ChartJS tooltip label for pie cart being cut - chart.js

I am trying to add tooltip in my chart, however some of them the label are being cut.
Hier is my code
var myPieChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'pie',
data: data,
options: {
title: {
display: true,
text: title,
fontSize: 36
},
tooltips: {
bodyFontSize: 22,
callbacks: {
label: function (tooltipItem, data) {
var number = data.datasets[0].data[tooltipItem.index];
var label = data.labels[tooltipItem.index];
var sum = data.datasets[0].data.reduce(function (a, b) { return a + b; }, 0);
var percentage = getPercent(number, sum);
return label + " " + Math.round(percentage) + " %";
}
}
}
}
Can anyone help me to make the label rendered properly? Many thanks
Regards

I would say your tooltip is going off the edge of your canvas, have a look at this jsfiddle for an example. Or see sample code at the end.
Or, without seeing the full code, I might assume that your 2014 chart is overlapping the 2015 chart. Maybe fixed with a z-index in CSS, but then the opposite effect with the other chart may happen?
Same code from jsfiddle:
<div style='width: 300px;'>
<canvas id='chart'></canvas>
</div>
var ctx = document.getElementById('chart');
var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'pie',
data: {
labels: ["I am a really really really really really really really really really really really reallyreally really really really really really long label so long I might go off the chart"],
datasets: [{
data: [5],
}]
},
options: {
legend: {
display: false
},
maintainAspectRatio: false,
title: {
display: false,
fontSize: 16
}
}
});

chart.js animate data through time? [duplicate]

I created an basic bar chart using chartjs and it works fine. Now I want to update the values on a time based interval. My problem is that after I created the chart, I do not know how to update its values correctly...
My code:
var ctx = $("#myChart").get(0).getContext("2d");
var dts = [
{
fillColor: "rgba(220,220,220,0.5)",
strokeColor: "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
data: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
}
];
var data = {
labels: ["Core#1", "Core#2", "Core#3", "Core#4", "Total"],
datasets: dts
};
var chart = new Chart(ctx);
chart.Bar(data);
//test code
setInterval( function () {
data.datasets[0].data = [random(), random(), random(), random(), random()];
chart.Bar(data);
},2000);
in the test code, I am updating the values with datasets[0].data- is this the right way to do it? The problem with this is that everytime I call chart.Bar(), the values are reset to 0 then animated to the random value (like I am recreating the chart). This way, all animations are always from 0 to value which looks strange. I would expect that if I update a value from 50 to 10 the bar would go down to 10 from 50 and not setted to 0 then animated to 10.
I did not found anything in the docs about this... am I doing something wrong or this is impossible with this library?
Update: Looks like chartjs has been updated (see comment below). There are some examples up that look very nice:
Here's an example of updating a line chart using new data: http://jsbin.com/yitep/5/edit
Here's how we can update existing data on a line chart: http://jsbin.com/yitep/4/edit
Original Post
As of Nov 2013, there seem to be very few options for updating charts.
There is a good example here (duplicated below) of adding new points to a line chart. Still kind of jumpy but not too bad. However, I think the effect probably depends on the chart you are using.
It does look like this is somewhere in the development pipeline. I don't see any indication of a release date yet though: https://github.com/nnnick/Chart.js/issues/13 [Closed as of Jul 26, 2014]

<h1>Live Updating Chart.js</h1>
<canvas id="myChart" width="400" height="150"></canvas>
</body>
</html>
The update() triggers an update of the chart.
chart.update( )
.update(config)
Triggers an update of the chart. This can be safely called after updating the data object. This will update all scales, legends, and then re-render the chart. A config object can be provided with additional configuration for the update process.
update() can be safely called after updating values of one or more existing points within the the data object, rendering the changes in one animated render loop.
// update the first dataset's value of 'March' to be 50
myBarChart.data.datasets[0].bars[2].value = 50;
// animate update of 'March' from 90 to 50.
myBarChart.update();
Here is how to do it in the last version of ChartJs:
setInterval(function(){
chart.data.datasets[0].data[5] = 80;
chart.data.labels[5] = "Newly Added";
chart.update();
}
Look at this clear video
or test it in jsfiddle
You also can use destroy() function. Like this
if( window.myBar!==undefined)
window.myBar.destroy();
var ctx = document.getElementById("canvas").getContext("2d");
window.myBar = new Chart(ctx).Bar(barChartData, {
responsive : true,
});
You just need to change the chartObject.data.datasets value and call update() like this:
chartObject.data.datasets = newData.datasets;
chartObject.data.labels = newData.labels;
chartObject.update();
Remove the canvas dom and add in again.
function renderChart(label,data){
$("#canvas-wrapper").html("").html('<canvas id="storeSends"></canvas>');
var lineChartData = {
labels : label,
datasets : [
{
fillColor : "rgba(49, 195, 166, 0.2)",
strokeColor : "rgba(49, 195, 166, 1)",
pointColor : "rgba(49, 195, 166, 1)",
pointStrokeColor : "#fff",
data : data
}
]
}
var canvas = document.getElementById("storeSends");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
myLine = new Chart(ctx).Line(lineChartData, {
responsive: true,
maintainAspectRatio: false
});
}
I think the easiest way is to write a function to update your chart including the chart.update()method. Check out this simple example I wrote in jsfiddle for a Bar Chart.
//value for x-axis
var emotions = ["calm", "happy", "angry", "disgust"];
//colours for each bar
var colouarray = ['red', 'green', 'yellow', 'blue'];
//Let's initialData[] be the initial data set
var initialData = [0.1, 0.4, 0.3, 0.6];
//Let's updatedDataSet[] be the array to hold the upadted data set with every update call
var updatedDataSet;
/*Creating the bar chart*/
var ctx = document.getElementById("barChart");
var barChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: emotions,
datasets: [{
backgroundColor: colouarray,
label: 'Prediction',
data: initialData
}]
},
options: {
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true,
min: 0,
max: 1,
stepSize: 0.5,
}
}]
}
}
});
/*Function to update the bar chart*/
function updateBarGraph(chart, label, color, data) {
chart.data.datasets.pop();
chart.data.datasets.push({
label: label,
backgroundColor: color,
data: data
});
chart.update();
}
/*Updating the bar chart with updated data in every second. */
setInterval(function() {
updatedDataSet = [Math.random(), Math.random(), Math.random(), Math.random()];
updateBarGraph(barChart, 'Prediction', colouarray, updatedDataSet);
}, 1000);

Hope this helps.
If destroy() and clear() is not working (just like what i had experience) you can use jquery to remove the canvas and append it again.
$('#chartAmazon').remove();
$('#chartBar').append('<canvas id="chartAmazon"></canvas>');
var ctxAmazon = $("#chartAmazon").get(0).getContext("2d");
var AmazonChart = new Chart(ctxAmazon, {
type: 'doughnut',
data: dataAmazon,
options: optionsA
});
I don't think it's possible right now.
However that's a feature which should come soon, as the author hinted here:
https://github.com/nnnick/Chart.js/issues/161#issuecomment-20487775
This is an example with ChartJs - 2.9.4
var maximumPoints = 5;// with this variable you can decide how many points are display on the chart
function addData(chart, label, data) {
chart.data.labels.push(label);
chart.data.datasets.forEach((dataset) => {
var d = data[0];
dataset.data.push(d);
data.shift();
});
var canRemoveData = false;
chart.data.datasets.forEach((dataset) => {
if (dataset.data.length > maximumPoints) {
if (!canRemoveData) {
canRemoveData = true;
chart.data.labels.shift();
}
dataset.data.shift();
}
});
chart.update();
}
window.onload = function () {
var canvas = document.getElementById('elm-chart'),
ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
var myLineChart = new Chart(ctx, {

}
}
});
var index = 0;
setInterval(function () {
var data = [];
myLineChart.data.datasets.forEach((dataset) => {
data.push(Math.random() * 100);
});
addData(myLineChart, index, data);
index++;
}, 1000);
}

There are 2 ways to solve it:
chart.update()
Delete existing chart using chart.destroy() and create new chart object.
The simplest way is to replace the canvas element and then call new Chart() again:
function reloadMyChart() {
$('myChart').replaceWith('<canvas id="myChart"></canvas>');
new Chart(document.getElementById("myChart"), {
data: yourChartData,
type: yourChartType,
options: yourChartOptions
});
}
Of course, you must replace yourChartData, yourChartType and yourChartOptions with the correct values required to initialize Chart.js. See Chart.js Docs.
You can call reloadMyChart function on a button click or any other event you need. Probably you'll add parameters to this function and use these to make a REST call to dynamically update your chart, like this:
function reloadMyChart(param1, param2) {
$('myChart').replaceWith('<canvas id="myChart"></canvas>');
$.get("restUrl?param1=" + param1 + "&param2=" + param2 + ",
function(data) {
// call new Chart() here and use returned data
}
);
Hope it helps! =)

full code , you can download in description link
As of 2022 and using ChartJS v3.7.1 you can use the code below.
Note that it is based on the JSBin snippets in doub1ejack's answer but these were not up to date and wouldn't work with the latest ChartJS version, mainly because the path to charts' data changed (now being yourChart._metasets[0]._dataset.data).
var canvas = document.getElementById('updating-chart'),
ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'),
startingData = {
labels: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7],
datasets: [
{
fillColor: "rgba(220,220,220,0.2)",
strokeColor: "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
pointColor: "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
pointStrokeColor: "#fff",
data: [65, 59, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40]
},
{
fillColor: "rgba(151,187,205,0.2)",
strokeColor: "rgba(151,187,205,1)",
pointColor: "rgba(151,187,205,1)",
pointStrokeColor: "#fff",
data: [28, 48, 40, 19, 86, 27, 90]
}
]
};
// Reduce the animation steps for demo clarity.
const myLiveChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: startingData,
options: {
scales: {
y: {
beginAtZero: true
}
},
maintainAspectRatio: false,
}
});
setInterval(function(){
// Get a random index point
var indexToUpdate = Math.round(Math.random() * startingData.labels.length);
// Update one of the points in the second dataset
myLiveChart._metasets[0]._dataset.data[indexToUpdate] = Math.random() * 100;
myLiveChart.update();
}, 5000);

You can check instance of Chart by using Chart.instances.
This will give you all the charts instances.
Now you can iterate on that instances and and change the data, which is present inside config.
suppose you have only one chart in your page.
for (var _chartjsindex in Chart.instances) {
/*
* Here in the config your actual data and options which you have given at the
time of creating chart so no need for changing option only you can change data
*/
Chart.instances[_chartjsindex].config.data = [];
// here you can give add your data
Chart.instances[_chartjsindex].update();
// update will rewrite your whole chart with new value
}
My solve was to actually store the charts outside of the state of Vue. Store the charts in a const variable in like a utility.js file. Then I was able to simply do this:
const PVR_CANVASES = {}
//This was my vue method for building the charts
build_metrics() {
this.votingResults.metrics.forEach(metric => {
const el = document.getElementById(metric.metric_data.canvas);
const n_chart = new Chart(el, {
type: 'line',
data: metric.chart.data,
options: {
responsive: true,
maintainAspectRatio: true,
layout: {
autoPadding: false
},
plugins: {
legend: {
display: false,
}
},
scales: {
x: {
display: false
},
y: {
display: false
}
},
elements: {
line: {
tension: 0.4
},
point: {
backgroundColor: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)'
}
}
}
});
PVR_CANVASES[metric.chart.id] = n_chart;
})
}
//UPDATE CHART IS THIS SIMPLE
this.votingResults.metrics.forEach(metric => {
const n_chart = PVR_CANVASES[metric.chart.id];
n_chart.data = metric.chart.data;
n_chart.update();
});
So simple, Just replace the chart canvas element.
$('#canvas').replaceWith(' id="canvas" height="200px"
width="368px">');

Using the dataURI method, I am not getting any color for the series of my pie chart

I have the following code running:
var options = {
chart: {
type: 'donut',
fontFamily: 'Lato Light'
},
series: [1,2,3,4,5],
labels: ['1','2','3','4','5'],
theme: {
monochrome: {
enabled: true,
color: '#b19254',
shadeTo: 'dark',
shareIntensity: 0.15
}
},
//colors: ['#b19254', '#9f834c', '#8e7543', '#7c663b', '#b99d65', '#c8b387'],
legend: {
position: 'bottom'
},
plotOptions: {
pie: {
donut: {
labels: {
show: true,
name: {
show: false
},
value: {
offsetY: -1,
show: true
},
total: {
show: false,
showAlways: false,
formatter: function (w) { return String(Math.round(chart.w.globals.seriesTotals.reduce((a,b) => { return a+b}, 0) * 100) / 100) + ' ' + $currency}
}
}
}
}
},
}
var chart = new ApexCharts(document.querySelector("#investment-chart-wrapper"), options);
chart.render();
var $chartData = chart.dataURI();
$chartData.then(
(result) => {
document.querySelector('#chartimg').setAttribute('src',result.imgURI);
});
The bit I am fighting with is the promise result of the dataURI() method from here.
For some reason, the chart I get has all the information including the series labels, but the color for the series does not show, leaving me with this. The color is used for the legend at the bottom, however.
I am sure I am missing something here. Please let me know what.
I was running into this problem as well today. It was because the animation of the chart has not taken place yet. You have to get the dataURI() after it has fully rendered or turn off the chart animation.
I was able to get this working by setting the rendered chart to a variable at the top of my js file and then using it in a function like this:
function SetChartImage() {
chartHistoricalPCTArea.dataURI().then(({ imgURI }) => {
var image = document.querySelector('#HistoricalPCTImage');
image.src = imgURI;
})
}

Representing multiple subsections within a section of a doughnut chart Chart.js

I am currently trying to create a doughnut chart that represents a projects completion with 2 mains sections; complete and incomplete. is there any way that I can make it so that the complete sections is split into multiple subsections which display peoples usernames when hovered without cluttering the legend?
Beneath is an artistic rendition because I feel like I haven't given enough information.
You can use the generateLabels function as described here.
Please take a look at below runnable sample code and see how it works.
var labels = ['Incomplete', 'Sam', 'Claudia', 'Kevin', 'Sonia', 'Kate'];
var data = [14, 5, 4, 3, 7, 5];
new Chart('myChart', {
type: 'doughnut',
data: {
labels: labels,
datasets: [{
data: data,
backgroundColor: labels.map((l, i) => i ? 'yellow' : 'lightblue'),
weight: 0.6
}]
},
options: {
plugins: {
legend: {
labels: {
generateLabels: () => [{
text: 'Incomplete',
fillStyle: 'lightblue',
strokeStyle: 'lightblue',
},
{
text: 'Complete',
fillStyle: 'yellow',
strokeStyle: 'yellow',
}]
}
}
}
}

Is it possible to draw a bar and arrow/pointer on the right side of a chart?

I currently have this chart.
I'm attempting to create something like this.
The bar on the side is static, but the section "heights" need to be programmable when the page loads. I attempted encoding in an SVG but I wasn't able to get it to stick to the chart.
I've got no clue how to make the final (current value) node to appear as an arrow pointing to the bar (or alternatively, as just a horizontal bar across the vertical one).
I made a sample codepen to simulate the dynamic chart I currently have.
(Or, per StackOverflow's requirements, the JS code used: )
var randoms = [...Array(11)].map(e=>~~(Math.random()*11));
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: randoms,
datasets: [{
label: 'value',
data: randoms
}]
},
options: {
scales: {
y: {
grace: 10,
}
}
}
});
function populate(){
let temp = ~~(Math.random()*11);
myChart.data.datasets[0].data.shift();
myChart.data.datasets[0].data.push(temp);
myChart.update();
}
setInterval(populate, 10000);
Any general pointers are also appreciated - I'm very new to all of this.
You can write a custom plugin for this, I added padding on the right to give space for the arrow to be drawn. You can play with the multiplyer values to make the arrow bigger/smaller
Example:
var randoms = [...Array(11)].map(e => ~~(Math.random() * 11));
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: randoms,
datasets: [{
label: 'value',
data: randoms,
borderColor: 'red',
backgroundColor: 'red'
}]
},
options: {
layout: {
padding: {
right: 25
}
},
scales: {
y: {
grace: 10
}
}
},
plugins: [{
id: 'arrow',
afterDraw: (chart, args, opts) => {
const {
ctx
} = chart;
chart._metasets.forEach((meta) => {
let point = meta.data[meta.data.length - 1];
ctx.save();
ctx.fillStyle = point.options.backgroundColor;
ctx.moveTo(point.x, (point.y - point.y * 0.035));
ctx.lineTo(point.x, (point.y + point.y * 0.035));
ctx.lineTo((point.x + point.x * 0.025), point.y)
ctx.fill();
ctx.restore();
})
}
}]
});
function populate() {
let temp = ~~(Math.random() * 11);
myChart.data.datasets[0].data.shift();
myChart.data.datasets[0].data.push(temp);
myChart.update();
}
//setInterval(populate, 10000);

Is it possible to define data attributes for each dataset value in a Chart.js chart?

Is it possible to define HTML5 data attributes for each dataset value in a Chart.js chart? The goal is to enhance the default tooltip information (e.g. X-axis value & Y-axis value) with additional information related to the target dataset value.
In the example below, a chart is displayed that plots the total number of diapers used by 6 children. When the tooltip displays, it says the name of the child and the number of diapers. I would like the tooltip to display age and gender, as well, and figured the tooltip callback could get these from data attributes attached to each dataset value.
I've reviewed the Chart.js documentation and searched online forums, like StackOverflow, without success.
var myChart = new Chart(document.getElementById('myChart'), {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ['Gabriel', 'Zelie', 'Santiago', 'Serafina', 'Berenice', 'Pia'],
datasets: [{ label: 'Diapers', data: [1050, 1224, 1382, 1166, 1471, 0] }]
},
options: {
legend: { display: false },
scales: { yAxes: [{ ticks: { beginAtZero: true } }] },
title: { display: true, text: 'Total Diapers Used' },
tooltips: {
titleFontSize: 18,
callbacks: {
label: function(tooltipItem, data) {
var defaultLabel = data.datasets[tooltipItem.datasetIndex].label + ': ' + tooltipItem.yLabel;
var age = "Age: <age>";
var gender = "Gender: <gender>";
var labels = [defaultLabel, age, gender];
return labels;
}
}
}
}
});
</script>
It depends how you structure your data. In my example I made an object that contains all the data.
let dataObject = {
Gabriel: {
diapers: 40,
age: 4
},
// Same structure here...
Zelie: {...},
Santiago: {...},
Serafina: {...},
Berenice: {...},
Pia: {...}
}
This way you can easily access your data in your tooltip with
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
label: function(tooltipItem, data){
return ['Name: '+tooltipItem.label, 'Diapers: '+tooltipItem.value, 'Age: '+dataObject[tooltipItem.label].age]
}
}
}
You should get all the information you need in the jsbin.
