But you have to add $1600 for web dev module which unacceptable and also the management of code is very hard

We have a nodejs module instead.

How does it work here?
And how much does it cost?

I will soon release a video on it.

this looks great, I’m sure it was a lot of work, unfortunately.
This is all in perspective?

I agree. I’ll take a correct chart over a pretty one any day of the week.

Yeah, that was all perspective controls

May I ask how you did the shadows on the buttons, charts, and gauges? I love the look of yours and would love to recreate them but cannot figure out how, I'm guessing its CSS but having a hard time finding out which values to add/alter to get it to look awesome like yours!! I also 100% agree they need to have better looking charts out of the box!

For base amcharts you will need to use CSS. You can inspect them and see the class names to override as well as just add to the style prop for the charts.

Its really just a matter of how in depth you want to go on styling.

I perfer using @bmusson chartjs module but I have more experience with chartjs from previous development roles.

Do you know of any youtube videos that walks you through how to set this up/ get started using the ChartJS? I tried to get it from GitHub but it only renders about 3 charts and can't figure out how to customize them. Thank you for your reply!

This is the page for the module with some examples, but chartjs has pretty extensive documentation and examples. You won't be able to find much about chartjs + Ignition but you should be able to apply the chartjs options etc to them.

I should also mention its a third-party module, so always make sure your customer and or employer is okay and comfortable with that. I may know how reputable Ben is, but they may not so please be mindful of that!

This topic is in the Maker category, FWIW.

All the Chart.js examples should match 1-to-1; the only examples that require rework are the ones with advanced interactivity (adding points, adjusting ranges, etc.).

If you’ve got any specific questions, throw them in the thread over here: Musson Industrial’s Embr-Charts Module

Hey, if anyone wants to pay us for support of their Maker installation, we’d be happy to oblige (assuming their use of Maker Edition falls within its terms and conditions) :laughing:.
