Chartlet<\/strong> is a lightweight, performance-focused plugin for creating beautiful, interactive charts and graphs via shortcodes.<\/p>\n\n

Stop bloating your database! Unlike other chart plugins that store every graph as a custom post type, Chartlet stores all configurations directly within the shortcode. This makes your site faster and your data easier to manage.<\/p>\n\n

Using the power of Chart.js<\/strong> (loaded locally for maximum privacy and GDPR compliance), Chartlet allows you to visualize data in seconds. Perfect for data journalism, financial reports, or simply adding a professional touch to your blog posts.<\/p>\n\n

Key Benefits:<\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  • Zero Database Bloat:<\/strong> No per-chart database entries. Everything lives in your content.<\/li>\n
  • Ultra Lightweight:<\/strong> Optimized for Core Web Vitals and speed.<\/li>\n
  • GDPR Compliant:<\/strong> No external CDNs. Chart.js is served directly from your server.<\/li>\n
  • Intuitive Builder:<\/strong> Create charts visually in your admin settings and get a shortcode instantly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Features<\/h3>\n\n
      \n
    • Multiple Chart Types:<\/strong> Choose between Bar, Line, Pie, and Doughnut charts.<\/li>\n
    • Live Shortcode Builder:<\/strong> Configure labels, data points, colors, and dimensions with a real-time generator.<\/li>\n
    • Fully Responsive:<\/strong> Charts automatically scale to fit any screen size (mobile, tablet, desktop).<\/li>\n
    • Smart Defaults:<\/strong> Set global brand colors and heights in the settings to keep your charts consistent.<\/li>\n
    • Custom Units:<\/strong> Add prefixes (e.g., $) or suffixes (e.g., %) to your data tooltips.<\/li>\n
    • Translation Ready:<\/strong> Fully compatible with multilingual sites.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      Usage<\/h3>\n\n

      Go to Chartlet \u2192 Generate<\/strong>. Use the visual builder to:\n1. Select your chart type.\n2. Input labels and data (separated by ,<\/code>).\n3. Customize colors, title, and height.\n4. Add a value suffix (e.g., %) or prefix (e.g., $).\n5. Click Generate Shortcode<\/strong>, copy it, and paste it anywhere!<\/p>\n\n

      Manual Shortcode Example:<\/strong>\n [chartlet type=\"bar\" labels=\"Jan,Feb,Mar\" data=\"10,20,15\" colors=\"#3366cc,#dc3912\" title=\"Revenue\" height=\"300\" prefix=\"$\"]<\/p>\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Upload the chartlet<\/code> folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n
      2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
      3. Navigate to Chartlet \u2192 Settings<\/strong> to configure your default styles.<\/li>\n
      4. Use the Chart Builder<\/strong> to generate a shortcode and paste it into any post or page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n

        Does this plugin affect site speed?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Hardly! We use a single, minified JS library and only load it when a shortcode is present. No database queries are required to render your charts.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Is it compatible with Block Editor (Gutenberg)?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes! Just paste the generated shortcode into a \"Shortcode\" block. (Advanced Gutenberg support is coming soon in the Pro version!)<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I use it for free for commercial sites?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Absolutely. Chartlet is licensed under GPLv2, so you can use it on any personal or commercial project.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
