Rendering Different Charts

In the Getting Started section, we discussed how to build a single series chart using FusionCharts Suite XT. In this section, we will show you how to create different charts and maps using FusionCharts and Vue.

Note that some of the chart types and the maps use data structures that are different from the one you use in a single-series chart. We will highlight those in the sections below, as follows:

Multi-series Charts

A Multi-series chart is used to plot data for more than one series of data values. It is also used to analyze and compare data points grouped in sub-categories. For example, you can plot the revenue collected each month for the last two years using a multi-series chart. Multi-series charts can also help you plot the highs and lows of multiple datasets, so that you can easily compare them.

In a multi-series chart, we have two or more datasets plotted against the same X-axis (or Y-axis) value. Let us build a Multi-series Column 2D Chart.

FusionCharts will load here..

As you can see, a Multi-series Column 2D Chart has vertically aligned rectangular bars on one axis with discrete values shown on the other. The length of a column is proportionate to the value it represents.

To build the chart shown above, we will use the data presented in the following table:

Quarter Previous Year Current Year
Q1 12000 24400
Q2 10500 29800
Q3 23500 20800
Q4 16000 26000

In the above chart, we have plotted quarters with data values for the previous and the current years along the X-axis. To convert this to a data format that FusionCharts can use, you need the following two properties:

  • categories
  • dataset

The illustration below can give you an idea about how we are going to assign values to these properties.

{ "header": "Chart Anatomy", "subHeader": "To know how FusionCharts works, it is important to understand the various components and concepts of a chart", "content": { "header": "Below are different sections with interactive annotated images describing various components and concepts of charts", "contentGroup": [ { "itemHeader": "", "imgSrc": "ms-column-chart-anatomy.png", "annotations": [ { "annotationNumber": "1", "annotationName": "dataset", "annotationDesc": "An array constituting different data series. Dataset here represents the data values concerning different categories.", "annotationDescLinkPath": null, "syntax": "[\r\n {\r\n \"seriesname\": \"Previous Year\",\r\n \"data\": [\r\n { \"value\": \"12000\" },\r\n { \"value\": \"10500\" },....\r\n ]\r\n },...\r\n]", "leftPosition": "16.5%", "topPosition": "16.5%", "annotationLinks": [] }, { "annotationNumber": "2", "annotationName": "Categories", "annotationDesc": "Categories depict different classes of the data, structured for the visual representation. It is an array of labels representing different quarters as shown above", "annotationDescLinkPath": null, "syntax": "[\r\n {\r\n \"category\": [\r\n { \"label\": \"Q1\" },\r\n { \"label\": \"Q2\" },...\r\n ]\r\n }\r\n]", "leftPosition": "16%", "topPosition": "73%", "annotationLinks": [] }, { "annotationNumber": "3", "annotationName": "Data Series1", "annotationDesc": "The first series of the multi-series chart, representing revenue of the previous year across its quarters", "annotationDescLinkPath": null, "syntax": "{\r\n \"seriesname\": \"Previous Year\",\r\n \"data\": [\r\n { \"value\": \"12000\" },\r\n { \"value\": \"10500\" },...\r\n ]\r\n}", "leftPosition": "29.5%", "topPosition": "87.5%" }, { "annotationNumber": "4", "annotationName": "Data Series2", "annotationDesc": "The second series of the multi-series chart, representing revenue of the current year across its quarters", "syntax": "{\r\n \"seriesname\": \"Current Year\",\r\n \"data\": [\r\n { \"value\": \"24400\" },\r\n { \"value\": \"29800\" },...\r\n ]\r\n }", "annotationDescLinkPath": null, "leftPosition": "64.5%", "topPosition": "87.5%" } ] } ] } }

As shown in the sample above, the chart compares the quarterly sales of a company for over two years. The data in the JSON format for the above chart looks as follows:

// Define the categories representing the labels on the X-axis
const categories =  [
  {
    "category": [
      { "label": "Q1" },
      { "label": "Q2" },
      { "label": "Q3" },
      { "label": "Q4" }
    ]
  }
]
// Construct the dataset comprising multiple series 
const dataset = [
  {
    "seriesname": "Previous Year",
    "data": [
      { "value": "12000" },
      { "value": "10500" },
      { "value": "23500" },
      { "value": "16000" }
    ]
  },
  {
    "seriesname": "Current Year",
    "data": [
      { "value": "24400" },
      { "value": "29800" },
      { "value": "20800" },
      { "value": "26800" }
    ]
  }
]

The number of objects passed in the series should be the same as the number of labels.

Now that the data is ready, let us dive in directly to render the chart. The consolidated code is given below:

// STEP 1: Include the dependencies
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import VueFusionCharts from 'vue-fusioncharts';
import FusionCharts from 'fusioncharts';
import Column2D from 'fusioncharts/fusioncharts.charts';
import FusionTheme from 'fusioncharts/themes/fusioncharts.theme.fusion';

Vue.use(VueFusionCharts, FusionCharts, Column2D, FusionTheme);

//STEP 2- Define the categories representing the labels on the X-axis
const categories = [{
    "category": [{
            "label": "Q1"
        },
        {
            "label": "Q2"
        },
        {
            "label": "Q3"
        },
        {
            "label": "Q4"
        }
    ]
}]
//STEP 3- Construct the dataset comprising multiple series
const dataset = [{
        "seriesname": "Previous Year",
        "data": [{
                "value": "12000"
            },
            {
                "value": "10500"
            },
            {
                "value": "23500"
            },
            {
                "value": "16000"
            }
        ]
    },
    {
        "seriesname": "Current Year",
        "data": [{
                "value": "24400"
            },
            {
                "value": "29800"
            },
            {
                "value": "20800"
            },
            {
                "value": "26800"
            }
        ]
    }
]

// STEP 4: Configure your chart
const 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"
    },
    categories: categories,
    dataset: dataset
};

export default {
    name: 'app',
    data() {
        return {
            "type": "mscolumn2d",
            "renderAt": "chart-container",
            "width": "550",
            "height": "350",
            "dataFormat": "json",
            dataSource
        }
    }
} <
/script>

//STEP 5: Render the chart
<template>
    <div id = "app">
    <div id = "chart-container">
    <fusioncharts: type = "type": width = "width": height = "height": dataformat = "dataFormat": dataSource = "dataSource">
    </fusioncharts>
    </div>
    </div>
</template>

You can also create various charts belonging to the multi-series family in a similar way. We have over 15+ multi-series charts. You can find more about their types, components, configurations etc. here.

Combination Charts

Similar to multi-series charts, combination charts also allow you to plot multiple datasets on the same chart. However, while in multi-series charts you need to use the same plot type for all datasets, in a combination chart you can use a different plot type for each dataset. For instance, you can show a column, a line, and an area plot on the same chart canvas.

Let us build a 2D Single Y-axis combination chart.

FusionCharts will load here..

As you can see in the 2D Single Y-axis combination chart above, a line, a column, and an area type plot share the same set of X and Y-axis. The line plot displays the projected monthly revenue of Harry’s SuperMart, while the column plot displays the actual revenue earned, and the area plot shows the monthly profit. To build the chart, we will use the data provided in the following table:

Month Actual Revenue Projected Revenue Profit
January 16000 15000 4000
February 20000 16000 5000
March 18000 17000 3000
April 19000 18000 4000
May 15000 19000 1000
June 21000 19000 7000
July 16000 19000 1000
August 20000 19000 4000
September 17000 20000 1000
October 25000 21000 8000
November 19000 22000 2000
Decemebr 23000 23000 7000

In the above chart, we have plotted monthly values for projected revenue, actual revenue, and profits made by Harry’s Supermart with monthly data values along the X-axis. To convert the data provided in the above table to a data format that FusionCharts can use, you need the following two properties:

  • categories
  • dataset

The diagram below can give you an idea about how we are going to assign values to these properties.

{ "header": "Chart Anatomy", "subHeader": "To know how FusionCharts works, it is important to understand the various components and concepts of a chart", "content": { "header": "Below are different sections with interactive annotated images describing various components and concepts of charts", "contentGroup": [ { "itemHeader": "", "imgSrc": "combination-2d-single-y-anatomy.png", "annotations": [ { "annotationNumber": "1", "annotationName": "dataset", "annotationDesc": "Dataset is the entire data structure of the chart. It's an array constituting different data series", "annotationDescLinkPath": null, "syntax": "[{\r\n \"seriesname\": \"Actual Revenue\",\r\n \"renderAs\": \"column\",\r\n \"data\": [{\"value\": \"16000\"}, ...]\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"seriesname\": \"Projected Revenue\",\r\n \"renderAs\": \"line\",\r\n \"data\": [\r\n {\"value\": \"15000\"},\r\n ...\r\n ]\r\n }, ....\r\n ]", "leftPosition": "16.5%", "topPosition": "16.5%", "annotationLinks": [] }, { "annotationNumber": "2", "annotationName": "Categories", "annotationDesc": "Categories depict different classes of the data structured for the visual representation. It is an array of labels representing different months as shown above", "syntax": "[{\r\n \"category\": [\r\n {\"label\": \"Jan\"},\r\n {\"label\": \"Feb\"},\r\n ....\r\n ]\r\n}]", "annotationDescLinkPath": null, "leftPosition": "14%", "topPosition": "78%", "annotationLinks": [] }, { "annotationNumber": "3", "annotationName": "Data Series", "annotationDesc": "Objects representing different data series of the combination chart.

As shown in the sample above, the chart compares the monthly sales and profits of the Supermart. The data in the JSON format for the above chart looks as follows:

// Define the categories representing the labels on the X-axis
const categories =  [
  {
    "category": [
        {"label": "Jan"},
        {"label": "Feb"},
        {"label": "Mar"},

        {"value": "19000"},
        {"value": "19000"},
        {"value": "19000"},
        {"value": "19000"},
        {"value": "20000"},
        {"value": "21000"},
        {"value": "22000"},

    ]
  },
  {
    "seriesName": "Profit",
    "renderAs": "area",
    "data": [
        {"value": "4000"},
        {"value": "5000"},
        {"value": "3000"},
        {"value": "4000"},
        {"value": "1000"},
        {"value": "7000"},
        {"value": "1000"},
        {"value": "4000"},
        {"value": "1000"},
        {"value": "8000"},
        {"value": "2000"},
        {"value": "7000"}
    ]
}
]

The number of objects passed in the series should be the same as the number of labels.

Now that the data is ready, let us dive in directly to render the chart. The consolidated code is given below:

You can also create various charts with various combinations in a similar way. We have over 10+ combination charts. You can find more about their types, components, configurations etc. from here.

Real Time Charts

Real-time charts are also referred to as data streaming charts, because they can automatically update themselves at regular intervals, by fetching new data from the server and discarding the previous values. You do not need to keep refreshing the page to see the updated versions of these charts.

FusionCharts XT supports various types of Real-time charts - Line, Area, Column, Stacked Area, Stacked Column, and Line (Dual Y axis). In the section below, we will see how to build a real-time area 2D chart.

FusionCharts will load here..

As you can see in the real-time 2D area chart above, the data plot is presenting the values present at a given instance. As soon as new values are available in the source data, the chart will update itself with the fresh values, gradually discarding the data plots displayed above.

In the above chart, we have plotted values of a stock (of Harry’s Supermart) on a business day, at intervals of 5 seconds between any two consecutive values. To convert the data provided in the above table to a data format that FusionCharts can use, you need the following two properties:

  • categories
  • dataset

The diagram below can give you an idea about how we are going to assign values to these properties.

{ "header": "Chart Anatomy", "subHeader": "To know how FusionCharts works, it is important to understand the various components and concepts of a chart", "content": { "header": "Below are different sections with interactive annotated images describing various components and concepts of charts", "contentGroup": [ { "itemHeader": "", "imgSrc": "real-time-area-chart.png", "annotations": [ { "annotationNumber": "1", "annotationName": "dataset", "annotationDesc": "Dataset is the entire data value representation of the plot. An array of values at each time interval. This data for a real-time chart is fed through multiple methods.", "annotationDescLinkPath": null, "syntax": "[{\r\n \"data\": [\r\n { \"value\": \"35.27\" },\r\n ]\r\n}]", "leftPosition": "26.5%", "topPosition": "16.5%", "annotationLinks": [] }, { "annotationNumber": "2", "annotationName": "Categories", "annotationDesc": "Categories depict different classes of the data, structured for the visual representation. It is an array of labels representing different timestamps as can be seen in the sample", "syntax": "[{\r\n \"category\": [\r\n { \"label\": \"Day Start\" },\r\n ]\r\n}]", "annotationDescLinkPath": null, "leftPosition": "17%", "topPosition": "72%", "annotationLinks": [] } ] } ] } }

In the sample above, the chart shows the values of the Harry’s Supermart stock throughout a single business day, at intervals of 5 seconds. The data in the JSON format for the above chart looks as follows:

// Define the category representing the labels on the X-axis
const categories =  [{
    "category": [
      { "label": "Day Start" },
    ]
}]
// Construct the dataset
const dataset = [{
    "data": [
      { "value": "35.27" },
    ]
}]

Now that we’ve seen the structuring of the data object, let us deal with feeding the real-time data into this format. There are multiple ways in which one can feed real-time data to FusionCharts.

  • The real-time data from the server can be transported through APIs, web sockets depending on the requirement
  • The data can be fetched at regular intervals from third-party endpoints as per the requirement
  • Data can be fed from google sheets in real-time.

To build the sample chart, we will feed the data at regular intervals from a random generator (math.random function), for the sake of simplicity.

function addLeadingZero(num) {
    return (num <= 9) ? ("0" + num) : num;
}

function updateData() {
    // Get reference to the chart using its ID(stockRealTimeChart)
    var chartRef = FusionCharts("stockRealTimeChart"),
    // We need to create a querystring format incremental update, containing
    // label in hh:mm:ss format
    // and a value (random).
    currDate = new Date(),
    label = addLeadingZero(currDate.getHours()) + ":" +
    addLeadingZero(currDate.getMinutes()) + ":" +
    addLeadingZero(currDate.getSeconds()),
    // Get random number between 35.25 & 35.75 - rounded to 2 decimal places
    randomValue = Math.floor(Math.random() *50) / 100 + 35.25,
    // Build Data String in format &label=...&value=...
    strData = "&label=" + label + "&value=" + randomValue;
    // Feed it to the chart. chartRef is the instance of the chart.
    chartRef.feedData(strData);
}

Now that the data and its transporting mechanism are ready, let us dive in directly to render the chart. The consolidated code is given below:

// STEP 1: Include the dependencies

    }]
}];

                                    1) / 100 + 35.25,
                                // Build Data String in format &label=...&value=...

                        }

                    }, 3000);
                }
            }
        }
    }

</script>

//STEP 4: Render the chart

You can also create various types of real-time charts in a similar way. We have 6 charts for which you can inject the data in real-time. You can find more about their types, configurations here.

Gauges

Gauges are powerful tools that can showcase information using a radial or linear scale to display data. FusionCharts XT provides you with seven different gauges - Angular Gauge, Bulb Gauge, Cylinder Gauge, LED Gauge, Linear Gauge, Thermometer Gauge and Vertical LED Gauge.

An angular gauge is used to show a specific value over a radial scale. The gauge is rendered with a radial scale that displays the data range. This scale can be color-coded to indicate divisions within the range. A dial is used to point to the data value. The gauge can also be rendered with multiple dials. It is often used to simulate a speedometer and on dashboards.

To start with, we'll build a simple angular gauge showcasing Nordstrom's Customer Satisfaction Score as shown below.

FusionCharts will load here..

So, any score less than 50 is bad and is shown in red. Any score between 50 and 75 is average and is shown in yellow. Any score above 75 means good and is shown in green.

To build the gauge shown above, we will use the data presented in the table below:

Range Color Hex Code
0-50 Red #F2726F
50-75 Yellow #FFC533
75-100 Green #62B58F

FusionCharts accepts data in JSON format. To convert this to a data format that FusionCharts can use, you need the following two properties:

  • colorRange
  • dials

The diagram below can give you an idea about how we are going to assign values to these properties.

{ "header": "Chart Anatomy", "subHeader": "To know how FusionCharts works, it is important to understand the various components and concepts of a chart", "content": { "header": "Below are different sections with interactive annotated images describing various components and concepts of charts", "contentGroup": [ { "itemHeader": "", "imgSrc": "angular-gauge-anatomy.png", "annotations": [ { "annotationNumber": "1", "annotationName": "colorRange", "annotationDesc": "Outlines the color variation of the angular gauge. An array consisting of objects with range of values along with the color code.", "annotationDescLinkPath": null, "syntax": "{\r\n \"color\": [\r\n {\r\n \"minValue\": \"0\",\r\n \"maxValue\": \"50\",\r\n \"code\": \"#F2726F\"\r\n },... \r\n ]\r\n}", "leftPosition": "33.5%", "topPosition": "46.5%", "annotationLinks": [] }, { "annotationNumber": "2", "annotationName": "dials", "annotationDesc": "Represents the value of the dial. A dial object with a value parameter representing the dial of the gauge.", "syntax": "{\r\n \"dial\": [\r\n {\"value\": \"81\"}\r\n ]\r\n}", "annotationDescLinkPath": null, "leftPosition": "52%", "topPosition": "60%" } ] } ] } }

The following code is the JSON representation of the tabular column with the required attributes to render the above gauge.The data in the JSON format for the above gauge looks as follows:

  // Define the colorVariations of the angular gauge
  const colorRange = {
    "color": [
      {
        "minValue": "0",
        "maxValue": "50",
        "code": "#F2726F"
      },
      {
        "minValue": "50",
        "maxValue": "75",
        "code": "#FFC533"
      },
      {
        "minValue": "75",
        "maxValue": "100",
        "code": "#62B58F"
      }
    ]
  };
  //Set up the dial value
  const dials = {
    "dial": [
      {
        "value": "81"
      }
    ]
  }

In the above JSON:

  • Create the colorRange object to set the color associated with the specific range of values.
  • Specify minValue and maxValue within the color array under the colorRange object.
  • Set the code attribute to specify the hex color of respective ranges.
  • Create the dials object to represent the customer satisfaction score.
  • Create the dial object under the dials object to set the value of customer satisfaction score.

Now that the data is ready, let us dive in directly to render the chart. The consolidated code is given below:

You can also create various charts belonging to the gauges family in a similar way. We have 7 different gauges. Check out the different types of gauges, their configurations here.

Maps

FusionMaps XT offers interactive maps that allow you to plot geographical data, such as revenue by regions, population by state, survey and election results. You can also add markers to pinpoint specific locations and routes. FusionMaps XT has over 1000 maps including all continents, major countries and all the US states.

You can download the map definition files separately from here if you want to save them locally. In the section below, we will see how to build a world map.

FusionCharts will load here..

As you can see in the map above, the data plot is indicating the average annual population growth across the 7 continents.

State Entity Name Value
North America NA 82
South America SA 2.04
Asia AS 1.78
Europe EU 40
Africa AF 2.58
Australia AU 1.30

To convert the data provided in the above table to a data format that FusionCharts can use, you need the following properties:

  • colorRange
  • data
  • id
  • value

The diagram below can give you an idea about how we are going to assign values to these properties.

Render other Maps

To reduce the size of the package FusionCharts comes with only two maps, i.e., the World map and the USA map. However, FusionCharts provide 1600+ maps for you to explore. Download the map files separately if you want to save them locally.

Let's create a map of California to show the "Web visits for a particular month" as shown below:

That's it! The California map is ready.

FusionCharts offers you more than 2000 different maps suitable for various purposes. You can find more about the different types of maps here.

Heat Map

A heat map chart utilizes different colors to represent data values within a table. It comes in handy the most, when you have to plot large and complex data sets. FusionCharts suite XT supports two types of heat map charts - a numeric heat map to plot numeric values, and a category-based heat map to plot non-numeric data.

TreeMaps are another similar chart types with heirarchial data. Treemaps are ideal for displaying large amounts of hierarchically structured (tree-structured) data. The space in the visualization is split up into rectangles that are sized and ordered by a quantitative variable.The levels in the hierarchy of the treemap are visualized as rectangles containing other rectangles. FInd more about the treemaps here.

In the section below, we will see how to build a heat map chart.

FusionCharts will load here..

As you can see in the heat map above, the data plot is indicating the ratings of four different smartphones based on five common components, with the help of different colors.

State Processor Screen Size Price Battery Backup Camera
Samsung Galaxy H5 8.7 8.5 9.3 9.7 8
HTC One (M8) 9.2 8.3 7.3 8.8 8.7
Apple iPhone 5S 9.1 8.6 7.2 8.4 9.5
Nokia Lumia 1520 8.8 9.1 9.7 9.2 8.1

To convert the data provided in the above table to a data format that FusionCharts can use, you need the following properties:

  • rows
  • columns
  • dataset
  • colorRange

The diagram below can give you an idea about how we are going to assign values to these properties.

There are more variants of Heatmap charts available with FusionCharts. Know more about Heat maps and its configurations here. You can also create various charts belonging to the PowerCharts family in a similar way.

Gantt Chart

A Gantt chart is a date/time-based chart, which you can use to plot tasks along with their start and end dates/times. You can also use the chart to define milestones for a project, indicating different stages with their deadlines. That way, you can constantly keep an eye on project status, and plan alternate strategies in case you encounter an unprecedented delay.

In the section below, we will see how to build a Gantt chart.

FusionCharts will load here..

As you can see in the Gantt chart above, the data plot is indicating the planned and the actual achievements, as well as the delays, with the help of different colors. In the above chart, we have plotted the Project Plan for the opening of a new store. To convert the data provided above to a data format that FusionCharts can use, you need the following properties:

  • categories
  • processes
  • datatable
  • tasks
  • connectors

The diagram below can give you an idea about how we are going to assign values to these properties.
