How To Install And Use NiceCharts

Postby ademalsasa » Tue Dec 15, 2015 5:56 pm

I've realized that chart is very important thing to create automatically in Inkscape. I've found NiceCharts extension, now I want to share how to install it. I'd say thank you to Christoph Sterz and Florian Weber[1] for creating this extension.

Install NiceCharts Extension

1. Download the source code .tar.gz from https://launchpad.net/nicecharts.
2. Extract it so you have 3 files: 2 .py and 1 .inx.
3. Copy all 3 files into ~/.config/inkscape/extensions (Linux) or any corresponding "extensions" directory in Windows and Mac OS X.
4. Restart Inkscape.
5. Find NiceCharts on menu Extensions > Render > NiceCharts.

2. Enter this CSV code into Data > direct input section on NiceCharts window: Asus:40,Acer:30,HP:20,Dell:8,Axioo:9
3. Select Chart Type: Pie Chart.
4. You will produce a pie chart like this.

Okay, actually this post is a continuation for my old forgotten post[2]. Thank you.

Hi - I've updated the extension to work with current Inkscape 0.91 (the version you link to only works with versions under 0.91, and on your screenshot I see you still use the old version).

Find the updated extension here: https://github.com/Moini/NiceCharts/tree/patch-1

Oh - the original has already been updated. It will currently *only* work with 0.91, no longer with 0.48. I've told Florian Weber about a way to make it compatible to both versions.
