How to use Additional Chart Types from Highcharts

Dave · July 7, 2016

HI,

Looking at highchart website i can see different type of charts no available in page builder and was wondering how hard/simple would it be to add & use those?

Example gauge: http://www.highcharts.com/demo/gauge-solid

Or maybe even those nice looking 3d charts: http://www.highcharts.com/demo/3d-column-stacking-grouping

If anyone has done anything similar please let me know details

Thx

Hi @Erik Ponnert, I polled the internal team on this and here's what I got:

In v1

You can accomplish this via a custom component
You could also linking out to a newer version of the HighCharts library (newer than the Skuid version) and call it using JS and a before render snippet, e.g. params.chart.type = 'waterfall'; (Higcharts API documentation is pretty robust)
For gant charts specifically, https://frappe.io/gantt is pretty cool

For v2 custom components... stay tuned
