This is the dual canvas version of this demo that uses two canvas
tags. It has also now been changed to use the RGraph.common.starburst.js
code which
makes adding a starburst effect at the back of your canvas easier.
The background rotates on the rear canvas and the Bar chart is drawn on the foreground canvas. The single canvas version can be found in the demos that come with the download archive .
The Bar chart is straight-forward enough - it has a high marginInner
setting, no
labels and no tickmarks - though the labels at the top of each bar are done by using the
labelsAbove
and the labelsAboveOffset
options.
It also uses the wave()
animation effect.
What happens with the other canvas is quite interesting though - It uses the StarBurst code (which is bundled as part of RGraph) to create the rotating StarBurst effect that you can see. Because this is drawn on a separate canvas tag there are no issues generated for tooltips (if the StarBurst was drawn on the same canvas as the chart the constant redrawing would cause issues).
This goes in the documents header:<script src="RGraph.common.core.js"></script> <script src="RGraph.common.tooltips.js"></script> <script src="RGraph.bar.js"></script>Put this where you want the chart to show up:
<div style="position: relative; display: inline-block; width: 750px; height: 250px"> <canvas id="cvs_background" width="750" height="250" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0">[No canvas support]</canvas> <canvas id="cvs_foreground" width="750" height="250" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0">[No canvas support]</canvas> </div>This is the code that generates the chart:
