How to customize:
-----------------
pygal is customized with the help of the config class (see `config.py <https://github.com/Kozea/pygal/blob/master/pygal/config.py>`_). It can be changed in several ways:
.. pygal::
from pygal import Config
config = Config()
config.show_legend = False
config.human_readable = True
config.fill = True
config.x_scale = config.y_scale = 0.25
chart = pygal.XY(config)
from math import cos, sin, pi
a = 2 * pi / 5.
chart.add('*', [(cos(i*a+pi/2.), sin(i*a+pi/2.)) for i in (0,2,4,1,3,0)])
By instanciating it
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Just import the config class and instanciate it:
.. code-block::
from pygal import Config
config = Config()
config.show_legend = False
config.human_readable = True
config.fill = True
config.x_scale = .25
config.y_scale = .25
chart = pygal.XY(config)
...
By inheriting it
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Import the config class and override it:
.. code-block::
from pygal import Config
class StarConfig(Config):
show_legend = False
human_readable = True
fill = True
x_scale = .25
y_scale = .25
chart = pygal.XY(StarConfig())
...
Using keyword args
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
As a shorthand for a one shot config you can specify all config argument as keyword args:
.. code-block::
chart = pygal.XY(show_legend=False, human_readable=True, fill=True, x_scale=.25, y_scale=.25)
...
Size
----
`width, height, explicit_size`
The simplest and usefull customizations is the svg size to render.
It indicates the desired size of the svg.
.. pygal-code:: 200 100
chart = pygal.Bar(width=200, height=100)
chart.add('1', 1)
chart.add('2', 2)
You can also set `explicit_size` to True to add size attributes to the svg tag.
Scaling
-------
`x_scale, y_scale, include_x_axis`
Indicate a hint for the scale computation:
.. pygal-code::
chart = pygal.Line()
chart.add('line', [.0002, .0005, .00035])
.. pygal-code::
chart = pygal.Line(y_scale=.0001)
chart.add('line', [.0002, .0005, .00035])
You may want to always have the absissa in your graph:
.. pygal-code::
chart = pygal.Line(y_scale=.0001, include_x_axis=True)
chart.add('line', [.0002, .0005, .00035])
Title
-----
`title`
You can add a title to the chart by setting the title option:
.. pygal-code::
chart = pygal.Line(title=u'Some points')
chart.add('line', [.0002, .0005, .00035])
Labels
------
`x_labels, y_labels`
You can specify x labels and y labels, depending on the graph type:
.. pygal-code::
chart = pygal.Line()
chart.x_labels = 'Red', 'Blue', 'Green'
chart.y_labels = .0001, .0003, .0004, .00045, .0005
chart.add('line', [.0002, .0005, .00035])
Display
-------
`show_legend, show dots`
You can remove legend and dots by setting these at False
.. pygal-code::
chart = pygal.Line(show_legend=False)
chart.add('line', [.0002, .0005, .00035])
.. pygal-code::
chart = pygal.Line(show_dots=False)
chart.add('line', [.0002, .0005, .00035])
Rendering
---------
`fill, stroke, zero`
You can disable line stroking:
.. pygal-code::
chart = pygal.Line(stroke=False)
chart.add('line', [.0002, .0005, .00035])
And enable line filling:
.. pygal-code::
chart = pygal.Line(fill=True)
chart.add('line', [.0002, .0005, .00035])
To fill to an other reference than zero:
.. pygal-code::
chart = pygal.Line(fill=True, zero=.0004)
chart.add('line', [.0002, .0005, .00035])
Font sizes
----------
`label_font_size, value_font_size, tooltip_font_size, title_font_size, legend_font_size`
Set the various font size
.. pygal-code::
chart = pygal.Line(label_font_size=34, legend_font_size=8)
chart.add('line', [0, .0002, .0005, .00035])
Label rotation
--------------
`x_label_rotation, y_label_rotation`
Allow label rotation (in degrees) to avoid axis cluttering:
.. pygal-code::
chart = pygal.Line()
chart.x_labels = ['This is the first point !', 'This is the second point !', 'This is the third point !', 'This is the fourth point !']
chart.add('line', [0, .0002, .0005, .00035])
.. pygal-code::
chart = pygal.Line(x_label_rotation=20)
chart.x_labels = ['This is the first point !', 'This is the second point !', 'This is the third point !', 'This is the fourth point !']
chart.add('line', [0, .0002, .0005, .00035])
Human readable
--------------
`human_readable`
Display values in human readable form:
1 230 000 -> 1.23M
.00 098 7 -> 987ยต
.. pygal-code::
chart = pygal.Line(human_readable=True, y_scale=.0001)
chart.add('line', [0, .0002, .0005, .00035])
No data text
------------
`no_data_text`
Text to display instead of the graph when no data is supplied:
.. pygal-code::
chart = pygal.Line()
chart.add('line', [])
.. pygal-code::
chart = pygal.Line(no_data_text='No result found')
chart.add('line', [])
