Echarts for iOS

Echarts is a powerful data visualization library developed by Baidu. It allows users to create interactive and customizable charts for various types of data. One of the great features of Echarts is that it provides support for iOS, allowing developers to integrate Echarts into their iOS applications.

Getting Started with Echarts for iOS

To start using Echarts for iOS, you need to first install the Echarts framework using CocoaPods. Here's an example of how you can do this in your Podfile:

pod 'ECharts-iOS'

After installing the Echarts framework, you can start creating beautiful charts in your iOS app.

Creating a Travel Map using Echarts

Let's create a simple travel map using Echarts. We'll use the journey keyword from the Mermaid syntax to represent the travel journey on the map.

journey
    title Travel Map

    section Start
        City(A)
    section Middle
        City(B)
    section End
        City(C)

In the code above, we have defined a simple travel map with three cities - A, B, and C. You can customize the map further by adding more cities and connecting them with lines to represent the travel route.

Creating a Gantt Chart using Echarts

Another common use case for data visualization is creating Gantt charts. Let's create a simple Gantt chart using Echarts. We'll use the gantt keyword from the Mermaid syntax to represent the Gantt chart.

gantt
    title Project Schedule

    section Planning
        Task1 :done, task 1, 2022-01-01, 30d
        Task2 :active, task 2, 2022-02-01, 30d
    section Implementation
        Task3 :done, task 3, 2022-03-01, 30d
    section Testing
        Task4 :active, task 4, 2022-04-01, 30d

In the code above, we have defined a simple Gantt chart with four tasks - Task1, Task2, Task3, and Task4. You can customize the Gantt chart further by adding more tasks and adjusting the start and end dates.
