I have a line graph that receives and displays real-time data. I would like to have the last point of the line be a circle that blinks slowly to reinforce the idea that the graph is real-time. Note that the showSymbol attribute of the series is false.
Is there any way to do this on echarts?
To display a point on the last point of your data, you can use a markPoint.
But it doesn't have an option to make it blink so you can instead use a trick like changing its itemStyle.opacity periodically.
Here is an example : (you can copy the following code at the end of this echart example to try it out)
var v = 0
setInterval(function () {
v = v + 0.01
if(v >= 1) {
v = 0.2
}
myChart.setOption({
series: [
{
markPoint: {
animation: false,
symbol: 'circle',
data: [
{
xAxis: data[data.length-1].value[0],
yAxis: data[data.length-1].value[1],
symbolSize: 10,
itemStyle: {
opacity: v
},
}
]
},
}
]
});
}, 20);
There you have a blinking point on the last point of a real-time graphe. You can easily change the way the markPoint looks (shape, color, position ...) : see markPoint doc.

How do I color each boxes individually in an echarts box-plot based on a function?
The following function works on a simple bar chart and colors the bars appropriately:
series: [{
data: [120, 200, 150, 80, 70, 110, 130],
type: 'bar',
showBackground: true,
itemStyle: {
color: function(seriesIndex) {
return ProfessionColor[seriesIndex.name.split("_", 1).toString()]
},
},
}]
However, it does not work on a box-plot:
series: [{
name: 'boxplot',
type: 'boxplot',
datasetIndex: 1,
itemStyle: {
color: function(seriesIndex) {
return ProfessionColor[seriesIndex.name.split('_', 1)];
}
},
encode: {
tooltip: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
}
},
{
name: 'outlier',
type: 'scatter',
encode: {
x: 1,
y: 0
},
datasetIndex: 2
}
]
If I provide color: "red" rather than a function all boxes are colored red. This leads me to believe that it needs to happen in the transform.config which I can't find in the documents or tutorial.
Echarts Box-Plot currently
The link is the complete charts in its current form.
Apparently, echarts only allows scripting (i.e., using a function for) either the line color -- option itemStyle.borderColor or the fill color -- option itemStyle.color.
The difference between the two appears to be made by the value of the internal property BoxplotSeriesModel#visualDrawType. It is now set to "stroke", which means that borderColor can be set via a function.
Since you wanted to set the fill color, its value should be set to "fill". I searched a way to change that property - it was rather difficult for echarts don't document an API for extensions. Still, navigating the source code I came up with this hacky solution:
const BoxplotSeriesModel = echarts.ComponentModel.getClassesByMainType('series').find(cls=>cls.type==='series.boxplot');
const BoxplotSeriesModelFill = function(...args){
const _this = new BoxplotSeriesModel(...args);
_this.visualDrawType = 'fill';
return _this;
}
BoxplotSeriesModelFill.type = BoxplotSeriesModel.type;
echarts.ComponentModel.registerClass(BoxplotSeriesModelFill);
That's a "patch" to be applied at the beginning of your script, immediately after you have the echarts global defined.
Here's a forked version of your code that uses that patch. The only other change I made was to set a borderColor (can now only be a fixed value) to black.
This will not get you all the way, but if you add colorBy: "data" to your options and remove the itemStyle, it will look like this:
I`m struggling with the esthetic aspect of my chart. Actually it lookes like this:
Chart is showing data over time in 10mins intervals. With that number of labels it`s hard to see what column matches to time.
I would like to create ticks like on the image, so the chart would be way more readable. I looked into documentatnion and tried this but without effect:
scales: {
xAxes: [
{
ticks: {
drawTicks: true,
},
},
],
Pasting the answer from the comment section,
best way to work with ticks is by using callback function eg:
ticks: {
callback: function (value: any, index: any, ticks: any) {
return 'What you want to return';
},
}
I am trying to draw a Critical Power Chart like this:
The data I get is linear. One value for every second from 1 up to 18000.
I have no clue how to teach flot to draw an non-linear x-axis.
I tried to set custom ticks, but this seems to just have impact to the labels, not the line.
The x axis ticks will always be the same and don't need to be calculated:
[1s,5s,15s,30s,1m,2m,3m,5m,10m,20m30m,1h,2h,3h,5h]
Playground including tons of data: https://jsfiddle.net/ogeo2ygx/6/
Code:
$.plot($("#cpChart"), [{data: data,label: "Critical Power", labelBoxBorderColor: 0, color: '#cbcbcb',yaxis:1,lines: { show: true, fill: true } }], {
xaxes: [{
//here should be some Magic to Draw an nice Critical Power Chart
tickFormatter: (t, v) => {
return t + "s";
}
}],
yaxes: [{
alignTicksWithAxis: 1,
position: "left",
tickFormatter: (t, v) => {
return t.toFixed(0) + " Watt"
}
}],
legend: {
position: 'sw',
labelBoxBorderColor: 0
},
colors: ["#1ab394"],
grid: {
color: "#999999",
clickable: true,
tickColor: "#D4D4D4",
borderWidth: 0,
hoverable: true
}
});
You can achieve that (which is called logarithmic scale) with two steps:
Transform the x-axis values using the Math.log function (with a +1 because the logarithm of zero is -infinity).
Define a custom ticks array with your ticks.
See the documentation for more information.
Relevant code:
xaxes: [{
ticks: [[1, '1s'],[5, '5s'], [15, '15s'],[30, '30s'],[60, '1m'],[120, '2m'],[180, '3m'], [300, '5m'], [600, '10m'], [1200, '20m'], [1800, '30m'],[3600, '1h'], [7200, '2h'], [10800, '3h'], [18000, '5h']],
transform: (x) => { return Math.log(1 + x); },
inverseTransform: (x) => { return Math.exp(x) - 1; }
}],

I want to switch from Highcharts to ECharts (preferably 3), but my current graphs have multiple series ('lines' in my case), with each their own yaxis, and it seems ECharts doesn't support this.
These metrics do not relate at all, so they all need their own yaxis. I combine them in 1 chart so they can be compared relative to each other (500 visits, €30000, 3% conversion.. etc). It makes no sense to plot 500 visits and 3% conversion rate on the same yaxis.
Is there a way to give each line it's own yaxis? It doesn't have to be a visible one (since there can only be two with ECharts, left/right of canvas, and that's ok), but the data needs to be plotted to an individual axis.
try this
yAxis: [
{
type: 'value',
name: 'left_yaxis',
nameTextStyle: {
color: '#fff'
},
splitLine:{
show:false,
},
axisLabel: {
textStyle:{
color:'#fff',
}
}
},
{
type: 'value',
name: 'right_yaxis',
nameTextStyle: {
color: '#fff'
},
axisLabel: {
interval:'0',
textStyle:{
color:'#fff',
}
},
splitLine: {
lineStyle: {
color: ['#454545'],
}
},
min:0,
//max:800000,
splitNumber:5
}
],
Here ar example from echarts for dual y axis:
example 1
example 2
You can add more than one y axis in echarts by making yaxis element as a array
Yes, ECharts supports multi-axis. See example at ECharts Gallery.
I'm looking for a way to create what come to know to be called a "bubble chart" for a website I'm building. It needs to be compatible with IE7 and above, and of course all the good browsers like Firefox, Chrome and Safari. And no flash since this thing will need to run on iOS.
The chart needs to look like this, http://www.flickr.com/photos/jgrahamthomas/5591441300/
I've browse online and tried a few things, including:
Google Scatter Charts. This doesn't work as it seems Google Charts limits the size of a point to something smaller than I need. And Venn Diagrams are limited to three circles.
Protovis Dots. Great library, but isn't compatible with IE8.
Raphael Javascript. This one might be my best bet, but there's no explicit support for bubble charts.
Thanks for your help.
It looks like Raphael javascript is the way to go. It's compatible with IE6. I found a great tutorial at http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/an-introduction-to-the-raphael-js-library/ and am able to get the example working on my rails site with this code:
# window.onload = function() {
# var paper = new Raphael(document.getElementById('canvas_container'), 500, 500);
# var circle = paper.circle(100, 100, 80);
# for(var i = 0; i < 5; i+=1) {
# var multiplier = i*5;
# paper.circle(250 + (2*multiplier), 100 + multiplier, 50 - multiplier)
# }
# var rectangle = paper.rect(200, 200, 250, 100);
# var ellipse = paper.ellipse(200, 400, 100, 50);
# }
You can give Protovis a chance, the library looks good for your needs: http://vis.stanford.edu/protovis/ex/
Another charting library is Highcharts, but I haven't tried it yet: http://www.highcharts.com/
Have you had a look at flot?
It's a plotting library for jQuery. While it technically doesn't have any "native" support for bubble charts it is possible to create bubble charts with it by using a few tricks, the simplest one probably being to simply put each point in its own data series (thus allowing you to control the radius of each individual point.
By defining your points similar to this you'll be able to create a bubble chart:
var dataSet = [{
color:"rgba(0,0,0,0)", // Set the color so it's transparent
shadowSize:0, // No drop shadow effect
data: [[0,1],], // Coordinates of the point, normally you'd have several
// points listed here...
points: {
show:true,
fill:true,
radius: 2, // Here we set the radius of the point (or rather, all points
// in the data series which in this case is just one)
fillColor: "rgba(255,140,0,1)", // Bright orange :D
}
},
/* Insert more points here */
];
There is a bubble chart available for flot here
Note that you need to scale your bubbles size yourself if you don't want them to coverup the graph. Documentation is here.
To use it, add the following at the beggining of your html page:
and call it from a json result or any data object like in this sample:
$.getJSON('myQuery.py?'+params, function(oJson) {
// ... Some validation here to see if the query worked well ...
$.plot('#myContainer',
// ---------- Series ----------
[{
label: 'Line Sample',
data: oJson.lineData,
color: 'rgba(192, 16, 16, .2)',
lines: { show: true },
points: { show: false }
},{
label: 'Bubble Sample',
data: oJson.bubbleData, // arrays of [x,y,size]
color: 'rgba(80, 224, 80, .5)',
lines: { show: false },
points: { show: false },
},{
label: 'Points sample',
data: oJson.pointsData,
color: 'rgba(255, 255, 0, 1)',
lines: { show: false },
points: { show: true, fillColor: 'rgba(255, 255, 0, .8)' }
},{
...other series
}],
// ---------- Options ----------
{ legend: {
show: true,
labelBoxBorderColor: 'rgba(32, 32, 32, .2)',
noColumns: 6,
position: "se",
backgroundColor: 'rgba(224, 224, 224, .2)',
backgroundOpacity: .2,
sorted: false
},
series: {
bubbles: { active: true, show: true, fill: true, linewidth: 2 }
},
grid: { hoverable: true, clickable: true } },
xaxis: { tickLength: 0 }
}); // End of plot call
// ...
}); // End of getJSON call
I tried to do the same thing with jqPlot which has some advantages but doesn't work with bubbles and other kind of series on the same graph. Also Flot does a better job to synchronise common axis scale with many series. Highchart does a really good job here (mixing bubble chart with other kind of series) but isn't free for us (government context).
