Views Charts implements a new View style: charts. With it the use can present view data as charts.

Dependencies

Views Charts depends on Charts and Graphs and Views.

The Views GroupBy module provides important functionality that greatly enhances Views Charts usage. Please consider installing it with Views Charts.

Usage

This usage instructions were shamelessly stolen from Views GroupBy project page:

1. Create a new View
2. Add following fields:
   • Taxonomy: Term Term
   • Taxonomy: Vocabulary Name
   • Node: Nid Nid (and rename its label to Nid Count)
   • SQL Aggregation: Group By Fields Group By Fields (must be last field!)
3. Click on the "SQL Aggregation: Group By Fields" and configure its settings as follows:
   • Fields to Group On = 'Taxonomy: Term' and 'Taxonomy: Vocabulary Name' (both fields)
   • SQL Aggregation Function = Count
   • Fields to Aggregate with the SQL function = Node: Nid
   • Field to Sort Resultset On (after SQL Function is applied) = Node: Nid
   • Sorting Direction: Descending
4. Add a filtering criteria for the node type if you need to.
5. Add a page display to the view. Set the page path to views_charts_example_view

Test this view. You should get aggregated data per taxonomy term.

Lastly you only have to set the charting options:

1. In Basic settings change the Style to Charts and click the Update button
2. In the settings page choose:
   • For Fields to be used in Chart Series choose Node: Nid (Nid Count)
   • For Fields to be used as X axis labels choose Taxonomy: Term (Term)

That's it. Save the view. Views with Charts style can't be previewed. Open <http://www.example.org/views_charts_example_view> to see the chart.
