SVGGraph 2.12 - a PHP SVG graph library
Skip to:
SVGGraph is an object-oriented PHP library for creating simple PHP graphs, released as open source under the LGPL v3 license. Here are some examples of different types of graph supported by SVGGraph.
Download a copy of the library here: SVGGraph2.12.zip [118k] or SVGGraph2.12.tar.bz2 [61k].
If you are still using PHP4, then you should use version 1.2.1 of SVGGraph: SVGGraph.zip [35k] or SVGGraph.tar.bz2 [25k]. Please read the included README.txt file for the correct instructions for the earlier version.
This library provides PHP classes and functions for easily creating SVG graphs from data. As of version 2.0, SVGGraph works with PHP 5 only, PHP 4 support has been dropped.
Here is a basic example:
$graph = new SVGGraph(640, 480); $graph->colours = array('red','green','blue'); $graph->Values(100, 200, 150); $graph->Links('/Tom/', '/Dick/', '/Harry/'); $graph->Render('BarGraph');
This will create a SVG file containing a 640x480 bar graph with three hyperlinked bars.
Graph types
At the moment these types of graph are supported by SVGGraph - the class
name of the type of graph you want to generate should be passed to the
$graph->Render() or $graph->Fetch() function.
Bar graphs
| Class name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| BarGraph | Vertical bars, optionally hyperlinked. | |
| StackedBarGraph | Vertical bars, with multiple datasets stacked. | |
| GroupedBarGraph | Vertical bars, with multiple datasets grouped side-by-side. |
For more details and examples, see the bar graph page.
3D Bar graphs
| Class name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Bar3DGraph | A 3D-looking version of the BarGraph type. | |
| StackedBar3DGraph | 3D vertical bars, with multiple datasets stacked. | |
| GroupedBar3DGraph | 3D vertical bars, with multiple datasets grouped side-by-side. | |
| CylinderGraph | Vertical 3D cylinder-shaped bars. | |
| StackedCylinderGraph | Cylinder-shaped version of stacked bar graph. | |
| GroupedCylinderGraph | Cylinder-shaped version of grouped bar graph. |
For more details and examples, see the 3D bar graph page.
Horizontal bar graphs
| Class name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| HorizontalBarGraph | Horizontal bars, optionally hyperlinked. | |
| HorizontalStackedBarGraph | Horizontal bars, with multiple datasets in-line. | |
| HorizontalGroupedBarGraph | Horizontal bars, with multiple datasets grouped vertically. |
For more details and examples, see the horizontal bar graph page.
Line graphs
| Class name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| LineGraph | A line joining the data points, with optionally hyperlinked markers at the data points. | |
| MultiLineGraph | Multiple lines joining the data points in each data set, with optionally hyperlinked markers at the data points. | |
| StackedLineGraph | Multiple lines joining data points, with the values from different data sets added together. |
For more details and examples, see the line graph page.
Scatter graphs
| Class name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| ScatterGraph | Markers drawn at arbitrary horizontal and vertical points. | |
| MultiScatterGraph | Markers from multiple data sets drawn at arbitrary horizontal and vertical points. |
For more details and examples, see the scatter graph page.
Radar graphs
| Class name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| RadarGraph | A line joining the data points, measured from the centre point, with optionally hyperlinked markers at the data points. | |
| MultiRadarGraph | Multiple lines joining the data points in each data set, measured from the centre point, with optionally hyperlinked markers at the data points. |
For more details and examples, see the radar graph page.
Pie graphs
| Class name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| PieGraph | A pie chart, with optionally hyperlinked slices and option to fade labels in/out when the pointer enters/leaves a slice. | |
| Pie3DGraph | A 3D-looking version of the PieGraph type. |
For more details and examples, see the pie graph page.
Other miscellaneous graphs
These classes use structured data to produce more complex graphs.
| Class name | Description |
|---|---|
| FloatingBarGraph | A bar graph where the top and bottom of each bar use separate data points. |
| HorizontalFloatingBarGraph | A horizontal version of the FloatingBarGraph. |
| BubbleGraph | A scatter graph where the markers are replaced by filled circles, their areas coming from another data point. |
| BoxAndWhiskerGraph | A bar-like graph for displaying statistical distributions. |
For more details and examples, see the other graphs page.
