I am using chart.js to develop a TreeMap. It works great but the issue is each rectangle only shows the value of the data. I want to add some custom text next to the value. How do I achieve this?
var topTags = [
{tag:'python',num:133269},{tag:'javascript',num:109742},{tag:'java',num:65490},{tag:'c#',num:45445},{tag:'html',num:43767},{tag:'android',num:42657},{tag:'reactjs',num:38844},{tag:'php',num:34381},{tag:'sql',num:29996},{tag:'python',num:29942},{tag:'css',num:29654},{tag:'r',num:28319},{tag:'c++',num:27389},{tag:'node.js',num:25415},{tag:'angular',num:24093},{tag:'pandas',num:23826},{tag:'arrays',num:23075},{tag:'jquery',num:18968},{tag:'mysql',num:18863},{tag:'swift',num:17971},{tag:'ios',num:17600},{tag:'json',num:15589},{tag:'laravel',num:15537},{tag:'flutter',num:15201},{tag:'c',num:15195},{tag:'django',num:14748},{tag:'sql',num:12752},{tag:'reactjs',num:10974},{tag:'excel',num:10962},{tag:'list',num:10726},{tag:'regex',num:10676}
];
var canvas = document.getElementById("treemap");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var chart = window.chart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: "treemap",
data: {
datasets: [{
tree: topTags,
key: "num",
groups: ['num'],
spacing: 0.5,
borderWidth: 1.5,
fontColor: "black",
borderColor: "grey"
}]
},
options: {
maintainAspectRatio: false,
legend: { display: false },
tooltips: { enabled: false }
}
});
When running this code, I get the numbers in each rectangle but I need some text to be appended next to the numbers for each rectangle. How do I achieve this?
You can use the formatter options in the labels section:
const options = {
type: 'treemap',
data: {
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
tree: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
backgroundColor: 'pink',
labels: {
display: true,
formatter(ctx) {
const data = ctx.chart.data;
return `Custom Text: ${data.datasets[ctx.datasetIndex].tree[ctx.dataIndex]}`;
}
},
}]
},
options: {}
}
const ctx = document.getElementById('chartJSContainer').getContext('2d');
new Chart(ctx, options);

I am stuck with a problem on chart js while creating line chart. I want to create a chart with the specified data and also need to have horizontal and vertical line while I hover on intersection point. I am able to create vertical line on hover but can not find any solution where I can draw both the line. Here is my code to draw vertical line on hover.
window.lineOnHover = function(){
Chart.defaults.LineWithLine = Chart.defaults.line;
Chart.controllers.LineWithLine = Chart.controllers.line.extend({
draw: function(ease) {
Chart.controllers.line.prototype.draw.call(this, ease);
if (this.chart.tooltip._active && this.chart.tooltip._active.length) {
var activePoint = this.chart.tooltip._active[0],
ctx = this.chart.ctx,
x = activePoint.tooltipPosition().x,
topY = this.chart.legend.bottom,
bottomY = this.chart.chartArea.bottom;
// draw line
ctx.save();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(x, topY);
ctx.lineTo(x, bottomY);
ctx.lineWidth = 1;
ctx.setLineDash([3,3]);
ctx.strokeStyle = '#FF4949';
ctx.stroke();
ctx.restore();
}
}
});
}
//create chart
var backhaul_wan_mos_chart = new Chart(backhaul_wan_mos_chart, {
type: 'LineWithLine',
data: {
labels: ['Aug 1', 'Aug 2', 'Aug 3', 'Aug 4', 'Aug 5', 'Aug 6', 'Aug 7', 'Aug 8'],

});
my output of the code is as follow in WAN MoS Score graph --
So I want to have an horizontal line with the same vertical line together when I hover on the intersection (plotted) point..
Please help my guys..Thanks in advance.
You can just add a second draw block for the y coordinate that you get from the tooltip, first you move to the left of the chartArea that you can get the same way you got bottom and top and then you move to the right on the same Y
Chart.defaults.LineWithLine = Chart.defaults.line;
Chart.controllers.LineWithLine = Chart.controllers.line.extend({
draw: function(ease) {
Chart.controllers.line.prototype.draw.call(this, ease);
if (this.chart.tooltip._active && this.chart.tooltip._active.length) {
var activePoint = this.chart.tooltip._active[0],
ctx = this.chart.ctx,
x = activePoint.tooltipPosition().x,
y = activePoint.tooltipPosition().y,
topY = this.chart.legend.bottom,
bottomY = this.chart.chartArea.bottom,
left = this.chart.chartArea.left,
right = this.chart.chartArea.right;
// Set line opts
ctx.save();
ctx.lineWidth = 1;
ctx.setLineDash([3, 3]);
ctx.strokeStyle = '#FF4949';
// draw vertical line
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(x, topY);
ctx.lineTo(x, bottomY);
ctx.stroke();
// Draw horizontal line
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(left, y);
ctx.lineTo(right, y);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.restore();
}
}
});
var options = {
type: 'LineWithLine',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
borderWidth: 1
},
{
label: '# of Points',
data: [7, 11, 5, 8, 3, 7],
borderWidth: 1
}
]
},
options: {

Edit:
You should use a custom plugin for this since you dont draw everytime you move the cursor and you can enforce this by using a custom plugin:
const options = {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
borderWidth: 1
},
{
label: '# of Points',
data: [7, 11, 5, 8, 3, 7],
borderWidth: 1
}
]
},
options: {
plugins: {
corsair: {
dash: [2, 2],
color: 'red',
width: 3
}
}
},
plugins: [{
id: 'corsair',
afterInit: (chart) => {
chart.corsair = {
x: 0,
y: 0
}
},
afterEvent: (chart, evt) => {
const {
chartArea: {
top,
bottom,
left,
right
}
} = chart;
const {
x,
y
} = evt;
if (x < left || x > right || y < top || y > bottom) {
chart.corsair = {
x,
y,
draw: false
}
chart.draw();
return;
}
chart.corsair = {
x,
y,
draw: true
}
chart.draw();
},
afterDatasetsDraw: (chart, _, opts) => {
const {
ctx,
chartArea: {
top,
bottom,
left,
right
}
} = chart;
const {
x,
y,
draw
} = chart.corsair;
if (!draw) {
return;
}
ctx.lineWidth = opts.width || 0;
ctx.setLineDash(opts.dash || []);
ctx.strokeStyle = opts.color || 'black'
ctx.save();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(x, bottom);
ctx.lineTo(x, top);
ctx.moveTo(left, y);
ctx.lineTo(right, y);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.restore();
}
}]
}
const ctx = document.getElementById('chartJSContainer').getContext('2d');
new Chart(ctx, options);

This is 2022, the current version of ChartJS is 4.0.1. So, I recommend to use this new implementation.
First, let's define a plugin. ChartJS's plugins has an id parameter, in this case less say corsair.
Then we define default variables for our plugin, like width, color and line dash. Additionally, our plugin will have three parameters: x, y, and draw. x and y are the values of the mousemove event and draw represents the inChartArea parameter, this parameter defines if the event occurred inside of the chart area or not.
Finally, we capture the afterDraw hook to draw a vertical and horizontal lines based on the x and y values if the event was triggered inside of the chart area.
ChartJS has various hooks to capture different parts of the chart render cycle.
const plugin = {
id: 'corsair',
defaults: {
width: 1,
color: '#FF4949',
dash: [3, 3],
},
afterInit: (chart, args, opts) => {
chart.corsair = {
x: 0,
y: 0,
}
},
afterEvent: (chart, args) => {
const {inChartArea} = args
const {type,x,y} = args.event
chart.corsair = {x, y, draw: inChartArea}
chart.draw()
},
beforeDatasetsDraw: (chart, args, opts) => {
const {ctx} = chart
const {top, bottom, left, right} = chart.chartArea
const {x, y, draw} = chart.corsair
if (!draw) return
ctx.save()
ctx.beginPath()
ctx.lineWidth = opts.width
ctx.strokeStyle = opts.color
ctx.setLineDash(opts.dash)
ctx.moveTo(x, bottom)
ctx.lineTo(x, top)
ctx.moveTo(left, y)
ctx.lineTo(right, y)
ctx.stroke()
ctx.restore()
}
}
const data = {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
borderWidth: 1
},
{
label: '# of Points',
data: [7, 11, 5, 8, 3, 7],
borderWidth: 1
}
]
}
const options = {
maintainAspectRatio: false,
hover: {
mode: 'index',
intersect: false,
},
plugins: {
corsair: {
color: 'black',
}
}
}
const config = {
type: 'line',
data,
options,
plugins: [plugin],
}
const $chart = document.getElementById('chart')
const chart = new Chart($chart, config)
<div class="wrapper" style="width: 98vw; height: 180px">

I have done exactly this (but vertical line only) in a previous version of one of my projects. Unfortunately this feature has been removed but the older source code file can still be accessed via my github.
The key is this section of the code:
Chart.defaults.LineWithLine = Chart.defaults.line;
Chart.controllers.LineWithLine = Chart.controllers.line.extend({
draw: function(ease) {
Chart.controllers.line.prototype.draw.call(this, ease);
if (this.chart.tooltip._active && this.chart.tooltip._active.length) {
var activePoint = this.chart.tooltip._active[0],
ctx = this.chart.ctx,
x = activePoint.tooltipPosition().x,
topY = this.chart.legend.bottom,
bottomY = this.chart.chartArea.bottom;
// draw line
ctx.save();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(x, topY);
ctx.lineTo(x, bottomY);
ctx.lineWidth = 0.5;
ctx.strokeStyle = '#A6A6A6';
ctx.stroke();
ctx.restore();
}
}
});
Another caveat is that the above code works with Chart.js 2.8 and I am aware that the current version of Chart.js is 3.1. I haven't read the official manual on the update but my personal experience is that this update is not 100% backward-compatible--so not sure if it still works if you need Chart.js 3. (But sure you may try 2.8 first and if it works you can then somehow tweak the code to make it work on 3.1)
I wanted to color the chart area of my line graph however it's not working:
options={{
maintainAspectRatio: false,
title: {
display: true,
fontSize: 20
},
chartArea: {
backgroundColor: "blue"
},
I have also recreated this in codesandbox:
https://codesandbox.io/s/practical-shadow-9he5y?file=/src/App.js:914-1118
There is no chartArea.backgroundColor option, you will need to use a custom plugin for this:
const plugin = {
id: 'background',
beforeDraw: (chart, args, opts) => {
if (!opts.color) {
return;
}
const {
ctx,
chartArea
} = chart;
ctx.fillStyle = opts.color;
ctx.fillRect(chartArea.left, chartArea.top, chartArea.width, chartArea.height)
}
}
Chart.register(plugin);
const options = {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
borderWidth: 1
},
{
label: '# of Points',
data: [7, 11, 5, 8, 3, 7],
borderWidth: 1
}
]
},
options: {
plugins: {
background: {
color: 'cyan'
}
}
}
}
const ctx = document.getElementById('chartJSContainer').getContext('2d');
new Chart(ctx, options);
<body>
<canvas id="chartJSContainer" width="600" height="400"></canvas>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/3.5.1/chart.js"></script>
</body>
I forked a sandbox from yours :
React Chartjs Canvas Background
You can register plugins in useEffect :
useEffect(() => {
Chart.register({
id: "custom_canvas_background_color",
beforeDraw: (chart) => {
console.log("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!");
const ctx = chart.canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.save();
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "destination-over";
ctx.fillStyle = "lightGreen";
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, chart.width, chart.height);
ctx.restore();
}
});
}, []);
Also additional useful resources for you :
https://github.com/reactchartjs/react-chartjs-2
https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/tree/v3.5.1
In Chart.js v2, the datasetIndex property of ChartTooltipItem[] identifies which segment of a stacked bar chart was clicked. This allowed the tooltip content to be customized for each segment of the stacked bar chart.
In v3, TooltipItem[] provides the datasets but does not identify which one was clicked. There is a datasetIndex field for each TooltipItem, but it just matches the index in TooltipItem[] rather than identify the clicked segment.
Has anyone found a field in the V3 tooltip callback to identified which segment of a stacked bar chart was clicked? Or was this functionality lost in the v3 rewrite?
It just works fine, the only thing that is different is that it seems like in v2 it defaulted to the point mode while now it is using index mode, if you change it back to point it works as expected:
var options = {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
backgroundColor: 'red'
},
{
label: '# of Points',
data: [7, 11, 5, 8, 3, 7],
backgroundColor: 'blue'
}
]
},
options: {
plugins: {
tooltip: {
mode: 'point',
callbacks: {
beforeBody: (ttItems, x) => {
ttItems.forEach((ttItem) => {
console.log('BeforeBody: ', ttItem.datasetIndex, ttItem.dataIndex)
})
},
afterBody: (ttItems, x) => {
ttItems.forEach((ttItem) => {
console.log('AfterBody: ', ttItem.datasetIndex, ttItem.dataIndex)
})
}
}
}
},
scales: {
y: {
stacked: true
},
x: {
stacked: true
}
}
}
}
var ctx = document.getElementById('chartJSContainer').getContext('2d');

I am trying to personalize a chart.js. But I can not find how to remove (or hide) the X and Y axes.
I am also interested in not showing data on hover and I would like not to show the reference on the top. I am just starting with chart.js and I only need to do a few graphs.
Thank you :)
This is the graph I currently have
datasets: {
label: "I need help plz",
backgroundColor: gradient,
fill: true,
borderColor: "rgb(0, 50, 100)",
borderWidth: 0.001,
tension: 0.4,
radius: 0,
data: dataset,
},
For removing the references on the top this post was useful Chart.js v2 hide dataset labels
As described in the documentation (https://www.chartjs.org/docs/master/axes/#common-options-to-all-axes) you can set in the options of the scale the display to true or false or 'auto' where auto hides the scale if no dataset is visable that is linked to that axis.
For not showing data on hover you can set the tooltip to enabled: false
Example (y auto display and no x axis):
var options = {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
borderWidth: 1,
backgroundColor: 'red'
}, ]
},
options: {
plugins: {
tooltip: {
enabled: false
}
},
scales: {
y: {
display: 'auto'
},
x: {
display: false
}
}
}
}
