Extension:Graph/ru

Расширение Graph позволяет тегу строить визуализации данных, такие как гистограммы, круговые диаграммы, временные шкалы и гистограммы (демо) в формате JSON, который отображает график на основе Vega.

Общая информация
Расширение Graph позволяет добавлять яркие графики на основе Vega на вики-страницы. Графики могут быть как статичными, так и интерактивными.

Самый простой способ добавить график - использовать готовый шаблон, такой как. Эти шаблоны скрывают все сложности Vega. Опытные пользователи могут использовать Graph Sandbox для разработки графиков. Графическая песочница позволяет использовать синтаксис вики-шаблонов в дополнение к JSON.

User defined fallback
When using client side rendering, it is possible to use Wikimedia Commons to provide a static fallback image to  users. This is a temporary solution until a new service is put in place to provide server side rendering.

The user must first upload the static graph to Wikimedia Commons.

Fallback images have two variables  and.

relates to a Wikimedia Commons filename.

is the fallback images width in pixels.

These variables are pass through the graph in the following way:

Where lua modules are used such as Module:Graph then these variables can be provided via the tag function. If were adapted, it would look like this:

It would then be utilised in a template in the following manner:

If a fallbackWidth isn't provided but an image is defined then the extension will derive the width from the provided graph width. The reason for this is there is frequently a difference in the rendered image width and the actual image width.

External data
HTTP(S) protocol cannot be used to get data for the graph. Instead, use one of the custom wiki protocols like,  , and others.

Graph extension uses the  setting to control how these protocols are resolved: Note that because queries rely on the structure of wikibase items, they may suddenly stop working if the underlying data is edited and changes, as it may yield incomplete, empty or invalid data that can't be used to create a graph. In these cases the graph will end up empty (see T168601).

Internals
When parsing, the Graph extension expands all template parameters/expressions, and stores the complete graph definitions in the ParserOutput, using graph hashes for IDs.

The graph extension adds HTML to the page where graphs should go, a with a graph-id as the attribute. Sample:

The Graph extension adds an  ResourceLoader JavaScript module to the page that includes the Vega library, and puts the JSON of graph definitions into a JavaScript   variable named. Once the client has loaded this module, the Vega JavaScript library populates each with an HTML canvas and draws the graph in it, replacing the static image.

Security features
can be configured to disallow referencing untrusted data sources (e.g. Wikimedia only allows data from the Wikimedia sites).

License
Vega library is distributed under a modified BSD license acceptable under for us to use.

This appears to be a copy of the BSD license, with some minor (acceptable) modifications. It's not a problem for us to use it, although ideally they would not make changes like this to the license. It's better if people do not make these changes to their license, to avoid confusion (like this) about whether the license is safe for open-source use.

wgGraphAllowedDomains
See the section on external data.

Other variables

 * 2015 - wgGraphUrlBlacklist variable has been removed in 787d64a11.
 * 2016 - wgGraphDataDomains has been removed in e0813f85a. Use wgGraphAllowedDomains instead.
 * 2015 - wgGraphUserServiceAlways variable has been removed in b735f63ff4b.
 * 2019 - wgGraphIsTrusted variable has been removed in cf80f43e15.
 * 2020 - $wgGraphImgServiceUrl variable was deprecated.

Enabling Graph namespace
To store graph definitions as standalone pages in their own namespace, configure.

VisualEditor module
Since summer 2015, the Graph extension also comes with a module (ext.graph.VisualEditor) which enables graph editing within VisualEditor.

This module was a result of a Google Summer of Code 2015 project. See T89287 for more details.

This module allows users to see graphs within VisualEditor, as opposed to alien extension nodes. Furthermore, users can open up a dialog to edit a graph's type, data and padding. The UI also offers a way to edit a graph's raw JSON specification within VE without having to switch to the classic wikitext editor, in case more advanced users want to tweak settings not supported by the UI.

This first step serves as a stepping stone for many possibilities with graph editing within VisualEditor, and there are a lot of ways in which the module can be improved and expanded.

Troubleshooting broken graphs
Errors with graphs will be logged in the developer console.

Error: Bad constructor arguments (T277906)
To fix: Replace filepath:Earthmap1000x500compac.jpg with filepath:Earthmap1000x500.jpg

Example.

TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'datum.firstYear.value')
To fix: Make sure you have not set default as null

Example.
