Seer is a lightweight, semantically rich wrapper for the Google Visualization API. It allows you to easily create a visualization of data in a variety of formats, including area charts, bar charts, column charts, gauges, line charts, and pie charts.
==Usage
Add the following to the head of the page that will display a chart, or add it to your layout file:
<%= Seer::init_visualization -%>
Gather the data you want to visualize in an instance variable in your controller, then use the visualize method to insert the appropriate chart in your view.
== Example
In your controller:
# @data must be an array, and each object in the array must respond to the data method specified
# in the visualize call (in this example, 'quantity')
@data = Widget.all
In your view:
<div id="chart"></div>
<%= Seer::visualize(
@widgets,
:as => :bar_chart,
:in_element => 'chart',
:series => {:series_label => 'name', :data_method => 'quantity'},
:chart_options => {
:height => 300,
:width => 200 * @widgets.size,
:is_3_d => false,
:legend => 'none',
:colors => ["#990000"],
:title => "Widget Quantities",
:title_x => 'Quantity',
:title_y => 'Widgets'
}
)
-%>
== More information
For examples of additional chart types, refer to the documentation for each of the individual chart objects, or see the blog post announcing Seer: {Simple, Semantic Graphing for Ruby on Rails with Seer}[http://www.idolhands.com/ruby-on-rails/gems-plugins-and-engines/graphing-for-ruby-on-rails-with-seer]
A {sample project}[http://github.com/Bantik/seer_sample] that demonstrates each of the chart types is available on GitHub.
