The Encodian population engine enables JSON data to be manipulated to produce charts.
The article provides detailed examples for creating the following charts.
Pie Chart
Example Document: Encodian - Template Syntax - Charts Pie.pptx
Example JSON data:
{
"Manager": [
{
"Name": "Steve",
"Contract": [
{"Client": "PulsePoint Technologies", "Price": "10000"},
{"Client": "SwiftSpark Innovations", "Price": "5000"}
]},
{
"Name": "Caroline",
"Contract": [
{"Client": "Everglow Enterprises", "Price": "60000"},
{"Client": "Alpha Catalysts", "Price": "1000"}
]},
{
"Name": "Adam",
"Contract": [
{"Client": "AlphaLink Dynamics", "Price": "20000"},
{"Client": "OptiGlobe Solutions", "Price": "10000"}
]}
]}
For this example we will show a pie chart with the contract prices summed for the individual managers.
Add a Pie Chart to your document and then configure it as follows:
1. <<foreach [in Manager]>> <<x [Name]>>
Please note this doesn't need a closing tag.
2. <<y [Contract.Sum(c => c.Price)]>>
This uses enumeration to get the total of each managers prices
This generates the following output:
Bubble Chart
Example Document: Encodian - Template Syntax - Charts Bubble.pptx
Example JSON data:
{
"HouseSales": [
{"Location": "72 Blue Steet", "SalePrice": 450000, "Date": "13/01/2024"},
{"Location": "13 River Avenue", "SalePrice": 200000, "Date": "21/06/2024"},
{"Location": "129 Oak House", "SalePrice": 150000, "Date": "01/04/2024"},
{"Location": "72 High Street", "SalePrice": 650000, "Date": "23/05/2024"},
{"Location": "23 Water End", "SalePrice": 400000, "Date": "05/01/2024"},
{"Location": "2 Willington Road", "SalePrice": 350000, "Date": "21/03/2024"},
{"Location": "43 Edward Gardens", "SalePrice": 500000, "Date": "08/02/2024"},
{"Location": "64 Grange Lane", "SalePrice": 300000, "Date": "12/05/2024"}
]
}
For this example we want to plot the house sales by month onto a bubble chart.
Add a Bubble Chart to your document and then configure it as follows:
1. <<foreach [in HouseSales.GroupBy(c => c.Date.Value.Month)]>> <<x[Key]>>
Using enumeration group everything by month. This then sets the x value of the chart to the month number.
If grouping by Month please make sure the culture name is set within the action; not doing this may result in incorrect results.
2. Total Sale Price <<y [Sum(c => c.SalePrice)]>><<size [Count()]>>
Sum up the sale prices of each month. And sets the size of the bubble based on how many houses are sold each month.
This generates the following output:
