IPU-Chart has many options to style a chart. Add your own color palette or use the functions to generate color palettes that come with the plugin.

= Features =

* Creates bar, line, pie, donut, scatter, bubble and world map charts
* Supports data in json, csv or tsv format (Excel, Numbers)
* Lets you enter the data directy in a blog or page
* Loads the data from a remote service (database)
* Updates the data automatically if desired
* Has many options to style a chart with css or built-in color functions

= Usage =

To display a bar or line chart inside a post or page add a div element with an id (that’s where the chart will be rendered) and enter the template configuration inside the [ip4] shortcode.

Data defined inside the document:
<pre><code>
<div id="kcal" style="width:90%; font-size:0.8em"></div>
...

[ip4]{
    "template": ip4.barChart(),
    "parentElement": "#kcal",
    "data": {
        "reader": ip4.dataReader()
            .data([ {"x": "Apple", "y": 55 },
                    {"x": "Avocado", "y": 145 },
                    {"x": "Banana", "y": 95 },
                    {"x": "Grapefruit", "y": 30 },
                    {"x": "Kiwi", "y": 55 } ])
    },
    "d3": {
        "yLabel": "kilo calories (kcal)"
    }
}[/ip4]
</code></pre>

<pre><code>
<div id="kcal" style="width:90%; font-size:0.8em"></div>
...

[ip4]{
    "template": ip4.barChart(),
    "parentElement": "#kcal",
    "data": {
        "reader": ip4.dataReader()
