How to put a Gravity Forms chart onto the WordPress dashboard

We are occasionally asked how to insert a chart onto the WordPress dashboard. For developers here is some example code (not guaranteed to work, and not supported by our help desk). This requires GFChart v1.4.0 or later.

add_action('init','br_gfcdash');
function br_gfcdash(){
  // Add a widget to the dashboard  
  function gfcbr_add_dashboard_widgets() {
    wp_add_dashboard_widget(
        'gfchart_dashboard_widget',        // Widget slug.
	 'GFChart',         		   // Title.
	 'gfcbr_dashboard_widget_function' // Display function.
	        );	
    }
    add_action( 'wp_dashboard_setup', 'gfcbr_add_dashboard_widgets' );
        // Output the contents of dashboard widget
	function gfcbr_dashboard_widget_function() {
	    // Display whatever it is you want to show.
	    echo do_shortcode('');
            // Note: replace 1643 with your own id
	}
}
