Create Pie chart for each Json object

I have one Json with multiple array and foreach array I want to create Pie chart, but I don't know how to do it.
This is the array thet I have. And this is what I tried :
function Pie() {
$.getJSON("/Admin/Attivita/OreOggi", function (data) {
console.log(data);
var oreTecico = [];
var oreTecico = [];
var oreMalatia = [];
var oreStraordinario = [];
var oreInfortunio = [];
var oreFerie = [];
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
nomeTecnico.push(data[i].nome);
oreTecico.push(data[i].odinario);
oreMalatia.push(data[i].malatia);
oreStraordinario.push(data[i].straordinario);
oreInfortunio.push(data[i].infortunio);
oreFerie.push(data[i].ferie);
};
// Build the chart
Highcharts.chart('zdravko', {
chart: {
plotBackgroundColor: null,
plotBorderWidth: null,
plotShadow: false,
type: 'pie'
},
title: {
text: 'Ore segnate oggi'
},
tooltip: {
pointFormat: '<b>{point.name}</b>: {point.y:.1f} h.'
},
accessibility: {
point: {
valueSuffix: '%'
}
},
plotOptions: {
pie: {
allowPointSelect: true,
cursor: 'pointer',
dataLabels: {
enabled: false
},
showInLegend: true
}
},
series: [{
name: nomeTecnico[0],
colorByPoint: true,
data: [{
name: '',
y:0,
sliced: true,
selected: true
}, {
name: 'Odinario',
y: oreTecico[0]
}, {
name: 'Malatia',
y: oreMalatia[0]
}, {
name: 'Straordinario',
y: oreStraordinario[0]
}, {
name: 'Infortunio',
y: oreInfortunio[0]
}, {
name: 'Ferie',
y: oreFerie[0]
}]
}]
});
});
}
It shows only the last "data". I want to make fo each array one pie. If i have 100 arrays I want 100 pies.
UPDATE:
I added this :
data.forEach(function (el) {
var chartData = [el.data1, el.data2];
var chartContainer = document.createElement('div');
document.getElementById('zdravko').append(chartContainer);
Highcharts.chart(chartContainer, {
series: [{
type: 'pie',
data: chartData
}]
});
});
The chartData is array of undefined objects.
Is it possible to make for or foreach inside Highcharts?

You need to use the Highcharts.chart method in a loop, for example:
var data = [{
data1: 12,
data2: 25
}, {
data1: 67,
data2: 11
}];
data.forEach(function(el) {
var chartData = [el.data1, el.data2];
var chartContainer = document.createElement('div');
document.getElementById('container').append(chartContainer);
Highcharts.chart(chartContainer, {
series: [{
type: 'pie',
data: chartData
}]
});
});

How to add data tables to dynamically generated highcharts

I want to add data tables to Charts.
I tried the implementation shown here: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/z9zXM/
but it didnt work for me.
I suspect its because how I instantiate highcharts.
in the example above the chart is generated by instantiating the Highcharts object.
my code:
// data from an ajax call
$.each(data, function(indicator, questions) {
indicator_type = "";
$.each(questions, function(question, value) {
dataChartType = "column";
series = [];
categories = [];
category_totals = {};
if(value.programs == null) {
return true;
}
$.each(value.programs, function(program, body) {
total = 0;
values = [];
$.each(body, function(j, k) {
if (categories.indexOf(j) == -1) {
categories.push(j);
category_totals[j] = 0;
}
if(k != 0) {
values.push(k);
} else {
values.push(null);
}
category_totals[j] += parseInt(k, 10);
total += k;
});
series.push({
data: values,
total: total,
name: program //question
});
}); // eo each program
var chartDiv = document.createElement('div');
chartDiv.className = "chart";
$('.charts_wrap').append(chartDiv);
$(chartDiv).highcharts({
events: {
load: Highcharts.drawTable
},
chart: {
type: dataChartType
},
xAxis: {
categories: categories
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF',
align: 'right',
verticalAlign: 'top',
y: 60,
x: -60
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function () {
return '<strong>' + this.series.name + '</strong><br/>' + this.x + ': ' + this.y;
}
},
plotOptions: {
line: {
connectNulls: true
},
column: {
stacking: 'normal',
dataLabels: {
enabled: false,
color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.dataLabelsColor) || 'white',
style: {
textShadow: '0 0 3px w'
}
}
}
},
series: series,
title:{ text: indicator },
subtitle:{ text: question }
});
}); // EO each question
}); // eo each indicator

When instantiating highcharts like this:
$("#container").highcharts({ ...
The events option needs to be included inside the charts option:
$("#container").highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'column',
events: {
load: Highcharts.drawTable
},
},
...

Highcharts bar chart wont animate

Not sure why because I have done it in the past, but I have a Highcharts bar chart and it won't animate. This is the declaration of the chart,
function initializeData() {
$http.get(url).success(function(ret) {
$scope.jsondata = ret;
var newdata = [];
for (x = 0; x < 5; x++) {
newdata.push({
name: setName($scope.jsondata[x].name),
y: $scope.jsondata[x].data[0],
color: getColor($scope.jsondata[x].data[0])
});
}
$scope.chart.series[0].setData(newdata);
});
mainInterval = $interval(updateData, 5000);
}
function updateData() {
$http.get(url).success(function(ret) {
$scope.jsondata = ret;
console.debug("here");
for (x = 0; x < 5; x++) {
$scope.chart.series[0].data[x].update({
y: $scope.jsondata[x].data[0],
color: getColor($scope.jsondata[x].data[0])
});
}
});
}
$scope.chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'bar',
animation: true,
events: {
load: initializeData
}
},
title: {
text: ''
},
xAxis: {
type: 'category',
labels: {
style: {
fontSize: '11px'
}
}
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
max: 100,
title: {
text: 'Total Score',
align: 'high'
}
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
tooltip: {
pointFormat: 'Total Score <b>{point.y:.3f}</b>'
},
series: [{
name: 'Active Users',
data: [],
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
rotation: 30,
style: {
fontSize: '10px',
fontFamily: 'Verdana, sans-serif'
},
format: '{point.y:.3f}', // one decimal
}
}]
});
And as you can see I have animate : true, so I am not sure what is the problem here. I have this older plunker where all of the data is in separate series, but it animates fine. But this is the plunker I am working on and having trouble with. They are like identical basically. In the newer one I broke out the initialization of data into its own method, but that is the only real main difference.
Some edits:
So as I was saying, I have done things this way with an areaspline chart (I know it was said they work a bit different but they are set up identically).
function initializeData() {
$interval.cancel(mainInterval);
$scope.previousPackets = '';
$http.get("https://api.myjson.com/bins/nodx").success(function(returnedData) {
var newdata = [];
var x = (new Date()).getTime();
for (var step = 9; step >= 0; step--) {
newdata.push([x - 1000 * step, 0]);
}
$scope.chart.series[0].setData(newdata);
});
mainInterval = $interval(updateData, 2000);
}
function updateData() {
$http.get(url + acronym + '/latest').success(function(returnedData) {
var x = (new Date()).getTime();
if ($scope.previousPackets != returnedData[0].numPackets) {
$scope.chart.series[0].addPoint([x, returnedData[0].numPackets], true, true);
$scope.previousPackets = returnedData[0].numPackets;
} else {
$scope.chart.series[0].addPoint([x, 0], true, true);
}
});
}
$scope.chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'areaspline',
animation: Highcharts.svg, // don't animate in old IE
marginRight: 10,
events: {
load: initializeData
}
},
title: {
text: ''
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
tickPixelInterval: 150
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Packets'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#d9534f'
}]
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function() {
return Highcharts.numberFormat(this.y) + ' packets<b> | </b>' + Highcharts.dateFormat('%H:%M:%S', this.x);
}
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Packets',
data: []
}]
});
I also updated the first chunk of code with the initializeData() method and updateData() method which are seemingly identical in both different charts.

It looks like it plays an important role if you provide your data at chart initialization or after. For simplicity I refactored your code a little
function initializeChart(initialData, onload) {
$scope.chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'bar',
animation: true,
events: {
load: onload
}
....
series: [{
name: 'Active Users',
data: initialData,
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
format: '{point.y:.3f}', // one decimal
}
}]
});
}
function getData(callback) {
$http.get(url).success(function(ret) {
$scope.jsondata = ret;
var newdata = [];
for (x = 0; x < 5; x++) {
newdata.push([setName(ret[x].name), ret[x].data]);
}
callback(newdata);
});
}
As a result your two planks are in essense reduced to two methods below. The first initializes chart with preloaded data and the second updates data in existing chart.
function readDataFirst() {
getData(function(newdata) {
initializeChart(newdata);
});
}
function initializeChartFirst() {
initializeChart([], function() {
getData(function(newdata) {
$scope.chart.series[0].setData(newdata);
})
});
}
The first one animates fine while the second does not. It looks like highcharts skips animation if dataset is not initial and is treated incompatible.
However if you really want to have animation in your current plant (chart first workflow) you can achieve that by initializing first serie with zeros and then with the real data. This case it will be treated as update
function forceAnimationByDoubleInitialization() {
getData(function(newdata) {
initializeChart([]);
var zerodata = newdata.map(function(item) {
return [item[0], 0]
});
$scope.chart.series[0].setData(zerodata);
$scope.chart.series[0].setData(newdata);
});

HighStock graphic data array format

im using HighStock multiple series: http://www.highcharts.com/stock/demo/compare
The problem is that my application gives me this data format:
[data1],
[data2],
and HighStock is expecting this:
[
[data1],
[data2],
]
My JS for loading data is:
$(function () {
var seriesOptions = [],
seriesCounter = 0,
names = ['MSFT', 'AAPL', 'GOOG'],
// create the chart when all data is loaded
createChart = function () {
$('#graph1').highcharts('StockChart', {
legend: {
enabled: true,
align: 'center',
verticalAlign: 'bottom',
},
credits:{
enabled: false
},
title: {
text: 'Bitcoin Exchanges'
},
rangeSelector: {
selected: 4
},
yAxis: {
labels: {
formatter: function () {
return (this.value > 0 ? ' + ' : '') + this.value + '%';
}
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 2,
color: 'silver'
}]
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
compare: 'percent'
}
},
tooltip: {
pointFormat: '<span style="color:{series.color}">{series.name}</span>: <b>{point.y}</b> ({point.change}%)<br/>',
valueDecimals: 2
},
series: seriesOptions
});
};
$.each(names, function (i, name) {
$.getJSON('http://www.highcharts.com/samples/data/jsonp.php?filename=' + name.toLowerCase() + '-c.json&callback=?', function (data) {
seriesOptions[i] = {
name: name,
data: data
};
seriesCounter += 1;
if (seriesCounter === names.length) {
createChart();
}
});
});
});
How can I push that data to an parent array so the library can consume it?
Thanks in advance.

addPoint using highcharts (javascript)
