### [Must have add-on for MaxiCharts on sites with or without Gravity Forms](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/must-have-add-on-for-maxicharts-on-sites-with-or-without-gravity-forms/)

Being able to supply a live CSV URL to then be charted is something some of the
more popular (as of now) chart plugins ask $149/yr for and this has it implemented
with a simple add-on. As an aside, it might be nice to have the Visual editor’s
button for MaxiCharts offer both CSV and Gravity Forms as options rather than only
offering GF currently. Not a deal breaker, but it would be a welcome addition!

Thanks but CSV format is not used anymore on websites for data sources : XML, JSON,
etc… is used instead!
