Description

Add a charting library to JSPWiki for easy rendering data in TABLE's as line, pie- or bar-charts.
The charting library should provide well chosen defaults to keep the extra markup as little as possible.

Proposal:
Include https://gionkunz.github.io/chartist-js/  (MIT license) in the standard JSPWiki's distribution.

• small footprint  (10K zipped JS; only loaded in pages with require charts)
• usage of svg; high quality device independent
• highly customizable;  but using 'convention over configuration'  (great defaults)
• responsive  (great output on mobile devices)

 

Prereq: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-1040
