SYNOPSIS
In your config.yml:
Plugins:
- Chart:
DefaultRenderer: MyApp::Renderer
In lib/MyApp/Renderer.pm:
package MyApp::Renderer; use base qw/ Jifty::Plugin::Chart::Renderer /; sub init { my $self = shift; # Handle any required initialization, like required CSS, JS, etc. } sub render { my $self = shift; my %args = @_; # Output your chart Jifty->web->out( #{ Output your chart here... } ); # You could also return it as a string... return; }
METHODS
Your renderer implementation must subclass this package and implement the following methods:new
This is the constructor. Don't override this directly. Instead implement ``init''.init
$renderer->init();
This is called by "new" immediately after constructing the object. It is passed a param hash from the config file. Subclasses should implement this method to do any required initialization such as letting Jifty know about required CSS files, JS files, etc.
render
Jifty->web->out($renderer->render(%args));
See Jifty::Plugin::Chart::Web for the arguments. It must (at least) accept the arguments given to the ``chart'' in Jifty::Plugin::Chart::Web method.
The "render" method may either return it's output or print it out using Jifty::Web::out.
