Lately I’ve been working with graphing in SharePoint. I’ve had more success with HighCharts than d3.
D3, however, is fascinating and offers more possibilities for creating dynamic displays–It can build Web Pages from scratch–at least outside of SharePoint.
I have run into some roadblocks with d3. I have not been successful embedding a d3 script into a Wike or WebPart Page.
One way that I have been able to get a self-contained d3 script is: 1) Copy the d3 library to something local (did this with HighCharts as well) 2) create an aspx page in SharePoint Designer in the Page Library 3) embed the script in browser mode.
With this I haven’t been able to successfully get to a SharePoint Datasource within the d3 script through Rest API.
I don’t have this problem with HighCharts when I embed the script on a regular page.
Any gurus with ideas
