Percentage Calculation

Events are signals that let you execute specific actions—such as sending data to the server, and so on—using JavaScript, in response to any interactions/updates for a chart. FusionCharts Suite XT includes advanced features that let you add more context to your chart and make data visualization simpler. These features include chart updates, percentage calculation, and events.

This article focuses on how you can calculate the percentage of a data plot with respect to all the data plots using angular-fusioncharts component.

A chart configured to calculate the percent, is shown below:

{
    "chart": {
        "caption": "Countries With Most Oil Reserves [2017-18]",
        "subCaption": "In MMbbl = One Million barrels",
        "xAxisName": "Country",
        "yAxisName": "Reserves (MMbbl)",
        "numberSuffix": "K",
        "theme": "fusion"
    },
    "data": [
        {
            "label": "Venezuela",
            "value": "290"
        },
        {
            "label": "Saudi",
            "value": "260"
        },
        {
            "label": "Canada",
            "value": "180"
        },
        {
            "label": "Iran",
            "value": "140"
        },
        {
            "label": "Russia",
            "value": "115"
        },
        {
            "label": "UAE",
            "value": "100"
        },
        {
            "label": "US",
            "value": "30"
        },
        {
            "label": "China",
            "value": "30"
        }
    ]
}

Setup the Main Module

In this step, we will setup the main module to create the Column 2D chart. The code is given below:

// Setup needed in app.module.ts
import { NgModule, enableProdMode } from '@angular/core'
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FusionChartsModule } from 'angular-fusioncharts';

// Load FusionCharts
import * as FusionCharts from 'fusioncharts';
// Load Charts module
import * as Charts from 'fusioncharts/fusioncharts.charts';
// Load fusion theme
import * as FusionTheme from 'fusioncharts/themes/fusioncharts.theme.fusion';

// Add dependencies to FusionChartsModule
FusionChartsModule.fcRoot(FusionCharts, Charts, FusionTheme)

@NgModule({
      declarations: [
        AppComponent
      ],
      imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        FusionChartsModule
      ],
      providers: [
      ],
      bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule {
}

In the above code:

  1. Include necessary libraries and components using import. For example, angular-fusioncharts, fusioncharts, etc.

  2. Loaded FusionCharts, chart module and fusion theme.

  3. Add dependencies to FusionChartsModule.

The <fusioncharts></fusioncharts> component is available to be used by any component your app. We will render our first chart in the main app.component.

Add data to app.component.ts

Add the following code to app.component.ts:

// In app.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'app',
    templateUrl: 'app.component.html'
})
export class AppComponent { 
    dataSource: Object;
    chartConfig: Object;

    constructor() {
         this.chartConfig = {
            width: '700',
            height: '400',
            type: 'column2d',
            dataFormat: 'json',
        };

        this.dataSource = {
            "chart": {
              "caption": "Countries With Most Oil Reserves [2017-18]",
              "subCaption": "In MMbbl = One Million barrels",
              "xAxisName": "Country",
              "yAxisName": "Reserves (MMbbl)",
              "numberSuffix": "K",
              "theme": "fusion",
            },
            "data": [{
              "label": "Venezuela",
              "value": "290"
            }, {
              "label": "Saudi",
              "value": "260"
            }, {
              "label": "Canada",
              "value": "180"
            }, {
              "label": "Iran",
              "value": "140"
            }, {
              "label": "Russia",
              "value": "115"
            }, {
              "label": "UAE",
              "value": "100"
            }, {
              "label": "US",
              "value": "30"
            }, {
              "label": "China",
              "value": "30"
            }]
        };
        "events": {
            "beforeRender": function(e, d) {
                var message = "Hover on the plot to see the percentage along with the label";
                var customDiv = document.createElement('p');
                customDiv.innerText = message;
                customDiv.style.padding = "10px";
                customDiv.style.background = "rgb(245, 242, 240)";
                customDiv.style.textAlign = "center";
                e.data.container.appendChild(customDiv);

                var total = 0;
                e.sender.args.dataSource.data.forEach(function(dataObj) {
                    total += parseFloat(dataObj.value);
                });


                e.sender.addEventListener("dataplotrollover", function(rollEvent, rollData) {
                    var value = (rollData.value / total * 100).toFixed(2);
                    customDiv.innerHTML = '<b>' + rollData.categoryLabel + '</b> is <b>' + value + '%</b> of top 8 oil reserve countries';
                });

                e.sender.addEventListener("dataplotrollout", function(rollEvent, rollData) {
                    customDiv.innerText = message;
                });
            }
        }
    }
}

In the above code:

  1. Add the JSON data within the AppComponent class.

  2. Store the chart configuration in a JSON object. In the JSON object:

    • Set the chart type as column2d. Find the complete list of chart types with their respective alias here .
    • Set the width and height of the chart in pixels.
    • Set the dataFormat as JSON.
    • Embed the json data as the value of dataSource.

  3. Use the beforeRender() event to create the CSS elements.

  4. Trigger the dataplotrollover and dataplotrollout events when the mouse pointer is rolled over the data plots.

    • dataplotrollover event shows the percentage of the hovered plot on the page.
    • dataplotrollout event resets the default message.
    • renderComplete event calculates and stores the total value of the chart data.

  5. Add the customDiv.innerHTML to display the message inside the <div>.

Add data to app.component.html

Add the following code to app.component.html:

<!-- in app.component.html -->
<fusioncharts
    [chartConfig]=chartConfig
    [dataSource]=dataSource >
</fusioncharts>

In the above code create a fusioncharts directive is created in a template.
