Each chart has a
.load()
method that takes the same options as a normal Request.JSON object. Except for the onSuccess method which is used by MilkChart to process the incoming data. Data needs to be in the form of:{ "title": "My Chart", "colNames": ["Internet Explorer", "FireFox"], "rowNames": ["Q1", "Q2", "Q3", "Q4"], "rows": [ [1,2], [3,4], [5,6], [7,8] ] }
title
is optional.Each chart types also has a
.switchAxes()
method which swaps the column and row data.
