Flot Charts

2. Basic Usage

Source: https://github.com/flot/flot/blob/master/README.md

Create a placeholder div to put the graph in:

<div id="placeholder"></div>

You need to set the width and height of this div, otherwise the plot library doesn't know how to scale the graph. You can do it inline like this:

<div id="placeholder" style="width:600px;height:300px"></div>

You can also do it with an external stylesheet. Make sure that the placeholder isn't within something with a display:none CSS property - in that case, Flot has trouble measuring label dimensions which results in garbled looks and might have trouble measuring the placeholder dimensions which is fatal (it'll throw an exception).

Then when the div is ready in the DOM, which is usually on document ready, run the plot function:

$.plot($("#placeholder"), data, options);

Here, data is an array of data series and options is an object with settings if you want to customize the plot. Take a look at the examples for some ideas of what to put in or look at the API reference. Here's a quick example that'll draw a line from (0, 0) to (1, 1):

$.plot($("#placeholder"), [ [[0, 0], [1, 1]] ], { yaxis: { max: 1 } });

The plot function immediately draws the chart and then returns a plot object with a couple of methods.

Morris.js

2. Getting Started

Add morris.js and its dependencies (jQuery & Raphaël) to your page.

1 <link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/morris.js/0.5.1/morris.css">
2 <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
3 <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/raphael/2.1.0/raphael-min.js"></script>
4 <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/morris.js/0.5.1/morris.min.js"></script>

3. Your first chart

Start by adding a <div> to your page that will contain your chart. Make sure it has an ID so you can refer to it in your Javascript later.

<div id="myfirstchart" style="height: 250px;"></div>

Note:

in order to display something, you’ll need to have given the div some dimensions. Here I’ve used inline CSS just for illustration.

Next add a <script> block to the end of your page, containing the following javascript code:

new Morris.Line({
  // ID of the element in which to draw the chart.
  element: 'myfirstchart',
  // Chart data records -- each entry in this array corresponds to a point on
  // the chart.
  data: [
    { year: '2008', value: 20 },
    { year: '2009', value: 10 },
    { year: '2010', value: 5 },
    { year: '2011', value: 5 },
    { year: '2012', value: 20 }
  ],
  // The name of the data record attribute that contains x-values.
  xkey: 'year',
  // A list of names of data record attributes that contain y-values.
  ykeys: ['value'],
  // Labels for the ykeys -- will be displayed when you hover over the
  // chart.
  labels: ['Value']
});
