JSignage:Graph:Stacked bar and column charts
This page is related to Bar and column charts of jSignage Graph API.
Introduction
The stacked bar and column charts represent data as horizontal bars / vertical columns where the size of each bar / column is determined by the data associated to it. The particularity of these charts is that the some bars / columns can be stacked together, thus creating a combined bar / column.
For more details, see also this introduction section on bar and column charts.
.Graph.stackedBarChart()
$.Graph.stackedBarChart( attributes );
Returns: jSignage Object
Description
Draws a stacked bar chart layer. For each set of data from the 2D data source array, a stack of bars, each of variable size, is drawn from the baseline to the corresponding value (sum of bar values). Each bar in a stack has its own color and label.
Parameters
attributes
- Type: Plain Object.
- The stacked bar chart layer attributes, which can contain both the specific attributes detailed below and any of the common attributes to all bar & column charts.
