Freiheit Gruppe Uses AnyChart JS to Visually Organize Berliners’ Ideas for Berlin University Alliance
July 5th, 2023 by AnyChart Team
Data visualization is a game-changer when it comes to exploring and making sense of data. And here at AnyChart, we’re passionate about making the development of interactive charts a breeze. Our award-winning JavaScript charting library is not only trusted by the big players in enterprise data intelligence systems, with over 75% of Fortune 500 companies relying on it. It is a go-to choice for thousands of developers worldwide who want to easily create awesome visualizations for their – and their clients’ – websites and apps.
Recently, we discovered a stunning sunburst chart powered by AnyChart on the website of the Berlin University Alliance. This diagram effectively organizes the ideas submitted by Berliners within the framework of the #Berlinforschtmit project, which calls upon the local community to tip scientists regarding new research topics. These collective efforts aim to make significant contributions toward enhancing the quality of life in the city.
We’ve had the pleasure of having a quick conversation with Björn Knetter from Freiheit Gruppe, the team responsible for the design and technical implementation of #Berlinforschtmit. He told us more about this innovative initiative and how they leverage AnyChart for impactful data visualization. All aboard for our quick interview!

Yarra Hills Secondary College Uses AnyChart to Visualize Student Progress on Digital Data Wall
August 10th, 2021 by AnyChart Team
Leading the enterprise data visualization market, AnyChart is also widely used by not-for-profit organizations in sectors such as education. Stephen Blackwell from Yarra Hills Secondary College (Australia) has recently shown us another great example of such an application.
Data walls have become a widespread practice in schools across the globe, letting teachers track and benchmark student progress to create effective learning environment. In many cases, they are just physical. For Yarra Hills, Stephen created a digital one that supercharges the overview with the help of well-thought-out visualizations powered by our JavaScript charting library.
Stephen kindly agreed to tell us about his Digital Data Wall project and how AnyChart is implemented. Read our fresh interview below. As you can imagine the original web app is for internal use only, but if you want to take a glance here is a copy with de-identified student data (password anychArt) and this is an example of an individual student profile. (Stack: PHP/MySQL.)

AnyChart JS Charts Used to Visualize Data on Ancient French Riddles
June 30th, 2021 by AnyChart Team
As global leaders in data visualization solutions, we feel it is part of our mission to support educational and research projects by granting their authors a free license to use our products. Les Énigmes de Mercure (The Riddles of Mercury) by Timothée Léchot from the University of Neuchâtel (UniNE) is one such initiative we are proud to back on non-commercial terms.
Recently, we had a quick talk with Timothée and asked him a few questions to learn more about his project and experience visualizing data with the AnyChart JS charting library. Read our quick interview below. (Stack: PHP/MySQL.)

Connecting MySQL Database to JS Chart Using PHP
August 4th, 2020 by Wayde Herman
When using a charting library like AnyChart, which makes visualizing data so quick and easy, often the most challenging step for beginners is loading data. I think this is largely a result of the fact that while the ways we output the data are quite similar, the input data is commonly very different. The data may differ in many ways including the number of features in the dataset, what type these features may be, the format of the data, and how the data is stored. It is this final issue which we will be addressing today.
There is a lot of coverage in the documentation of using a data object declared within the code as well as importing your data from a file using AnyChart’s data loader. But what about importing the data from an SQL database? This is an easily done but often misunderstood approach to handling and loading data for data visualizations.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to use JavaScript to query a database because JavaScript is a client side solution and querying a database requires a server side approach due to security concerns — you just can’t store database login and password in your JavaScript code. There are many workarounds for this problem including approaches involving PHP, Ajax, Node.js, and many more. Today we will focus on using PHP to handle this task for us when our data is stored in MySQL.
In this tutorial, we will be covering how to query a MySQL database using PHP. We will describe the steps involved and reveal that it is in fact not challenging at all, just different!

JS Charting Without Borders: 21 New Integration Templates for Popular Stacks
December 19th, 2016 by AnyChart TeamMaking your data visualization life ever easier is what we at AnyChart are boundlessly passionate about. This time we focused on further simplifying the integration of our JS charting solutions into your web development environment.
So, prepare to replan your schedule! From now on, you will spend tangibly less time on charting. And please greet the 21 New Technical Integration Templates that we have just released! They will help you deploy HTML5 graphs, maps, stock charts, dashboards, and Gantt diagrams in your stack as easily (and rapidly!) as never before, no matter what programming languages, frameworks, and databases are used.
You can find the templates right here on our website, in the Technical Integrations section.
Basically, our powerful JavaScript/HTML5 based solutions for interactive data visualization – AnyChart, AnyMap, AnyStock, and AnyGantt – are inherently compatible with all major technologies and platforms. Configuring each JS charting library is easy, and we are sure all of you are more than capable of making even rather complicated integrations prefectly done by yourself. But we keep on doing our best to bring you the ultimate simplicity and clarity so you could get along without additional research and other time-consuming activities.
The integration templates we’ve added cover the most popular languages, frameworks and libraries, and database programs. Below is the list of the newly available combinations.
Templates for easily integrating AnyChart JS charting libraries into your stack:
 |
ASP.NET integration
|
 |
Go integration
|
 |
Java integration
|
 |
Julia integration
|
 |
NodeJS integration
|
 |
Perl integration
|
 |
PHP integration
|
 |
Python integration
|
 |
R integration
|
 |
Ruby on Rails integration
|
 |
Scala integration
|
We hope you agree that this is a tremendous addition to the JS charting integration samples published earlier:
- Clojure, ClojureScript and PostgreSQL,
- iOS, Objective-C and SQLite,
- NodeJS and MongoDB,
- PHP and MySQL,
- PHP, Slim and MySQL.
So, you are welcome to make use of our integration templates and samples for easier data visualization. All of them are released on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 License, rest in the AnyChart Integrations repository, and can be forked and changed in any way.
We are going to keep the collection growing further. Meanwhile, please send us your suggestions on what other particular integration you are interested to learn about first, and – as always! – that one will be prioritized; just contact our Support Team for that and name your stack.
To make your JS charting life even easier, we will release special AnyChart plugins for Angular, Ember, jQuery, Meteor, and React JavaScript frameworks in February 2017, with the 7.13.0 update. But this is a completely other remarkable story. Stay tuned. And thanks for being with us!
