Inspired by Pierre.Vriens and his extensive Comparison of Charting modules, I wrote this extension on native charting modules that depend on the Highcharts library.

Used by tens of thousands of developers and 61 out of the world's 100 largest companies, Highcharts is the simplest yet most flexible charting API on the market.

Native charting modules are modules that support the creation of charts, but which do not depend on other modules to produce such charts. These modules may depend on other Drupal modules (e.g. the libraries module), but these other modules are not related to the charting features they offer. Typically these native charting modules use one or more charting related libraries (e.g. Highcharts, Google Charts, D3...)

In this book page we compare modules that depend on Highcharts.

  • dynamic charts possible (through csv-data served from a url)

  • configurable visual editor, nearly every single option in Highcharts is available
  • no coding needed at all
  • You can insert a chart above any numeric HTML table on any page with a single click. Whether the table was embedded into normal content using a WYSIWYG editor (CKeditor perhaps), produced by a Views plugin, a Webform results summary, it doesn't matter.
  • no coding needed

 
  • out of the box support for Google Charts and Highcharts
  • the module includes lots of example charts for you to reference when building your own charts or chart library integration.
