RGraph is a JavaScript charts library based on
HTML5 SVG and canvas. RGraph is mature (over 15 years
old) and has a wealth of features making it an ideal
choice to show charts on your website.
Get the latest version of RGraph (version 6.17) from
the download page. There's also older versions available,
minified files and links to cdnjs.com hosted libraries.

A 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:
This can be visible or hidden and it controls whether the text is clipped to the edges of the canvas. It defaults to be visible and means you can set small margins if you wish.

A single boolean value (ie true or false) to enable or disable all of the hotspots - true means the hotspot will be ignored
A single number (the zero-indexed number corresponding to the hotspot to ignore)
An array of numbers (the numbers are the indexes of hotspots to ignore)

Name: responsive
Description:

Default: null
Methods
obj.get(name)
An accessor that you can use to retrieve the values of properties.
obj.set(name, value)
An accessor that you can use to set the values of properties.
obj.getShape(event)
This method makes it easy to get hold of which segment has been clicked on or
hovered over. It returns an object which has the following indexes available:
object
The chart object
coords
This is an array of 8 numbers that represent the coordinates of each of the
four points that allow you to recreate the segment if required.
dataset
For a funnel chart there's only ever one dataset so this is always zero.
index
This is the zero-indexed index of the relevant segment.
sequentialIndex
As there's only ever one dataset on a Funnel chart this is exactly the same
as the index value.
tooltip
If a tooltip is associated with this segment this will be it.id:
strings are expanded for you (where the tooltip text is retrieved from the html
tag with the matching ID).
<script>
funnel.canvas.onclick = function (e)
{
RGraph.redraw();
var canvas = e.target,
obj = canvas.__object__,
shape = obj.getShape(e);
if (shape) {
var x1 = shape.coords[0],
y1 = shape.coords[1],
x2 = shape.coords[2],
y2 = shape.coords[3],
x3 = shape.coords[4],
y3 = shape.coords[5],
x4 = shape.coords[6],
y4 = shape.coords[7];
obj.path(
'b m % % l % % l % % l % % c s black f red',
x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, x4, y4
);
}
}
</script>
obj.on(event, function)
This method can be used to set an event listener on an object. It
operates similarly to the jqueryon function.
The first argument is the event that you wish to attach to and the
second is the handler function. For example:
.on('draw', function (obj)
{
// Put your event code here
});
The responsive function helps your charts
respond to different browser window sizes and screen
resolutions. For example, for smaller screens, you
might want to have angled labels or show shorter
versions of them completely.
Update:
There is now the responsive configuration option available to you
and this is now the preferred method of configuration.
RGraph supports custom events that allow you to easily add interactivity to your charts if
required. The following events are available:
annotatebegin This event fires at the start of annotating - like the standard mousedown event.
annotate This event fires (repeatedly) during annotating - like the standard mousemove event.
annotateend This event fires at the end of annotating - like the standard mouseup event.
annotateclear This event fires at the end of the RGraph.clearAnnotations function.
beforeclear This event fires at the start of the RGraph.clear function.
clear This event fires at the end of the RGraph.clear function.
click This is similar to the standard canvasclick event but this only fires when you click on a bar - not the whole canvas.
beforecontextmenu This event fires when you have the contextmenu enabled and it is about to appear.
contextmenu This event fires when you have the contextmenu enabled and it has been displayed.
beforedraw This event fires at the start of the draw method before anything has been done.
firstdraw This event fires at the end of the draw function - but only the first time that the draw function is called.
draw This event fires at the end of the draw function.
beforeinteractivekey When you're using the interactive key this event fires just before the key and chart are highlighted.
afterinteractivekey When you're using the interactive key this event fires just after the key and chart are highlighted.
keyclick This event fires when you click on the key - you don't have to be using the interactive key, however.
mousemove This event is similar to the standard mousemove event but only fires when you move the mouse over a bar on the chart.
mouseover This event is similar to the standard mouseover event but only fires when you move the mouse over a bar on the chart.
mouseout This event is similar to the standard mouseout event but only fires when you move the mouse away from a bar on the chart that you've previously hovered over.
beforetooltip This event fires at the start of the tooltip showing process.
tooltip This event fires after a tooltip has been shown.
For example:
new RGraph.Funnel({
id: 'cvs',
data: [100,48,32,12,5],
options: {
}
}).on('draw', function (obj)
{
console.log('The draw event has fired');
}).draw();
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>
//
// The optional callback function that's called when the
// effect is complete
//
function myCallback (obj)
{
// ...
}
obj = new RGraph.Funnel({
id: 'cvs',
data: [100,64,50,23],
options: {
}
}).grow({frames: 60}, myCallback);
</script>
