Histogram Chart in EJ2 TypeScript Charts

7 May 202515 minutes to read

Histogram

To render a histogram series in your chart, you need to follow a few steps to configure it correctly. Here’s a concise guide on how to do this:

  • Set the series type: Define the series type as Histogram in your chart configuration. This indicates that the data should be represented as a histogram chart, providing a visual display of large amounts of data that are difficult to understand in a tabular or spreadsheet format.

  • Inject the HistogramSeries module: Use the Chart.Inject(HistogramSeries) method to inject the HistogramSeries module into your chart. This step is essential, as it ensures that the necessary functionalities for rendering histogram series are available in your chart.

import {  Chart, HistogramSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { points } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(HistogramSeries);

let chartData: Object[] = [];
points.map((value: number) => {
    chartData.push({
        y: value
    });
});
let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        minimum: 0, 
        maximum: 100
    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        minimum: 0, 
        maximum: 50, 
        interval: 10
    },
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: chartData,
            type: 'Histogram', 
            width: 2, 
            yName: 'y',
            binInterval: 20,
            showNormalDistribution: true, 
            columnWidth: 0.99
        }
    ]
}, '#element');

Events

Series render

The seriesRender event allows you to customize series properties, such as data, fill, and name, before they are rendered on the chart.

import {  Chart, HistogramSeries, ISeriesRenderEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { points } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(HistogramSeries);

let chartData: Object[] = [];
points.map((value: number) => {
    chartData.push({
        y: value
    });
});
let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        minimum: 0, 
        maximum: 100
    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        minimum: 0, 
        maximum: 50, 
        interval: 10
    },
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: chartData,
            type: 'Histogram', 
            width: 2, 
            yName: 'y',
            binInterval: 20,
            showNormalDistribution: true, 
            columnWidth: 0.99
        }
    ],
    seriesRender: (args: ISeriesRenderEventArgs) => {
        args.fill = '#ff6347';
    }
}, '#element');

Point render

The pointRender event allows you to customize each data point before it is rendered on the chart.

import { Chart, HistogramSeries, IPointRenderEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { points } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(HistogramSeries);

let chartData: Object[] = [];
points.map((value: number) => {
    chartData.push({
        y: value
    });
});
let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        minimum: 0,
        maximum: 100
    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        minimum: 0,
        maximum: 50,
        interval: 10
    },
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: chartData,
            type: 'Histogram',
            width: 2,
            yName: 'y',
            binInterval: 20,
            showNormalDistribution: true,
            columnWidth: 0.99
        }
    ],
    pointRender: (args: IPointRenderEventArgs) => {
        if (args.point.y >= 15) {
            args.fill = '#ff6347';
        } else {
            args.fill = '#009cb8';
        }
    }
}, '#element');
