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.
