Django Report Tools aims to take the pain out of putting charts, graphs and tables into your Django projects. It provides a nice class-based framework to restore a little bit of elegance to your application's complex data views.
- Define your reports using the same syntax as Django forms and models
- Use built-in 'renderers' to avoid the hassle of dealing with various charting technologies (currently only the Google Visualization Toolkit is supported)
- Enter chart data in a standardised format
- Build a simple API, allowing for the creation of chart exports or a 'save to dashboard' feature.
The following example implements a report with a simple pie chart, rendered using the Google Visualization Toolkit.
from report_tools.reports import Report
from report_tools.chart_data import ChartData
from report_tools.renderers.googlecharts import GoogleChartsRenderer
from report_tools import charts
class MyReport(Report):
renderer = GoogleChartsRenderer
pie_chart = charts.PieChart(
title="A nice, simple pie chart",
width=400,
height=300
)
def get_data_for_pie_chart(self):
data = ChartData()
data.add_column("Pony Type")
data.add_column("Population")
data.add_row(["Blue", 20])
data.add_row(["Pink", 20])
data.add_row(["Magical", 1])
return data
