Protovis Loader is a plugin which faciliates the use of Protovis<\/a> scripts. Protovis is a javascript data visualisation library being developed at Stanford, which allows the creation of interactive charts on web pages.<\/p>\n

Incorporating Javascript code into WordPress posts can be tricky as it (deliberately) sanitises text typed into posts, which interferes with Javascript. When I first began experimenting with Javascript, this cause me some difficulties, as described in this post. In the end, I decided to roll up my sleeves and write a plugin to make the whole process a lot easier. Protovis Loader was the result.<\/p>\n

Protovis Loader makes the whole process a lot easier in two ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It ships with a copy of the Protovis javascript library and once the plugin is activated, links to the library will automatically be included in page headers.<\/li>\n
  2. It creates a shortcode called [pvis] which makes it very easy to include Protovis scripts in blog posts and pages.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Usage:<\/p>\n

    Simply use the [pvis] shortcode in your posts and pages where you want to include a Protovis chart. There are a number of optional parameters:<\/p>\n
