Charting with Django : three approaches

Charting with Django : three approaches

This is a belated (and hasty) post about a talk I gave in October 2013 at the Wellington branch of the New Zealand Python User Group.

Comparing three different charting libraries

In the talk I compared three different approaches to providing charts within a Django project.

The three different approaches used were :

Chartit
Django-Graphos
Chartkick

Sample code and slides

I built a Django project and an application for each of the three approaches and that code is available here : https://bitbucket.org/rshea/django-charts-demo .

The slides for my talk are available here as a PDF : https://s3.amazonaws.com/shearichard/django-with-charts.pdf

Conclusion in brief

If you’re only interested in my conclusion I would suggest Django-Graphos – read the slides for why.
