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:

I am trying to display a set of dynamic data in a spline type chart using highcharts.
My spline type line chart has 4 series of data that needs to update through a service call. Service returns an array of data such as [0.345, 0.465, 0, 0.453] and I want to update y value of each series with the respective value in the array.
But my chart does not draw the data as expected. Even if I receive different values for y, in the chart it always displays it as 0.
This is my source code. Greatly appreciate if someone could help me figure out the issue in this or a give solution to this problem.
function drawHighChart() {
hchart = Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'spline',
animation: Highcharts.svg,
marginRight: 10,
},
time: {
useUTC: false
},
title: {
text: 'Audio Analytics'
},
xAxis: {
tickInterval: 1,
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Prediction'
},
min: 0,
max: 1,
tickInterval: 0.5,
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
},
tooltip: {
headerFormat: '<b>{series.name}</b><br/>',
pointFormat: '{point.x:%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}<br/>{point.y:.2f}'
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
/* Initially I'm setting some hardcoded values for each series.*/
series: [{
name: 'Calm',
data: [0.43934, 0.52503, 0.57177, 0.69658, 0.97031, 0.119931, 0.137133]
}, {
name: 'Happy',
data: [0.24916, 0.24064, 0.29742, 0.0000, 0.32490, 0.0000, 0.38121]
}, {
name: 'Angry',
data: [0.11744, 0.17722, 0.16005, 0.19771, 0.20185, 0.24377, 0.32147]
}, {
name: 'Disgust',
data: [0.7988, 0.15112, null, 0.22452, 0.34400, null, 0.34227]
}],
});
}
Now when I call drawHighChart() at the windows onload this is what it outputs.
Now from here, I need to update each series dynamically as service returns a data array.
This is my function that updates the chart dynamically every time the service returns a response. Every time I call this fucntion, I pass a data array constructed from the response data.
initiVal = 7; //This is a gloabl variable that increases x-axis value from 7.
function updateHighChart(dataArray) {
var series = hchart.series[0];
var series1 = hchart.series[1];
var series2 = hchart.series[2];
var series3 = hchart.series[3];
var x = initiVal;
y = dataArray[0];
y1 = dataArray[1];
y2 = dataArray[2];
y3 = dataArray[3];
console.log("dataArray: " + dataArray);
series.addPoint([x, y], true, true);
series1.addPoint([x, y1], true, true);
series2.addPoint([x, y2], true, true);
series3.addPoint([x, y3], true, true);
initiVal++;
}
But even if data is dynamically assigned to y axis values in each series, they do not update as expected in the chart. This is how the charts looks after the 6th second/instance when data needs to dynamically update in the chart.
Just started a week ago to learn and use Highcharts. In my application a user selects a key value from a list box and, out of that key an array of values will be retrieved and, used the data to create a multiple series of line graph. In the screenshot below the first series (in light blue color) has the name of CDEP158 and, on the second series (in black color), the series name shouldn't be 'Series 2', it should be CDT158. 'Series 2' for the second series is the issue here.
This is the chart data preparation code which accepts dataChart (result) from jquery post callback function called in a click event.
function prepareChartData(dataChart)
{
var dataSeries = [];
var xTitle;
for (var i = 0; i < dataChart.length; i++) {
var items = dataChart[i];
var xDate = +moment(items.Time);
var seriesData = parseFloat(items.Value);
dataSeries.push([xDate, seriesData]);
xTitle = items.Name;
}
if (aeChart === undefined || aeChart === null)
{
plotChartData(dataSeries, xTitle);
return;
}
aeChart.addSeries({
title: xTitle,
data: dataSeries
});
};
Function that creates a new instance of Highchart and its configuration:
function plotChartData(dataseries, xtitle)
{
aeChart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'svgtrendspace',
type: 'line',
zoomType: 'xy',
panning: true,
panKey: 'shift',
plotBorderWidth: 1
},
title: {
text: ''
},
legend: {
layout: 'horizontal',
align: 'left',
itemDistance: 10,
borderWidth: 0,
itemMarginTop: 0,
itemMarginBottom: 0,
padding: 20
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
states: {
hover: {
enabled: false
}
},
dataLabels: {
enabled: false,
format: '{y}'
},
allowPointSelect: false
}
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
labels: {
rotation: -65,
style: {
fontSize: '9px',
fontFamily: 'Verdana, sans-serif'
}
}
},
yAxis: {
gridLineColor: '#DDDDDD',
gridLineWidth: 0.5
},
series: [{
name: xtitle,
data: dataseries,
tooltip: {
pointFormat: '{series.name}: <b>{point.y}</b><br/>',
valueDecimals: 2
}
}]
});
};
Why is that the first series gets the correct name but on the second one it did not? Is my highcharts configuration wrong? How should I properly configure or format it to address the issue?
I have googled it for similar issues related with multiple series but I couldn't find any similar questions or answers that would help me.
The fact that it works for the first series implies that the issue isn't with your code, but rather is with your init.
Can you put a console.log('Title: ' + xTitle); statement right before you call aeChart.addSeries() in the above function to check on what you are passing in? My suspicion is that the second series is not being passed a title, and that HighCharts is therefore putting in Series2 on its own.
Maybe you should not be setting the value of xTitle in every single iteration of the initial for loop?
I want to dynamically change the startAngle value on my polar chart from JSON 'Wind_direction' value.
The code is below:
$(function() {
$.getJSON('wind_graph.php?callback=?', function(dataWind) {
var direction = Wind_direction;
var polarOptions = {
chart: {
polar: true,
events : {
load : function () {
setInterval(function(){
RefreshDataWind();
}, 1000);
}
}
},
title: {
text: 'Wind Direction'
},
pane: {
startAngle: direction,
},
xAxis: {
tickInterval: 15,
min: 0,
max: 360
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
pointStart: 0,
pointInterval: 30,
},
}
};
// The polar chart
$('#graph-1').highcharts(Highcharts.merge(polarOptions, {
yAxis: {
tickInterval: 5,
min: 0,
max: 25,
visible: false
},
series: [{
type: 'line',
name: 'Direction',
data: [
[0, 0],
[direction, 20]
],
}
]
}));
function RefreshDataWind()
{
var chart = $('#graph-1').highcharts();
$.getJSON('wind_graph.php?callback=?', function(dataWind)
{
var direction = Wind_direction;
chart.series[0].setData([[0,0],[direction, 20]]);
});
}
});
});
In the last function, below 'chart.series[0].setData... I was trying to add something like this:
chart.pane.setStartAngle(direction);
but this throws the error: "Cannot read property 'startAngle' of undefined"
Also was trying another one idea:
polarOptions.pane({ startAngle: direction });
but here is error: "polarOptions.pane is not a function".
So I'm stack. Please for help.
You should be able to update all chart options with Chart.update(). Unfortunately, it looks that it does not have any effect on pane - I reported the issue here.
Now you can update the pane in old-fashioned way - by destroying and creating a new chart - http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/qhY8C/
The other possibility is trying the workaround - set options for pane, remove the pane and update the axis - it should create a new pane with new options.
const xAxis = chart.xAxis[0];
chart.options.pane.startAngle = 45;
Highcharts.erase(chart.panes, xAxis.pane);
chart.yAxis[0].update(null, false);
xAxis.update();

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;

I a trying to plot some information using a flot graph but I can not get the values to appear on the graph. This code was part of a demo file included in a template and so i have modified it to plot the data rather than using a randomise for the values, i am getting no errors but the chart isn't working and was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction.
My code is here:
init: function()
{
// apply styling
charts.utility.applyStyle(this);
this.plot = $.plot(
$("#chart_simple"),
[{
label: "Jobs",
data: this.data.d1,
lines: {fillColor: "#dd3333"},
points: {fillColor: "#dd3333"}
},
{
label: "Resumes",
data: this.data.d2,
lines: {fillColor: "#282b30"},
points: {fillColor: "#282b30"}
}], this.options);
}
},
// lines chart with fill & without points
chart_lines_fill_nopoints:
{
// chart data
data:
{
d1: [[1,100], [2,150], [3,100]],
d2: [[1,100], [2,150], [3,100]]
},
// will hold the chart object
plot: null,
// chart options
options:
{
grid: {
show: true,
aboveData: true,
color: "#3f3f3f",
labelMargin: 5,
axisMargin: 0,
borderWidth: 0,
borderColor:null,
minBorderMargin: 5 ,
clickable: true,
hoverable: true,
autoHighlight: true,
mouseActiveRadius: 20,

},
series: {
grow: {active:false},
lines: {
show: true,
fill: true,
lineWidth: 2,
steps: false
},
points: {show:false}
},
legend: { position: "nw" },
yaxis: { min: 0 },
xaxis: {ticks:11, tickDecimals: 0},
colors: [],
shadowSize:1,
tooltip: true,
tooltipOpts: {
content: "%s : %y.0",
shifts: {
x: -30,
y: -50
},
defaultTheme: false
}
},
So, digging a bit, I see you are using javascript from here. Looking at a working example here, you've broken their code in the following ways:
1.) You no longer seem to have a parent charts object, so
charts.utility.applyStyle(this);
isn't going to work.
2.) The init function is part of the chart_lines_fill_nopoints object, in your cut/paste code it isn't anymore.
3.) In your sample code you never actually call the init function to draw the plot.
4.) In the options backgroundColor : { } is invalid for flot (maybe this is part of the missing charts.utility.applyStyle).
Taking all this into account here's a fiddle which makes this code work.
Generating flot plots with the above code feels unnecessarily convoluted. Perhaps it makes sense when using these templates, but if you just using this as an example of how to call flot it's not very straightforward.
Also, please next time you post a question, include all relevant information (like where you found this code and how you changed it). Taken out of context this code makes little sense.
This code is working
