Google charts - ComboChart - bars and candlesticks - charts

Question

I try create ComboChart where are bars and series of waterfall(candlestick) chart.
I dont know how to create data input for this.
Candlestick needs format like:
['Mon', 20, 28, 38, 45],
['Tue', 31, 38, 55, 66],
['Wed', 50, 55, 77, 80],
['Thu', 77, 77, 66, 50],
['Fri', 68, 66, 22, 15]
and bars in my case:
['name', 'value', { role: 'style' }],
['test1', 8, '#00f'],
['test2', 10,'#000'],
['test3', 19,'#f00'],
Is it even possible to do it ? Join bars and candlesticks ?

Answer 1

use the series option to control the chart type for each series
each series is represented by a column, or a set of columns, in the data
starting with the first column that is not the x-axis or a column role
example: the columns for the chart you describe might resemble the following...
"cols":[
// x-axis
{"label":"Category","type":"string"},
// bar series -- 0
{"label":"Bar 0","type":"number"},
// bar series -- 1
{"label":"Bar 1","type":"number"},
// waterfall series -- 2
{"label":"WF 2 - Bottom 1","type":"number"},
{"label":"WF 2 - Bottom 2","type":"number"},
{"label":"WF 2 - Top 1","type":"number"},
{"label":"WF 2 - Top 2","type":"number"},
{"role":"style","type":"string","p":{"role":"style"}},
// bar series -- 3
{"label":"Bar 3","type":"number"}
],
the candlestick chart requires 4 columns, in the above example, a style column role is also used,
as such, all five columns are considered part of series number 2
when building data for a combochart,
use null for the series values,
when they do not coincide with the same x-axis value
example data:
"rows":[
// bar (series 0 & 1) data

following is a working example of a combo chart with bars and candlesticks

{"label":"WF 2 - Top 1","type":"number"},
{"label":"WF 2 - Top 2","type":"number"},
{"role":"style","type":"string","p":{"role":"style"}},
// bar series -- 3

note: you'll notice when running the snippet in full page mode,
the chart doesn't do a very good job of aligning the x-axis labels
you may be able to manipulate the options to get them to align better,
but it will take some manipulation...
you might have better results, creating three separate charts, side-by-side
just need to make sure each has the same vAxis values,
you could hide the extra vAxis labels if needed, etc...
again, manipulation is required
example: snippet displayed best in full page mode...
