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 to replace the soon to be decomissioned Graphoid service.

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.

Graphoid service and Graph extension use  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).

Known bugs & limitations
Set the appropriate image-rendering property to solve.
 * tag/graph - Graph extension bugs
 * tag/graphoid/ - Graphoid service bugs
 * Fails to implement ISO 8601 timescales so only Gregorian calendars can be used in timelines
 * Image upscaling on most browsers can be blurry by default.

Internals
When parsing, the Graph extension expands all template parameters/expressions, and stores the complete graph definitions in the  page property, using graph hashes for IDs. This means you can easily locate a wiki's graphs with either [ Special:PageWithProps] or [//www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=pageswithprop&continue=&formatversion=2&pwppropname=graph_specs the action API].

The graph extension adds HTML to the page where graphs should go, a containing an  tag. Sample:

The tag's   attribute points to the #Graphoid service, which provides a [//www.mediawiki.org/api/rest_v1/page/graph/png/Extension%3AGraph%2FDemo/1686336/d243aa924db2f82926e0f317217fcce591fe8cd4.png static image of the graph].

If the Graph extension is configured for interactivity, and if the client browser has JavaScript enabled and is not a legacy browser to which ResourceLoader does not ship JavaScript, then the client browser renders graphs on the fly. 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. , Wikimedia wikis only enable this interactive rendering for edit preview.

You can configure the Graph extension to always use just the tag, and not add the Vega libraries or graph definition JSON. This mode will not work during editing, since  do not get updated until after the save. Once saved, the Graphoid service will be able to access the new graph definition via the action API.

Security features
can be configured to disallow referencing untrusted data sources (e.g. Wikimedia only allows data from the Wikimedia sites). It can also send extra headers whenever accessing external data, e.g.  header that MediaWiki uses to prevent CSRF attacks.

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.

wgGraphIsTrusted
If  (default), passes Treat-as-Untrusted:1 header with all graph data requests

wgGraphImgServiceUrl
A format string to form a backend service request URL for the &lt;img> tag. For example:

Would produce this URL:

//graphoid.wikimedia.org/mediawiki.org/v1/png/Extension:Graph/0/be66c7016b9de3188ef6a585950f10dc83239837.png /{domain}/v1/png/{title}/{revid}/{hash}.png

Parameters will be supplied in this order: 1=server, 2=title, 3=revid, 4=graph-hash-id. All parameters will be escaped with rawurlencode. If the value is  (default), no  urls will be generated

Other variables
wgGraphUrlBlacklist variable has been removed in 787d64a11 (7 Dec 2015).

wgGraphDataDomains has been removed in e0813f85a (28 Jan 2016). Use a wgGraphAllowedDomains instead.

wgGraphUserServiceAlways variable has been removed in b735f63ff4b (30 Sep 2015).

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

Graphoid service
Graphoid is a node.js  service that converts a graph definition into a static PNG image using the same Vega library code that runs in advanced browsers. The reason Graphoid was initially developed was to provide a static image so we wouldn't have to bundle Vega and d3 resource loader modules with every page response. See T211881 for more details. The service is available on the Wikimedia cluster at https://www.mediawiki.org/api/rest_v1/#/Page%20content/get_page_graph_png__title___revision___graph_id_.

You can install it yourself:

(note: this package is not being maintained (T211881, and installation may fail, see T196001, T239100. npm i --build-from-source may help.)

The service URLs contain the domain of the page (for example mediawiki.org), service version (v1), the title of the page with the graph (PageTitle), revision ID of the page (12345, but could be 0 for current), and a hash ID of the graph itself (also used in HTML page to identify graph definition), for example:

http://localhost:6927/mediawiki.org/v1/PageTitle/12345/a64b022a8fa5b7fc5e40a2c95cd0a114b2ae1174.png (deprecated url)

https://www.mediawiki.org/api/rest_v1/page/graph/png/Extension%3AGraph/3420825/72edc224f0a10b343c1e84f63dbfc97cac9bc957.png

You configure the Graph extension to use the Graphoid service in LocalSettings.php with a line like

Configure graphoid services


You can further configure the service via its config file.

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.
