Type class
AmSerialChart is the class you have to use for majority of chart types. The supported chart types are: line, area, column, bar, step line, smoothed line, candlestick and OHLC. The chart can be rotated by 90 degrees so the column chart becomes bar chart. The chart supports simple and logarithmic scales, it can have multiple value axes. The chart can place data points at equal intervals or can parse dates and place data points at irregular intervals.
Example:
var chartData = [{title:"sample 1",value:130},{title:"sample 2",value:26}]; var chart = new AmCharts.AmSerialChart(); chart.categoryField = "title"; chart.dataProvider = chartData; var graph = new AmCharts.AmGraph(); graph.valueField = "value"; graph.type = "column"; graph.fillAlphas = 1; chart.addGraph(graph); chart.write("chartdiv");

Properties
categoryAxis # |
Type Default Read-only. Chart creates category axis itself. If you want to change some properties, you should get this axis from the chart and set properties to this object. |
---|---|
categoryField # |
Type Default Category field name tells the chart the name of the field in your dataProvider object which will be used for category axis values. |
chartData # |
Type Default Read-only. Array of SerialDataItem objects generated from dataProvider. |
columnSpacing # |
Type Default The gap in pixels between two columns of the same category. |
columnSpacing3D # |
Type Default Space between 3D stacked columns. |
columnWidth # |
Type Default Relative width of columns. Value range is 0 - 1. |
dataProvider # |
Type Default Array holding chart's data. |
endDate # |
Type Default Read-only. If category axis parses dates endDate indicates date to which the chart is currently displayed. |
endIndex # |
Type Default Read-only. Category index to which the chart is currently displayed. |
maxSelectedSeries # |
Type Default Maximum number of series allowed to select. |
maxSelectedTime # |
Type Default The longest time span allowed to select (in milliseconds) for example, 259200000 will limit selection to 3 days. |
minSelectedTime # |
Type Default The shortest time span allowed to select (in milliseconds) for example, 1000 will limit selection to 1 second. |
rotate # |
Type Default If you set this to true, the chart will be rotated by 90 degrees (the columns will become bars). |
startDate # |
Type Default Read-only. If category axis parses dates startDate indicates date from which the chart is currently displayed. |
startIndex # |
Type Default Read-only. Category index from which the chart is currently displayed. |
zoomOutOnDataUpdate # |
Type Default Specifies if chart should zoom-out when data is updated. |
angle # |
Type Default Inherited from The angle of the 3D part of plot area. This creates a 3D effect (if the "depth3D" is > 0). |
autoMarginOffset # |
Type Default Inherited from Space left from axis labels/title to the chart's outside border, if autoMargins set to true. |
autoMargins # |
Type Default Inherited from Specifies if margins of a chart should be calculated automatically so that labels of axes would fit. The chart will adjust only margins with axes. Other margins will use values set with marginRight, marginTop, marginLeft and marginBottom properties. |
chartCursor # |
Type Default Inherited from Chart cursor. |
chartScrollbar # |
Type Default Inherited from Chart scrollbar. |
depth3D # |
Type Default Inherited from The depth of the 3D part of plot area. This creates a 3D effect (if the "angle" is > 0). |
marginBottom # |
Type Default Inherited from Number of pixels between the container's bottom border and plot area. This space can be used for bottom axis' values. If autoMargin is true and bottom side has axis, this property is ignored. |
marginLeft # |
Type Default Inherited from Number of pixels between the container's left border and plot area. This space can be used for left axis' values. If autoMargin is true and left side has axis, this property is ignored. |
marginRight # |
Type Default Inherited from Number of pixels between the container's right border and plot area. This space can be used for Right axis' values. If autoMargin is true and right side has axis, this property is ignored. |
marginsUpdated # |
Type Default Inherited from Flag which should be set to false if you need margins to be recalculated on next chart.validateNow() call. |
marginTop # |
Type Default Inherited from Number of pixels between the container's top border and plot area. This space can be used for top axis' values. If autoMargin is true and top side has axis, this property is ignored. |
plotAreaGradientAngle # |
Type Default Inherited from If you are using gradients to fill the plot area, you can use this property to set gradient angle. The only allowed values are horizontal and vertical: 0, 90, 180, 270. |
trendLines # |
Type Inherited from Array of trend lines added to a chart. You can add trend lines to a chart using this array or access already existing trend lines |

Type Default Inherited from It's a simple object containing information about zoom-out button. Other available properties of this object are fontSize and color. color specifies text color of a button. |
zoomOutText # |
Type Default Inherited from Text in the zoom-out button. |
colors # |
Type Default Inherited from Specifies the colors of the graphs if the lineColor of a graph is not set. It there are more graphs then colors in this array, the chart picks random color. |
graphs # |
Type Default Inherited from The array of graphs belonging to this chart. To add/remove graph use addGraph/removeGraph methods instead of adding/removing graphs directly to array. |
plotAreaBorderAlpha # |
Type Default Inherited from The opacity of plot area's border. Value range is 0 - 1. |
plotAreaBorderColor # |
Type Default Inherited from The color of the plot area's border. Note, the it is invisible by default, as plotAreaBorderAlpha default value is 0. Set it to a value higher than 0 to make it visible. |
plotAreaFillAlphas # |
Type Default Inherited from Opacity of plot area. Plural form is used to keep the same property names as our Flex charts'. Flex charts can accept array of numbers to generate gradients. Although you can set array here, only first value of this array will be used. |
plotAreaFillColors # |
Type Default Inherited from You can set both one color if you need a solid color or array of colors to generate gradients, for example: ["#000000", "#0000CC"] |
sequencedAnimation # |
Type Default Inherited from Specifies whether the animation should be sequenced or all objects should appear at once. |
startAlpha # |
Type Default Inherited from The initial opacity of the column/line. If you set startDuration to a value higher than 0, the columns/lines will fade in from startAlpha. Value range is 0 - 1. |
startDuration # |
Type Default Inherited from Duration of the animation, in seconds. |
startEffect # |
Type Default Inherited from Animation effect. Possible values are ">", "<", elastic" and "bounce". |
urlTarget # |
Type Default Inherited from Target of url. |
valueAxes # |
Type Default Inherited from The array of value axes. To add/remove value axis use addValueAxis/removeValueAxis methods instead of adding/removing axes directly to array. Chart creates one value axis automatically, so if you need only one value axis, you don't need to create it. |
backgroundColor # |
Type Default Inherited from Background color. You should set backgroundAlpha to >0 value in order background to be visible. We recommend setting background color directly on a chart's DIV instead of using this property. |
balloon # |
Type Default Inherited from The chart creates AmBalloon class itself. If you want to customize balloon, get balloon instance using this property, and then change balloon's properties. |
borderAlpha # |
Type Default Inherited from Opacity of chart's border. Value range is 0 - 1. |
borderColor # |
Type Default Inherited from Color of chart's border. You should set borderAlpha >0 in order border to be visible. We recommend setting border color directly on a chart's DIV instead of using this property. |
color # |
Type Default Inherited from Text color. |
fontFamily # |
Type Default Inherited from Font family. |
fontSize # |
Type Default Inherited from Font size. |
height # |
Type Default Inherited from Height of a chart. "100%" means the chart's height will be equal to it's container's (DIV) height and will resize if height of the container changes. Set a number instead of percents if your chart's size needs to be fixed. |
legendDiv # |
Type Inherited from Reference to the div of the legend. |
numberFormatter # |
Type Default Inherited from Object with precision, decimalSeparator and thousandsSeparator set which will be used for number formatting. Precision set to -1 means that values won't be rounded. |
panEventsEnabled # |
Type Default Inherited from This setting affects touch-screen devices only. If a chart is on a page, and panEventsEnabled are set to true, the page won't move if the user touches the chart first. If a chart is big enough and occupies all the screen of your touch device, the user won’t be able to move the page at all. That's why the default value is "false". If you think that selecting/panning the chart or moving/pinching the map is a primary purpose of your users, you should set panEventsEnabled to true. |
pathToImages # |
Type Inherited from Specifies path to the folder where images like resize grips, lens and similar are. |
percentFormatter # |
Type Default Inherited from Object with precision, decimalSeparator and thousandsSeparator set which will be used for formatting percent values. |
prefixesOfBigNumbers # |
Type Default Inherited from Prefixes which are used to make big numbers shorter: 2M instead of 2000000, etc. Prefixes are used on value axes and in the legend. To enable prefixes, set usePrefixes property to true. |
prefixesOfSmallNumbers # |
Type Default Inherited from Prefixes which are used to make small numbers shorter: 2μ instead of 0.000002, etc. Prefixes are used on value axes and in the legend. To enable prefixes, set usePrefixes property to true. |

Type Default Inherited from If true, prefixes will be used for big and small numbers. You can set arrays of prefixes via prefixesOfSmallNumbers and prefixesOfBigNumbers properties. |
version # |
Type Inherited from Read-only. Indicates current version of a script. |
