RGraph is a JavaScript charts library based on
HTML5 SVG and canvas. RGraph is mature (over 15 years
old) and has a wealth of features making it an ideal
choice to show charts on your website.
Get the latest version of RGraph (version 6.17) from
the download page. There's also older versions available,
minified files and links to cdnjs.com hosted libraries.
You can use these properties to control how the chart appears.
You can set them by including them in the options section of the
configuration as shown above.
If required, you can position the Pie chart using this instead of the margins. As well as a number, that gives the exact coordinate of the center position of the chart, this can also be a string like this: centerx: '+25' or this: centerx: '-40' which is then used to adjust the calculated coordinate.
Default: null
Name: centery
Description:

Default: null
Name: radius
Description:
If required, you can size the Pie chart using this instead of the margins. As well as a number, that gives the exact size of the chart, this can also be a string like this: radius: '+25' or this: radius: '-40' which is then used to adjust the calculated coordinate.
Default: null
Margin properties

Labels and text properties
Name: textAccessible
Description:
A new feature in 2016 that allows you to use dom text in place of canvas text. It makes for higher quality text that you can also select if desired (for copy/paste operations). It won't fit all situations and you can read more about the DOM text feature here. A good way to control borders/margins/padding etc is not to set them on the canvas but to wrap the canvas in a div and set them on that like this:
This can be visible or hidden and it controls whether the text is clipped to the edges of the canvas. It defaults to be visible and means you can set small margins if you wish.

Default: null
Methods
obj.get(name)
An accessor that you can use to retrieve the values of properties.
obj.set(name, value)
An accessor that you can use to set the values of properties.
obj.getShape(event)
This method makes it easy to get hold of which segment has been clicked on or
hovered over. It returns an object which has the following indexes available:
object
The chart object
x
This is the center X coordinate for the segment.
y
This is the center Y coordinate for the segment.
radius
This is the radius of the segment.
angleStart
This is the start angle of the segment. It's measured in radians - not degrees. 1 radian = 57.29 degrees.
angleEnd
This is the end angle of the segment. It's measured in radians - not degrees. 1 radian = 57.29 degrees.
dataset
Since Pie charts can only have one dataset this is always zero.
index
The zero-indexed index of the segment on the chart.
sequentialIndex
The sequentialIndex is the zero-indexed sequential index of the point on the
chart. Since, with Pie charts, there's only ever a single dataset this is always the
same as the index value.
tooltip
If a tooltip is associated with this segment this will be it. id:
strings are expanded for you (where the tooltip text is retrieved from the html
tag with the matching ID).
<script>
pie.canvas.onclick = function (e)
{
RGraph.redraw();
var canvas = e.target,
obj = canvas.__object__,
shape = obj.getShape(e);
if (shape) {
var x = shape.x,
y = shape.y,
radius = shape.radius,
start = shape.angleStart,
end = shape.angleEnd;
obj.path(
'b m % % a % % % % % false c s black f red',
x, y, x, y, radius, start, end
);
}
}
</script>
obj.explode(index, size)
The explode function allows you to programmatically
trigger the exploding (ie the highlighting of) a particular segment.
The explode method is used like so:
<script>
pie = new RGraph.Pie({
id: 'cvs',
data: [8,9,4,6],
options: {
}
}).draw();
pie.explode(index, size);
</script>
The index argument is the zero-indexed segment to operate
on (counting from
the north axis). And the size is measured in pixels.
obj.getAngle(value)
This method can be used to get an appropriate angle for a value using
the "scale" of the Pie chart. So if your Pie chart is
showing values that go from 0-100 and your requested value is 50, this
method will return an angle for the bottom of
the Pie chart (ie halfway around).
obj.on(event, function)
This method can be used to set an event listener on an object. It
operates similarly to the jqueryon function.
The first argument is the event that you wish to attach to and the second
is the handler function. For example:
.on('draw', function (obj)
{
// Put your event code here
});
The function is useful if you use method chaining when creating
your charts:
new RGraph.Pie({
id: 'cvs',
data: [4,5,3,8,6,3],
options: {
}
}).on('draw', function (obj)
// Put your draw event code here
}).on('click', function (e, shape)
{
// Put your click event code here
}).draw()
The responsive function helps your charts
respond to different browser window sizes and screen
resolutions. For example, for smaller screens, you
might want to have angled labels or show shorter
versions of them completely.
Update:
There is now the responsive configuration option available to you
and this is now the preferred method of configuration.
There's two coordinates properties on the
Pie chart and they're the
obj.angles property and the
obj.coordsText property.
obj.angles This holds the information
about the angles that make up the segments on the
chart. The properties that each entry holds are:
start angle (measured in radians)
end angle (measured in radians)
center x coordinate
center y coordinate
obj.coordsText This holds the
coordinates of all of the text that has been added
to the chart. Even if the text is blank (ie no text)
then the coordinates will be added to this variable.
Events
RGraph supports custom events that allow you to easily add interactivity to your charts if
required. The following events are available:
annotatebegin This event fires at the start of annotating - like the standard mousedown event.
annotate This event fires (repeatedly) during annotating - like the standard mousemove event.
annotateend This event fires at the end of annotating - like the standard mouseup event.
annotateclear This event fires at the end of the RGraph.clearAnnotations function.
beforeclear This event fires at the start of the RGraph.clear function.
clear This event fires at the end of the RGraph.clear function.
click This is similar to the standard canvasclick event but this only fires when you click on a bar - not the whole canvas.
crosshairs This event fires when you have the crosshairs feature enabled and you move the mouse.
beforecontextmenu This event fires when you have the contextmenu enabled and it is about to appear.
contextmenu This event fires when you have the contextmenu enabled and it has been displayed.
beforedraw This event fires at the start of the draw method before anything has been done.
firstdraw This event fires at the end of the draw function - but only the first time that the draw function is called.
draw This event fires at the end of the draw function.
beforeinteractivekey When you're using the interactive key this event fires just before the key and chart are highlighted.
afterinteractivekey When you're using the interactive key this event fires just after the key and chart are highlighted.
mousemove This event is similar to the standard mousemove event but only fires when you move the mouse over a bar on the chart.
mouseover This event is similar to the standard mouseover event but only fires when you move the mouse over a bar on the chart.
mouseout This event is similar to the standard mouseout event but only fires when you move the mouse away from a bar on the chart that you've previously hovered over.
beforetooltip This event fires at the start of the tooltip showing process.
tooltip This event fires after a tooltip has been shown.
For example:
new RGraph.Pie({
id: 'cvs',
data: [4,8,6],
options: {
}
}).on('draw', function (obj)
{
console.log('The draw event has fired');
}).draw();
Effects
These effects are available and can be used instead of the
draw function. There are also generic effects
available which you can see here:
