M Chart

Manage your data via a spreadsheet interface or an accessible CSV import, display it as any of 19 chart types using the bundled Chart.js library, and embed it anywhere via a shortcode, or the block editor.

Features:

• 19 chart types — line, spline, area, column, stacked column, bar, stacked bar, pie, doughnut, scatter, bubble, radar, radar area, polar, treemap, boxplot, violin, venn, and euler
• Two ways to enter data — a spreadsheet UI (Jspreadsheet CE) with multi-sheet support, or a fully keyboard-accessible CSV import with configurable delimiters
• Live preview — the chart redraws instantly as you edit your data and settings, so you can see exactly what you’ll get before publishing
• Multiple output formats — render as a live interactive chart, a static image, or a plain HTML data table, all from the same chart
• Automatic image generation — every chart is captured to a real PNG image automatically (no headless browser or external service required)
  • Images have a configurable width and 1x–4x quality multiplier
  • Perfect for RSS feeds, emails, AMP pages, and anywhere JavaScript doesn’t work

  Note: Version 2.2 adds support for M Chart Pro which adds some additional premium features.

  For a detailed explanation of why M Chart Pro exists and what my plans are going forwards read Why M Chart Pro.

  The short version is that M Chart will continue to be supported and developed, I’ve been working on this plugin and providing it for free over 10 years now and that will continue to be the case.

  However, that support and development will continue to match my original scope for the plugin which was to provide an efficent and easy to use UI for managing datasets and displaying them as charts and nothing more. Because of my limited ability to devote time to development of M Chart I’ve had to intentionally not add some features that have been requested throughout the years. Not because those features were bad ideas, but because I couldn’t devote the kind of time necessary to do those features justice.

  M Chart Pro will be where I add those out of scope features as an addon to M Chart and since M Chart Pro will have a yearly subscription fee it will hopefully provide me with the financial stability to allow me to devote my time more fully to M Chart overall.

  Note: The M Chart Highcharts Library is deprecated and will not receive further updates. Chart.js now matches Highcharts feature-for-feature, supports additional chart types, works with M Chart Pro, is more performant, and isn’t burdened by expensive commercial licensing requirements. If you have Highcharts charts, M Chart offers a one-click migration to Chart.js.

  Accessibility: M Chart targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Charts on the front end include a visually-hidden data table for screen-reader users, and a Color Blind Safe theme is bundled. Screen-reader users entering chart data should use the CSV Import feature — the spreadsheet widget has partial keyboard support but CSV import is fully accessible.
