First of all, sorry for combining multiple questions in to one. The only reason is all of them are related (hopefully) to one particular chart type.
QUESTION 1: The horizontal baseline is not appearing.
Actual
Requirement
QUESTION 2: Fraction values.
Is there a way to display only integers? I don't need fraction values in grid lines. Please see the above screenshot.
QUESTION 3: Vertical Line annotation text placement.
The annotation text for the vertical black bold line is coming to the right of it hence it is getting cut. Please see the second chart in the following screenshot
This actually needs to appear like this (to the bottom of the line and the annotation text needs to come a bit below base line labels). Please see the following screenshot
Is that is not possible, is there any way to place the annotation text to the left of this line so that it doesn't get cut and the entire annotation text stays inside the chart?
Below is the chart script I am using:
google.charts.load('current', {packages: ['corechart', 'bar']});
google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawHorizontalChart_portal_name_stella_york_horz_month_points);
function drawHorizontalChart_portal_name_stella_york_horz_month_points() {
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
["", "Goal Achieved", {role: 'style'}, "GOAL 13.1 points", {role: 'style'}, {role: 'annotation'}],
["", 1.5, "opacity: .75;", 13.1, "opacity: 0;", "GOAL 13.1 points"]
]);
var view = new google.visualization.DataView(data);
view.setColumns([0, 1, {
calc: "stringify",
sourceColumn: 1,
type: "string",
role: "annotation"
}, 3, 4, 5]);
var options = {
title: '',

},

}
} // Target Goal
}
};
var chart = new google.visualization.BarChart(document.getElementById("portal-name-stella-york-horz-month-points"));
chart.draw(view, options);
drawVAxisLine(chart, 13.1);
}
jQuery(window).resize(function() {
drawHorizontalChart_portal_name_stella_york_horz_month_points();
});
function drawVAxisLine(chart, value) {
var layout = chart.getChartLayoutInterface();
var chartArea = layout.getChartAreaBoundingBox();
var svg = chart.getContainer().getElementsByTagName('svg')[0];
var xLoc = layout.getXLocation(value)
svg.appendChild(createLine(xLoc, chartArea.top + chartArea.height, xLoc, chartArea.top, '#000000', 2)); // axis line
}
function createLine(x1, y1, x2, y2, color, w) {
var line = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'line');
line.setAttribute('x1', x1);
line.setAttribute('y1', y1);
line.setAttribute('x2', x2);
line.setAttribute('y2', y2);
line.setAttribute('stroke', color);
line.setAttribute('stroke-width', w);
return line;
}
1) horizontal baseline
the horizontal baseline does not appear because you have a string value in the first column
this creates a discrete axis
// string used here --> ["", 1.5, "opacity: .75;", 13.1, "opacity: 0;", "GOAL 13.1 points"]
instead, use a continuous x-axis (number, date, etc...)
// number --> [1, 1.5, "opacity: .75;", 13.1, "opacity: 0;", "GOAL 13.1 points"]
in order to hide the axis label, as done using the string, we can provide custom axis ticks
we can use object notation to provide both the value (v:) and the formatted value (f:)
which allows us to provide an empty string for the formatted value
just make sure the tick value matches the value provided in the first column above.
vAxis: {
gridlines: {
color: 'transparent'
},
ticks: [{v: 1, f: ''}]
}
note: a continuous axis will also cause other gridlines to appear,
we can remove those by making them transparent...
2) Fraction values
we can provide a format string for the axis labels...
hAxis: {
format: '0' // <-- format as integer
},
3) annotation text placement
the only available option here is stem.length
we can provide a negative value to move the annotation to the left...
stem: {
color: 'transparent',
length: -128
},
however, the actual position will not remain constant as the chart is resized
when the chart is smaller, the text will be farther away from the line (larger closer).
instead, we can manually move the annotation text, on the chart's 'ready' event.
but we should still use a negative stem length, to ensure the annotation appears to the left, and prevent from being cut. otherwise, we'll end up moving a cut annotation.
and since we're moving the annotation below the axis,
we need to increase chartArea.bottom or else it will be cut there as well.
finally, the chart will reset the annotation's position on any interactivity,
such as hover. we must use a MutationObserver to keep the annotation in the new position.
see following working snippet...
google.charts.load('current', {
packages: ['corechart']
}).then(drawHorizontalChart_portal_name_stella_york_horz_month_points);
function drawHorizontalChart_portal_name_stella_york_horz_month_points() {

I am creating a horizontal bar chart using Google charts and I want to position the horizontal axis tick labels between ticks (offset tick label to the right by half a tick). There is also no guarantee that each label will be the same number of characters. Is there any functionality to achieve this?
This is my function for creating the chart
function drawChart() {
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
["Performance", "Level", { role: "style" }],
["PL", 1.01, "#5aa66d"]
]);
var view = new google.visualization.DataView(data);
view.setColumns([0, 1,
{
calc: function (dt, rowIndex) { return 'PL=' + (dt.getValue(rowIndex, 1)).toString()} ,
sourceColumn: 1,
type: "string",
role: "annotation"
},
2]);
var options = {
width: 600,
height: 100,
bar: { groupWidth: "80%" },
legend: { position: "none" },
hAxis: {
minValue: 0,
maxValue: 3,
ticks: [
{ v: 0, f: 'Col1' },
{ v: 1, f: 'Col2' },
{ v: 2, f: 'Col3' },
{ v: 3, f: 'Col4' }
]
}
};
var chart = new google.visualization.BarChart(document.getElementById("barchart_values"));
chart.draw(view, options);
}
This is the chart currently
https://imgur.com/LvQEbtY
and this is what I want to achieve:
https://imgur.com/hwvIOG2
EDIT:
For ideas, right before chart.draw I add an event listener and find all the text tags and modify the 'x' attribute to re-position the tick labels. This works, but it also affects the on-bar data label which is a problem.
google.visualization.events.addListener(chart, 'ready', function () {
var elements = document.getElementById("barchart_values").getElementsByTagName("text");
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
elements[i].setAttribute('x', (Number(elements[i].getAttribute('x')) + (chart.getChartLayoutInterface().getBoundingBox('chartarea').width / 4 / 2))); //chart width / tick count / 2
}
});
first, we won't be able to offset the grid lines and use the ticks option.
let's offset the grid lines by making the major transparent and the minor visible.
we can also offset the baseline by setting to a negative value.
baseline: -0.5,
minorGridlines: {
color: '#cccccc',
count: 1
},
gridlines: {
color: 'transparent',
count: 4
},
then, in order to have custom tick labels, we can use your original idea to change them manually.
just need a unique attribute to separate them from the bar labels.
here, the text-anchor attribute is used.
if (elements[i].getAttribute('text-anchor') === 'middle') {
elements[i].textContent = 'Col' + parseInt(elements[i].textContent) + 1;
}
see following working snippet...
google.charts.load('current', {
packages:['corechart']
}).then(function () {
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
["Performance", "Level", { role: "style" }],
["PL", 1.01, "#5aa66d"]
]);
var view = new google.visualization.DataView(data);
view.setColumns([0, 1, {
calc: function (dt, rowIndex) { return 'PL=' + (dt.getValue(rowIndex, 1)).toString()} ,
sourceColumn: 1,
type: "string",
role: "annotation"
}, 2]);
var options = {
width: 600,
height: 100,
bar: { groupWidth: "80%" },
legend: { position: "none" },
hAxis: {
baseline: -0.5,
minorGridlines: {
color: '#cccccc',
count: 1
},
gridlines: {
color: 'transparent',
count: 4
},
minValue: 0,
maxValue: 3,
}
};
var chart = new google.visualization.BarChart(document.getElementById("barchart_values"));
google.visualization.events.addListener(chart, 'ready', function () {
var elements = document.getElementById("barchart_values").getElementsByTagName("text");
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
if (elements[i].getAttribute('text-anchor') === 'middle') {
elements[i].textContent = 'Col' + (parseInt(elements[i].textContent) + 1);
}
}
});
chart.draw(view, options);
});
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script>
<div id="barchart_values"></div>
the above will ensure all the labels remain visible, just simply moving them, could cause them to be pushed off the visible portion of the chart.
I want to create a chart.js plugin to create waterfall charts.
I am new to working with chart.js. I was thinking to extend the bar-chart to create a waterfall chart.
The draw function in the bar chart controller is as follows:
draw: function(ease) {
var me = this;
var easingDecimal = ease || 1;
helpers.each(me.getMeta().data, function(rectangle, index) {
var d = me.getDataset().data[index];
if (d !== null && d !== undefined && !isNaN(d)) {
rectangle.transition(easingDecimal).draw();
}
}, me);
},
THe full bar chart controller js file can be found here:
https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/tree/master/src/controllers
Since Chart.js v2.9.0., we can use floating bars to easily create waterfall charts. Individual bars may since be specified with the syntax [min, max].
Given an array of values [3, 5, 4, 2, 6], we need to produce the following data (last entry being the computed value for the 'Total' bar):
[[0, 3], [3, 8], [8, 12], [12, 14], [14, 20], 20]
The only additional thing left to do is defining a tooltips.callback function that computes the correct value to be shown in the tooltips.
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
label: (tooltipItem, data) => {
const v = data.datasets[0].data[tooltipItem.index];
return Array.isArray(v) ? v[1] - v[0] : v;
}
}
},
Please have a look at the following code sample that produces a waterfall chart out of the baseData array.
let baseData = [
{ label: 'A', value: 3 },
{ label: 'B', value: 5 },
{ label: 'C', value: 4 },
{ label: 'D', value: 2 },
{ label: 'E', value: 6 }
];
const labels = baseData.map(o => o.label).concat('Total');
const data = [];
let total = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < baseData.length; i++) {
const vStart = total;
total += baseData[i].value;
data.push([vStart, total]);
}
data.push(total);
const backgroundColors = data.map((o, i) => 'rgba(255, 99, 132, ' + (i + (11 - data.length)) * 0.1 + ')');
new Chart('waterfall', {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: labels,
datasets: [{
data: data,
backgroundColor: backgroundColors,
barPercentage: 1
}]
},
options: {
responsive: true,
maintainAspectRatio: false,
legend: {
display: false
},
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
label: (tooltipItem, data) => {
const v = data.datasets[0].data[tooltipItem.index];
return Array.isArray(v) ? v[1] - v[0] : v;
}
}
},
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true
}
}]
}
}
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/2.9.3/Chart.min.js"></script>
<canvas id="waterfall" height="200"></canvas>
If the chart should start with the 'Total' bar, simply reverse labels, data and backgroundColors arrays as follows.
data: {
labels: labels.reverse(),
datasets: [{
data: data.reverse(),
backgroundColor: backgroundColors.reverse(),
...
I created a chartjs plugin for waterfall charts.
See https://github.com/MartinDawson/chartjs-plugin-waterfall
This plugin works by checking if any of your datasets contain a property called dummyStack that is set to true. The stack property must be used in conjunction with dummyStack for this plugin to work properly. If dummyStack is true then it hides the label, tooltip and sets the color invisible. When you use stacking with this it creates the affect of a floating bar as shown in the image above that we can use for waterfall charts as chartjs-2 doesn't support waterfall charts by default.
import waterFallPlugin from 'chartjs-plugin-waterfall';
var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
plugins: [waterFallPlugin]
});
const data = {
datasets: [
{
label: 'Closing Costs',
data: [50],
backgroundColor: '#e8cdd7',
stack: 'stack 1',
},
{
label: 'Purchase Price',
data: [700],
backgroundColor: '#d29baf',
stack: 'stack 1',
},
{
data: [200],
dummyStack: true,
stack: 'stack 2',
},
{
label: 'Opening Loan Balance',
data: [550],
backgroundColor: '#bb6987',
stack: 'stack 2',
},
{
label: 'Initial Cash Investment',
data: [200],
backgroundColor: '#a53860',
stack: 'stack 3',
},
],
};
It also has line steps from bar to bar.
You can use the plugin recommented by Chart.JS https://github.com/everestate/chartjs-plugin-waterfall (Ref: https://www.chartjs.org/docs/2.7.2/notes/extensions.html)
Installation
npm install --save chartjs-plugin-waterfall
Usage
import waterFallPlugin from 'chartjs-plugin-waterfall';
var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
plugins: [waterFallPlugin]
});
I would like to have a flotchart that depicts the distribution of all data (x axis represents the values from 0 to 10, y axis for hour only starting from 7am to 7pm).
I could not figure out how I should set the configuration of flotchart in this regard.
Here is the json sample of my Dataset :
[1409558400000, 7.45],[1409562000000, 5.71], [1409565600000, 7.50], [1409569200000, 7.63], [1409576400000, 3.14],
[1409644800000, 7.45],[1409648400000, 5.71], [1409652000000, 7.50], [1409655600000, 7.63], [1409662800000, 3.14],
[1409731200000, 7.45],[1409734800000, 5.71], [1409738400000, 7.50], [1409742000000, 7.63], [1409749200000, 3.14]]
;
And here is the code for flotchart; The problem with this is that it sorts all the series based on their timestamps. I do not want that.
I would like them to fit in based on their "hour" parameter only.
Anyone knows if only hour on the x-axis without sorting the data series is possible with flotchart ?
$("#a-dag").click(function() {
console.log("a dag filtering will be applied...");
$.plot("#placeholder", [d], {
series: {
lines: {
show: true
},
points: {
show: true
}
},
grid: {
hoverable: true,
clickable: true,
markings: [{
yaxis: {
from: 0,
to: 4
},
color: "#F2CDEA"
}, {
yaxis: {
from: 4,
to: 7
},
color: "#D7EEE1"
}, {
yaxis: {
from: 7,
to: 12
},
color: "#F2CDEA"
}]
},
xaxis: {
mode: "time",
twelveHourClock: true,
},
yaxis: {
min: 0,
max: 12
}
});
});
Just convert your timestamps to hours, for example like this:
$.each(d, function (index, datapoint) {
datapoint[0] = (new Date(datapoint[0])).getHours();
});
(If you want values with AM / PM change accordingly.)
And of course remove the mode: "time" from your options.
See this fiddle for the changed code.
I've been round and round with this one and I can't seem to drop on an answer.
I've essentially done all I need except for the XAxis as the bottom - This is a timeline chart and I can't get it to render dates at all. (for each point of data for the delivered line, I have a sql datatime entry).
I have tried the various options, UTC, converting to millieseconds etc. but to no avail. Can anyone tell me how I can advance this?
My goal is to have a chart that can display in minutes (up to 2 hours worth = 160 points across) and to automatically scale to hours and days if need be - if poss).
My current setup is as follows :
(asp.net / vb.net / SQL) - although I am happy to receive c# help and I will convert)
Markup :

Dim tmil As DateTime = CDate(row("campTableTimeStamp"))
'need to somehow add campTableTimeStamp as XAxis timeline
_dataDelivered.Add(CInt(row("campQtyDelivered")))
_dataClicked.Add(CInt(row("campQtyClicked")))
Next
Dim jss As New JavaScriptSerializer()
DeliveredChartData = jss.Serialize(_dataDelivered)
ClickedChartData = jss.Serialize(_dataClicked)
As you can see I have the campTableTimeStamp field in sql already to go - but how to pass it in with the other.
Can anyone advise ?
Many thanks for any assistance.

This would be easier to answer with a fiddle, or with an example of the data that results from your function.
One thing you will need to do: remove the 'tickInterval:20' - this is telling the chart to add a label every 20 milliseconds.
Next, make sure your data is structured properly.
should look like data:[[timestamp, numeric value],[timestamp,numerica value],[timestamp,numerica value]...]
or, if your timestamps are at regular intervals, you can set the pointStart and pointInterval properties, and skip providing the timestamp values in the data array, so you would have only data:[y value, yvalue, yvalue...]
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#plotOptions.series.pointStart
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#plotOptions.series.pointInterval
If that doesn't help, please clarify, and add data output sample.
