I am trying to get a spline chart with 2 series that updates every few seconds. I have spent lots of time searching through various examples and I can get many different things to work but NOT this. I just cant seem to find an example that is exactly what I am trying to do out there.
I have the following json that is returned via ajax:
[{"name":"Test1","data":[[1415567095000,2117]]},{"name":"Test2","data":[[1415567095000,2414]]}]
Below is what I have for the chart definition. This is a slightly modified example that I found but I just cant figure out how to get this to work. I know that it should not be that complex and since I am new to javascript, I suspect it will be something simple that I just don't see. I know that I need to define multiple series and then perform addPoint with a shift but I cant seem to get it to work.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var options = {
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'spline',
},
title: {
text: 'Dynamic RPS'
},
subtitle: {
text: 'US East'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
title: {
text: 'RPS '
}
},
plotOptions: {
column: {
pointPadding: 0.2,
borderWidth: 0
}
},
series: [{}]
};
setInterval(function() {
$.getJSON('test.php', function(data) {
options.series = data;
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
});
}, 20000);
});
</script>
Any help is greatly appreciated !!
Assuming your test.php will return a single new point on each call, I'd code it like this:
var chart = null;
function callAjax(){
$.getJSON('test.php', function(data) {
if (chart === null){ // first call, create the chart
options.series = data;
chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
} else {
var seriesOneNewPoint = data[0].data[0]; // subsequent calls, just get the point and add it
var seriesTwoNewPoint = data[1].data[0];
chart.series[0].addPoint(seriesOneNewPoint, false, false); // first false is don't redraw until both series are updated
chart.series[1].addPoint(seriesTwoNewPoint, true, false); // second false is don't shift
}
setTimeout(callAjax, 20000); // queue up next ajax call
});
}
callAjax();
Here's an example. Note, it just draws the same point over and over again.

I have a simple Highchart with a dataset of up to 1000 datas. There are only y values the x values are generated automatically. Also, the values come from my nodejs server so please don't be surprised about the notation.
Now I want 3 special values whose x and y values are known to be highlighted. In which way doesn't matter for now.
One possibility would be to show the point at the location, otherwise they are not displayed. The problem I have is that I don't know how to control a specific point.
var chart1 = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'chart-emg1',
type: 'line'
},
title: {
text: 'EMG 1'
},
xAxis: {
tickInterval: 1
},
yAxis: {
title: { text: 'Voltage'}
},
series: [{
data: [<%-data1 %>]
}]
});
You can use the load event and update specific points. For example:
events: {
load: function() {
this.series[0].points.forEach(point => {
const isPointToHighlight = pointsToHighlight.some(
p => p.x === point.x && p.y === point.y
);
if (isPointToHighlight) {
point.update({
color: 'red',
marker: {
enabled: true
}
}, false);
}
});
this.redraw();
}
}
Live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/tLd3j78f/
API Reference:
https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/chart.events.load
https://api.highcharts.com/class-reference/Highcharts.Point#update
So, What I have is a condition in a MySQL to show the first 1000 data points first and then the other 2000 datapoints after that in Highcharts.
if lastindex==0:
cur.execute("SELECT data,value FROM table where id<1001")
else:
cur.execute("SELECT data,value FROM table where id>1001 and id<3000")
data = cur.fetchall()
//python Code to fetch SQL data
Now what I am doing is that I am rendering that data into the Highcharts, the data is being rendered. but the problem arises that after showing the first 1000 data points, the Highcharts value starts from 0 and then shows the other 2000 points
the data is not displaying continuously as it should plot the send array data just after the end of the first data.
I think the Highcharts is being called Twice, What can I do to append the 2nd set of data to the first set without reloading the whole chart.
Here's a snip of my Highchart's js
Highcharts.chart("chartcontainer", {
chart: {
type: 'line',
animation: Highcharts.svg, // don't animate in old IE
marginRight: 10,
events: {
load: function() {
var series = this.series[0],
chart = this;
setInterval(function() {
//some logic regarding the chart
//..
v = {
y: y,
x: x
};
console.log("V value", v);
series.addSeries(v, false, true);
counter++;
localcounter++;
} else
{
oldcounter=counter;
flagToreload=1;
}
}, 1000/130);
setInterval(function() {
chart.redraw(false);
}, 100);
}
}
},
time: {
useUTC: false
},
title: {
text: 'Live random data'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'Value',
gridLineWidth: 1
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Value'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}],
gridLineWidth: 1
},
tooltip: {
headerFormat: '<b>{series.name}</b><br/>',
pointFormat: '{point.x:%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}<br/>{point.y:.2f}'
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
animation: false,
name: 'Random data',
data: (function() {
// generate an array of random data
var data = [],
time = counter,
i;
for (i = -1000; i <= 0; i += 1) {
data.push([
counter,
null
]);
}
return data;
}())
}]
});
What I want is just to append the event data rather than loading the whole chart.
How can I reload a particular Highchart value without reloading the whole chart ?
What do you think about updating the current series with new data, which will be an array of old data merged with the new one?
chart: {
events: {
load(){
let chart = this,
currentSeries = chart.series[0],
newData;
newData = [...currentSeries.userOptions.data, ...data1]
setTimeout(()=> {
chart.series[0].update({
data: newData
})
}, 5000)
}
}
},

Right now I have a simple column chart with following code using Highcharts:
$(document).ready(function() {
var options = {
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'column'
},
title: {
//some code
},
xAxis: {
categories: []
},
yAxis: {
//some code
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
borderWidth: 0,
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
format: '{point.y}'
}
}
},
legend: {
//some code
},
series: []
};
$.getJSON("data/column.php", function(json) {
options.xAxis.categories = json[0]['data'];
options.series[0] = json[1];
chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
});
});
I now want to add a line chart to the same container, using exactly the same options (despite of the chart type). The date is also served via JSON.
How can I achieve this?
What I did so far:
I created a second variable "options2" with values chart and series.
Then I called
$.getJSON("data/line.php", function(json) {
options.xAxis.categories = json[0]['data'];
options2.series[1] = json[1];
chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options2);
});
But that only shows the first column chart.
Probably you should try use $.merge to prevent object edition.
Try this
$.getJSON("data/column.php", function(json) {
// Merge objects
var newOptions = $.extend({}, options);
// Edit new object instead of old
newOptions.xAxis.categories = json[0]['data'];
newOptions.series[0] = json[1];
chart = new Highcharts.Chart( newOptions );
});
Solved it by passing the series option (chart type) directly via JSON.
I added the "type:line" to the data array, which then overrides previously set options within the script tag.
I have a ASP.NET MVC project with SignalR.
I have a page with a HighChart and the script looks like this:
$(function () {
window.Highcharts.setOptions({
global: {
useUTC: false
}
});
var chart;
$(document).ready(function () {
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'line',
marginRight: 10
},
title: {
text: 'GMAS Queues'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
tickInterval: 500,
labels: {
enabled: false
}
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Queue Count'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Processing Queues'
}]
});
});
$.connection.hub.logging = true;
// Reference the auto-generated proxy for the hub.
var chartData = $.connection.processingQueuesHub;
// Create a function that the hub can call back to display messages.
chartData.client.updateQueueCounts = function (data) {
//$.each(data, function(i, item) {
// // Add the message to the page.
// $('#chartDataLog').append('<li><strong>' + htmlEncode(item.QueueName)
// + '</strong>: ' + htmlEncode(item.Length) + '</li>');
//});
// set up the updating of the chart.
var series = chart.series[0];
$.each(data, function (i, item) {
if (item.QueueName == "Queue A") {
var x = Date.parse(item.Date),
y = item.Length;
series.addPoint([x, y], true, false);
}
});
};
However, I see the graph but not the points.
The strange part is the series data points are there:
Anyone know why HighCharts is not rendering the points?
Thanks, Bill N
I have to thank my good friend and co developer for figuring this out. He is a smarter and braver man than me. :) He went to the highcharts source and found that the highcharts breaks if you add to the graph series before the initial animation is completed. The animation is why the clip-rect is zero-width (it animates from zero to full width over 1s when you first create the chart). You end up adding a point to the series before this animation even really starts. This kills the animation but it doesn’t fix the width of the clip-rect. The fix is to add animation is false for the series.
series: [{ name: 'Processing Queues', data: [], animation: false }]
It looks like you are not defining what your chart.series is until it is created. The line in your ajax is as follows and its not waiting for DOM ready:
var series = chart.series[0];
But you do not define chart until $(document).ready(function () {.... Try keeping your chart object in scope of your ajax.
I'm trying to display information on Highcharts from the forecast.io api. With the help of others on this site, I have figured out how to call the data using a simple line or area chart; however, I can't figure out how to with the columnRange chart. I want to display the daily min and max temperature forecast. So the top column would display today's min and max temp, and the next column would be tomorrows, and so on.
To call the min and max for today from forecast.io:
data.daily.data[0].temperatureMin
data.daily.data[0].temperatureMax
Tomorrows would have a "1" instead of a 0. The day after would have a "2".
I haven't been able to figure out how to make a function that does this for each day. I have a jsfiddile which includes my forecast.io API key. This is needed to call from the source.
Anyways, any help would be much appreciated! http://jsfiddle.net/nn51895/gjw9m1qo/2/
(my x axis labels are really messed up as you will see..)
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({

url: "https://api.forecast.io/forecast/87a7dd82a91b0b765d2576872f2a3826/53.479324,-2.248485",
jsonp: "callback",
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function(chart) {
var dataArr = new Array();
var height = chart.xAxis[0].height;
var pointRange = chart.daily.data[0].temperatureMax - chart.daily.data[0].temperatureMin;
var max = chart.daily.data[0].temperatureMax;
var min = chart.daily.data[0].temperatureMin;
var pointCount = (max - min) / pointRange;
var timeint = chart.daily.data[0].time;
for(var i=0; i<chart.daily.data.length; i++)
dataArr.push(chart.daily.data[i].temperatureMin);
plotChart(dataArr, timeint)
}
});
First of all, as said in the comment:
success: function (chart) {
...
var height = chart.xAxis[0].height;
}
You are trying to get for some unknown reason height of xAxis from the chart. Meanwhile you chart variable is referring to the data from AJAX call. I hope that's clear, so remove that line or change to:
success: function (chart) {
var myChart = $('#container').highcharts();
var dataArr = new Array();
var height = myChart.xAxis[0].height;
}
Second thing, that option:
data: 'ChartData',
Is wrong, there should be an empty array, since Highcharts requires array for data, not some string:
data: [],
Now, after fixing these bugs, you should go to this demo and create the same data format. That's example for required format for Highcharts.
More about series.data can be found in API reference - you need to read this.
