Jekyll Datachart

Jekyll Datachart is my first own jekyll plugin for octopress. You can easily embed data charts with pace, elevation and heart rate that you recorded in a data file (tcx, slf, gpx and kml later?).

##How it works

Installation / Configuration

To use this plugin you need coffeescript, add it to your Gemfile

source "http://rubygems.org"

group :development do
  gem 'coffee-script', '~> 2.2.0'
end

Then update your bundle

bundle

Second, you need Highcharts JS (Free for non-commercial)

http://www.highcharts.com/

Put the highcharts.js into your 'source/javascripts' directory.

Put the contents of 'plugins' in your 'source/plugins' directory and the contents of 'source' in your 'source' directory (just copy the directories if you don't have those directories yet).

Put the following configuration in your _config.yml

# data charting
datachart:
        dimensions:
                   width: 750
                   height: 200

Include {% include jekyll_datachart.html %} in your head.html

<head>
    ...

    {% capture canonical %}{{ site.url }}{% if site.permalink contains '.html' %}{{ page.url }}{% else %}{{ page.url | remove:'index.html' }}{% endif %}{% endcapture %}
    <link rel="canonical" href="{{ canonical }}">
    <link href="{{ root_url }}/favicon.png" rel="icon">
    <link href="{{ root_url }}/stylesheets/screen.css" media="screen, projection" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

    {% include jekyll_datachart.html %}

    <script src="{{ root_url }}/javascripts/modernizr-2.0.js"></script>
    <script src="{{ root_url }}/javascripts/ender.js"></script>
    <script src="{{ root_url }}/javascripts/octopress.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="{{ site.subscribe_rss }}" rel="alternate" title="{{site.title}}" type="application/atom+xml">
    {% include custom/head.html %}
    {% include google_analytics.html %}

    ...
</head>

Usage

Set the relevant values in your pages and posts (first version of this plugin understands only tcx files, next verson understands gpx and kml too):

datachart:
    files:
        - http://yourfirstfile.tcx
        - http://yoursecondfile.slf

Include the render_datachart tag in your posts:

{{% render_datachart %}

Optionally, you can specify the width and height:

{% render_datachart 500,500 %}

Supported data files

tcx: Training Center Database XML by Garmin
slf: SIGMA SLF file from SIGMA DATA CENTER 2.x

More formats: gpx and kml
