale();
/* Draw the scale, keep everything automatic */
$PDI->drawSplineChart();
/* Build the PNG file and send it to the web browser */
$PDI->Render("basic.png");
}
And in the end I got my render. Hope its help to you as well.
