[edit] What can this extension do?
gchart4mw is a mediawiki-extension for visualizing data in wiki pages. To do so it provides a couple of additional tags for embedding different chart-types. Possible charts are
- lines
- bars
- and pie-charts
The charts are drawn by using the Google Chart API.
All data for visualization is provided in CSV-style.
