To make a Simple Bar Chart with
pyhtmlchart. Follow the given code below:
import pyhtmlchart as chart
bar_chart = chart.bar_chart.BarChart(location='bar', title='Chart')
columns = ['Time', 'Number1', 'Number2']
all_data = [[1, 200, 300], [2, 500, 400]]
bar_chart.add_data(data=all_data, data_titles=columns)
bar_chart.open()
The above code will open the following chart in the browser:
Explanation:
- The First line imports the library.
- The Second line creates a chart object from the chart.bar_chart.BarChartclass already defined in the library!
- The Third line is a columns list which contains all the columns to be added to the chart. Take a note that the first item in the list will be used for X axis of the chart.
- The Fourth line is a nested list data which contains all the data. Make sure that the list should be nested and contain the data to be added. Also the length of the columns should be equal to the length of a list in the nested data list as given in the above code.
- The Fifth line is to add the data to the chart where data= the data to be added and data_titles= the columns to be added.
- The Sixth line is to open the saved chart automatically. If the chart is not opened then go to the given save location and open it.

columns = ['Time', 'Number1', 'Number2']
all_data = [[1, 200, 300], [2, 500, 400]]
bar_chart.add_data(data=all_data, data_titles=columns)
bar_chart.enable_auto_update(time=5000)
bar_chart.open()
i = 3
while True:
data = [i, random.randint(1, 1000), random.randint(1, 1000)]
bar_chart.update_data(data=[data], append=True)
i += 1
