Installation

Quickstart

>>> import easytree

#let's create a chart configuration
>>> chart = easytree.new()
>>> chart.chart.type = "bar"
>>> chart.title.text = "France Olympic Medals"
>>> chart.xAxis.categories = ["Gold", "Silver", "Bronze"]
>>> chart.yAxis.title.text = "Count"
>>> chart.series.append(name="2016", data=[10, 18, 14])
>>> chart.series.append({"name":"2012"}) #list items recursively become nodes
>>> chart.series[1].data = [11, 11, 13]  #... as such, you can attach attributes

>>> chart.serialize()
