Introduction

Graphs and Charts

Plotalot uses the Google Charts API to draw many types of charts and tables, using data from SQL queries or CSV files.


  • Line graphs, scatter graphs, and area graphs with multiple plots
  • Horizontal or vertical stacked or grouped bar charts ...
  • 2D or 3D pie charts and donut charts ...
  • Gauges, timelines, bubble charts, gantt charts, calendar charts, combo charts, candlestick charts, org charts, tree map charts, geo charts, and annotation charts
  • Supports both Classic and Material Design charts
  • Legend at top, bottom, left, right, or none
  • Optional grid
  • Titles and axis labels can be simple text or SQL queries
  • Axis limits can be automatic, fixed, or SQL generated
  • Charts can be responsive, and can refresh automatically without re-drawing the whole page
  • Three types of tables, including fully responsive CSS tables
  • Single items merge data from your database seamlessly into articles
  • Query the local site database or any other supported database
  • No libraries to install, just a component and an optional plugin
  • Charts can be cached on your web-server to reduce database load
  • Plotalot can be built in to your own code to add charting to your own extensions

Fully documented in a free PDF user guide.

The "Date added" for this extension is somehow incorrect. Check the date of the first review: 28 March 2010.

I have been using this component since 2012. Though it has lots of features but i explored only a few of them and they very inspirational. For e.g filter records from a huge table based either currently logged in user, user type, user email, root path.



There are plenty of functional attributes could bring more value to this component.



Unlike other component they deliver flash based charts which wouldn't function in iOS based gadgets. This components deliver charts that would across the platform which is a plus.



In addition to the great functionalities inbuilt,if they could render the charts with little animation would bring more value to this component.



Good Job!
I've been using Plotalot for about a year now and have been very pleased with it. The recent upgrade uses Google's new Visualization API which has a cleaner look. I needed support for dynamic legends and Chris had it implemented in less than 24 hours. That's excellent support. Thank you.
I purchased the commercial version of this extension. I was looking for something to help me create some charts and graphs on my site. Found Plotalot and I was really impressed! I have been able to make some super looking charts and graphs for my website.



As the author an others have mentioned, you do need to know how to write SQL queries. However if know how to do it or you are willing to learn the results are easy. Simply create your query in your favorite SQL query tool, copy and paste the query into a new chart or graph, select the type of graph you want to use and save. You can instantly see the results in the component. When you are done it is super easy to insert the chart / graph into an article or HTML module.



I love the fact that this is a component. Other options I looked at were plugins. To me, I would much rather have a component to create and organize with.



Did I mention that it is really a great value for the price?



If you know how to do SQL, then you won't do much better creating charts and graphs than using Plotalot. Highly recommended!



Michael
I needed to do some graphs for one of my clients based upon a very complex mysql database I had build using Fabrik.



Plotalot was recommended to me as the ideal companion for Fabrik and I have to say I have not been disappointed at all.



Plotalot is easy to use and the results are just plain "beautiful" to look at. Plotalot 3 uses Google's visualisation API.



I would say that you need to be able to write mysql queries, and to be fair the author points that out clearly and gives good advice in the excellent documentation.



Overall I would thoroughly recommend this product to anyone looking for an easy to use and robust graphing extension.



Top marks!



Regards, Mark.
Although this is an almost free extension, I bought the plugin extension because the price is awesome.

The extension works great from minute one, and a little problem I had, due to not reading slowly the usesrs manual, was solved within hours by support. Really excellent extension.
This is definitely one of the best components for creating in an easy way nice charts and tables in Joomla. It is very easy to connect to a database to get the data, in addition the component does not need flash which is an advantage (ie works nicely on ipads, iphones, etc). Good support too!

One word : Awsome

I first took a fast look to their site. Attractive yes, overwelming no. Then I took a test-drive off the product ...

Off course did'nt read the manual first and started trying just like that. Thought that I had a good suggestion, quick reply that it was already possible. Fast and good support, even for a free product.

Very good backend to develop what you want !

Good, very good

Gooooood

PLOTALOT is a great solution for all websites that like graphs.

The component and its modules are very easy to install and to set up and it works very fine.





Very good, no hard to work with

Good application



Posted on 29 March 2012
I looked around for graph and table creation compponent and this is just what I need. It works great and it is easy to publish data on your web page witht the plugin.

I wish I could have hyperlink in the tables so It could fire another link to another report, drill down basically. I looked at Google APi and couldn'T find it how to make this happen. It would then be erfect for me but it is still a good application worth the price for sure.
Owner's reply: Thanks for that. Other users have made hyperlinks in tables, and we'll be adding some examples to the user guide soon, so keep an eye out for a new version.
