Enabling XYCursor does not have a built-in setting to make it “sticky”, so we’ll have to improvise. For that we’ll use two components: […]
tutorial This tutorial will show how you can use additional series to apply individual thresholds to columns in a ColumnSeries. The task Say we have a column chart and would like to apply individual threshold values for each column. Our data might look something like this: [{ “category”: “Research”, “value”: 450, “threshold”: 220}, { “category”: “Marketing”, […]

tutorial The defining characteristic of each donut, including donut charts, is its hole. It’s a space that can be used for good. This tutorial will show how we can easily add some labels inside it to display complementing information, such as sum of values for all the slices. Adding a label Most of the elements in […]
tutorial This tutorial will show how you can easily create a “3D stack” effect on regular LineSeries. Base chart Let’s take this chart as an example: Bit of a mess. It would help, if we somehow would be able make each individual LineSeries stand out. Enabling 3D The first step is to go from regular XYChart […]
tutorial This short tutorial will show how you can disable grip buttons on chart Scrollbar. Here’s a regular scrollbar: Scrollbar’s grips are accessible via its startGrip and endGrip properties. To disable them, simply use their disabled properties: chart.scrollbarX.startGrip.disabled = true;chart.scrollbarX.endGrip.disabled = true; chart.scrollbarX.startGrip.disabled = true;chart.scrollbarX.endGrip.disabled = true; { // … “scrollbarX”: { “type”: “Scrollbar”, “startGrip”: { […]

tutorial This tutorial will show how you can add “projected circles” on the map. Projected circles respect map projection and look much more natural, as if they were “laid down” on the ground, not stuck as pins. How to add regular images to map is covered pretty well in “Image series” section of our Map chart […]
tutorial In our main Map Chart article we have touched the topic of creating an image series, feeding them data, and positioning them. However, we were operating using plain, same shapes. This tutorial will show how we can use actual images as markers on the map. Using same image Explaining MapImageSeries in our Map Chart article, […]
