Data Visualizer
Create charts by inputting data in an Excel-like format
Overview
The Labii Data Visualizer widget allows users to create charts by inputting data in an Excel-like format directly within Labii. Similar to Excel’s charting functionality, this widget transforms structured tabular input into visual representations such as bar charts, line graphs, or pie charts. Users can define rows and columns manually, making it ideal for visualizing custom datasets or ad hoc summaries that are not stored in existing tables. With its intuitive interface and flexible configuration, the Data Visualizer widget brings powerful, spreadsheet-style charting capabilities into your ELN or LIMS workflows.
