 * I would love for you to extend this plugins capabilities by adding charting, 
   or the ability to represent numbers in the chart as a charted images. Example:

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post. That’s indeed an interesting suggestion, and I’ve already
   been thinking about something like this.
    Unfortunately, I don’t see nice ways
   to implement this right now, so I’m not sure how I could add this 🙁

 * Do you think the new Plug-In Table2Chart would work with your tables?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for that link. I don’t know that plugin yet, but will take a look. Depending
   on what data sources the plugin supports, using a TablePress table for that could
   indeed be possible. It looks like you’ll need a license for the actual JavaScript
   code though.

 * Hi,
 * I just took a quick look at the description of the Table2Chart plugin. From what
   I understand, it just takes the data from a table on the page. So, using that
   with a table that was created by TablePress should not be a problem.

 * Hi,
 * note that charts as in your example don’t seem to be possible with that plugin,
   as charts can only be positioned outside of tables. Additionally, don’t forget
   that you seem to need a license to use the JavaScript code for that plugin (which
   is free for non-commercial use though, from what I can see).

 * Its a decent start, but it doesn’t seem to recognize decimal points. instead 
   of 98.67 it shows as 9,867

 * I did have to add a column to the table though that concatenates columns 1 & 
   2. It can’t be hidden either.

 * Hi,
 * very nice! Looks good indeed! I assume that the “Description” column is the extra
   column that you had to add.
    While you can’t hide that via the “Edit” screen 
   of TablePress (otherwise the information wouldn’t be available to Table2Chart),
   you can hide that via JavaScript. Please try adding
 *     ```
       "aoColumnDefs": [ { "bVisible": false, "aTargets": [ 4 ] } ]
       ```
   
 * to the “Custom Commands” textfield on the “Edit” screen of the table.
    The 4 
   indicates that the 5th column shall be hidden (counting starts with 0 in that
   code).
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Seems like if it is rendered on the page, the chart doesn’t work. Is there a 
   way to make the column width for that column 0?

 * Hi,
 * Bummer. No, reducing the width to 0 is not possible, but there’s another way 
   to hide the column, that could work:
    Please add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea
   on the “Plugin Options” screen:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-1 .column-5 {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
