Dynamically Generated Charts

Charts for the explorer are created dynamically directly from the CSV files in the _data directory (the same files you edit via the web spreadsheet interface). This means that if you decided to add another indicator on the Citywide Over Time page, you would simply add a line to that spreadsheet, making sure to fill the required fields:

  • Category
  • Indicator
  • dataType
  • and at least one data point, otherwise the chart would be blank.

The remainder of the fields are optional, and will only populate if they have content within.


#####This screenshot shows how fields are populated in the application:
