<p>Protovis Loader is a plugin which faciliates the use of <a href="http://vis.stanford.edu/protovis/" rel="nofollow ugc">Protovis</a> scripts. Protovis is a javascript data visualisation library being developed at Stanford, which allows the creation of interactive charts on web pages.</p>
<p>Incorporating Javascript code into WordPress posts can be tricky as it (deliberately) sanitises text typed into posts, which interferes with Javascript. When I first began experimenting with Javascript, this cause me some difficulties, as described in this post. In the end, I decided to roll up my sleeves and write a plugin to make the whole process a lot easier. Protovis Loader was the result.</p>
<p>Protovis Loader makes the whole process a lot easier in two ways:</p>
<ol>
<li>It ships with a copy of the Protovis javascript library and once the plugin is activated, links to the library will automatically be included in page headers.</li>
<li>It creates a shortcode called [pvis] which makes it very easy to include Protovis scripts in blog posts and pages.</li>
</ol>
<p>Usage:</p>
<p>Simply use the [pvis] shortcode in your posts and pages where you want to include a Protovis chart. There are a number of optional parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li>type: ‘chart’ (default) displays a chart in a box with an optional caption, ‘inline’ has no box (e.g. useful for sparklines)</li>
<li>src: path to a Protovis (javascript) code file</li>
<li>height: height of canvas box for the chart</li>
<li>width: width of canvas box for the chart</li>
<li>img: path to a fallback image to use when scripts are blocked or the browser does not support Protovis</li>
<li>alt: alt text for the fallback image</li>
<li>caption: image caption</li>
</ul>
<p>If any content is supplied between the opening [pvis] tag and the closing [/pvis] tag, it is taken to be javascript for inclusion. It may also be interpreted as a caption, but <em>only</em> if a caption field is not supplied and a src field is supplied.</p>
<p>Here is an example of use of the tag:</p>
<p>[pvis src=”http://www.example.com/chart.js” img=”fails.png” height=”125px”]My Caption![/pvis]</p>
<p>You can see the plugin in action on <a href="http://www.stubbornmule.net/resources/protovis-loader/" rel="nofollow ugc">the Stubborn Mule</a>.</p>
<h3>To-Do List</h3>
<p>This list is not really prioritised yet.</p>
<ol>
<li>Improve user-agent (browser) detection</li>
<li>Create an options page</li>
<li>Allow custom CSS files</li>
<li>Allow for alterntive specification of the protovis js library</li>
<li>Replace tags in the imported script to allow shortcode parameters to be used in the script</li>
</ol>
<p>I’m sure there’ll be a lot more!</p>

<p>Three Importer allows users to insert custom ThreeJS scenes which can be implemented via Block editor, shortcode, or custom script injection. This allows people with little-to-no coding experience to well-seasoned developers to create beautiful, 3D scenes with full control over the settings.</p>
<p><strong>Block Support</strong><br />
Three Importer has full support with the official WordPress Block Editor. Simply type and select “/Three Importer” in your page editor and you’ll see the 3D render notice for the public view.</p>
<p><strong>Shortcode Support</strong><br />
Three Importer allows the exact same functionality from blocks within the <code>[ti3d_scene]</code> shortcode. Developers can also use the <code>[ti3d_sceneinject]</code> shortcode to call project-specific libraries from THREE and use them within custom scripts.</p>
