Spline area Chart in EJ2 TypeScript control
14 Dec 202424 minutes to read
Spline area
To render a spline area 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
asSplineArea
in your chart configuration. This indicates that the data should be represented as a spline area chart, where data points are connected by smooth, curved lines (splines) instead of straight lines. -
Inject the SplineAreaSeries module: Use the
Chart.Inject(SplineAreaSeries)
method to inject theSplineAreaSeries
module into your chart. This step is essential, as it ensures that the necessary functionalities for rendering spline area series are available in your chart.
import { Chart, SplineAreaSeries, Category } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { chartData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(SplineAreaSeries, Category);
let chart: Chart = new Chart({
primaryXAxis: {
valueType: 'Category',
title: 'Month'
},
primaryYAxis: {
minimum: -5, maximum: 30, interval: 5,
title: 'Temperature in Celsius',
labelFormat: '{value}°C'
},
series:[{
dataSource: chartData,
xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
// Series type as spline area series
type: 'SplineArea'
}],
title: 'Climate Graph-2012'
}, '#element');

Binding data with series
You can bind data to the chart using the dataSource
property within the series configuration. This allows you to connect a JSON dataset or remote data to your chart. To display the data correctly, map the fields from the data to the chart series xName
and yName
properties.
import { Chart, SplineAreaSeries, Category } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { chartData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(SplineAreaSeries, Category);
let chart: Chart = new Chart({
primaryXAxis: {
valueType: 'Category',
title: 'Month'
},
primaryYAxis: {
minimum: -5, maximum: 30, interval: 5,
title: 'Temperature in Celsius',
labelFormat: '{value}°C'
},
series:[{
dataSource: chartData,
xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
// Series type as spline area series
type: 'SplineArea'
}],
title: 'Climate Graph-2012'
}, '#element');

Series customization
The following properties can be used to customize the spline area
series.
Fill
The fill property determines the color applied to the series.
import { Chart, SplineAreaSeries, Category } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { chartData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(SplineAreaSeries, Category);
let chart: Chart = new Chart({
primaryXAxis: {
valueType: 'Category',
title: 'Month'
},
primaryYAxis: {
minimum: -5, maximum: 30, interval: 5,
title: 'Temperature in Celsius',
labelFormat: '{value}°C'
},
series:[{
dataSource: chartData,
xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
// Series type as spline area series
type: 'SplineArea',
fill: 'blue'
}],
title: 'Climate Graph-2012'
}, '#element');

export let chartData: Object[] = [

{ x: 'Feb', y: -1 },
{ x: 'Mar', y: 2 },
{ x: 'Apr', y: 8 },
{ x: 'May', y: 13 },

{ x: 'Sep', y: 16 },
{ x: 'Oct', y: 10 },
{ x: 'Nov', y: 4 },
{ x: 'Dec', y: 0 }
];
The fill property can be used to apply a gradient color to the spline area series. By configuring this property with gradient values, you can create a visually appealing effect in which the color transitions smoothly from one shade to another.
import { Chart, SplineAreaSeries, Category } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { chartData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(SplineAreaSeries, Category);
let chart: Chart = new Chart({
primaryXAxis: {
valueType: 'Category',
title: 'Month'
},
primaryYAxis: {
minimum: -5, maximum: 30, interval: 5,
title: 'Temperature in Celsius',
labelFormat: '{value}°C'
},
series:[{
dataSource: chartData,
xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
// Series type as spline area series
type: 'SplineArea',
fill: 'url(#gradient)'
}],
title: 'Climate Graph-2012'
}, '#element');

Opacity
The opacity property specifies the transparency level of the fill. Adjusting this property allows you to control how opaque or transparent the fill color of the series appears.
import { Chart, SplineAreaSeries, Category } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { chartData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(SplineAreaSeries, Category);
let chart: Chart = new Chart({

xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
// Series type as spline area series
type: 'SplineArea',
opacity: 0.5
}],

Border
Use the border property to customize the width, color and dasharray of the series border.

Empty points
Data points with null
or undefined
values are considered empty. Empty data points are ignored and not plotted on the chart.
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 you to customize series properties, such as data, fill, and name, before they are rendered on the chart.
import { Chart, SplineAreaSeries, Category, ISeriesRenderEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { chartData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(SplineAreaSeries, Category);
let chart: Chart = new Chart({

minimum: -5, maximum: 30, interval: 5,
title: 'Temperature in Celsius',
labelFormat: '{value}°C'
},
series:[{
