This plugin takes advantage and extends through Python the Html Annotations of QGIS to give them more functionality, display graphs, respond to events. ### Charts and indicators available So far the plugin has four types of panels:
- Text panels: they display a value or indicator of a dataset or spatial query. This panel although simple, presents the widest variety of styles and configurations. The value displayed can come from a statistical summary of a dataset or a spatial query. The spatial query options will vary depending on the geometry of the layer being queried. If it is a polygon layer you can query the contained entities belonging to another layer, you can also query the entities contained at a specified distance from the selected entities of the polygon layer (buffer). If it is line or point you can only query the contained entities of another layer at a specified distance from the selected entities.
- Bullet chart also called 'bullet' or 'speedometer' chart, similarly to the text panel it displays a value or indicator, but in a context that facilitates its interpretation, the user must specify a range within which the value is expected to oscillate, plus a threshold value, after which the condition is considered unfavorable or favorable.
- Bar Chart can display a bar chart of a numeric field given the categories of a text field in the attribute table. You can also generate the chart from a set of numeric fields present in the attribute table. As for the style you can configure colors and text sizes, you can also assign a color to the bars or use one of the available color palettes. .
- Line chart by means of this chart you can represent a set of data presenting a chronological sequence. It presents similar style configuration options to the bar chart. You can plot only points if you set a line thickness equal to 0, lines of the specified thickness or filled areas.
