Displaying charts/graphs in Unity

Unity Engine
1

I have a cross-platform project that is collecting a bunch of different data. Currently I display that data in text table format in Unity, but I’d like to get some nice visualizations as charts/graphs. Basically, I’d like some kind of system where I could give it the type of chart/graph I want, the data I want displayed, and it gives me back an image which I can then display in Unity. I figure there are two possibilities: Some kind of C# library that can be integrated into my project, or some kind of web service that I can send data to.

Does anyone know of an easy/best way to do this?

I’ve seen others mention the Google Chart API, but after reading about it it sounds like it’s a Javascript solution intended to run in a browser. It doesn’t sound like it could work with Unity.

I’ve made a XML diagram that showed the data in a editor window a while ago, let me know it you wanna get the code :slight_smile: (It’s kinda messy though) I simply took the data via XmlDocument and stored it in a array, iterated though all data and draw a line between last point and current point :slight_smile: It was easier than I thought

Thanks, but this is something I need in the end-user build, not the editor.

Bumping this… nobody else has needed to implement charts/graphs?

Not sure if it’s exactly what you had in mind, but you can make some kinds of graphs in Vectrosity quite easily.

Bar charts can be done simply with thick lines. Pie charts, not so much…

Thats awesome, does vectrosity have any graph examples like this…I need Exactly this above!!

Thanks in advanced!

Thanks Eric…Vectrosity was exactly what I needed.

Ah, thanks Eric. Sorry, had missed your reply earlier.

Yeah, Vectrosity could work, specifically for the line drawing bit… but I was hoping for some sort of more turnkey solution where you, for example, just provide a set of x/y data points and a desired graph type (e.g. - line) and the solution will figure out the scaling, min/max, axis labeling, etc. and create the fully labeled chart. I think that’s how Google’s Charts API works but I’ve never actually used it.
