Charts: Basic Charts Implementation

This example shows how to use Charts to create a basic chart.

Creating a simple Chart instance

The Charts module allows you to create and customize different chart types. All you need to get started is a data provider (array), one line of code and a dom element (div) in which to render the Chart.

  1. YUI().use('charts', function (Y)
  2. {
  3. var myDataValues = [
  4. {category:"5/1/2010", values:2000},
  5. {category:"5/2/2010", values:50},
  6. {category:"5/3/2010", values:400},
  7. {category:"5/4/2010", values:200},
  8. {category:"5/5/2010", values:5000}
  9. ];
  10.  
  11. var mychart = new Y.Chart({dataProvider:myDataValues, render:"#mychart"});
  12. });
YUI().use('charts', function (Y) 
{ 
    var myDataValues = [ 
        {category:"5/1/2010", values:2000}, 
        {category:"5/2/2010", values:50}, 
        {category:"5/3/2010", values:400}, 
        {category:"5/4/2010", values:200}, 
        {category:"5/5/2010", values:5000}
    ];
 
    var mychart = new Y.Chart({dataProvider:myDataValues, render:"#mychart"});
});

The dataProvider attribute accepts either an array of object literals or a multi-dimensional array. Below is an alternative dataProvider source for the above chart.

  1. var myDataValues = [
  2. ["5/1/2010", "5/2/2010", "5/3/2010", "5/4/2010", "5/5/2010"],
  3. [2000, 50, 400, 200, 5000]
  4. ];
var myDataValues = [
    ["5/1/2010", "5/2/2010", "5/3/2010", "5/4/2010", "5/5/2010"],
    [2000, 50, 400, 200, 5000]
];
