# Installation

You need to install the python mpld3 library:

    pip install mpld3

# Usage

To insert a mpld3 chart in a view proceed as follows:

1. You should inherit from abstract class abstract.mpld3.parser:

       _name = 'res.partner'
       _inherit = ['res.partner', 'abstract.mpld3.parser']

2. Import the required libraries:

       import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

3. Declare a text computed field like this:

       mpld3_chart = fields.Text(
           string='Mpld3 Chart',
           compute='_compute_mpld3_chart',
       )

4. In its computed method do:

       def _compute_mpld3_chart(self):
           for rec in self:
               # Design your mpld3 figure:
               plt.scatter([1, 10], [5, 9])
               figure = plt.figure()
               rec.mpld3_chart = self.convert_figure_to_json(figure)

5. In the view, add something like this wherever you want to display your mpld3 chart:

       <div>
           <field name="mpld3_chart" widget="mpld3_chart" nolabel="1"/>
       </div>
