The Flot FillBetween plugin works nicely with line charts. However I need to smooth out the lines and make them more curvy. I have seen the CurvedLined plugin and the Spline plugin but both do not work properly with the fillbetween plugin.
Is there any way to use a two curved line/Spline series and fill the area between them? Something like the image below. Also fills any enclosed area between the two series any time when one crosses the other.
I am unfamiliar with the FillBetween plug-in. I am going to focus on aswering the smoothing part.
I had a similar problem where those smoothing options did not work for me either. I used an external plug-in to make the smoothing. It's name is smooth.js and it worked for me.
Smooth.js recives the data array and returns a function. To get a "smoothed point", apply the function to any value between 0 and the length of the array. The idea is to obtain more points than the original dataset.
For example, to smooth an array of values named test:
//obtaining smoothing function
var s = Smooth(test, {
method: Smooth.METHOD_CUBIC,
});
//obtaining smoothed data
//asking for 10 "smoothed points" per each point in the original dataset
test_smoothed = [];
for (var i = 0; i <= test.length; i = i + .1) {
test_smoothed.push(s(i));
}
I made a JSFiddle with this example.
You can use this plug-in and pass the smoothed data to flot and then use the FillBetween.

I would like to create a d3-based plot which graphs a plot within a tooltip. Unfortunately, I haven't found any examples on the web. Here is a sample JSON file.
[{"x":[0.4],
"y":[0.2],
"scatter.x":[0.54,0.9297,0.6024,-1.9224,2.2819],
"scatter.y":[0.4139,1.1298,-0.1119,2.3624,-1.1947]},
{"x":[0.1],
"y":[0.9],
"scatter.x":[-0.8566,-0.5806,-0.9326,0.8329,-0.5792],
"scatter.y":[-0.5462,-0.7054,1.0264,-3.4874,-1.0431]}]
The idea is to have a scatter plot for (x,y) coordinates first. However, when one mouses over a point, a different scatter plot within a tooltip appears based on [scatter.x, scatter.y] coordinates for that respective point.
I can do the scatter plots separately but have been struggling to put them together. Could anyone shed some light on this and/or provide a minimal example?
This was too long for a comment but I'm not certain if it's the answer you were looking for. One of the issues you might find is that your nested data is formatted differently-- one uses JSON objects with x and y, while the other uses two arrays of points.
My solution to this would be to create an extensible function:
function makeScatterPlot(elem, width, height, data, fill)
elem, width, height, and data are the core parameters: which element to attach the chart to, the size of the chart, and the data for the chart (in the JSON object format).
This function would generate all necessary items for the chart and add the chart to the provided element.
Then you want to bind to mouseover of your main chart, and in that function you'll have to do a bit of data modification to re-organize the two arrays into the JSON object structure.
function mainMouseover(d){
var newData = [];
for (var i = 0; i < d["scatter.x"].length; i++){
var t = {x: [0], y: [0]};
t.x[0] = d["scatter.x"][i];
t.y[0] = d["scatter.y"][i];
newData.push(t);
}
var newG = mainG.append("g").attr("transform", "translate(200,200)");
makeScatterPlot(newG, 100,100, newData, "red");
}
Of course, you would modify the translate to match wherever you want your tooltip to be.
Putting this all together you get the following (very crude) fiddle. Hover over either of the black dots to see the sub-chart. Obviously this needs quite a bit of work to be a solid example (i.e. remove the sub-chart on mouseout), but hopefully it will set you in the right direction.
If the tooltip chart is significantly different styling-wise compared to your main chart it may not be the best idea to use an extensible function, and you could just create another custom function instead.
I will try to explain my problem as much accurate as possible. I am looking for a javascript chart library filling the two following conditions:
From an ajax request retrieving time series,
display dynamically data when changing the time window.
such as it is perfectly done on highstocks: http://www.highcharts.com/stock/demo/basic-line
And
plot an horizontal line corresponding to the mean,
changing when the user update the time window on the chart.
Actually it is possible to display an horizontal line. But they are fixed on the whole data and do not change accordingly when the time window is modified:
http://www.highcharts.com/stock/demo/yaxis-plotlines
I am quite new to the topic and would like to know if it'sp ossible to modify Highstock classes to have such a result. Or maybe some other js libraries exists?
Using a combination of the answer here:
Highchart, get total of visible series data after setExtremes
And an example of dynamic average using all visible series that I made for a previous question, here:
http://jsfiddle.net/jlbriggs/gweuLegq/
I put together this example, using the afterSetExtremes event, like this:
xAxis : {
events:{
afterSetExtremes:function() {
var ext = this.getExtremes();
getAverage(this.chart, ext.min, ext.max, show, width, avgColor, dashStyle);
}
}
},
Working example here:
http://jsfiddle.net/jlbriggs/c93543yL/
The idea is:
1) capture the afterSetExtremes event
2) get the resulting axis min and max
3) loop through the series data
4) if a point is between the min and max, increment the count, and add the
point's y value to the sum
5) calculate the average accordingly, check for existence of average series, if exists, update, if not, add
It could as easily use a plot line that you add/remove as needed instead of a series, but I like having it as a series so that it has a legend entry.
I have a nvd3 line chart which displays a time series and can't get the ticks on the x axis right.
For longer time spans, it works as expected. But for shorter time spans (here: 12/31/05 to 01/01/06), the same date is displayed for multiple ticks:
Please have a look at the code for this chart on JSFiddle
I want the chart to only display ticks at data points, and not in between. Is that possible with a line chart? From my understanding, it is possible with d3, but I can't figure out if this functionality is exposed by nvd3.
I've tried explicitly setting the number of ticks with chart.xAxis.ticks() without success. The only thing that has any effect is explicitly setting the tick values with chart.xAxis.tickValues([...]), but I would prefer not having to calculate them myself.
The way to solve this in general is with custom multi-scale time formats. Note that this example itself will not work with NVD3 because it uses an older version of D3, the examples below will though.
The problem in your case is that the ticks aren't "clean" divisions of time and if you apply a multi-scale format, you get something like this. It always shows the more fine-grained format because anything else would involve a loss of precision.
You can however use a simple heuristic to show the date instead of the time if the hour is less than 3, which works reasonably well in your case. See here for an example. The proper way to do this would be to make your ticks clean divisions.
Which brings us to your actual question. There's no other way than to explicitly set .tickValues() for what you want to do, but you can compute the x positions in your data quite easily:
var xvalues = [],
tmp = data.map(function(e) {
return e.values.map(function(d) { return d[0]; });
});
xvalues.concat.apply(xvalues, tmp);
The code is not the prettiest because it's a nested structure, but fairly straightforward. Using this, you can set your tick values explicitly, full example here.
I have used jqplot line chart.
I have get data from php page using ajax.In some condition I will display specific series.So
How to pass series dynamically in jqplot line chart and also set legend of series ?
I have manually write code for above requirement.I have apply click event on legend series and draw graph as per click on legend.
I have also change y-axis value as per select/deselect series legend.
I originally tried the answer posted by #sdespont, but due to additional properties that need to be in place for the series, it wasn't working properly. I was able to get this working by doing the following:
plot1.data = data;
plot1.replot( data );
data is a 3D array of the same makeup as you would pass in when creating the plot. If I did either part without doing the other, it wouldn't refresh properly, but the combination of the two seems to do the trick. Refreshing the plot in this fashion would dynamically add or remove any series I added to the data array.
Hope that helps.
You could add or remove series by playing with plot1.series array.
Here is a good jsfiddle : jsfiddle.net/fracu/HrZcj
The idea is to create an array with data
myNewSerie = Array();
x = (new Date()).getTime();
y = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);
myNewSerie.push([x, y]);
Then add it to the graph using the next available slot
plot1.series[plot1.series.length] = myNewSerie
And finally redraw using plot1.replot();
Check out the updateSeries function in the end of the fiddle
Not tested, but should work
I had the same problem recently. "replot" works but is veeerrryyy slow. I used "jQPlot.drawSeries" which is blazingly fast. Just give your new series data to jQPlot as usual and call jQPlot.drawSeries({}, <nr of your series from 0...xxx)
My realtime chart with 800 values runs with >> 60 FPS on my PC and also very fast on my mobiles.
I'm implementing this charting solution and I'm a little stuck. If I have to line charts in the same graph, as in the first example in the link, but there seems to be a problem with the y-axis. It doesn't show the right ratio between the first and second line chart. See the two images below:
Does anybody have an idea of how to solve this?!
Thanx!

I think I understand your problem: the scale of each of the lines on the graph are independent, and the raphael line graph js file is looping through the table data and setting each line's max according to its max value. My recommendation to anyone thinking of using raphaeljs for graphing purposes is to use Graphael instead.
If you REALLY want to fix it, change line 366 of the raphael_linechart in the example files to
max = this.max,
Then add a function that gets the data, and changes the this.max variable to the max value of all the data:
changeMaxValue: function(id) {
var table = helpers.loadTableData(id);
var max = Math.max.apply(Math, table.data);
if(max > this.max) {
this.max = max;
}
},
Pass the id of each table data piece before you actually graph the lines. I didn't test this, so you will have to work out the kinks.
