Table typetabletype

Specifies the type of the table data. "tab" (default) uses data namespace on commons, without the data: prefix. "query" sends request to wikidata query service.

Default
tab
Stringoptional
Tabletable

Data page name on Commons, without the Data: prefix. The table should contain xField column, like year or date, and one or more series columns to plot. If tabletype parameter is set to "query", this value is the query.

Stringrequired
X axis typetype

Type of the x axis - time (e.g. "2015-10" or "2013-03-08"), year (integer, but treated as a year), linear (numbers), ordinal (anything).

Default
year
Stringsuggested
X fieldxField

Id of the data column that contains values for the X axis. If type=year, xField is also "year" by default.

Stringrequired
Seriesseries

If each line is represented by a separate column of data (or if there is only one column), list of the data columns to show as lines. Must be in quotes, and listed by field IDs if coming from a .tab page: "field1", "field2", "field3".

Edit parameter translations


Wikipedia-specific options added to this template:

Parameter Description Type Status
Thumbnail thumb, 1 If set, will style the chart with a border that matches that used for image thumbnails Boolean optional
Location align, 2 Implements the left, right, center, and none alignment options as described at image thumbnails. Defaults to right if |thumb=true, otherwise defaults to none String optional
Caption caption, 3 Adds a caption under the image. if |hideSource=true, it should include a link to the source data. Otherwise, make sure to end the caption with a period so it will display correctly with the source data after it. String optional

Template calls can use the parameters by name, or they can be formatted similarly to normal image syntax. For example:

{{Graph:Lines | thumb=true | align=left
| caption=Per state GDP (via [[:Commons:Data:Bea.gov/GDP by state.tab]])
| table=Bea.gov/GDP by state.tab
| type=year | xField=year | legend=States
| series="TX","NY","CA"
| chartSizing=fit
| hideSource=true
}}
{{Graph:Lines | thumb | center | Per state GDP.
| table=Bea.gov/GDP by state.tab
| type=year | xField=year | legend=States
| series="TX","NY","CA"
| title=Per state GDP
| chartSizing=fit
}}
