Custom Color Palette

Customize the default color of series or points by providing a custom color palette using the palettes property.

Point and Text Customization

Use the pointRender and textRender events to customize data point elements such as markers, fill colors, and data labels.

  • pointRender: Triggered before each point is rendered. Use this to change point-level properties like fill, border, or marker shape and size based on data values.
  • textRender: Triggered before each data label is rendered. Use this to customize label text, color, border, or font styles.

The following handler methods can be bound to the chart’s (pointRender) and (textRender) outputs:

public pointRender(args: IPointRenderEventArgs): void {
    if (args.point.y > 50) {
        args.fill = '#ff4081'; // Change fill color
        args.shape = 'Triangle'; // Change marker shape
    }
};

public textRender(args: ITextRenderEventArgs): void {
    args.text = args.text + ' units'; // Append suffix to labels
    args.color = 'blue'; // Customize label color
};

Chart Area Customization

Customize the Chart Background and Border

Use the background and border properties on the chart to change its background color and border.

import { ChartModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { DateFormatOptions } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base'
import { CategoryService, DateTimeService, ScrollBarService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,
    ChartAnnotationService, RangeColumnSeriesService, StackingColumnSeriesService,LegendService, TooltipService
 } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'


import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, DateTimeService, ScrollBarService, LineSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService,
        ChartAnnotationService, RangeColumnSeriesService, StackingColumnSeriesService, LegendService, TooltipService,],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title' background='skyblue' [border]='border'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='country' yName='gold' name='Gold'></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    public border?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = [
             { country: "USA", gold: 50 },
             { country: "China", gold: 40 },
             { country: "Japan", gold: 70 },
             { country: "Australia", gold: 60 },
             { country: "France", gold: 50 },
             { country: "Germany", gold: 40 },
             { country: "Italy", gold: 40 },
             { country: "Sweden", gold: 30 }
        ];
        this.primaryXAxis = {
           valueType: 'Category',
           title: 'Countries'
        };
        this.primaryYAxis = {
            minimum: 0, maximum: 80,
            interval: 20, title: 'Medals'
        };
        this.title = 'Olympic Medals';
        this.border = { width: 2, color: '#FF0000'};
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Chart Margin

Set the chart margin relative to its container using the margin property.

import { ChartModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { DateFormatOptions } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base'
import { CategoryService, DateTimeService, ScrollBarService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,
    ChartAnnotationService, RangeColumnSeriesService, StackingColumnSeriesService,LegendService, TooltipService
 } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'


import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, DateTimeService, ScrollBarService, LineSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService,
        ChartAnnotationService, RangeColumnSeriesService, StackingColumnSeriesService, LegendService, TooltipService,],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title' background='skyblue' [border]='border' [margin]='margin'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='country' yName='gold' name='Gold'></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    public border?: Object;
    public margin?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = [
             { country: "USA", gold: 50 },
             { country: "China", gold: 40 },
             { country: "Japan", gold: 70 },
             { country: "Australia", gold: 60 },
             { country: "France", gold: 50 },
             { country: "Germany", gold: 40 },
             { country: "Italy", gold: 40 },
             { country: "Sweden", gold: 30 }
        ];
        this.primaryXAxis = {
           valueType: 'Category',
           title: 'Countries'
        };
        this.primaryYAxis = {
            minimum: 0, maximum: 80,
            interval: 20, title: 'Medals'
        };
        this.title = 'Olympic Medals';
        this.border = { width: 2, color: '#FF0000'};
        this.margin = { left: 40, right: 40, top: 40, bottom: 40 };
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Customize the Plot Area

To customize the plot area, use the chartArea properties. The background and border properties change the plot area’s appearance. The width and height properties adjust its size.

import { ChartModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { DateFormatOptions } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base'
import { CategoryService, DateTimeService, ScrollBarService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,
    ChartAnnotationService, RangeColumnSeriesService, StackingColumnSeriesService,LegendService, TooltipService
 } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'

        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    public border?: Object;
    public chartArea?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = [

             { country: "China", gold: 40 },
             { country: "Japan", gold: 70 },
             { country: "Australia", gold: 60 },
             { country: "France", gold: 50 },
             { country: "Germany", gold: 40 },
             { country: "Italy", gold: 40 },
             { country: "Sweden", gold: 30 }
        ];
        this.primaryXAxis = {
           valueType: 'Category',
           title: 'Countries'
        };
        this.primaryYAxis = {
            minimum: 0, maximum: 80,
            interval: 20, title: 'Medals'
        };
        this.title = 'Olympic Medals';
        this.border = { width: 2, color: 'grey'};
        this.chartArea = { background: 'skyblue', width: '80%', height: '80%', border: this.border };
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Series Animation

Control how data series appear on load using the animation property.

  • enable: Set to true (default) or false to toggle animation.
  • duration: Specifies the animation length in milliseconds (e.g., 2000 for 2 seconds).
  • delay: Sets the time to wait before starting the animation in milliseconds.

Example:

public animation: Object = {
    enable: true,
    duration: 1500,
    delay: 100
};
