Population in countries bordering Germany

Wikidata query produces three columns - year, population size, and country name. This graph shows one line per country.

Template parameters
Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Table type	`tabletype`	Specifies the type of the table data. "tab" (default) uses data namespace on commons, without the data: prefix. "query" sends request to wikidata query service. Default tab	String	optional
Table	`table`	Data page name on Commons, without the Data: prefix. The table should contain xField column, like year or date, and one or more series columns to plot. If tabletype parameter is set to "query", this value is the query.	String	required
X axis type	`type`	Type of the x axis - time (e.g. "2015-10" or "2013-03-08"), year (integer, but treated as a year), linear (numbers), ordinal (anything). Default year	String	suggested
X field	`xField`	Id of the data column that contains values for the X axis. If type=year, xField is also "year" by default.	String	required
Series	`series`	If each line is represented by a separate column of data (or if there is only one column), list of the data columns to show as lines. Must be in quotes, and listed by field IDs if coming from a .tab page: "field1", "field2", "field3".	String	optional
Group	`group`	If line color depends on just one column, specify that column's ID, instead of the series parameter.	String	optional
Value	`value`	If line color depends on one column, this parameter should be set to the column which has the values.	String	optional
Filter	`filter`	Optionally filter data with an template expression parameter e.g. `filter = datum.some_dataset_field > 1900 && datum.some_dataset_field < 2000` where `some_dataset_field` means some valid field of displayed dataset	String	optional
X axis starts at 0	`xAxisZero, xZero`	Force to start or not to start X axis with zero. Can be either true or false.	String	optional
Y axis zero starts at 0	`yAxisZero, yZero`	Force to start or not to start Y axis with zero. Can be either true or false.	String	optional
X axis scale clamp	`xAxisClamp`	Épingle sur l'échelle de l'axe X. Les courbes au delà de cette épingle seront cachées.	Boolean	optional
Y axis scale clamp	`yAxisClamp`	Épingle sur l'échelle de l'axe Y. Les courbes au delà de cette épingle seront cachées.	Boolean	optional
X axis minimum	`xAxisMin, xMin`	Force X axis to start from this value.	Number	optional
X axis maximum	`xAxisMax, xMax`	Force X axis to end with this value.	Number	optional
Y axis minimum	`yAxisMin, yMin`	Force Y axis to start from this value.	Number	optional
Y axis maximum	`yAxisMax, yMax`	Force Y axis to end with this value.	Number	optional
Y axis scale	`yScale`	Set Y axis scaling type - linear, log and sqrt. Default linear	String	optional
Replace zero values	`replaceZerosWith`	Replaces 0 values in Y data field. Recommended to be use alongside with yScale=log (else zeros will be filtered out).	Number	optional
Title	`title`	Title of the whole graph.	String	optional
Title horizontal alignment	`titleXAlign`	Horizontal alignment of title, could be one of: left, center, right	String	optional
Title horizontal offset	`titleXOffset`	Horizontal offset of title position, could be negative, to shift title to the left, or positive to shift title to the right	Number	optional
X axis title	`xAxisTitle`	Title of the X axis.	String	optional
Y axis title	`yAxisTitle`	Title of the Y axis.	String	optional
X axis format	`xAxisFormat`	Changes the formatting of the X axis labels Default %b %y (for dates)	String	optional
Y axis format	`yAxisFormat`	Changes the formatting of the Y axis labels Default ,d (for numbers)	String	optional
X axis labels angle	`xAxisAngle`	Rotates the x axis labels by the specified angle. Recommended values are: -45, +45, -90, +90.	Number	optional
Y axis labels angle	`yAxisAngle`	Rotates the y axis labels by the specified angle.	Number	optional
X axis labels font size	`xAxisFontSize`	no description	Number	optional
Y axis labels font size	`yAxisFontSize`	no description	Number	optional

Edit parameter translations

Wikipedia-specific options added to this template:

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Thumbnail	`thumb`, `1`	If set, will style the chart with a border that matches that used for image thumbnails	Boolean	optional
Location	`align`, `2`	Implements the `left`, `right`, `center`, and `none` alignment options as described at image thumbnails. Defaults to `right` if `\|thumb=true`, otherwise defaults to `none`	String	optional
Caption	`caption`, `3`	Adds a caption under the image. if `\|hideSource=true`, it should include a link to the source data. Otherwise, make sure to end the caption with a period so it will display correctly with the source data after it.	String	optional
Hide source text	`hideSource`	If set, hides the "See or edit source data" text under the chart. If set, make sure to include a link to the source data elsewhere (such as in the caption).	Boolean	optional

Template calls can use the parameters by name, or they can be formatted similarly to normal image syntax. For example:

{{Graph:Lines | thumb=true | align=left
| caption=Per state GDP (via [[:Commons:Data:Bea.gov/GDP by state.tab]])
| table=Bea.gov/GDP by state.tab
| type=year | xField=year | legend=States
| series="TX","NY","CA"
| chartSizing=fit
| hideSource=true
}}

{{Graph:Lines | thumb | center | Per state GDP.
| table=Bea.gov/GDP by state.tab
| type=year | xField=year | legend=States
| series="TX","NY","CA"
| title=Per state GDP
| chartSizing=fit
}}
