MC_Google_Visualization: Google Visualization datasource with your own database
MC_Google_Visualization provides simple support for integrating Google Visualization charts and graphs with your own internal database.
It includes a complete parser for the Google Visualization Query Language, giving you the same ease of pivoting and formatting data from
your database as is currently possible with Google Spreadsheets., (*2)
It's a fork of https://code.google.com/p/mc-goog-visualization/., (*3)
Installing
Install via Composer:, (*4)
composer require ddebin/mc-google-visualization
Examples
Some examples can be found in the examples/ directory. Browse to examples/ to see the list. For these examples, PDO with SQLite3 support is required., (*5)
cd examples/
php -S localhost:8000
And then browse to http://localhost:8000/., (*6)
You must allow Flash content in local (cf. Note for Developers)., (*7)
Differences Between MC_Google_Visualization and Reference Query Language
MC_Google_Visualization tries to be exactly compatible with the query language defined by Google,
but writing this in PHP makes some choices easier than others., (*8)
Here's where there are still known incompatibilities between our implementations:, (*9)
The Google Visualization Query Language defines their formats as patterns supported by ICU.
Since PHP has no built-in support for these patterns, we instead use the default patterns provided by PHP. For "date", "timeofday", and
"datetime" fields, we use PHP date() formatting strings., (*10)
For number fields, we use a custom set of patterns that match the most common formatting styles. A format string of "num:x" runs the number
through number_format and shows x decimal places. The special format string "dollars" will prepend the string with a dollar sign and format
the number to two decimal places. The format string "percent" will multiply the number by 100, format it to one decimal place, and append a percent sign.
Anything else will be treated as a sprintf() format string., (*11)
