Background
backgroundBarcolor1The color of the background bars, (1 of 2).
Default: white
backgroundBarcolor2
The color of the background bars, (2 of 2).
Default: white
backgroundGrid
Whether to show the background grid or not.
Default: true
backgroundGridColor
The color of the background grid.
Default: #ddd
backgroundGridHsize
The horizontal background grid size.
Default: 40
backgroundGridVsize
The vertical background grid size.
Default: 18
backgroundGridWidth
The width that the background grid lines are. Decimals (eg 0.5) are permitted.
Default: 1
backgroundGridBorder
Determines whether a border line is drawn around the grid.
Default: true
backgroundGridHlines
Determines whether to draw the horizontal grid lines.
Default: true
backgroundGridVlines
Determines whether to draw the vertical grid lines.
Default: true
backgroundGridAutofit
Instead of specifying a pixel width/height for the background grid, you can use autofit and specify how many horizontal and vertical lines you want.
Default: true
backgroundGridAutofitNumhlines
When using autofit this allows you to specify how many horizontal grid lines you want.
Default: 5
backgroundGridAutofitNumvlines
When using autofit this allows you to specify how many vertical grid lines you want.
Default: 20
backgroundGridAutofitAlign
If you want to have your grid lines line up with the labels (both X and Y axes), you can set this to true and RGraph will attempt to make the grid lines line up. If you have a hmargin set then the alignment will be thrown out.
Default: false
backgroundGridDotted
If you want to have your background grid dashed then set this to true.
Default: false
backgroundGridDashed
If you want to have your background grid dotted then set this to true. This takes precedence over dashed lines.
Default: false
backgroundHbars
An array of information stipulating horizontal coloured bars. You can use these to indicate limits. Eg: myBar.set('hbars', [[75, 10, 'yellow'], [85, 15, 'red']]); This would give you two bars, one red and a lower yellow bar. The units correspond to your scale, and are the starting point and the height.
Default: null
backgroundImage
If you want to specify a background image to use on your chart, specify it with this property. If you use effects with a background image on your chart it may make the effect flicker. Using a background image with the ondraw event may mean that the event fires twice. There is a property that you can check though that is set when the image has loaded: obj.__rgraph_background_image_loaded__ Simply check this flag in your ondraw event. If it's true then the background image has loaded.
Default: null
backgroundImageStretch
By default your background image is stretched (if necessary) to cover the whole chart area (gutters not included). If this is not what you want then set this property to false.
Default: true
backgroundImageX
The X position of the image. The coordinates are the top left corner of the image.
Default: null
backgroundImageY
The Y position of the image. The coordinates are the top left corner of the image.
Default: null
backgroundImageW
The width of the image. If you have a large canvas with many charts - you may need to specify this.
Default: null
backgroundImageH
The height of the image. If you have a large canvas with many charts - you may need to specify this.
Default: null
backgroundImageAlign
Instead of specifying the coordinates of the image, you can instead simply align it top, bottom, left or right. Examples are:
- top left
- bottom right
- bottom
- right
Default: null
backgroundImageAlpha
The alpha value (the opacity) of the image.
Default: 1
backgroundColor
If you want to have a single background color for your chart you can use this. It doesn't cover the gutters. If you want that then you can simply apply a CSS background color to the canvas tag.

Default: false
Margins
hmarginThe horizontal margin (in pixels) of the chart. The horizontal margin is on the inside of the axes.
Default: 5
hmarginGrouped
In a grouped bar chart this is the margin between bars that are on the same group. You can see examples of the hmargins in the RGraph demos.

Labels and text
textAccessibleA new feature in 2016 that allows you to use DOM text in place of canvas text. It makes for much higher quality text that you can also select if desired (for copy/paste operations). It won't fit all situations and you can read more about the DOM text feature here. A good way to control borders/margins/padding etc is not to set them on the canvas but to wrap the canvas in a div and set them on that like this:

Methods
obj.get(name)
An accessor that you can use to retrieve the value of properties.
obj.set(name, value)
An accessor that you can use to set the value of properties.
obj.getShape(event)
This method makes it easier to get hold of which bar has been clicked on, or hovered over. It returns an array of:
- The chart object
- The X coordinate
- The Y coordinate
- The width of the bar
- The height of the bar
- The numerical index of the bar. This corresponds (for example) to the tooltips array, and the coordinates array
The shape also includes textual indexes like this: shape['object'] And they are:
- object
- x
- y
- width
- height
- tooltip
- index
<canvas id="cvs" width="600" height="250">[No canvas support]</canvas>
<script src="RGraph.common.core.js"></script>
<script src="RGraph.bar.js"></script>
<script>
bar = new RGraph.Bar({
id: 'cvs',
data: [1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5,6,1.9,2,2.1,2.5],
options: {
labels: ['John', 'Barry', 'Rich', 'Craig', 'Tom', 'Frank', 'Helen', 'Joyce', 'Fred']
}
}).draw();
bar.canvas.onclick = function (e)
{
RGraph.Redraw();
var ca = e.target;
var co = ca.getContext('2d');
var obj = ca.__object__;
var coords = obj.getShape(e);
if (coords) {
var top = coords[1];
var left = coords[2];
var width = coords[3];
var height = coords[4];
co.strokeStyle = 'black';
co.fillStyle = 'rgba(255,255,255,0.5)';
co.strokeRect(top, left, width, height);
co.fillRect(top, left, width, height);
}
}
</script>
obj.getShapeByX(event)
This method is similar to the above, but only uses the X coordinate to get the relevant bar.
obj.getValue(mixed)
This method can be used to get the value at a particular point or at the mouse coordinates, based on the scale that is in use. Not simply the coordinates of the mouse. The argument can either be an event object (for use in event listener functions) OR a two element array consisting of the X and Y coordinates (ie when you're not necessarily in an event listener). It returns null if the mouse or coordinates are in the gutter areas. An example:
bar.canvas.onclick = function (e) { var obj = e.target.__object__; var value = obj.getValue(e); // ... }
obj.getYCoord(value)
This method can be used to get an appropriate Y coord for a value when you're doing custom drawing on the chart. It returns null if the value is out of range.
obj.on(event, func)
This method can be used to set an event listener on an object. It operates in a similar way to the jQuery .on() function - the first argument is the event you wish to attach to and the second is the handler function. For example:
.on('draw', function (obj)
{
// Put event code here
});
The exec option and method
The exec function is documented here.
Errorbars
Errorbars can allow you show an upper and lower range for a particular bar likethis example page here shows. You can specify errorbars like this:
var bar = new RGraph.Bar({
id: 'cvs',
data: [12,18,10,9,6,20,18],
options: {
labels: ['Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday','Sunday'],
shadow: false,
colors: ['red'],
strokestyle: 'rgba(0,0,0,0)',
errorbars: [ [5,3], [2,6], [5,15,'blue',5,45] ],
errorbarsLinewidth: 2, // The default linewidth
errorbarsColor: 'gray', // The default color
errorbarsCapped: true, // Whether the ends of the errorbar have terminating lines
errorbarsCappedWidth: 14 // The default width of the caps
}
}).draw();
This would give you three errorbars and the elements of each errorbar array are (each one is optional):
- The upper extent of the errorbar
- The lower extent of the errorbar
- The color of this errorbar
- The linewidth of this errorbar
- The (total) width of the cap at the end of this errorbar
Note about the data_arr array
Sometimes you may wish to view your data as one big array, instead of one array per dataset. In this case the obj.data_arr is available. This is one long array containing all of the individual data points.
Animation Effects
These effects are available and can be used instead of the .draw() function. There are also generic effects available which you can see here: Generic effects and transitions<script> /** * Optional callback function that's called when the effect is complete */ function myCallback (obj) { // ... } var obj = new RGraph.Bar({ id: 'cvs', data: [3,4,7,5,6,9,8], options: { gutterLeft: 35, hmargin: 60 } }).wave({frames: 60}, myCallback); // .grow({frames: 60}, myCallback); </script>
