Example 3
Synopsis
In this example, we plot two arrays of Y-values against an array of X-values.
const dataA = [18, 15, 14.5, 16, 20.8, 18, 12.3, 10.1, 13, 12.5];
const dataB = [8.6, 10.4, 14.7, 12.9, 12.2, 15, 17.3, 20, 21.7, 19.55];
const xValues = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
Chart
The chart's context is a div element named 'chart'. Set the size as you want.
<div id="chart">
</div>
We create a line chart and set its background color. We also add a legend at the bottom of the chart.
const context = document.getElementById('chart');
const chart = new LineChart(context);
chart.backgroundColor = 'lightgray';
chart.layout.legend.position = 'South';
Data
We create and style two data series. Then we set the chart's data.
const dsA = {
name: 'Series A',
data: dataA,
style: {
stroke: 'green'
}
};
const dsB = {
name: 'Series B',
data: dataB,
style: {
stroke: 'blue'
}
};
chart.data = {
x: xValues,
y: [dsA, dsB]
};
Customize
We set the X-axis to display values with 2 decimal places. We also style the zooming area.
chart.layout.xAxis.tick.text = (val) => val.toFixed(2);
chart.interactivity.zoomRect = {
stroke: 'darkgray',
fill: 'beige'
};
Plot
We finally call the plot function to display the data.
chart.plot();
