looker custom visualization using echarts

Am creating custom visualization and am using echarts for the visualization.
I have a source and everything but i am unable to make it work. Can anyone help in this how to achieve the below fiddle in looker custom visualization
import * as echarts from 'echarts';
var ROOT_PATH = 'https://echarts.apache.org/examples';
var chartDom = document.getElementById('main');
var myChart = echarts.init(chartDom);
var option;
myChart.showLoading();
$.getJSON(ROOT_PATH + '/data/asset/data/les-miserables.json', function (graph) {
myChart.hideLoading();
graph.nodes.forEach(function (node) {
node.label = {
show: node.symbolSize > 30
};
});
option = {
title: {
text: 'Les Miserables',
subtext: 'Default layout',
top: 'bottom',
left: 'right'
},
tooltip: {},
legend: [{
// selectedMode: 'single',
data: graph.categories.map(function (a) {
return a.name;
})
}],

};
myChart.setOption(option);
});
option && myChart.setOption(option);
demo url
in the above snippet, they are passing json but in my requirement i need to fetch from selected dimensions or measures and I need to convert into looker custom viz
looker.plugins.visualizations.add({
});
Please do let me know any suggestions on this

Inside the object you pass to looker.plugins.visualizations.add, the updateAsync method ( that you will use to generate the echart options and series ) is async, and it passes you a done callback to be called when you are ready.
So you can call your json, process the data and then done()

Where to add and register the custom attributes in flot-pie chart js?

Although this question has answer at: Adding custom attributes to flot data
but I have tried every possible way but my custom attributes are not showing on click event.
So far I tried this:
html:
<div id="audit_status" class="chart"></div>
JS:
var audit_status = [
{label: "Pending", data: 2, location_value="Majiwada,Pune"},
{ label: "Ongoing", data: 1 location_value="Mumbai"},
];
var options = {
series: {
pie: {
show: true,
label: {
show: true,
radius: 120,
formatter: function (label, series) {
return '<div style="border:1px solid grey;font-size:8pt;text-align:center;padding:5px;color:white;background-color: #90bdce;">' +
label + ' : ' +
series.data[0][1] +
' ('+Math.round(series.percent)+' %)</div>';
},
background: {
opacity: 0.8,
color: '#000'
}
}
}
},
legend: {
show: true
},
grid: {
hoverable: true,
clickable: true
}
};
$("#audit_status").bind("plotclick", function(event, pos, obj) {
console.log(obj);
//alert(obj.series.value);
if (obj) {
alert(obj.series.location_value);
}
});
$(document).ready(function () {
$.plot($("#audit_status"), audit_status, options);
});
The problem is: whenever I click the pie segment I want to alert "location_value"
but i am getting [Object Object]

I see two issues with the code as it is now. First, the audit_status JSON object isn't quite defined right. The location_value properties need to use colons, not equal signs:
var audit_status = [
{ label: "Pending", data: 2, location_value: "Majiwada,Pune" },
{ label: "Ongoing", data: 1, location_value: "Mumbai" }
];
Second, in your plotclick function, the extra properties defined in your data object don't make it over to the series object passed into the callback. You need to reference the original data object, using the obj.seriesIndex provided to the callback. This JSFiddle provides an example of the code below.
var data = [{
label: "Yes",
data: 50,
location_value: 'Majiwada,Pune'
}, {
label: "No",
data: 150,
location_value: 'Mumbai'
}];
// plot initialization code here
$("#pie").bind("plotclick", function(event, pos, obj) {
if (obj) {
// use the obj.seriesIndex to grab the original data object,
// then you can use any property you defined on that object
alert(data[obj.seriesIndex].location_value);
}
});

Highcharts Solid Gauge Dynamic Update Using JSON

Updated & Resolved, see below.
I have been working on this for several days, searching and reading many tutorials and I am still stuck. Ultimately I am working on a page that will contain multiple solid gauge charts with data supplied by JSON from an SQLITE3 database. The database is updated every minute and I would like to have the chart data update dynamically, not by refreshing the browser page.
For the purpose of my learning, I have reduced this down to one chart.
All current and future data will be arranged as such:
PHP
[{"name":"s1_id","data":[684172]},
{"name":"s1_time","data":[1483097398000]},
{"name":"s1_probe_id","data":["28-0000071cba01"]},
{"name":"s1_temp_c","data":[22.125]},
{"name":"s1_temp_f","data":[71.825]},
{"name":"s2_id","data":[684171]},
{"name":"s2_time","data":[1483097397000]},
{"name":"s2_probe_id","data":["28-0000071d7153"]},
{"name":"s2_temp_c","data":[22.062]},
{"name":"s2_temp_f","data":[71.7116]}]
This is the current layout of my java:
JS
$(function() {
var options = {
chart: {
type: 'solidgauge'
},
title: null,
pane: {
center: ['50%', '90%'],
size: '140%',
startAngle: -90,
endAngle: 90,
background: {
backgroundColor: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.background2) || '#EEE',
innerRadius: '60%',
outerRadius: '100%',
shape: 'arc'
}
},
tooltip: {
enabled: false
},
// the value axis
yAxis: {
stops: [
[0.10, '#2b908f'],//Blue
[0.35, '#55BF3B'],//Green
[0.65, '#DDDF0D'],//Yellow
[0.90, '#DF5353']//Red
],
lineWidth: 0,
minorTickInterval: null,
tickPixelInterval: 1000,
tickWidth: 0,
title: {
y: -70
},
labels: {
y: 16
},
min: 0,
max: 1000000,
title: {
text: 'Degree C'
}
},
plotOptions: {
solidgauge: {
dataLabels: {
y: -10,
borderWidth: 0,
useHTML: true
}
}
},
series: []
};
var gauge1;
$.getJSON('sgt3.php', function(json){
options.chart.renderTo = 'chart1';
options.series.push(json[0]);
gauge1 = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
});
});
I was using information from this post but it leaves off the dynamic update aspect. As I mentioned before, I will have more charts rendering to div ids, all coming from the one JSON array, which is why I have referenced the following link:
Multiple dynamic Highcharts on one page with json
If anyone has an idea how to dynamically update this please let me know. I have tried several setInterval methods but all they seem to do is redraw the chart but no data is updated.
Update:
I spent a while doing some more iterations and resolved before coming back here. I changed each gauge to have their own function such as:
$('#gauge0').highcharts(Highcharts.merge(options, {
yAxis: {
min: 15,
max: 30,
tickPositions: [15, 20, 25, 30],
title: {
text: 'Table'
}
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
data: [30],
dataLabels: {
y: 20,
format: '<div style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:48px;color:' +
((Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.contrastTextColor) || 'black') + '">{y:.3f}</span><br/>' +
'<span style="font-size:12px;color:silver">Degree C</span></div>'
},
tooltip: {
valueSuffix: 'Tooltip 1'
}
}]
}));
Then got the setInterval to work by assigning to each gauge respectively. I have added a lot more info than just the two I referenced but each var and setData can be added respectively.
// Bring life to the dials
setInterval(function() {
$.ajax({
url: 'data_temps.php',
success: function(json) {
var chart0 = $('#gauge0').highcharts();
var chart1 = $('#gauge1').highcharts();
// add the point
chart0.series[0].setData(json[3]['data'],true);
chart1.series[0].setData(json[8]['data'],true);
},
cache: false
})
}, 1000)
Hopefully this can help someone in the future. This may not be the most efficient way but its working great right now. Thanks again everyone for your suggestions.

You may try something like this:
change:
var gauge1;
$.getJSON('sgt3.php', function(json){
options.chart.renderTo = 'chart1';
options.series.push(json[0]);
gauge1 = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
});
to:
options.chart.renderTo = 'chart1';
var gauge1 = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
$.getJSON('sgt3.php', function(json){
gauge1.series[0].points.length = 0;
gauge1.series[0].points.push(json[0]);
});
That is, updating the existing series on a chart instead of re-creating it.
As I've mentioned in the comment before, highcharts provide an example of dynamically updated gauge:

How to show bar labels in legend in Chart.js 2.1.6?

I'm creating charts using Chart.js and I want to show the labels for the bars in the legend, not the title of the dataset (there is only one), please see the below image as an example:
My current legend just looks like this:
I have looked through the docs but to no avail, I found them very confusing actually.
Here is my current code:
var chart_0 = new Chart($('#cp_chart_0'), {
type: 'bar'
, data: {
labels: ['Blue','Green','Yellow','Red','Purple','Orange']
, datasets: [{
label: 'Dataset 1'
, borderWidth: 0
, backgroundColor: ['#2C79C5','#7FA830','#7B57C3','#ED4D40','#EC802F','#1DC6D3']
, data: ['12','2','5','0','9','1']
}]
}
});
Thanks!

In one of the most recent releases of Chart.js 2.1.x, they added back this functionality. So go get the latest release first. Then insert the code below.
It is located under the options and legend. Here is how you use it:
options: {
legend: {
position: 'right'
}
}

Easiest way is to provide your data with multiple sets :
data: {
labels: ['total votes']
, datasets: [{
label: 'Blue'
, backgroundColor: ['#2C79C5']
, data: ['12']
},{
label: 'Green'
, backgroundColor: ['#7FA830']
, data: ['2']
},
...
]
}
But you can generate a custom labels using generateLabels - http://www.chartjs.org/docs/#chart-configuration-legend-configuration
Or even customise the whole legend, including formatting, with legendCallback - http://www.chartjs.org/docs/#chart-configuration-common-chart-configuration

This solution uses Chart.js version 3. You can pre-process your data using the Plugin Core API. The API offers different hooks that may be used for executing custom code.
I use the beforeInit hook to create individual datasets for each defined label/value pair. Note that the data of these new datasets are defined in point format (for instance [{ x: 1, y: 12 }]):
beforeInit: chart => {
let dataset = chart.config.data.datasets[0];
chart.config.data.datasets = chart.config.data.labels.map((l, i) => ({
label: l,
data: [{ x: i + 1, y: dataset.data[i] }],
backgroundColor: dataset.backgroundColor[i],
categoryPercentage: 1
}));
chart.config.data.labels = undefined;
}
Further you need to define a second x-axis that will contain the labels.
x1: {
offset: true,
gridLines: {
display: false
}
}
The labels on x1 need to be collected and defined programmatically each time the hidden state of a dataset changes. This can be done in the beforeLayout hook.
beforeLayout: chart => chart.options.scales.x1.labels = chart.config.data.datasets.filter((ds, i) => !chart.getDatasetMeta(i).hidden).map(ds => ds.label)
Please take a look at below runnable code and see how it works.
new Chart('chart', {
type: 'bar',
plugins: [{
beforeInit: chart => {
let dataset = chart.config.data.datasets[0];
chart.config.data.datasets = chart.config.data.labels.map((l, i) => ({
label: l,
data: [{ x: i + 1, y: dataset.data[i] }],
backgroundColor: dataset.backgroundColor[i],
categoryPercentage: 1
}));
chart.config.data.labels = undefined;
},
beforeLayout: chart => chart.options.scales.x1.labels = chart.config.data.datasets.filter((ds, i) => !chart.getDatasetMeta(i).hidden).map(ds => ds.label)
}],
data: {
labels: ['Blue', 'Green', 'Yellow', 'Red', 'Purple', 'Orange'],
datasets: [{
data: ['12', '2', '5', '0', '9', '1'],
backgroundColor: ['#2C79C5', '#7FA830', '#FFF200', '#ED4D40', '#800080', '#EC802F']
}]
},
options: {
interaction: {
intersect: true,
mode: 'nearest'
},
plugins: {
legend: {
position: 'right'
},
tooltip: {
callbacks: {
title: () => undefined
}
}
},
scales: {
y: {
beginAtZero: true
},
x: {
display: false
},
x1: {
offset: true,
gridLines: {
display: false
}
}
}
}
});
canvas {
max-width: 400px;
}

Json in perfect form but Highcharts chart won't populate

New to highcharts and as the title said I am trying to pull json from a webservice and place it into the chart (bar chart) but I am getting some weird behavior. after I pull the data down through $http.get() I try and set the series to that string of json like series: '$scope.jsondata'. It will fill some legends (more than expected) so it is getting the data. but the bars on the chart wont show.
On the other hand when I go to the url where I am getting the json and just copy and paste all of the json into the series field, it works perfectly.
I have a plunker here I have been working on that shows what I am talking about. You can just paste:
[
{
"name":"Kaia",
"data":[19]
},
{
"name":"Deborah",
"data":[86]
},
{
"name":"Phoebe",
"data":[77]
},
{
"name":"Rory",
"data":[17]
},
{
"name":"Savannah",
"data":[15]
}
]
...into the series field and everything works.
EDIT I havent yet, but I am planning to use $interval to update the data every x seconds. Something like :
$http.get(fullUrl).success(function(data2) {
$scope.records = [];
data2.forEach(function(r) {
$scope.records.push(r);
});
});
mainInterval = $interval(function() {
$http.get(fullUrl).success(function(data2) {
$scope.records = [];
data2.forEach(function(r) {
$scope.records.push(r);
});
});
}, 5000);
So like one of the answers suggested I put the chart creation in the callback of the $http.get() but I think that'd hinder the $interval

You can move the creation of the Chart into the callback of the get call to simplify things. http://plnkr.co/edit/utQG34xOQmtbOukTK71e?p=preview
Note I also updated series: '$scope.jsondata' to series: $scope.jsondata.
$http.get('https://api.myjson.com/bins/38qm9').success(function(ret) {
$scope.jsondata = ret;
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'bar'
