dc.js Scatter Plot with multiple values for a single key - javascript

We have scatter plots working great in our dashboard, but we have been thrown a curve ball. We have a new dataset that provides multiple y values for a single key. We have other datasets were this occurs but we had flatten the data first, but we do not want to flatten this dataset.
The scatter plot should us the uid for the x-axis and each value in the inj field for the y-axis values. The inj field will always be an array of numbers, but each row could have 1 .. n values in the array.
var data = [
{"uid":1, "actions": {"inj":[2,4,10], "img":[10,15,25], "res":[15,19,37]},
{"uid":2, "actions": {"inj":[5,8,15], "img":[5,8,12], "res":[33, 45,57]}
{"uid":3, "actions": {"inj":[9], "img":[2], "res":[29]}
];
We can define the dimension and group to plot the first value from the inj field.
var ndx = crossfilter(data);
var spDim = ndx.dimension(function(d){ return [d.uid, d.actions.inj[0]];});
var spGrp = spDim.group();
But are there any suggestions on how to define the scatter plot to handle multiple y values for each x value?
Here is a jsfiddle example showing how I can display the first element or the last element. But how can I show all elements of the array?
--- Additional Information ---
Above is just a simple example to demonstrate a requirement. We have developed a dynamic data explorer that is fully data driven. Currently the datasets being used are protected. We will be adding a public dataset soon to show off the various features. Below are a couple of images.
I have hidden some legends. For the Scatter Plot we added a vertical only brush that is enabled when pressing the "Selection" button. The notes section is populated on scatter plot chart initialization with the overall dataset statistics. Then when any filter is performed the notes section is updated with statistics of just the filtered data.
The field selection tree displays the metadata for the selected dataset. The user can decide which fields to show as charts and in datatables (not shown). Currently for the dataset shown we only have 89 available fields, but for another dataset there are 530 fields the user can mix and match.
I have not shown the various tabs below the charts DIV that hold several datatables with the actual data.
The metadata has several fields that are defined to help use dynamically build the explorer dashboard.

I warned you the code would not be pretty! You will probably be happier if you can flatten your data, but it's possible to make this work.
We can first aggregate all the injs within each uid, by filtering by the rows in the data and aggregating by uid. In the reduction we count the instances of each inj value:
uidDimension = ndx.dimension(function (d) {
return +d.uid;
}),
uidGroup = uidDimension.group().reduce(
function(p, v) { // add
v.actions.inj.forEach(function(i) {
p.inj[i] = (p.inj[i] || 0) + 1;
});
return p;
},
function(p, v) { // remove
v.actions.inj.forEach(function(i) {
p.inj[i] = p.inj[i] - 1;
if(!p.inj[i])
delete p.inj[i];
});
return p;
},
function() { // init
return {inj: {}};
}
);
uidDimension = ndx.dimension(function (d) {
return +d.uid;
}),
uidGroup = uidDimension.group().reduce(
function(p, v) { // add
v.actions.inj.forEach(function(i) {
p.inj[i] = (p.inj[i] || 0) + 1;
});
return p;
},
function(p, v) { // remove
v.actions.inj.forEach(function(i) {
p.inj[i] = p.inj[i] - 1;
if(!p.inj[i])
delete p.inj[i];
});
return p;
},
function() { // init
return {inj: {}};
}
);
Here we assume that there might be rows of data with the same uid and different inj arrays. This is more general than needed for your sample data: you could probably do something simpler if there is indeed only one row of data for each uid.
To flatten out the resulting group, with we can use a "fake group" to create one group-like {key, value} data item for each [uid, inj] pair:
function flatten_group(group, field) {
return {
all: function() {
var ret = [];
group.all().forEach(function(kv) {
Object.keys(kv.value[field]).forEach(function(i) {
ret.push({
key: [kv.key, +i],
value: kv.value[field][i]
});
})
});
return ret;
}
}
}
var uidinjGroup = flatten_group(uidGroup, 'inj');
Fork of your fiddle
In the fiddle, I've added a bar chart to demonstrate filtering by UID. Filtering on the bar chart works, but filtering on the scatter plot does not. If you need to filter on the scatter plot, that could probably be fixed, but it could only filter on the uid dimension because your data is too course to allow filtering by inj.

HighChart with more than 50 data points breaks

I am trying to create a bubble chart using the JS HighChart in Angular2+. Whenever there are more than 50 data points (bubbles), the graph breaks. There are the correct number of bubbles in the correct positions (x,y plots) with all different colors but the sizes are all the same even though the z-values are all different. (I am outputing the z-values in a tooltip and the z-values are accurate)
This function is how I am passing in data to the high-chart configuration.
setSeries() {
this.objData = []
this.Data.forEach(element => {
var x= element['xVal'];
var y = element['yVal'];
var z = element['zVal'].toFixed(0);
var name = element['seriesName'].trim();
var newData =[{
x:x,
y:y,
z:+z,
}]
// SetSeriesData is how i am creating the obj to pass into series=[] in highchart configuration
if(i<50) //If I comment this condition, the graph breaks. Right now, the graph is working properly
this.setSeriesData(sumData, name, this.objData)
i++
})
this.options.series = this.objData;
this.generateChart();
}
This is my setSeriesData function.
setSeriesData(graphData: any, dataName: any, objData: any){
var obj = {};
obj['name'] = dataName;
obj['data'] = graphData;
obj['events'] = {click: function(e) {
//takes me to another link
}};
objData.push(obj)
}
In the above function, I configured the chart so that when you click the bubble, it takes you to another page. When the data points >50, this click functionality is not working either. In addition, the fillOpacity is not correct.
Just a few things to point out
1. I am using Angular 2+
2. The discovered issues are, fillOpacity, click, and size based on z-value.
3. It works perfectly when the data points are less than 50
How can I fix this?

How to sort c3.js bar chart

I was looking forward to sorting the bars in the bar chart (not stacked bar) using c3.js. But could not find any suitable way, there is an option mentioned below but that's not applicable for the bar chart.
data: {
order: 'asc'
}
In my case, all data are coming dynamically and rendering through c3.js to make a bar chart.I was looking for a sort like https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/raw/3885705/
You were on the right track with your jsfiddle but as the data passed to c3.generate() is an array of datasets then you cannot just call data.sort().
EDIT
For this specific case, where your data is in the form you described in your comments, this would be a suitable method.
I primarily used array functions like slice, splice, map and sort. These are key functions to gain familiarity with if you are manipulating and plotting data. The mozzila docs are a great point to start.
You should also note which functions modify the array they are called on and which return a new array; Mutating your data when you did not intend to can often cause hard-to-spot bugs.
var data = [
["a", "b", "c"],
['data1', "30", " 200", " 100"]
]
// declare a function to control variable scope
var sortData = function(unsortedData) {
// deep copy array to avoid modification of input array
var sorted = unsortedData.map(function(row) {
// use slice to copy this array
return row.slice()
})
// remove the dataname
var name = sorted[1].splice(0, 1);
// produce an array of data points [[x1,y1],[x2,y2]...]
var datapoints = sorted[1].map(function(d, i) {
// use index in map function to pull out name
// return array for datapoint [x,y]
return [sorted[0][i], d];
});
//sort datapoints
var sortedData = datapoints.sort(function(a, b) {
return a[1] - b[1];
});
// map back into separate x and y data
sorted[1] = sortedData.map(function(point, i) {
// assign x value to data[0] element
sorted[0][i] = point[0];
// return the y data point
return point[1];
});
// add the dataname back into the y data
sorted[1] = name.concat(sorted[1]);
// add the 'x' label name to x-values
sorted[0].splice(0, 0, 'x')
// return the sorted array
return sorted
}
var chart = c3.generate({
data: {
x: 'x',
columns: sortData(data),
type: 'bar',
},
axis: {
x: {
type: 'category' // this needed to load string x value
}
}
})

javascript/amcharts - easy way to use legend to show/hide columns of 1 graph for Amchart Column Chart

I can't seem to find an easy way to add legend which has switchable functionality for items in a single graph for amcharts. I searched around and found a column chart which has switchable graphs (JSFiddle 1). I found switchable items legend but it doesn't resize properly (JSFiddle 2).
This is the closest I can find to adding legends from multiple items of single graph (CodePen 1). It is from amchart website itself but there is no switchable functionality. How can I add the switchable functionality here which allows column resizing (ie. 2 items will be shown with bigger column than 10 columns)? I tried this initially to just see if switch functionality can be added but it does not work:
AmCharts.addInitHandler(function(chart) {
//check if legend is enabled and custom generateFromData property
//is set before running
if (!chart.legend || !chart.legend.enabled || !chart.legend.generateFromData) {
return;
}
var categoryField = chart.categoryField;
var colorField = chart.graphs[0].lineColorField || chart.graphs[0].fillColorsField;
var legendData = chart.dataProvider.map(function(data) {
var markerData = {
"title": data[categoryField] + ": " + data[chart.graphs[0].valueField],
"color": data[colorField]
};
if (!markerData.color) {
markerData.color = chart.graphs[0].lineColor;
}
return markerData;
});
chart.legend.data = legendData;
// here is the code I add
chart.legend.switchable=true;
}
Update - The AmCharts knowledge base demo has been updated to include the modifications below.
In order to resize the chart outright, you have to actually modify the dataProvider and remove the element from the array and redraw the chart. You can use the legend's clickMarker to store the data item into the event dataItem object and retrieve it as needed through the hidden flag. Combining the fiddles from previous solutions together, I came up with this:
/*
Plugin to generate legend markers based on category
and fillColor/lineColor field from the chart data by using
the legend's custom data array. Also allows for toggling markers
and completely removing/adding columns from the chart
The plugin assumes there is only one graph object.
*/
AmCharts.addInitHandler(function(chart) {
//method to handle removing/adding columns when the marker is toggled
function handleCustomMarkerToggle(legendEvent) {
var dataProvider = legendEvent.chart.dataProvider;
var itemIndex; //store the location of the removed item
//Set a custom flag so that the dataUpdated event doesn't fire infinitely, in case you have
//a dataUpdated event of your own
legendEvent.chart.toggleLegend = true;
// The following toggles the markers on and off.
// The only way to "hide" a column and reserved space on the axis is to remove it
// completely from the dataProvider. You'll want to use the hidden flag as a means
// to store/retrieve the object as needed and then sort it back to its original location
// on the chart using the dataIdx property in the init handler
if (undefined !== legendEvent.dataItem.hidden && legendEvent.dataItem.hidden) {
legendEvent.dataItem.hidden = false;
dataProvider.push(legendEvent.dataItem.storedObj);
legendEvent.dataItem.storedObj = undefined;
//re-sort the array by dataIdx so it comes back in the right order.
dataProvider.sort(function(lhs, rhs) {
return lhs.dataIdx - rhs.dataIdx;
});
} else {
// toggle the marker off
legendEvent.dataItem.hidden = true;
//get the index of the data item from the data provider, using the
//dataIdx property.
for (var i = 0; i < dataProvider.length; ++i) {
if (dataProvider[i].dataIdx === legendEvent.dataItem.dataIdx) {
itemIndex = i;
break;
}
}
//store the object into the dataItem
legendEvent.dataItem.storedObj = dataProvider[itemIndex];
//remove it
dataProvider.splice(itemIndex, 1);
}
legendEvent.chart.validateData(); //redraw the chart
}
//check if legend is enabled and custom generateFromData property
//is set before running
if (!chart.legend || !chart.legend.enabled || !chart.legend.generateFromData) {
return;
}
var categoryField = chart.categoryField;
var colorField = chart.graphs[0].lineColorField || chart.graphs[0].fillColorsField;
var legendData = chart.dataProvider.map(function(data, idx) {
var markerData = {
"title": data[categoryField] + ": " + data[chart.graphs[0].valueField],
"color": data[colorField],
"dataIdx": idx
};
if (!markerData.color) {
markerData.color = chart.graphs[0].lineColor;
}
data.dataIdx = idx;

//make the markers toggleable
chart.legend.switchable = true;
chart.legend.addListener("clickMarker", handleCustomMarkerToggle);
}, ["serial"]);

Row Chart grouping on two text dimensions [duplicate]

I need to create a rowchart in dc.js with inputs from multiple columns in a csv. So i need to map a column to each row and each columns total number to the row value.
There may be an obvious solution to this but i cant seem to find any examples.
many thanks
S
update:
Here's a quick sketch. Apologies for the standard
Row chart;
column1 ----------------- 64 (total of column 1)
column2 ------- 35 (total of column 2)
column3 ------------ 45 (total of column 3)
Interesting problem! It sounds somewhat similar to a pivot, requested for crossfilter here. A solution comes to mind using "fake groups" and "fake dimensions", however there are a couple of caveats:
it will reflect filters on other dimensions
but, you will not be able to click on the rows in the chart in order to filter anything else (because what records would it select?)
The fake group constructor looks like this:
function regroup(dim, cols) {
var _groupAll = dim.groupAll().reduce(
function(p, v) { // add
cols.forEach(function(c) {
p[c] += v[c];
});
return p;
},
function(p, v) { // remove
cols.forEach(function(c) {
p[c] -= v[c];
});
return p;
},
function() { // init
var p = {};
cols.forEach(function(c) {
p[c] = 0;
});
return p;
});
return {
all: function() {
// or _.pairs, anything to turn the object into an array
return d3.map(_groupAll.value()).entries();
}
};
}
What it is doing is reducing all the requested rows to an object, and then turning the object into the array format dc.js expects group.all to return.
You can pass any arbitrary dimension to this constructor - it doesn't matter what it's indexed on because you can't filter on these rows... but you probably want it to have its own dimension so it's affected by all other dimension filters. Also give this constructor an array of columns you want turned into groups, and use the result as your "group".
E.g.
var dim = ndx.dimension(function(r) { return r.a; });
var sidewaysGroup = regroup(dim, ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']);
Full example here: https://jsfiddle.net/gordonwoodhull/j4nLt5xf/5/
(Notice how clicking on the rows in the chart results in badness, because, what is it supposed to filter?)
Are you looking for stacked row charts? For example, this chart has each row represent a category and each color represents a sub-category:
Unfortunately, this feature is not yet supported at DC.js. The feature request is at https://github.com/dc-js/dc.js/issues/397. If you are willing to wade into some non-library code, you could check out the examples referenced in that issue log.
Alternatively, you could use a stackable bar chart. This link seems to have a good description of how this works: http://www.solinea.com/blog/coloring-dcjs-stacked-bar-charts

Chart.js Bar Chart - grouping and mapping data

I am trying to use Chart.js Bar Chart to display a set of data.
My data is weekly based so to my method I send the year and week and get the data back in 3 columns; Product, Area and Amount.
What I want is to have to Products horizontaly and in each Product I want different bars for each Area and offcourse the Amount verticaly. (Bonus: If an Area nothing in that product it should not be shown in that particular Product)
The problem is that the number of Products and the number of Areas can vary from each week. And I can't seem to find a good way to loop through the data and create the datasets the way chart.js wants.
Also tried using Underscore.js to group it but the fact that the each Area doesn't always have an amount for a spesific product seems to be causing some issues.
So I guess you have to loop through the data and map that data to another predefined array for each Area so it can match this structure somehow??
Also open for other Chart plugins, but really liked how Chart.js animates the data. And if I get this working I can probably figgure out an update method for when you change week.
To get the labels i can f.ex do this:
$.ajax({
....
success: function (d) {
var a = _.groupBy(d.data, function (d) { return d.Product });
var labels = [];
$.each(a, function (i, value) {
labels.push(i);
});
}
});
With data in this format
var myJSONData = [
{
Product: 'P1',
Area: 'A1',
Value: 12
},
...
]
You can use this function to convert it into the format Chart.js requires
var data = {
labels: [],
datasets: []
}
var colors = ['Red','Blue','Green', ...] // add as many colors as there will be areas (maximum)
myJSONData.forEach(function (e) {
// create labels
var labelIndex = data.labels.indexOf(e.Product)
if (labelIndex === -1) {
labelIndex = data.labels.length;
data.labels.push(e.Product);
// dummy entries for each dataset for the label
data.datasets.forEach(function (dataset) {
dataset.data.push(0)
})
}
// get the area dataset
var area = data.datasets.filter(function(area){
return (area.label === e.Area);
})[0]
// otherwise create it
if (area === undefined) {
area = {
label: e.Area,
// create a dummy array with an entry for each of the existing labels
data: data.labels.map(function () {
return 0;
}),
fillColor: colors[data.datasets.length]
};
data.datasets.push(area)
}
// set the value
area.data[labelIndex] = e.Value;
})
and use that to display the chart.
Fiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/jt4Lqkn3/
(Bonus: If an Area nothing in that product it should not be shown in
that particular Product)
You can't change any configuration to do this - there will be a space left for each series.
However you might want to set the strokeColor to a transparent value (e.g. strokeColor: "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)", just below the fillColor line) and set the barStrokeWidth option to 0, so that 0 values don't show up at all on the chart (otherwise there will be thin line shown)
new Chart(ctx).Bar(data, {
barStrokeWidth: 0,
});
