Radar Charts based on several form fields

Several users contacted us with radar type chart features requests. In order to improve radar charts, MaxiCharts introduced a new way of generating those (quite special) charts, based on the use of several fields of the input form.

Parameters

This new processing implies two different parameters:

datasets_field : datasets_field="1"
include : include="2,4,5,6,7,8,9,11"

datasets_field

is new and is used to create datasets for the resulting radar chart. Each new value set to this field (a dropdown field for example) will add a new dataset to the final chart. In the example above, all answers to field number 1 will add a new dataset to chart.

include

is the usual parameter to specify included field ids in the chart report, but is used in a totally different way, as soon as the previous parameter is set: it uses labels of thoses fields to create axis for the radar chart, and values of those field ids to chart answers for a specific dataset (an answer of field set in datasets_field).

Let’s see an example chart!

[gfchartsreports color_set="d310" gf_form_id="14" datasets_field="1" include="2,3,4,5,6" type="radar" height="600px"]

You’re right, I’m now able to have a radar chart but don’t manage to configure it correctly

I have 2 questions with ID 2 and 3
Each question has 4 radio answers with values : 0, 1, 2, 4
I want both answers on the same radar
Could you help me to configure le shortcode ?
Thanks

[gfchartsreports color_set="d310" gf_form_id="your_form_id" datasets_field="dataset_field_name" include="2,3" type="radar" height="600px"]
Your dataset_field_name parameter should be the dataset reference : each answer of this field with a different value, will add a new dataset to radar. Values used for dataset will be the answers of fields 2 and 3 (each one creating an axis on the radar chart)
