27 Apr 202424 minutes to read

You can use numeric axis to represent numeric values of data in chart. By default, the valueType of an axis is Double.

To known about numeric axis, you can check on this video:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { ColumnSeriesService, AreaSeriesService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



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

@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ ColumnSeriesService, AreaSeriesService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Area' xName='x' yName='y' name='England'></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = [
    { x: 1, y: 7 }, { x: 2, y: 1 }, { x: 3, y: 1 }, { x: 4, y: 14 }, { x: 5, y: 1 }, { x: 6, y: 10 },
    { x: 7, y: 8 }, { x: 8, y: 6 }, { x: 9, y: 10 }, { x: 10, y: 10 }, { x: 11, y: 16 }, { x: 12, y: 6 },
    { x: 13, y: 14 }, { x: 14, y: 7 }, { x: 15, y: 5 }, { x: 16, y: 2 }, { x: 17, y: 14 }, { x: 18, y: 7 },
    { x: 19, y: 7 }, { x: 20, y: 10 }];
        this.title = 'England - Run Rate';
    }

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

Range

Range for an axis, will be calculated automatically based on the provided data, you can also customize the range of the axis using minimum, maximum and interval property of the axis.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { ColumnSeriesService, AreaSeriesService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



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

@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ ColumnSeriesService, AreaSeriesService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Area' xName='x' yName='y' name='England'></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'Double',
            minimum: 1,
            maximum: 20,
            interval: 5,
            title: 'Overs'
        };
        this.chartData = chartData;
        this.title = 'England - Run Rate';
    }

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

Range Padding

Padding can be applied to the minimum and maximum extremes of the axis range by using the rangePadding property. Numeric axis supports following types of padding.

  • None
  • Round
  • Additional
  • Normal
  • Auto

Numeric - None

When the rangePadding is set to None, minimum and maximum of an axis is based on the data.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { ColumnSeriesService, AreaSeriesService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



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

@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ ColumnSeriesService, AreaSeriesService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Area' xName='x' yName='y' name='England'></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = chartData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'Double',
            title: 'Overs'
        };
        this.primaryYAxis = {
           title: 'Runs',
           valueType: 'Double',
           rangePadding: 'None'
        };
        this.title = 'England - Run Rate';
    }

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

Numeric - Round

When the rangePadding is set to Round, minimum and maximum will be rounded to the nearest possible value divisible by interval. For example, when the minimum is 3.5 and the interval is 1, then the minimum will be rounded to 3.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { ColumnSeriesService, AreaSeriesService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'

            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Area' xName='x' yName='y' name='England'></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {

    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = chartData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'Double',
            title: 'Overs'
        };
        this.primaryYAxis = {
           title: 'Runs',
           valueType: 'Double',
           rangePadding: 'Round'
        };
        this.title = 'England - Run Rate';
    }

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

Numeric - Additional

When the rangePadding is set to Additional, interval of an axis will be padded to the minimum and maximum of the axis.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'

        };
        this.title = 'England - Run Rate';
    }

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

Numeric - Normal

When the rangePadding is set to Normal, padding is applied to the axis based on default range calculation.

    }

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

Numeric - Auto

When the rangePadding is set to Auto,horizontal numeric axis takes None as padding calculation, while the vertical numeric axis takes Normal as padding calculation.

Label Format

Numeric Label Format

Numeric labels can be formatted by using the labelFormat property.
Numeric labels supports all globalize format.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { ColumnSeriesService, AreaSeriesService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'

    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.formatData = formatData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            title: 'Year',
            edgeLabelPlacement: 'Shift'
        };
        this.primaryYAxis = {
           title: 'Sales Amount in Millions',
           labelFormat: 'c'
        };
        this.title = 'Average Sales Comparison';
    }

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

The following table describes the result of applying some commonly used label formats on numeric values.

1000 n2 1000.00 The Number is rounded to 2 decimal place
1000 n3 1000.000 The Number is rounded to 3 decimal place
0.01 p1 1.0% The Number is converted to percentage with 1 decimal place
0.01 p2 1.00% The Number is converted to percentage with 2 decimal place
0.01 p3 1.000% The Number is converted to percentage with 3 decimal place
1000 c1 $1000.0 The Currency symbol is appended to number and number is rounded to 1 decimal place
1000 c2 $1000.00 The Currency symbol is appended to number and number is rounded to 2 decimal place

GroupingSeparator

To separate groups of thousands, use useGroupingSeparator property in chart.

    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.groupingData = groupingData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            title: 'Quantity',
            edgeLabelPlacement: 'Shift'
        };
        this.primaryYAxis = {
