Graphing Data in the Table

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

To be honest, I don’t know ?? As this Extension has been developed by another developer and not by me, I simply don’t know everything about it. From what I remember, by default it plots the rows.

If there is one thing I noticed about this TablePress add-on:
The documentation is very sparse; AAAAND there is another piece of software
with the same name.

Incorporate this stuff into TablePress; ORRRR add graphing functionality??

Hi,

yes, the documentation doesn’t seem to be the best, but as I said above, I’m not the developer of that Extension and don’t have the power to extend or update it. I’m really sorry.
I also don’t have plans to integrate graphing directly into TablePress, as that would be beyond the intended scope of the plugin, in my opinion.

OK. Ideas then?
Is there another way to read this data from the table and plot it?

DOH!
Just a thought: Is there a nice way to cut the data in cols $a and $b
and drop them into WP QuickLatex and have Latex-TikZ do the work?
I can compile Latex-TikZ/PGF to PNG and embed the resulting PNG in my
page…

Hi,

unfortunately, I have no experience with these LaTeX solutions, sorry.
Your best chance probably is a graphing solution based on JavaScript where you use that JS to loop through the table cells on the frontend.

You did not answer the Q:
Is there a nice way to grab col $a and col $b
and drop them into an other window?

I have the WP QuickLatex code that works; I just need to get at the data
and hack that block of code up.

Possible solution to graphing problem…
An extract option. Extract $col_a and display it here; then extract $col_b
and set it here.
Each time I can then take the data and drop it in my code (or program/app)
and have it plotted and/or compiled to PNG format.

Hi,

for single cells, you could take a look at https://tablepress.org/extensions/table-cell-shortcode/

Alternatively, you’ll have to use PHP code, and directly use the TablePress functions that load a table, like

$table = TablePress::$model_table->load( $table_id );
