Where might I find documentation on using graph support in templates?

Let me get some documentation added that covers how to use it.

I was also looking for documents on this.
The government puts out a weekly natural gas storage report ( updates Thursdays)
They have this url of just the weekly raw data
http://ir.eia.gov/ngs/wngsr.txt
I can add it to my site using an iframe BUT I prefer to format it as a table or chart somehow which seems difficult if I use the iframe

I was wondering if this Graph Support Module might be the answer- the template seems to use some of the javasript that I am thinking would be needed to make this work- so just looking for docs to see IF it can be done using the module- then HOW

I want this set up somehow using their URL so I do not have to manually update the data each Thursday

Problem with Iframes is that this is an external URL...
Thanks

Are you able to get it in any other format than a .txt file? because its hard to re-format an un-formatted document.

If they provide the data as a .json structure, then you would need a module to read it, then you could output it however you liked.

The key is to save the data to your datastore, so you have historic data too. an iframe is gone when they update their site.

--edit--
Perhaps even use aparna and the Form Designer to create that form, then enter it manually yourself every thursday. Nicer to not have to manually enter it, but there's not a lot of data there.

They have a json response:
http://ir.eia.gov/ngs/wngsr.json

Is the data you want in the text file also in that json?

Yes Thanks UJ- there is this json- a txt and a csv all from URL

The json actually contains more data than the txt summary and I would prefer it( more is always better in my world)

Yes I used to do a bunch of Updates on Fridays when reports and rig count information for the week became available- did it for several years but have moved away from that

I am looking for way to make content update on my site when its updated on the Government site http://ir.eia.gov/ngs/ngs.html

I am thinking that is the reson the files are provided- just have to figure out to use them

You can see the files in the upper right of this page/chart
