With wpDataTables 6.0, say hello to the Region GeoChart, Marker GeoChart, and Text GeoChart! If you’re unfamiliar with them, we hope the examples below will help you. GeoCharts uses a Google Maps API key. For a complete tutorial on how to set it up, please visit our documentation page and follow our step-by-step instructions.
Region GeoChart:
The Region GeoChart is a powerful addition to wpDataTables, allowing you to create interactive maps that display data based on geographical regions. Whether you want to visualize sales by country, analyze population distribution, or track the spread of your product across different states, the Region GeoChart has you covered. Now you can see your data come to life on a map, making it easier to identify trends and make informed decisions.
Marker GeoChart:
Need to pinpoint specific locations on a map? The Marker GeoChart has got you covered. This feature enables you to place markers on a map to represent individual data points, making it ideal for displaying data related to locations, events, or customer distribution. Whether you’re mapping store locations or tracking the journey of your sales team, the Marker GeoChart simplifies data visualization.
Text GeoChart
Sometimes, simplicity is key. The Text GeoChart provides an elegant solution for displaying location-based information without the need for complex graphics. This feature allows you to label specific regions or locations with text, making it perfect for creating data-rich, informative maps without visual clutter. If you need to convey information quickly and clearly, the Text GeoChart is your go-to tool.
Transform cell values
Unleash the power of data customization with the new Transform Cell Values feature, available from wpDataTables 6.0. This game-changing tool allows you to consolidate values from multiple columns into a single cell effortlessly. Moreover, it lets you seamlessly concatenate any column’s value, turning it into valid HTML for a dynamically computed display. Whether you’re streamlining information or enhancing visual appeal, Transform Cell Values puts the control in your hands for a more tailored and impactful data representation. If you’re not sure what this does, just head to our documentation page where you’ll find a detailed explanation and more examples to help you out.
