After working out how to plot time-based data using Google charts API, I created a WordPress plugin to plot values stored in a custom field against the published-on date of WordPress blog posts that use the field.

Usage Example

I use this plugin to keep a track of my weight. I have a private WordPress journal with a custom field called “Weight (kgs)” and each week when I make my journal entry I fill in my weight in this custom field. I have page called “My Weight” which is empty but uses the Fotherplot Template.

The plugin outputs a image and a list of the relevant data, example:

  • January 17, 2009: 110.67kgs
  • January 10, 2009: 113.4kgs
  • January 3, 2009: 116.1kgs
  • November 5, 2008: 110kgs
  • October 18, 2008: 109.7kgs
  • October 8, 2008: 112.9kgs
  • August 30, 2008: 110.5kgs
  • July 17, 2008: 103.4kgs
  • April 8, 2008: 98.9kgs
  • March 10, 2008: 99.3kgs
  • February 11, 2008: 100.9kgs
  • February 4, 2008: 102.3kgs
  • January 28, 2008: 102.9kgs
  • January 20, 2008: 103.4kgs
