Area Chart in Angular Charts

27 Aug 202524 minutes to read

Area

Area charts are ideal for visualizing trends over time or across categories by displaying data as filled regions beneath connecting lines. They effectively show cumulative values and help compare multiple data series.

To render an area series in your chart:

Set the series type: Define the series type as Area in your chart configuration.
Inject the AreaSeries module: Use the @NgModule.providers method to inject the AreaSeriesService module into your chart to enable area series functionality.

Data binding for area series

Connect your data to the chart using the dataSource property within the series configuration. This property supports JSON datasets and remote data sources. Map the data fields to the chart series using xName and yName properties to ensure proper data visualization.

Multicolored area

Create area series with different colored segments to highlight specific data ranges or categories.

To render a multicolored area series:

Set the series type: Define the series type as MultiColoredArea.
Inject the MultiColoredAreaSeries module: Use the @NgModule.providers method to inject the MultiColoredAreaSeries module.
Configure segments: Define segments using the segments property with these options:
- value - Specifies the endpoint of the segment.
- color - Defines the segment color.
- dashArray - Defines dash patterns for the segment.

Empty points

Data points with null or undefined values are considered empty points. These points are handled according to the specified mode and can be customized for better visual representation.

Mode

Use the mode property to define how empty or missing data points are handled in the series. The default mode for empty points is Gap.

Events

Series render

The seriesRender event allows customization of series properties, such as data, fill, and name, before rendering on the chart.
