Disgrifiad
Allows you to manage data sets via a spreadsheet interface and present that data in chart form via the Chart.js or Highcharts chart libraries. The charts can then be embedded into a regular post via a handy shortcode.
Note: Starting with version 1.8 the Chart.js library is no longer on the 2.x.x branch which introduces some breaking changes. This will probably only affect you if you were modifying the default Chart.js behavior in some way.
Note: Starting with version 1.7 Highcharts is no longer included with this plugin by default. If you’d still like to use the features that require Higcharts please install the M Chart Highcharts Library plugin before installing this update.
For full documentation please see the Wiki.
