A short introduction to this manual

Welcome to arcadiaCharts!

In the first part of this manual you will find basic tutorials which cover the most important topics to help you create and customize your first chart. There are separate articles for the JavaScript and the GWT Library. The second part of this manual consists of a more detailed reference. We recommend reading the basic tutorials, then deepening you knowledge of the features that you need for your project in the reference manual.

The basic tutorials cover:

  1. The first steps for creating a chart. Explained using the example of a bar chart , a line chart and a pie chart. You don“t need to read all three tutorials since most parts of these tutorials are interchangeable once you understood how chart-creation works in general.

Issues running the JavaScript library locally

You can encounter different issues while running the library locally without a webserver. Same-origin-policies of browsers like Internet Explorer and Google Chrome may completely stop running the scripts. Some built-in default paths may not be found. We strongly recommend using a web server like XAMPP for Windows or MAMP for MacOS for developing and testing your own charts.
