see: jlord.github.io/sheetsee.js

Sheetsee.js provides three D3.js chart options to use with your spreadsheet data: a bar chart, line graph and pie chart. You can also use a custom D3 chart with Sheetsee, read about that here.

Make a Chart

Each chart requires your data be an array of objects, with objects containing label and units key/value pairs.

Experiment with the charts to find the correct size your <div> will need to be to hold the chart with your data in it nicely.

You can also make your own D3 chart in a separate .js file, link to that in your HTML head and pass your data on to it after Tabletop.js returns. Information here on using your own chart.

Bar Chart

To create a bar chart you'll need to add a placeholder <div> in your HTML with an id.

<div id="barChart"></div>

In your CSS, give it dimensions.

#barChart {height: 400px; max-width: 600px; background: #F8CDCD;}

You'll also have these CSS elements to style however you'd like:

.labels text {text-align: right;}
.bar .labels text {fill: #333;}
.bar rect {fill: #e6e6e6;}
.axis {shape-rendering: crispEdges;}
.x.axis line {stroke: #fff; fill: none;}
.x.axis path {fill: none;}
.x.axis text {fill: #333;}
.xLabel {font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 9px;}

In a <script> tag set up your options.

var barOptions = {labels: "name", units: "cuddleability", m: [60, 60, 30, 150], w: 600, h: 400, div: "#barChart", xaxis: "no. of pennies", hiColor: "#FF317D"}

• labels is a string, usually a column header, it's what you call what you're charting
• units is a string, usually a column header, it's the value you're charting
• m is margins: top, right, bottom, left
• w and h are width and height, this should match your CSS specs
• div is the id for the <div> in your HTML
• xaxis is optional text label for your x axis
• hiColor is the highlight color of your choosing!

Then call the d3BarChart() function with your data and options.

Sheetsee.d3BarChart(data, barOptions)

Line Chart

To create a line chart you'll need to add a placeholder <div> in your html with an id.

<div id="lineChart"></div>

In your CSS, give it dimensions.

#lineChart {height: 400px; max-width: 600px; background: #F8CDCD;}

And these chart elements to style:

.axis {shape-rendering: crispEdges;}
.x.axis .minor, .y.axis .minor {stroke-opacity: .5;}
.x.axis {stroke-opacity: 1;}
.y.axis line, .y.axis path {fill: none; stroke: #acacac; stroke-width: 1;}
.bigg {-webkit-transition: all .2s ease-in-out; -webkit-transform: scale(2);}
path.chartLine {stroke: #333; stroke-width: 3; fill: none;}
div.tooltip {position: absolute; text-align: left; padding: 4px 8px; width: auto; font-size: 10px; height: auto; background: #fff; border: 0px; pointer-events: none;}
circle {fill: #e6e6e6;}

In a <script> tag set up your options.

var lineOptions = {labels: "name", units: "cuddleability", m: [80, 100, 120, 100], w: 600, h: 400, div: "#lineChart", yaxis: "no. of pennies", hiColor: "#14ECC8"}

• labels is a string, usually a column header, it's what you call what you're charting
• units is a string, usually a column header, it's the value you're charting
• m is your margins: top, right, bottom, left
• w and h are width and height, this should match your CSS specs
• div is the id for the <div> in your HTML
• yaxis is optional text label for your y axis
• hiColor is the highlight color of your choosing!

Then call the d3LineChart() function with your data and options.

Sheetsee.d3LineChart(data, lineOptions)

Pie Chart

To create a bar chart you'll need to add a placeholder <div> in your html with an id.

<div id="pieChart"></div>

In your CSS, give it dimensions.

#pieChart {height: 400px; max-width: 600px; background: #F8CDCD;}

Style chart elements:

.arc path { stroke: #fff;}

In a <script> tag set up your options.

var pieOptions = {labels: "name", units: "units", m: [80, 80, 80, 80], w: 600, h: 400, div: "#pieChart", hiColor: "#14ECC8"}

• labels is a string, usually a column header, it's what you call what you're charting
• units is a string, usually a column header, it's the value you're charting
• m is your margins: top, right, bottom, left
• w and h are width and height, this should match your CSS specs
• div is the id for the <div> in your HTML
• hiColor is the highlight color of your choosing!

Then call the d3PieChart() function with your data and options.
