Template:Graph/doc

Module with helper functions for the Graph extension.

Creates a JSON object for  to display a political map with colored highlights.

Maps can be found at Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Graph/ and new maps should also be saved under Modul:Graph/.

Parameters:
 * basemap: sets the base map. The map definitions must follow the TopoJSON format and if saved in Wikipedia are available for this module. Maps in the default directory Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Graph/ should only be referenced by their name while omitting the Module:Graph/ prefix to allow better portability. The parameter also accepts URLs, e.g. maps from other Wikipedia versions (the link should follow the scheme of, i.e. protocol-relative without leading http/s and a trailing action=raw to fetch the raw content only). URLs to maps on external sites should be avoided for the sake of link stability, performance, security, and should be assumed to be blocked by the software or browser anyway.
 * scale: the scaling factor of the map (default: 100)
 * projection: the map projection to use. Supported values are listed at https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Geo-Projections. The default value is  for an equirectangular projection.
 * ids of geographic entities: The actual parameter names depend on the base map. For example, for the above mentioned world map the ids are ISO country codes. The values can be either colors or numbers in case the geographic entities should be associated with numeric data:  marks Germany in light blue color, and   assigns Germany the value 80.6 (population in millions). In the latter case, the actual color depends on the following parameters.
 * colorScale: the color palette to use for the color scale. The palette must be provided as a comma-separated list of color values. The color values must be given either as /  or by a CSS color name. Instead of a list, the built-in color palettes and can also be used.
 * scaleType: supported values are  for a linear mapping between the data values and the color scale,   for a log mapping,   for a power mapping (the exponent can be provided as  ),   for a square-root mapping, and   for a quantized scale, i.e. the data is grouped in as many classes as the color palette has colors.
 * domainMin: lower boundary of the data values, i.e. smaller data values are mapped to the lower boundary
 * domainMax: upper boundary of the data values, i.e. larger data values are mapped to the upper boundary
 * legend: show color legend (does not work with )
 * defaultValue: default value for unused geographic entities. In case the id values are colors the default value is, in case of numbers it is 0.
 * formatjson: format JSON object for better legibility

Creates a JSON object for  to display charts. In the article namespace the template Graph:Chart should be used instead. See its page for use cases.

Parameters:
 * width: width of the chart
 * height: height of the chart
 * type: type of the chart:  for line charts,   for area charts, and   for (column) bar charts, and   for pie charts. Multiple series can stacked using the   prefix, e.g..
 * interpolate: interpolation method for line and area charts. It is recommended to use  for a monotone cubic interpolation – further supported values are listed at https://github.com/vega/vega/wiki/Marks#area.
 * colors: color palette of the chart as a comma-separated list of colors. The color values must be given either as / /  or by a CSS color name. For   the   component denotes the alpha channel, i.e. FF=100% opacity, 80=50% opacity/transparency, etc. (The default color palette is [//github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Ordinal-Scales#categorical-colors  ]).
 * xAxisTitle and yAxisTitle: captions of the x and y axes
 * xAxisMin, xAxisMax, yAxisMin, and yAxisMax: minimum and maximum values of the x and y axes
 * xAxisFormat and yAxisFormat: changes the formatting of the axis labels. Supported values are listed at https://github.com/d3/d3-3.x-api-reference/blob/master/Formatting.md#numbers for numbers and https://github.com/d3/d3-3.x-api-reference/blob/master/Time-Formatting.md for date/time. For example, the format  can be used to output percentages.
 * xAxisAngle: rotates the x axis labels by the specified angle. Recommended values are: -45, +45, -90, +90
 * xType and yType: Data types of the values, e.g.  for integers,   for real numbers,   for dates (e.g. YYYY/MM/DD), and   for ordinal values.
 * x: the x-values as a comma-separated list (if a value itself contains a comma it must be escaped with a backslash, i.e. it needs to be written as )
 * y or y1, y2, …: the y-values for one or several data series, respectively. For pie charts  denotes the radiuses of the corresponding sectors.
 * legend: show legend (only works in case of multiple data series)
 * y1Title, y2Title, …: defines the label of the respective data series in the legend
 * linewidth: line width for line charts or distance between the pie segments for pie charts
 * showValues: Additionally, output the y values as text. (Currently, only (non-stacked) bar and pie charts are supported.) The output can be configured used the following parameters provided as :
 * format: Format the output according to https://github.com/d3/d3-3.x-api-reference/blob/master/Formatting.md#numbers for numbers and https://github.com/d3/d3-3.x-api-reference/blob/master/Time-Formatting.md for date/time.
 * fontcolor: text color
 * fontsize: text size
 * offset: move text by the given offset. For bar charts and pie charts with  this also defines if the text is inside or outside the chart.
 * angle (pie charts only): text angle in degrees or  (default) for dynamic angles based on the mid-angle of the pie sector.
 * innerRadius: For pie charts: defines the inner radius to create a doughnut chart.
 * formatjson: format JSON object for better legibility

Template wrappers
The functions  and   are wrappers to pass all parameters of the calling template to the respective   and   functions.

Note: In the editor preview the graph extension creates a canvas element with vector graphics. However, when saving the page a PNG raster graphics is generated instead.

Note to developers: New functionality can be tested with the Vega Editor, that also contains a large amount of example code.
