Is generating Anychart Qlik extension chart objects possible? - qliksense

We are looking at a solution involving generation of chart objects using the Anychart Qlik Sense extension.
This would be similar to using:
https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/June2019/Subsystems/APIs/Content/Sense_ClientAPIs/CapabilityAPIs/VisualizationAPI/VisualizationAPI.htm
to generate native Qlik charts.
Does anyone know if this is possible ?
Thanks

How to integrate ECharts with BIRT/Pentaho?

I'm looking for a report engine which may:
connect to data source via JDBC
create logic data set by grouping/aggregating the raw data
include a data filter on the top of each report, which allows my client use the report interactively
add custom charts, in my case, it's ECharts https://github.com/ecomfe/echarts
support multi-tenancy paradigm (new requirement)
Now BIRT and Pentaho are the two players on my table.
For pentaho, it's really hard to find useful document to at least clarify if it's capable. Please if you're familiar with it, let me know if pentaho community version meets my requirements.
For BIRT, I've found evidence it support my first 3 needs. But for custom charts, I can only find examples/docs about adding custom IMAGE/SVG charts. As ECharts is based on canvas, I'm not sure if it's possible to integrate ECharts with BIRT.
Thank you!
Yes, it is possible to integrate javascript charts in BIRT. Basically:
Select the top-level element of your report outline -> Script tab -> clientScripts
Include here your echart resources (.js and .css) using "head.js" (see link below for more informations)
Add a text element to the report
Set the type of this new element to 'HTML'
In a script tag, initialize your echart object in a "head.ready()" instruction (see link below for more informations). The tricky part is to understand how to use a server-side dataset in a client-side chart within this html script.
You can find more informations and a full example of a such report here, this example embeds a jvectormap in a birt report. Furthermore, see a live demo here, where a JIT chart is integrated in a BIRT report.
However since these charts are created using a client-side framework, obviously BIRT won't be able to export them in PDF format. You can see in the live demo linked above, how a BIRT report can easily handle a different output when users export to PDF.
You can do it in Pentaho, but which tool to use it's a matter of debate.
Using Pentaho Report Designer:
- Connects to DBs using JDBC;
- Allows grouping rows based on a field or fields and calculating functions such as running sums;
- Can use selectors (single or multi-valued selectors) to interact with the report, passing the selector values to the queries;
- As far as I can tell, you don't have many options to choose a specific charting engine.
However, you can use CCC as the charting engine, which is a Protovis based Javascript charting engine, cross-browser compatible (for the most part), renders SVG charts with a decent fallback for IE (I believe the fallback is flash but I'm not sure if it changed recently) and produces decent looking charts.
If you HAVE to use that chart library, then I suggest using C-Tools dashboards instead, where you can embed as many different JS files you want and you have full control over the JS and CSS of the page. But most of the reporting functions from PRD will have to be implmented by you.

Drill down Fusioncharts PHP class

Can anyone tell me how do i create drill down fusioncharts using PHP class wherein all the data is present in one file and i can link the chart to the another chart present in that same file?
You actually need to create LinkedCharts (as per FusionCharts coined it). PHPClass does not allow you to create the data for the LinkedCharts. You would need to create the data using
your own PHP code and the pass the data to the chart.
Also, to change chart type, you would need to add JavaScript LinkedChart configuration.

Is there a good iPhone pie chart library which will produce good look 3d pie charts?

I can't find a library which will produce good looking 3d pie charts for the iphone?
I had a look at the core plot wiki and their pie didn't look that good...
There's an open-source class called BNPieChart available in the moriarty library which can produce pie charts like this:
(source: bynomial.com)
And also much smaller versions of course. There's a post about it here.
Besides NBPieChart proposed above, have a look at XYPieChart it is a really good open source pie chart that looks very nice, are extremely simple, and contains animation for adding slices. Look at the screenshot of the demo project included:
There's also Fusion Charts, which is now HTML5. http://www.fusioncharts.com/
Core Plot has been recommended in other postings here on stackoverflow. It supports many standard data visualizations, including pie charts.
The Google Chart API is pretty good/popular.
http://code.google.com/apis/chart/ You will need a network connection though.
If you want iOS native charting library you should check ShinobyControls.
If you want web-based, and also amazingly good charting library, maybe HighCharts is the way to go.

Advice for building simple bar chart, but with custom styling

I have some data that is displayed in a bar chart, using Google's Visualization API. Was simple enough until designers redesigned it... Now it appears to be something that is beyond what Google can help me with.
Given the attached mockup (and note the finer details like reflection and gradients!)- how would you go about building it? Using some existing graphing libraries? Homebrew from the ground up?
Thanks for any advice.
If you need to adhere to the custom design requirements as depicted in the image above, I would build a charting application using a more generalized graphics library such as Rapheal.
While it doesn't provide a simple API for plugging data into a chart, it does provide the ability to build a chart with the following:
a variety of shapes (i.e. the bars)
gradients
embedded images (i.e. the background)
You can change the visual effect using CSS.
Ofcourse you can use chuckx recommendation of Rapheal which is a SVG based Javascript Library. It can accept JSON values so say if you have JSON from Google API you could feed in directly.
Option 2 : HTML Canvas. There are lot of HTML 5 canvas libraries like Kinect, fabric.js powerful javascript canvas libraries
