Attractive Charts with Open Flash Charts and Django
On request from a user, I've put together a sample django app that uses PyOFC2 to render charts in web browsers using Open Flash Charts 2.
The django+pyofc2 demo code can be downloaded from github.
Using PyOFC2 with Django
- Download Open Flash Chart 2
- Download and install PyOFC2
- Download SWFObject and put the files in your static media directory
- Add references to the SWFObject files and
open-flash-chart.swffile in the header section. Seetemplates/index.htmlfor details - Create a view to serve the json data from. See
demoapp/views.py - Configure
urls.pyto map the view to the url endpoint.
What are the facts? Again and again and again---what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what "the stars fortell," avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"---what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts! -- R.A. Heinlein
