Amazon did a great job with the monitoring in OpsWorks (see screenshot). You can point at any time in any of the area charts and see all values for all charts at that time.
Is it possible to achieve something similar with the Google Visualisation API?
I also have multiple (stacked) area charts and it's a pain to point at each datapoint to get the exact value. Some of them are overlapping or very close together.
You can't trigger the tooltips in all of the charts at the same time, but if you disable the built-in tooltips, you can achieve something similar by building out your tooltips in HTML and populating them manually in a "onmouseover" event handler:
function mouseOverHandler (e) {
// use e.row, e.column to find data and populate your tooltips
}
function mouseOutHandler (e) {
// clear the tooltips
}
google.visualization.events.addListener(chart1, 'onmouseover', mouseOverHandler);
google.visualization.events.addListener(chart1, 'onmouseout', mouseOutHandler);
google.visualization.events.addListener(chart2, 'onmouseover', mouseOverHandler);
google.visualization.events.addListener(chart2, 'onmouseout', mouseOutHandler);
// etc...
In your stacked area chart (assuming you do not replace the tooltips with a custom solution), you can set the focusTarget option to 'category' to make all values at a given x-axis value show up in the tooltip (works only within one chart, not across charts).
You can also cheat by putting all three charts in the same chart element with a little trickery (and some limitations). For instance, you can make the chart like this:
Here is the code for that (dummy data):
function drawVisualization() {
// Some raw data (not necessarily accurate)
var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
data.addColumn('number', 'time');
data.addColumn('number', 'used');
data.addColumn('number', 'cached');
data.addColumn('number', 'free');
data.addColumn('number', 'user');
data.addColumn('number', 'system');
data.addColumn('number', 'io wait');
data.addColumn('number', '1 min');
data.addColumn('number', '5 min');
data.addColumn('number', '15 min');

// Create and draw the visualization.
var ac = new google.visualization.AreaChart(document.getElementById('visualization'));
ac.draw(data, {
title : 'Monthly Coffee Production by Country',
isStacked: false,
width: 600,
height: 400,
areaOpacity: 0.0,
focusTarget: 'category',
series: { 0: {areaOpacity: 0.5}, 1: {areaOpacity: 0.5}, 2: {areaOpacity: 0.5} },
vAxis: { ticks: [{v:0, f:""}, {v:0.5, f:"7.5 GiB"}, {v:1, f:"15.0 GiB"}, {v:1.5, f:"50%"}, {v:2, f:"100%"}, {v:2.5, f:"50%"}, {v:3, f:"100%"}, ] }
});
}
Basically, I put all 3 series on the same chart by putting them all as percentages of 1/3rd of the chart. So the first series is from 0-1, the second from 1-2, and the third from 2-3. I then used liberal quantities of {v:, f:} notation to make them look like different numbers (for the GiB particularly), and used the ticks option to make the axis look like it has 3 scales. Finally, I set focusTarget: 'category' so all lines get selected when you mouseover any of them.
You can format colors and even add dummy series to add thicker black lines between the series if you want to make them look more 'distinct'. You can also do some tricky stuff with dummy series and white areas and 100% opacity to potentially add background colors to higher areas. But the general concept is as outlined above, depending on what you are going for, it could work too.
I am using Google Chart to graph some data, and I want to customize colors. I also would like to use 3D bars (which means I cannot use core library BTW).
This is a screencap of the results I am getting:
Left is the original 3D chart, right is the customized one. As you can see, no shading is applied to the color I define for the 3D effect, instead a flat color is used for the whole column.
Is there any way to fix this?
PS. this is the code I use to geneate the charts:
function drawChartCoste(){
// Create the data table.
var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
data.addColumn('string', 'Valor');
data.addColumn('number', 'Grupo1');
data.addColumn('number', 'Grupo2');
data.addRow(['Consumo', 2.5, -17.860);
// Set chart options
var options = {'title':'Comparativa de coste',
'width':400,
'height':300,
'is3D':true,
'colors':['#C26900','#165C04']};
// Instantiate and draw our chart, passing in some options.
var chart = new google.visualization.ColumnChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
chart.draw(data, options);
}
While I firmly restate my opposition to 3d charts, it would seem that this is doable from this line in the Docs:
If is3D=true, this is an array of either HTML colors, or objects of this type: {color:face_color, darker:shade_color} where color is the element's face color, and darker is the shade color. However, if you specify an HTML color for a 3D object, face and shade will be the same color, and the 3D effect will be reduced. Example: {is3D:true, colors:[{color:'#FF0000', darker:'#680000'}, {color:'cyan', darker:'deepskyblue'}]}
Here is a sample:
// Set chart options
var options = {'title':'Comparativa de coste',
'width':400,
'height':300,
is3D:true,
colors:[{color:'#C26900', darker:'#B15800'}, {color:'#165C04', darker:'#054B00'}]
};
I have been using Area Chart for one of my project. I want the area chart to show full grid lines, and come to find out that it will only show if you have number or date data on major axis. Well I want year on major axis. But putting year as number, display that with number format. Something like this... 2005 displays 2005.00 .
I have found out by going through documentation that data can be passed in this format - {v:2005, f:'2005'}. But this is not working when I pass the value in this format using google.visualization.arrayToDataTable().
json data I was trying to pass on has format something like this -
[["Years", "sales"],[{v:2005, f:'2005'}, 52450],[{v:2006, f:'2006'}, 63457]]
But the chart is not coming up... :(
If you want to use the {v:2005,f:'2005'} trick, you can't use ArrayToDataTable, you need to define the DataTable somewhat differently. You can see a similar problem here:
Not Working DataTable:
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
['Category', 'Amount'],
['Food', {v:5595.819984, f:'5.595,82'}],
['Home', {v:1890.530002, f:'1.890,53'}],
['Mail', {v:8.380000, f:'8,38'}],
['Train', {v:564.899998, f:'564,90'}],
['Photo', {v:959.119995, f:'959,12'}],
['Lego', {v:428.760004, f:'428,76'}],
Working DataTable:
var data = google.visualization.DataTable();
data.addColumn('string', 'Category');
data.addColumn('number', 'Amount');
data.addRows([
['Food', {v:5595.819984, f:'5.595,82'}],
['Home', {v:1890.530002, f:'1.890,53'}],
['Mail', {v:8.380000, f:'8,38'}],
['Train', {v:564.899998, f:'564,90'}],
['Photo', {v:959.119995, f:'959,12'}],
['Lego', {v:428.760004, f:'428,76'}],
]);
The tooltips can be set to display percentages using the following code:
var formatter = new google.visualization.NumberFormat({
fractionDigits: 2,
suffix: '%'
});
formatter.format(data, 1); // Apply formatter to first column.
Is there a way for NumberFormat to multiply each element by 100? Otherwise the tooltip appears as .50%.
I am using vAxis.format = "format:'#%' " which does multiply by 100. So .5 is displayed as 50% on the vertical axis.
According to the documentation(icu-project.org/apiref), this can be overwritten by enclosing the % in single quotes, but this did not work.
The net result is that the tooltips do not match the axis. What is the best way to do this?
I got this working by specifying a formatter exactly as you do:
var chartData = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable(tableData);
var formatter = new google.visualization.NumberFormat({
fractionDigits: 2,
suffix: '%'
});
formatter.format(chartData, 1);
The 1 in the last call means the second column, in which I have float values.
Then I specify a format for the axis in the chart options, escaping the percentage sign as pointed out by documentation and others here:
var chartOptions = {
vAxis: { format: '#\'%\'' }
};
I then draw the chart:
var chart = new google.visualization.ColumnChart(document.getElementById('chart'));
chart.draw(chartData, chartOptions);
This renders a left side axis with values like 10%, 20% and so on. And the tooltips looks like the default one but with a percentage like 10.10%, 20.20% and so on.
If you want two fraction digits in the left side axis as well, use this as format in the chart options instead:
vAxis: { format: '#.00\'%\'' }
var formatter = new google.visualization.NumberFormat({
pattern: '#%',
fractionDigits: 2
});
Thanks to http://groups.google.com/group/google-visualization-api/
You must surround the percent (%) symbol itself in single quotes.
The line I used to do this looks like this: options['vAxis'] = {'format': "#,###'%'"};
Combining this with your formatter above, you can make the vertical axis have a percent symbol and also make the tooltip include it too.
Ok... So this is a little late. I admit I didn't need this seven years ago. Nevertheless, this worked for me.
var rows = data.getNumberOfRows();
for (var i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
data.setFormattedValue(i, 4, (data.getFormattedValue(i, 4)*100).toFixed(1) + "%"); //LY
data.setFormattedValue(i, 3, (data.getFormattedValue(i, 3)*100).toFixed(1) + "%"); //TY
}
In my case, I am using four columns, two of which are assigned to the right axis with percentages. I wanted those columns' tooltips to reflect the proper percentage rather than the decimal representation.
Here is a link to the Google docs:
https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/reference#DataTable_setFormattedValue
I hope this helps some random stranger looking for it. ;)
