Chartist - API Documentation

auto-scale-axis.js

Module Chartist.AutoScaleAxis

The auto scale axis uses standard linear scale projection of values along an axis. It uses order of magnitude to find a scale automatically and evaluates the available space in order to find the perfect amount of ticks for your chart.
Options
The following options are used by this axis in addition to the default axis options outlined in the axis configuration of the chart default settings.

var options = {
  // If high is specified then the axis will display values explicitly up to this value and the computed maximum from the data is ignored
  high: 100,
  // If low is specified then the axis will display values explicitly down to this value and the computed minimum from the data is ignored
  low: 0,
  // This option will be used when finding the right scale division settings. The amount of ticks on the scale will be determined so that as many ticks as possible will be displayed, while not violating this minimum required space (in pixel).
  scaleMinSpace: 20,
  // Can be set to true or false. If set to true, the scale will be generated with whole numbers only.
  onlyInteger: true,
  // The reference value can be used to make sure that this value will always be on the chart. This is especially useful on bipolar charts where the bipolar center always needs to be part of the chart.
  referenceValue: 5
};

axis.js

fixed-scale-axis.js

Module Chartist.FixedScaleAxis

The fixed scale axis uses standard linear projection of values along an axis. It makes use of a divisor option to divide the range provided from the minimum and maximum value or the options high and low that will override the computed minimum and maximum.
Options
The following options are used by this axis in addition to the default axis options outlined in the axis configuration of the chart default settings.

var options = {
  // If high is specified then the axis will display values explicitly up to this value and the computed maximum from the data is ignored
  high: 100,
  // If low is specified then the axis will display values explicitly down to this value and the computed minimum from the data is ignored
  low: 0,
  // If specified then the value range determined from minimum to maximum (or low and high) will be divided by this number and ticks will be generated at those division points. The default divisor is 1.
  divisor: 4,
  // If ticks is explicitly set, then the axis will not compute the ticks with the divisor, but directly use the data in ticks to determine at what points on the axis a tick need to be generated.
  ticks: [1, 10, 20, 30]
};

step-axis.js

Module Chartist.StepAxis

The step axis for step based charts like bar chart or step based line charts. It uses a fixed amount of ticks that will be equally distributed across the whole axis length. The projection is done using the index of the data value rather than the value itself and therefore it's only useful for distribution purpose.
Options
The following options are used by this axis in addition to the default axis options outlined in the axis configuration of the chart default settings.

var options = {
  // Ticks to be used to distribute across the axis length. As this axis type relies on the index of the value rather than the value, arbitrary data that can be converted to a string can be used as ticks.
  ticks: ['One', 'Two', 'Three'],
  // If set to true the full width will be used to distribute the values where the last value will be at the maximum of the axis length. If false the spaces between the ticks will be evenly distributed instead.
  stretch: true
};

base.js

Module Chartist.Base

Base for all chart types. The methods in Chartist.Base are inherited to all chart types.

function update()
    function update(data, options, override) {
  if(data) {
    this.data = data || {};
    this.data.labels = this.data.labels || [];
    this.data.series = this.data.series || [];
    // Event for data transformation that allows to manipulate the data before it gets rendered in the charts
    this.eventEmitter.emit('data', {
      type: 'update',
      data: this.data
    });
  }

  if(options) {
    this.options = Chartist.extend({}, override ? this.options : this.defaultOptions, options);

    // If chartist was not initialized yet, we just set the options and leave the rest to the initialization
    // Otherwise we re-create the optionsProvider at this point
    if(!this.initializeTimeoutId) {
      this.optionsProvider.removeMediaQueryListeners();
      this.optionsProvider = Chartist.optionsProvider(this.options, this.responsiveOptions, this.eventEmitter);
    }
  }

  // Only re-created the chart if it has been initialized yet
  if(!this.initializeTimeoutId) {
    this.createChart(this.optionsProvider.getCurrentOptions());
  }

  // Return a reference to the chart object to chain up calls
  return this;
}
  

Updates the chart which currently does a full reconstruction of the SVG DOM

Parameters
[data] ( Object )
Optional data you'd like to set for the chart before it will update. If not specified the update method will use the data that is already configured with the chart.
[options] ( Object )
Optional options you'd like to add to the previous options for the chart before it will update. If not specified the update method will use the options that have been already configured with the chart.
[override] ( Boolean )
If set to true, the passed options will be used to extend the options that have been configured already. Otherwise the chart default options will be used as the base
function detach()
    function detach() {
  // Only detach if initialization already occurred on this chart. If this chart still hasn't initialized (therefore
  // the initializationTimeoutId is still a valid timeout reference, we will clear the timeout
  if(!this.initializeTimeoutId) {
    window.removeEventListener('resize', this.resizeListener);
    this.optionsProvider.removeMediaQueryListeners();
  } else {
    window.clearTimeout(this.initializeTimeoutId);
  }

  return this;
}
  

This method can be called on the API object of each chart and will un-register all event listeners that were added to other components. This currently includes a window.resize listener as well as media query listeners if any responsive options have been provided. Use this function if you need to destroy and recreate Chartist charts dynamically.

function on()
    function on(event, handler) {
  this.eventEmitter.addEventHandler(event, handler);
  return this;
}
  

Use this function to register event handlers. The handler callbacks are synchronous and will run in the main thread rather than the event loop.

Parameters
event ( String )
Name of the event. Check the examples for supported events.
handler ( Function )
The handler function that will be called when an event with the given name was emitted. This function will receive a data argument which contains event data. See the example for more details.
function off()
    function off(event, handler) {
  this.eventEmitter.removeEventHandler(event, handler);
  return this;
}

function initialize() {
  // Add window resize listener that re-creates the chart
  window.addEventListener('resize', this.resizeListener);

  // Obtain current options based on matching media queries (if responsive options are given)
  // This will also register a listener that is re-creating the chart based on media changes
  this.optionsProvider = Chartist.optionsProvider(this.options, this.responsiveOptions, this.eventEmitter);
  // Register options change listener that will trigger a chart update
  this.eventEmitter.addEventHandler('optionsChanged', function() {
    this.update();
  }.bind(this));

  // Before the first chart creation we need to register us with all plugins that are configured
  // Initialize all relevant plugins with our chart object and the plugin options specified in the config
  if(this.options.plugins) {
    this.options.plugins.forEach(function(plugin) {
      if(plugin instanceof Array) {
        plugin[0](this, plugin[1]);
      } else {
        plugin(this);
      }
    }.bind(this));
  }

  // Event for data transformation that allows to manipulate the data before it gets rendered in the charts
  this.eventEmitter.emit('data', {
    type: 'initial',
    data: this.data
  });

  // Create the first chart
  this.createChart(this.optionsProvider.getCurrentOptions());

  // As chart is initialized from the event loop now we can reset our timeout reference
  // This is important if the chart gets initialized on the same element twice
  this.initializeTimeoutId = undefined;
}
  

Use this function to un-register event handlers. If the handler function parameter is omitted all handlers for the given event will be un-registered.

Parameters
event ( String )
Name of the event for which a handler should be removed
[handler] ( Function )
The handler function that that was previously used to register a new event handler. This handler will be removed from the event handler list. If this parameter is omitted then all event handlers for the given event are removed from the list.

The data object in the pie chart needs to have a series property with a one dimensional data array. The values will be normalized against each other and don't necessarily need to be in percentage. The series property can also be an array of value objects that contain a value property and a className property to override the CSS class name for the series group.
[options] ( Object )
The options object with options that override the default options. Check the examples for a detailed list.
[responsiveOptions] ( Array )
Specify an array of responsive option arrays which are a media query and options object pair => [[mediaQueryString, optionsObject],[more...]]
Returns
( Object )
An object with a version and an update method to manually redraw the chart
Examples
// Simple pie chart example with four series
new Chartist.Pie('.ct-chart', {
  series: [10, 2, 4, 3]
});
// Drawing a donut chart
new Chartist.Pie('.ct-chart', {
  series: [10, 2, 4, 3]

  series: [20, 10, 30, 40]
}, {
  donut: true,
  donutWidth: 20,
  startAngle: 270,
  total: 200
});
// Drawing a pie chart with padding and labels that are outside the pie

  series: [20, 10, 30, 40]
}, {
  chartPadding: 30,
  labelOffset: 50,
  labelDirection: 'explode'
});
// Overriding the class names for individual series as well as a name and meta data.
// The name will be written as ct:series-name attribute and the meta data will be serialized and written
// to a ct:meta attribute.

Module Chartist.Class

This module provides some basic prototype inheritance utilities.

function extend()
    function extend(properties, superProtoOverride) {
  var superProto = superProtoOverride || this.prototype || Chartist.Class;
  var proto = Object.create(superProto);

  Chartist.Class.cloneDefinitions(proto, properties);

  var constr = function() {
    var fn = proto.constructor || function () {},
      instance;

    // If this is linked to the Chartist namespace the constructor was not called with new
    // To provide a fallback we will instantiate here and return the instance
    instance = this === Chartist ? Object.create(proto) : this;
    fn.apply(instance, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 0));

    // If this constructor was not called with new we need to return the instance
    // This will not harm when the constructor has been called with new as the returned value is ignored
    return instance;
  };

  constr.prototype = proto;
  constr.super = superProto;
  constr.extend = this.extend;

  return constr;
}

// Variable argument list clones args > 0 into args[0] and retruns modified args[0]
function cloneDefinitions() {
  var args = listToArray(arguments);
  var target = args[0];

  args.splice(1, args.length - 1).forEach(function (source) {

    });
  });

  return target;
}

Chartist.Class = {
  extend: extend,
  cloneDefinitions: cloneDefinitions
};

}(this, Chartist));
  

Method to extend from current prototype.

Parameters
properties ( Object )
The object that serves as definition for the prototype that gets created for the new class. This object should always contain a constructor property that is the desired constructor for the newly created class.
[superProtoOverride] ( Object )
By default extens will use the current class prototype or Chartist.class. With this parameter you can specify any super prototype that will be used.
Returns
( Function )
Constructor function of the new class
Examples
var Fruit = Class.extend({
color: undefined,
  sugar: undefined,

  constructor: function(color, sugar) {
    this.color = color;
    this.sugar = sugar;
  },

  eat: function() {
    this.sugar = 0;
    return this;
  }
});

var Banana = Fruit.extend({
  length: undefined,

  constructor: function(length, sugar) {
    Banana.super.constructor.call(this, 'Yellow', sugar);
    this.length = length;
  }
});

var banana = new Banana(20, 40);
console.log('banana instanceof Fruit', banana instanceof Fruit);
console.log('Fruit is prototype of banana', Fruit.prototype.isPrototypeOf(banana));
console.log('bananas prototype is Fruit', Object.getPrototypeOf(banana) === Fruit.prototype);
console.log(banana.sugar);

    Chartist.roundWithPrecision = function(value, digits) {
  var precision = Math.pow(10, digits || Chartist.precision);
  return Math.round(value * precision) / precision;
};
  

This helper function can be used to round values with certain precision level after decimal. This is used to prevent rounding errors near float point precision limit.

Parameters
value ( Number )
The value that should be rounded with precision
[digits] ( Number )
The number of digits after decimal used to do the rounding
property Chartist.precision
    Chartist.precision = 8;

  }

  return Object.keys(Chartist.escapingMap).reduce(function(result, key) {
    return Chartist.replaceAll(result, key, Chartist.escapingMap[key]);
  }, data);
};
  

This function serializes arbitrary data to a string. In case of data that can't be easily converted to a string, this function will create a wrapper object and serialize the data using JSON.stringify. The outcoming string will always be escaped using Chartist.escapingMap.
If called with null or undefined the function will return immediately with null or undefined.

Parameters
data ( Number String Object )
Returns
( String )
method Chartist.deserialize()
    Chartist.deserialize = function(data) {
  if(typeof data !== 'string') {
    return data;

    data = data.data !== undefined ? data.data : data;
  } catch(e) {}

  return data;
};
  

This function de-serializes a string previously serialized with Chartist.serialize. The string will always be unescaped using Chartist.escapingMap before it's returned. Based on the input value the return type can be Number, String or Object. JSON.parse is used with try / catch to see if the unescaped string can be parsed into an Object and this Object will be returned on success.

Parameters
data ( String )
Returns
( String Number Object )

event.js

Module Chartist.Event

A very basic event module that helps to generate and catch events.

function addEventHandler()
    function addEventHandler(event, handler) {
  handlers[event] = handlers[event] || [];
  handlers[event].push(handler);
}
  

Add an event handler for a specific event

Parameters
event ( String )
The event name
handler ( Function )
A event handler function
function removeEventHandler()
    function removeEventHandler(event, handler) {
  // Only do something if there are event handlers with this name existing
  if(handlers[event]) {
    // If handler is set we will look for a specific handler and only remove this
    if(handler) {
      handlers[event].splice(handlers[event].indexOf(handler), 1);
      if(handlers[event].length === 0) {
        delete handlers[event];
      }
    } else {
      // If no handler is specified we remove all handlers for this event
      delete handlers[event];
    }
  }
}
  

Remove an event handler of a specific event name or remove all event handlers for a specific event.

Parameters
event ( String )
The event name where a specific or all handlers should be removed
[handler] ( Function )
An optional event handler function. If specified only this specific handler will be removed and otherwise all handlers are removed.
function emit()
    function emit(event, data) {
  // Only do something if there are event handlers with this name existing
  if(handlers[event]) {
    handlers[event].forEach(function(handler) {
      handler(data);
    });
  }

  // Emit event to star event handlers
  if(handlers['*']) {
    handlers['*'].forEach(function(starHandler) {

    });
  }
}

return {
  addEventHandler: addEventHandler,
  removeEventHandler: removeEventHandler,
  emit: emit
};
  };

}(this, Chartist));
  

Use this function to emit an event. All handlers that are listening for this event will be triggered with the data parameter.

Parameters
event ( String )
The event name that should be triggered
data ( * )
Arbitrary data that will be passed to the event handler callback functions

interpolation.js

Module Chartist.Interpolation

Chartist path interpolation functions.

method Chartist.Interpolation.none()
    Chartist.Interpolation.none = function(options) {
  var defaultOptions = {
    fillHoles: false
  };
  options = Chartist.extend({}, defaultOptions, options);
  return function none(pathCoordinates, valueData) {
    var path = new Chartist.Svg.Path();
    var hole = true;

    for(var i = 0; i < pathCoordinates.length; i += 2) {
      var currX = pathCoordinates[i];
      var currY = pathCoordinates[i + 1];
      var currData = valueData[i / 2];

      if(Chartist.getMultiValue(currData.value) !== undefined) {

        if(hole) {
          path.move(currX, currY, false, currData);

      } else if(!options.fillHoles) {
        hole = true;
      }
    }

    return path;
  };
};
  

This interpolation function does not smooth the path and the result is only containing lines and no curves.

Returns

Examples
var chart = new Chartist.Line('.ct-chart', {
  labels: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
  series: [[1, 2, 8, 1, 7]]

});

method Chartist.Interpolation.simple()
    Chartist.Interpolation.simple = function(options) {
  var defaultOptions = {
    divisor: 2,
    fillHoles: false

  options = Chartist.extend({}, defaultOptions, options);

  var d = 1 / Math.max(1, options.divisor);

  return function simple(pathCoordinates, valueData) {
    var path = new Chartist.Svg.Path();
    var prevX, prevY, prevData;

    for(var i = 0; i < pathCoordinates.length; i += 2) {
      var currX = pathCoordinates[i];
      var currY = pathCoordinates[i + 1];
      var length = (currX - prevX) * d;
      var currData = valueData[i / 2];

      if(currData.value !== undefined) {

        if(prevData === undefined) {
          path.move(currX, currY, false, currData);
        } else {
          path.curve(
            prevX + length,
            prevY,
            currX - length,
            currY,
            currX,
            currY,
            false,
            currData
          );
        }

        prevX = currX;
        prevY = currY;
        prevData = currData;
      } else if(!options.fillHoles) {
        prevX = currX = prevData = undefined;
      }
    }

    return path;
  };
};

Cardinal / Catmull-Rome spline interpolation is the default smoothing function in Chartist. It produces nice results where the splines will always meet the points. It produces some artifacts though when data values are increased or decreased rapidly. The line may not follow a very accurate path and if the line should be accurate this smoothing function does not produce the best results.

Parameters
options ( Object )
The options of the cardinal factory function.
Returns
( Function )
Examples
var chart = new Chartist.Line('.ct-chart', {
  labels: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],

Parameters
options ( Object )
The options of the monotoneCubic factory function.
Returns
( Function )
Examples

method Chartist.Interpolation.step()
    Chartist.Interpolation.step = function(options) {
  var defaultOptions = {

          } else {
            // If not postponed we should draw the step line with the value of the current value
            path.line(prevX, currY, false, currData);
          }
          // Line to the actual point (this should only be a Y-Axis movement
          path.line(currX, currY, false, currData);
        }

        prevX = currX;
        prevY = currY;
        prevData = currData;

        prevX = prevY = prevData = undefined;
      }

}(this, Chartist));
  

Step interpolation will cause the line chart to move in steps rather than diagonal or smoothed lines. This interpolation will create additional points that will also be drawn when the showPoint option is enabled.

Parameters
( options )
Examples
var chart = new Chartist.Line('.ct-chart', {
  labels: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
  series: [[1, 2, 8, 1, 7]]
}, {
  lineSmooth: Chartist.Interpolation.step({
    postpone: true,
    fillHoles: false
  })
});

    }, []);

  // If this is a closed path we remove the Z at the end because this is determined by the close option
  if(chunks[chunks.length - 1][0].toUpperCase() === 'Z') {

  return this;
}
  

Parses an SVG path seen in the d attribute of path elements, and inserts the parsed elements into the existing path object at the current cursor position. Any closing path indicators (Z at the end of the path) will be ignored by the parser as this is provided by the close option in the options of the path object.

Parameters
path ( String )
Any SVG path that contains move (m), line (l) or curve (c) components.
Returns
( Chartist.Svg.Path )
The current path object for easy call chaining.
function stringify()

    }.bind(this), '') + (this.close ? 'Z' : '');
}
  

This function renders to current SVG path object into a final SVG string that can be used in the d attribute of SVG path elements. It uses the accuracy option to round big decimals. If the close parameter was set in the constructor of this path object then a path closing Z will be appended to the output string.

Returns
( String )
function scale()
    function scale(x, y) {
  forEachParam(this.pathElements, function(pathElement, paramName) {
    pathElement[paramName] *= paramName[0] === 'x' ? x : y;
  });
  return this;
}
  

Scales all elements in the current SVG path object. There is an individual parameter for each coordinate. Scaling will also be done for control points of curves, affecting the given coordinate.

Parameters
x ( Number )
The number which will be used to scale the x, x1 and x2 of all path elements.
y ( Number )
The number which will be used to scale the y, y1 and y2 of all path elements.
Returns
( Chartist.Svg.Path )
The current path object for easy call chaining.
function translate()
    function translate(x, y) {
  forEachParam(this.pathElements, function(pathElement, paramName) {
    pathElement[paramName] += paramName[0] === 'x' ? x : y;
  });
  return this;
}
  

Translates all elements in the current SVG path object. The translation is relative and there is an individual parameter for each coordinate. Translation will also be done for control points of curves, affecting the given coordinate.

Parameters
x ( Number )
The number which will be used to translate the x, x1 and x2 of all path elements.
y ( Number )
The number which will be used to translate the y, y1 and y2 of all path elements.
Returns
( Chartist.Svg.Path )
The current path object for easy call chaining.
function transform()
    function transform(transformFnc) {
  forEachParam(this.pathElements, function(pathElement, paramName, pathElementIndex, paramIndex, pathElements) {
    var transformed = transformFnc(pathElement, paramName, pathElementIndex, paramIndex, pathElements);
    if(transformed || transformed === 0) {
      pathElement[paramName] = transformed;
    }
  });
  return this;
}
  

This function will run over all existing path elements and then loop over their attributes. The callback function will be called for every path element attribute that exists in the current path.
The method signature of the callback function looks like this:

function(pathElement, paramName, pathElementIndex, paramIndex, pathElements)

If something else than undefined is returned by the callback function, this value will be used to replace the old value. This allows you to build custom transformations of path objects that can't be achieved using the basic transformation functions scale and translate.

Parameters
transformFnc ( Function )
The callback function for the transformation. Check the signature in the function description.
Returns
( Chartist.Svg.Path )
The current path object for easy call chaining.
function clone()
    function clone(close) {
  var c = new Chartist.Svg.Path(close || this.close);
  c.pos = this.pos;
  c.pathElements = this.pathElements.slice().map(function cloneElements(pathElement) {
    return Chartist.extend({}, pathElement);
  });
  c.options = Chartist.extend({}, this.options);
  return c;
}
  

This function clones a whole path object with all its properties. This is a deep clone and path element objects will also be cloned.

Parameters
[close] ( Boolean )
Optional option to set the new cloned path to closed. If not specified or false, the original path close option will be used.
Returns
( Chartist.Svg.Path )
function splitByCommand()
    function splitByCommand(command) {
  var split = [
    new Chartist.Svg.Path()
  ];

  this.pathElements.forEach(function(pathElement) {
    if(pathElement.command === command.toUpperCase() && split[split.length - 1].pathElements.length !== 0) {
      split.push(new Chartist.Svg.Path());
    }

    split[split.length - 1].pathElements.push(pathElement);
  });

  return split;
}
  

Split a Svg.Path object by a specific command in the path chain. The path chain will be split and an array of newly created paths objects will be returned. This is useful if you'd like to split an SVG path by it's move commands, for example, in order to isolate chunks of drawings.

Parameters
command ( String )
The command you'd like to use to split the path
Returns
( Array<Chartist.Svg.Path> )
function join()
    function join(paths, close, options) {

    for(var j = 0; j < path.pathElements.length; j++) {
      joinedPath.pathElements.push(path.pathElements[j]);
    }
  }
  return joinedPath;
}

The animate function lets you animate the current element with SMIL animations. You can add animations for multiple attributes at the same time by using an animation definition object. This object should contain SMIL animation attributes. Please refer to http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/animate.html for a detailed specification about the available animation attributes. Additionally an easing property can be passed in the animation definition object. This can be a string with a name of an easing function in Chartist.Svg.Easing or an array with four numbers specifying a cubic Bézier curve.
An animations object could look like this:

element.animate({
  opacity: {
    dur: 1000,
    from: 0,
    to: 1
  },
  x1: {
    dur: '1000ms',
    from: 100,
    to: 200,
    easing: 'easeOutQuart'
  },
  y1: {
    dur: '2s',
    from: 0,
    to: 100
  }
});

Automatic unit conversion
For the dur and the begin animate attribute you can also omit a unit by passing a number. The number will automatically be converted to milli seconds.
Guided mode
The default behavior of SMIL animations with offset using the begin attribute is that the attribute will keep it's original value until the animation starts. Mostly this behavior is not desired as you'd like to have your element attributes already initialized with the animation from value even before the animation starts. Also if you don't specify fill="freeze" on an animate element or if you delete the animation after it's done (which is done in guided mode) the attribute will switch back to the initial value. This behavior is also not desired when performing simple one-time animations. For one-time animations you'd want to trigger animations immediately instead of relative to the document begin time. That's why in guided mode Chartist.Svg will also use the begin property to schedule a timeout and manually start the animation after the timeout. If you're using multiple SMIL definition objects for an attribute (in an array), guided mode will be disabled for this attribute, even if you explicitly enabled it.
If guided mode is enabled the following behavior is added:

  • Before the animation starts (even when delayed with begin) the animated attribute will be set already to the from value of the animation
  • begin is explicitly set to indefinite so it can be started manually without relying on document begin time (creation)
  • The animate element will be forced to use fill="freeze"
  • The animation will be triggered with beginElement() in a timeout where begin of the definition object is interpreted in milli seconds. If no begin was specified the timeout is triggered immediately.
  • After the animation the element attribute value will be set to the to value of the animation
  • The animate element is deleted from the DOM
Parameters
animations ( Object )
An animations object where the property keys are the attributes you'd like to animate. The properties should be objects again that contain the SMIL animation attributes (usually begin, dur, from, and to). The property begin and dur is auto converted (see Automatic unit conversion). You can also schedule multiple animations for the same attribute by passing an Array of SMIL definition objects. Attributes that contain an array of SMIL definition objects will not be executed in guided mode.
guided ( Boolean )
Specify if guided mode should be activated for this animation (see Guided mode). If not otherwise specified, guided mode will be activated.
eventEmitter ( Object )
If specified, this event emitter will be notified when an animation starts or ends.
Returns
( Chartist.Svg )
The current element where the animation was added
