Native charts

Native charts define how to create graphical visualizations from numerical data within your text editor. The format defines:

• the dataset to be used for the visual display and

• several different types of graphical displays

  • such as line charts, pie charts, etc.

The following 2 docs contain examples how to create a pie chart within an ODT document and a line chart within a DOCX/PDF document, respectively:

• Create dynamic charts in Microsoft Word

• Create dynamic reports in LibreOffice

Compatibility

• ✅ supported file formats: DOCX, ODT, PDF. DOCX/ODT templates can generate DOCX/ODT/PDF documents

• ✅ create charts only from your text editor (Microsoft Word or LibreOffice); insert the data series in the XLSX/ODS sheet provided by your text editor

  • ❌ charts cannot be copy-pasted from an external XLSX/ODS file

  • ❌ external spreadsheets cannot be linked as dynamic series of data

• ❗in LibreOffice, the {bindChart()} tag is required

  • learn more in Create dynamic reports in LibreOffice

• ❗ chart styling (titles, colors, captions, etc.) can only be defined within the text editor

  • ❌ styling from a JSON dataset cannot be edited, unlike ECharts 5 charts
