Ever wanted to include line charts, bar charts, doughnuts, pie, etc. in your notes? You may want to view a chart representation of your habits tracker or when you create notes. The Obsidian Charts plugin lets you include charts in your notes. You will also need Dataview to be able to query values. Let’s check how it’s done.
First, you need to install the Obsidian Charts Plugin.
Basic Usage
A code block of the type chart is used to generate a chart. The chart settings are set using YAML. The properties’ names are self-explanatory.
```chart
type: ""
labels: []
series:
- title: ""
data: []
- title: ""
data: []```
You can also use the graphical chart creator from the Command Palette, or even set a Hotkey to create simple charts. Just open the Command Palette and type chart.
