I have a Highcharts bar chart that I'm trying to add custom shapes to based on the bar values and position. To start with, I'm just trying to use highcharts.renderer.path, to add a line for each bar, as tall as the bar, positioned on the x axis based on a hard coded value. Here's a picture of what I mean:
This should be easy, and it is when the chart.type = "column". In the highcharts callback, I would use getBBox() on each bar, and translate() to convert the x axis value to a pixel value.
However, I've run into several problems when trying to do this with chart.type = "bar". First, all x and y values are switched (I assume this is how the author created the bar chart from a column chart in the first place). This is true for all the properties of the chart as well: plotLeft is now the top, plotTop is now the left.
This should work:
function (chart) {
$.each(chart.series[0].data, function (pointIndex, point) {
var plotLine = {},
elem = point.graphic.element.getBBox(),
yStart,
xStart,
newline;
yStart = chart.plotTop+elem.x;
xStart = chart.plotLeft+elem.height;
plotLine.path = ["M", xStart, yStart+1, "L", xStart, yStart+point.pointWidth];
plotLine.attr = {
'stroke-width': 1,
stroke: point.color,
zIndex: 5
};
newline = chart.renderer.path(plotLine.path).attr(plotLine.attr).add();
});
});
Full example: http://jsfiddle.net/Bh3J4/9/
The second issue may be a bug that can't be overcome. It appears that when there is more than one data point, all of the x and y values get mixed up between the points. Notice in the fiddle that the colors don't match the positions. I've created an issue on GitHub.
When there's just one point, it's not a problem. When there are two points, I could easily switch the values to get the right positioning. However when there are 3 or more points, I can't seem to figure out the logic for how the values get mixed up.
The third issue, is that the translate function doesn't seem to work on the xAxis for a bar chart, even though it does on the yAxis.
chart.yAxis[0].translate(4); // correct for bottom axis
chart.xAxis[0].translate(1); // incorrect for side axis
Is there another way to achieve what I'm looking for? Am I missing something in that Fiddle that's not actually a bug?
I was able to achieve the result I wanted, but I don't know if it's coincidental or a workaround for an actual bug. Regardless, it seems that using the x value from the reverse sorted array helped me line everything up correctly. Here's the callback function for highcharts:
function (chart) {
var benchmarks = { A: 1.5, B: 3.6, C: 2 },
reverseData = _.clone(chart.series[0].data).reverse();
_.each(chart.series[0].data, function (point, pointIndex) {
var plotLine = {},
elem = point.graphic.element.getBBox(),
reverseElem = reverseData[pointIndex].graphic.element.getBBox(),
benchmark = benchmarks[point.category],
yStart = chart.plotTop+reverseElem.x,
xStart = chart.plotLeft+chart.yAxis[0].translate(benchmark),
yEnd = yStart+point.pointWidth-1;
plotLine.path = ["M", xStart, yStart+1, "L", xStart, yEnd];
plotLine.attr = {
'stroke-width': 1,
stroke: "red",
zIndex: 5
};
chart.renderer.path(plotLine.path).attr(plotLine.attr).add();
var margin = 5,
xPadding = 10,
yPadding = 5,
xSplit = xPadding/2,
ySplit = yPadding/2,
text,
box;
text = chart.renderer.text("Top Perf Avg " + benchmark, xStart, yEnd+margin+16).attr({
color: "#646c79",
align: "center",
"font-family": "Arial, sans-serif",
"font-size": 9,
"font-weight": "bold",
style: "text-transform: uppercase",
zIndex: 7
}).add();
box = text.getBBox();
chart.renderer.path(["M", box.x-xSplit, box.y-ySplit,
"l", (box.width/2)+xSplit-margin, 0,
margin, -margin,
margin, margin,
(box.width/2)+xSplit-margin, 0,
0, box.height+yPadding,
-(box.width+xPadding), 0,
0, -(box.height+yPadding)])
.attr({
'stroke-width': 1,
stroke: "#cccccc",
fill: "#ffffff",
zIndex: 6
}).add();
});
}
See the complete working graph here: http://jsfiddle.net/Bh3J4/18/
In the fact, Highcharts rotate everything using transform, so use the same to rotate these lines, see example: http://jsfiddle.net/Bh3J4/19/
function (chart) {
var d = chart.series[0].data,
len = d.length;
for(var i =0; i < len; i++){
var point = d[i],
plotLine = {},
elem = point.graphic.element.getBBox(),
yStart,
xStart,
newline;
console.log(point,point.color);
xStart = point.plotX - point.pointWidth / 2;
yStart = point.plotY;
plotLine.path = ["M", xStart, yStart, "L", xStart+point.pointWidth, yStart];
plotLine.attr = {
transform: 'translate(491,518) rotate(90) scale(-1,1) scale(1 1)',
'stroke-width': 1,
stroke: point.color,
zIndex: 5
};
newline = chart.renderer.path(plotLine.path).attr(plotLine.attr).add();
};
}
Slight adjustment that seems to give precise alignment:
Pls note: changes to calc of xStart/yStart and change to transform translate parameter.
My approach was to make it work for column chart and then get translate refined.
The only unsatisfactory part is that xStart needs: xStart = elem.x+chart.plotLeft; in 'column' mode vs xStart = elem.x; in 'bar' mode...
function (chart) {
var d = chart.series[0].data,
len = d.length;
for(var i =0; i < len; i++){
var point = d[i],
plotLine = {},
elem = point.graphic.element.getBBox(),
yStart,
xStart,
newline;
console.log(point,point.color);
xStart = elem.x;
yStart = chart.plotHeight - (elem.height/2) + chart.plotTop;
plotLine.path = ["M", xStart, yStart, "L", xStart+point.pointWidth, yStart];
plotLine.attr = {
transform: 'translate(542.5,518) rotate(90) scale(-1,1) scale(1 1)',
'stroke-width': 5,
stroke: 'blue',
zIndex: 5
};
newline = chart.renderer.path(plotLine.path).attr(plotLine.attr).add();
};
}

I have implemented a Highchart.js Variable pie chart in my application. I need show outer circle / border to the whole chart, not to the individual slices, so that we can easily see how much of the slice is filled completely or partially.
I tried borderWidth, lineWidth etc, but no luck. Is there any way to implement the same? Need the output somewhat like the image.
You can render all additional svg elements by using Highcharts.SVGRenderer class. Here you can find an example with the required circle:
events: {
render: function() {
const series = this.series[0],
center = series.center,
x = center[0] + this.plotLeft,
y = center[1] + this.plotTop,
r = Math.max(...series.radii);
if (!this.customCircle) {
this.customCircle = this.renderer.circle(
x, y, r
).attr({
stroke: 'red',
zIndex: 3,
fill: 'rgba(0,0,0,0)',
'stroke-width': 1
}).add();
} else {
this.customCircle.attr({ x, y, r });
}
}
}

I want to place a few pieces of text in my graphic. Now, I can do this manually, by specifying the xy coordinates. But this is probably not the best way, as the size of the graph can change, and then the positions are hard coded.
Is there a way to derive in a dynamical way the positions of a line? That is: What is the x/y coordinate of the position x=1980? Here is a fiddle for it.
options.series.push(series);
options.chart.events = {
load: function() {
var chart = this;
chart.renderer.text('1970: Arbitrary chosen reference year: All cumulative values are relative to 1970.', xOffset, yOffset)
.css({
fontSize: '13px',
color: '#aaa',
width: '550px'
})
.add();
chart.renderer.text('1980: observed loss in glacier thickness cumulates to 2 m w.e. since 1970.', 520, 220)
.css({
fontSize: '13px',
color: '#7994d9',
width: '520px'
})
.add();
chart.renderer.text('1990: cumulative ice loss of 4 m w.e.', 690, 255)
.css({
fontSize: '13px',
color: '#ff6c7f',
width: '320px'
})
.add();
}
Maybe this can help you:
var points = chart.series[1].points;
for(var i = 0; i < points.length; i++) {
var point = points[i];
if(point.x === 1980) {
console.log(point.plotX); //263.51049191606
console.log(point.plotY); //40.81559999999999
}
}
UPDATE 1
Adding translated locations to an array:
var locations = [];
var points = chart.series[1].points;
for(var i = 0; i < points.length; i++) {
var point = points[i];
if(point.x === 1980 || point.x === 1990) {
locations.push({
x: point.plotX + chart.yAxis[0].left,
y: point.plotY + chart.yAxis[0].top
});
}
}

I need two labels for a column, one above to show the score and one below to show if it is a "test" or a "retest". How do I go about doing it?
I assume complicated calculation is needed, something like this? http://jsfiddle.net/72xym/4/ (but I can't really understand)
I got other diagrams need to achieve this as well. Basically I need to do this:
My code is inside here: http://jsfiddle.net/kscwx139/6/
I did this for the part to add the label:
..., function() {
var i = 0, j = 0, len_i, len_j, self = this, labelBBox, labels=[];
for(i=0; i<this.series.length; i++) {
labels[i] = [];
for(j=0; j<this.series[i].data.length; j++) {
labels[i][j] = this.renderer.label(self.series[i].name)
.css({
width: '100px',
color: '#000000',
fontSize: '12px'
}).attr({
zIndex: 100
}).add();
labelBBox = labels[i][j].getBBox();
labels[i][j].attr({
x: 100, //1) what to put here?
y: 100 //2) what to put here?
});
}
}
}
I would do something like this:
var chart2 = new Highcharts.Chart(options2, function() {
var i = 0, j = 0, len_i, len_j, self = this, labelBBox, labels=[], point;
for(i=0; i<this.series.length; i++) {
labels[i] = [];
for(j=0; j<this.series[i].data.length; j++) {
labels[i][j] = this.renderer.label(self.series[i].name)
.css({
width: '100px',
color: '#000000',
fontSize: '12px'
}).attr({
zIndex: 100,
align: "center"
}).add();
point = this.series[i].data[j];
labelBBox = labels[i][j].getBBox();
labels[i][j].attr({
x: point.plotX + this.plotLeft + point.series.pointXOffset + point.shapeArgs.width / 2,
y: this.plotTop + this.plotHeight - labelBBox.height
});
}
}
});
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/kscwx139/7/
Note: I would suggest using chart.redraw event to update labels position (label[i][j].animate({ x: ..., y: ... });) when resizing browser, updating data, etc.
Short explanation:
point.plotX - x-position in the plotting area (center of the point's shape)
this.plotLeft - left offset for left yAxis (labels, title)
point.series.pointXOffset - offset for multiple columns in the same category
this.plotTop - the same as plotLeft but from top ;)
this.plotHeight - height of the plotting area
labelBBox.height - height of the label to place it above the xAxis line
I'm working with Flot to create a bar chart. However, I need to add special styling to certain columns. Is this possible at all?
My HTML looks like this:
<div id="monthly-usage" style="width: 100%; height: 400px;"></div>
And my JS like this:
somePlot = null;
$(function() {
//Data from this year and last year
var thisYear = [
[3, 231.01],
[4, 219.65],
[5, 222.47],
[6, 223.09],
[7, 248.43],
[8, 246.22]
];
var lastYear = [
[3, 171.7],
[4, 130.62],
[5, 163.03],
[6, 166.46],
[7, 176.16],
[8, 169.04]
];
var usageData = [{
//Usage this year
label: "2014",
data: thisYear,
bars: {
show: true,
barWidth: .3,
fill: true,
lineWidth: 0,
order: 1,
fillColor: 'rgba(194, 46, 52, .85)'
},
color: '#c22e34'
}, {
//Usage last year to compare with current usage
label: "2013",
data: lastYear,
bars: {
show: true,
barWidth: .3,
fill: true,
lineWidth: 0,
order: 2,
fillColor: 'rgba(73, 80, 94, .85)'
},
color: '#49505e'
}];
//X-axis labels
var months = [
[0, "Jan"],
[1, "Feb"],
[2, "Mar"],
[3, "Apr"],
[4, "Maj"],
[5, "Jun"],
[6, "Jul"],
[7, "Aug"],
[8, "Sep"],
[9, "Okt"],
[10, "Nov"],
[11, "Dec"]
];
//Draw the graph
somePlot = $.plot(('#monthly-usage'), usageData, {
grid: {
color: '#646464',
borderColor: 'transparent',
hoverable: true
},
xaxis: {
ticks: months,
color: '#d4d4d4'
},
yaxis: {
tickSize: 50,
tickFormatter: function(y, axis) {
return y + " kWh";
}
},
legend: {
show: false
}
});
var ctx = somePlot.getCanvas().getContext("2d"); // get the context from plot
var data = somePlot.getData()[0].data; // get your series data
var xaxis = somePlot.getXAxes()[0]; // xAxis
var yaxis = somePlot.getYAxes()[0]; // yAxis
var offset = somePlot.getPlotOffset(); // plots offset
var imageObj = new Image(); // create image
imageObj.onload = function() { // when finish loading image add to canvas
xPos = xaxis.p2c(data[4][0]) + offset.left;
yPos = yaxis.p2c(data[4][1]) + offset.top;
ctx.drawImage(this, xPos, yPos);
xPos = xaxis.p2c(data[5][0]) + offset.left;
yPos = yaxis.p2c(data[5][1]) + offset.top;
ctx.drawImage(this, xPos, yPos);
};
imageObj.src = 'path/to/file.png'; // set it's source to kick off load
});
});
Optimally, I would like to insert an icon in bar 5 and 6 that warns the user. Alternatively, I'd like to change the color of bars 5 and 6. Any ideas on how to fix this?
EDIT: I've updated my JS according to Mark's answer which works.
#Mark, how can I position the images correctly. They are a bit off. I need the image inside the red bar and not besides the bar. I'm trying to finetune this but it doesn't seem as if I can use for instance "0.5". I use side by side bars which is different from your version.
xPos = xaxis.p2c(data[4][0]) + offset.left;
yPos = yaxis.p2c(data[4][1]) + offset.top;
You can't do exactly what you ask with standard options, but there are a couple of possible approaches:
Write your own draw method and use the hooks to install it in place of the standard flot drawing code. This obviously entails a lot of work, but you'll have complete control over how to render your data. (That said, I wouldn't recommend it.)
Break your data into two different data sets. One data set would have dummy values (e.g. 0, or whatever your minimum is) for bars 5 and 6. The second data set would have dummy values for all bars except 5 and 6. You could then style the "two" data sets independently, giving each, for example a different color. Graph the two sets as a stacked bar chart with whatever additional styling tweaks are appropriate for your chart.
(As a FYI, there's a fair bit of information and examples at jsDataV.is. Look at the "Book" section; chapter 2 is dedicated to flot.)
flot gives you access to the HTML5 Canvas it's drawing on; so you just add your icon on there yourself. Borrowing from my own answer here.
var ctx = somePlot.getCanvas().getContext("2d"); // get the context from plot
var data = somePlot.getData()[0].data; // get your series data
var xaxis = somePlot.getXAxes()[0]; // xAxis
var yaxis = somePlot.getYAxes()[0]; // yAxis
var offset = somePlot.getPlotOffset(); // plots offset
$.get("someImage.txt", function(img) { // grad some image, I'm loading it from a base64 resource
var imageObj = new Image(); // create image
imageObj.onload = function() { // when finish loading image add to canvas
var xPos = xaxis.p2c(data[4][0]) + offset.left;
var yPos = yaxis.p2c(data[4][2]) + offset.top;
ctx.drawImage(this, xPos, yPos);
xPos = xaxis.p2c(data[5][0]) + offset.left;
yPos = yaxis.p2c(data[5][3]) + offset.top;
ctx.drawImage(this, xPos, yPos);
};
imageObj.src = img; // set it's source to kick off load
});
Example here.
Looks like:
Here you can see a chart created using graphael. http://jsfiddle.net/aNJxf/4/
It is shown with it's y axis correctly.
The first y value is 0.03100 and the maximum value at y axis is at 0.031
If we change the value to 0.03104 the maximum value at y axis becomes 1.03 and now all our points are in the bottom.
If we add another 0.00001, which makes that value 0.03105, the maximum at the axis y becomes 0.531 and now our points are shown at the wrong position of the chart.
It seems that something is going wrong while graphael calculates the maximum y axis value.
Why this happens? And how we can fix that?

Sorry, I'm not real familiar with gRaphael, but I did find that converting your yVals into whole numbers (by multiplying each by 1e5) seemed to rid your chart of the awkward behavior.
This suggests that it could be related to the algorithm gRaphael uses to find the max axis value (as you ask in your related question) when your values are small decimal values (and alter at even more significant digits).
I know there are inherent issues with float precision, but I can't be sure that applies to your case, or that your values are low enough to consider this.
Not the best workaround, but if it would be feasible for you, you could display the yValues in an order of magnitude larger, and remind the viewer that they are actually smaller than presented. For example, your chart could go from 0 to 3100 and remind your viewer that the scale is scale * 1e-5.
