This example demonstrates the basic steps in creating bar charts.
[Ruby On Rails Version - Controller] app/controllers/simplebar_controller.rb
require("chartdirector")
class SimplebarController < ApplicationController
def index()
@title = "Simple Bar Chart (1)"
@ctrl_file = File.expand_path(__FILE__)
@noOfCharts = 1
render :template => "templates/chartview"
end
#
# Render and deliver the chart
#
def getchart()
# The data for the bar chart
data = [85, 156, 179.5, 211, 123]
# The labels for the bar chart
labels = ["Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri"]
# Create a XYChart object of size 250 x 250 pixels
c = ChartDirector::XYChart.new(250, 250)
# Set the plotarea at (30, 20) and of size 200 x 200 pixels
c.setPlotArea(30, 20, 200, 200)
# Add a bar chart layer using the given data
c.addBarLayer(data)
# Set the labels on the x axis.
c.xAxis().setLabels(labels)
# Output the chart
send_data(c.makeChart2(ChartDirector::PNG), :type => "image/png", :disposition => "inline")
end
