function chart (data, selector) {
// generate chart with zoom feature. it scales the X domain and update the chart accordingly.
}
chart(dataset1, "#chart1")
chart(dataset2, "#chart2")
chart(datasetn, "#chartn")
the code above is a chart generator function which I give it different datasets to make me charts. in all charts, the dataset has the same X values but different Y values.
problem:
lets say we have 3 charts, all the X axis ranges are between 0-100. In the first chart, I drag mouse and create a zoombox between 30-60 and the first chart updates, now it is scaled between 30-60. But the second and third chart are intact. I need them to be updated as well between 30-60.
similarly if I do the same for second chart, I need the first and third one get updated.
here is jsfiddle to illustration
I made not so big modification to make this works.
First of all we remember globally the information about single chart in var charts array. This is done during creation of charts
charts.push(lineChart(data1,"#chart1"));
charts.push(lineChart(data2,"#chart2"));
charts.push(lineChart(data3,"#chart3"));
Next we can use this array in function zoomdrag and update.
This work maybe not perfect (reset of chart is missing) but show how to handle it and get the same zoom in all charts.
Here is jsfiddle

to visualize data I am using a heatmap from the plotly.js library. After rendering the heatmap I want to be able to dynamically change the axis limits. So far I manage to do that for the z-axis (color) but not for the x- or y-axes.
Here is what I try:
layout.xaxis.range=[0,5];
layout.yaxis.range=[0,5];
data[0].zmin=0;
data[0].zmax=10;
Plotly.redraw('myDiv');
Sadly only the z-axis works. You can check an example here: https://codepen.io/brockerdocker/pen/QWgvLGx
Here is what I get (only z-limits changed):
And here is what I would like to get (also x- and y- limts changed):
However this 2nd heatmap I can only achieve if I specify x- and y-ranges before I call Plotly.newPlot('myDiv', data, layout);. Once I generated the heatmap it seems that I can't change the ranges anymore.
So any idea how I could still change the ranges after having generated the heatmap would be great.
I just found the solution:
In order to being able to set a dedicated range for the x- and y-axes one first has to set 'autorange' to false:
layout.xaxis.autorange=false;
layout.yaxis.autorange=false;
layout.xaxis.range=[0,5];
layout.yaxis.range=[0,5];
Plotly.redraw('myDiv');
So that should work.
I am using chart.js to try to create a timeline of events relative to current date.
The horizontal bar chart is close but would like to show only the tips of the bars eg as points which would pretty much be a horizontal line chart.
I have shown my horizontal bar chart along with a mock-up of what it would look like as horizontal line chart.
Is this possible with chart.js ?
You first need to know that every information that you can edit about the chart is stored in the variable containing your chart (called myChart usually, but my2Bar in your fiddle).
If you want to globally change the graph, you will need to edit attributes in myChart.config.options.
If you want to change a specific chart, you will need to edit attributes in myChart.config.data.
In this case, you need to change a specific chart (which is the horizontal bar).
If you happen to check the logs of your graph, and go very deep in the config, you will finally see that bars in your chart are drawn using attributes stored in myChart.config.data.datasets[0]._meta[0].data[n]._model (n being the nth rectangle drawn, top to bottom).
Some attributes you can find there :
base : The X position where the rectangle is starting to be drawn (0 in your xAxe for instance).
x : The rectangle is being drawn until this X position.
height : The height of the drawn rectangle.
and so on ...
To edit these values, you just need to loop in your different rectangles (the n in the above path).
But you just can't do it manually on the config of your variable. If you do this, it won't work since your chart is responsive (on resize, it will redraw the chart using the former options).
What you must use are Chart.js plugins.
Plugins let you handle all the events that are triggered while creating, updating, rendering your graph.
Then, in your beforeRender event (triggered after the initialisation, but before the drawing), you need to loop in your different rectangles to edit the values to affect how they will be drawn :
beforeRender: function(chart) {
for (var i = 0; i < chart.config.data.datasets[0]._meta[0].data.length; i++) {
// Change both `3` values to change the height & width of the point
chart.config.data.datasets[0]._meta[0].data[i]._model["base"] = chart.config.data.datasets[0]._meta[0].data[i]._model["x"] + 3;
chart.config.data.datasets[0]._meta[0].data[i]._model["height"] = 3;
}
}
Here is a jsFiddle with the final result.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make round dots, instead of squared ones.
Update :
I have also made another jsFiddle where all the dots are linked together which makes it look like it is a horizontal line chart (can be improved of course, but it is a good start).
I need to draw a graph to display engine status.That is i will be having time like 1-2,2-3,3-4 along axis and by using bar graph i need to display whether engine was on or off at these time.
That is from 1-2 if it is off it will how black and 2-4 if it is on it will show blue color and again if the status is changed it should show black from blue.Right now i have customised jquery high charts for displaying one bar,by removing some parameters.
I need to know how i implment this here or is it possible in this graph?
You can do this with a column range chart, with minimal fudging.
The main issue is making sure you set your data points correctly, and to set grouping:false in the plotOptions. The x value needs to be specified for each data as well, or else they will all be given a separate x value
Example:
http://jsfiddle.net/jlbriggs/o9ck2zLn/
This can easily be adapted to a time axis by supplying the timestamps as the y values.
I am trying to create a highmaps chart that contains two mapbubble series so that it will show two bubbles in each country rather than just one. I am however struggling to understand how I can manipulate the x coordinates of the series so that they are not drawn on top of each other.
You need to manipulate second serie's data and change x/y values, because points are printed according to these values.
I'm trying to replicate the trulia's graph with D3.js, but only the main chart (the heatmap) and the daily graph (the graph bar that changes when you hover the mouse over a specific point on the main chart).
Using this example, I've managed to build the main chart with my own data. I also have the second chart. But now I have no clue on how to update this second chart when I hover on a point on main chart.
Essentially, what you're going to have is two different charts with different data. The first chart (the heatmap) controls the other one. Each data point on the heatmap has a day and an hour attribute, which we want to use to control the second graph. To do this, we can use two functions to control the second graph, and then call both of them every time someone clicks on a point.
The first function just needs to build a blank graph for the target day.
function updateGraphDay(newDay){
//Remove current graph and build graph for newDay
}
The second is one that will highlight a certain hour on the bar chart. I'm assuming here that your bar chart is in its own SVG, barGraphSVG, and all of the bars have the class hourBar, and that the data you used to create it has an hour attribute, like the heat map data.
function updateGraphHour(newHour){
barGraphSVG.selectAll('.hourBar')
.classed('selectedBar', function(d){ return d.hour === newHour });
}
Now you just call both of these when you hover on one of the rect elements in the bar chart.
heatMap.on('hover', function(d){
updateGraphDay(d.day);
updateGraphHour(d.hour);
});
