Multiple Series

In EjChart, you can add multiple series object in the series options. The series are rendered in the order it is added to the series option, by default. You can change this order by using the zOrder option.

  • JAVASCRIPT
    • "use strict";
// ...  
//Adding Multiple Series
var series =[{   // Add first series
              points: [{ x: "USA", y: 50 },
                       // ...
                  ],
                type: 'column',
                // ...
             },
            {       // Add second series
              points: [{ x: "USA", y: 70 },
                       // ...
                   ],                
                 type: 'column'
                 // ...
             },
            {      // Add third series
              points: [{ x: "USA", y: 45 },
                       // ...
                  ],                
                type: 'column'
                // ...
}]
// ...

ReactDOM.render(
    <EJ.Chart id="default_chart_sample_0"
	series={series}
    >        
            
    </EJ.Chart>,
		  document.getElementById('chart')
);

    Customizing all series together

    By using the commonSeriesOptions, you can customize the series options for all the series commonly, instead of setting the options directly on each series object.

    NOTE

    The inline properties of the series has the first priority and override the commonSeriesOptions.

    The following code example explains on how to enable marker, tooltip and animation for the chart series by using the commonSeriesOptions.

  • JAVASCRIPT
    • "use strict";
//  ...
         
//Initializing Common Properties for all the series		  
var commonSeriesOptions ={
                type: 'line',
                enableAnimation: true,
                tooltip: {
                    visible: true,
                    template: 'Tooltip'
                },
                marker: {
                    shape: 'circle',
                    size:
                    {
                        height: 10, width: 10
                    },
                    visible: true
                },
                border: { width: 2 }
};

var series= [{
                    // ...         
                },{                
                    //  ...         
              }],
              
//  ...

ReactDOM.render(
    <EJ.Chart id="default_chart_sample_0"
	commonSeriesOptions= {commonSeriesOptions}
	series={series}
    >        
            
    </EJ.Chart>,
		  document.getElementById('chart')
);

    Combination Series

    EjChart allows you to render the combination of different series in the chart.

  • JAVASCRIPT
    • "use strict";
//  ...

var series= [{
                //Set chart type to series1
                 type: 'column',         
               // ...         
            },{
                //Set chart type to series2
                 type: 'line',         
               //  ...         
            }];
			
//  ...			

ReactDOM.render(
    <EJ.Chart id="default_chart_sample_0"
	series={series}
    >        
            
    </EJ.Chart>,
		  document.getElementById('chart')
);

    Limitation of combination chart

    When the combination of Cartesian and accumulation series types are added to the series option, the series that are similar to the first series are rendered and other series are ignored. The following code example illustrates this,

  • JAVASCRIPT
    • "use strict";
          //  ...
          
          //Adding Multiple Series
          var series= [{    // Add line series
                 points: [{ x: "Jan", y: 45 },
                    // ...
                 ],
                 type: 'line',
                 // ...
               },
               {       // Add [Pie](chart-types#pie-chart) series
                points: [{ x: "Jan", y: 70 },
                  // ...
                ],                
              type: 'pie'
                // ...
            }];		

        ReactDOM.render(
            <EJ.Chart id="default_chart_sample_0"
	        series={series}
            >        
            
            </EJ.Chart>,
		        document.getElementById('chart')
        );
