Question 1

How to customize colors in Peity charts?

Accepted Answer

Peity allows color customization through options like 'fill' for charts; refer to the documentation at benpickles.github.io/peity for specific examples on setting colors per chart type, such as for pie or line charts.

Question 2

Peity vs Chart.js: which is better for simple charts?

Accepted Answer

Peity is ideal for lightweight, inline charts in jQuery projects with minimal setup, while Chart.js offers more features and framework independence but with higher complexity and size. Choose based on your project's dependency and charting needs.

Question 3

Can I use Peity with React?

Accepted Answer

It's not recommended; Peity relies on jQuery for DOM manipulation, which conflicts with React's virtual DOM and state management. Consider React-specific charting libraries like Recharts for better integration.

Question 4

How to update data dynamically in Peity?

Accepted Answer

Update the element's content using jQuery and reinitialize the chart; for instance, change the text with $('.line').text('1,2,3') and call $('.line').peity('line', { refresh: true }) to refresh the visualization.

Question 5

What are the options for Peity bar charts?

Accepted Answer

Options include bar width, spacing, and colors; check the official documentation for a full list, as it provides examples like setting 'width' and 'height' for customization.

Question 6

Is Peity still actively maintained?

Accepted Answer

No, the last update was in 2020, so it might not be actively developed. For current projects, consider alternatives like Chart.js or D3.js that are regularly updated and have larger communities.
