Numeric axis in EJ2 TypeScript Chart control

8 May 202323 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.

index.ts
index.html
import { Chart, LineSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
Chart.Inject(LineSeries);
let chartData: any[] = [{ 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 }];
let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        // Numerical scale in primary X Axis
        valueType: 'Double',
    },
    series:[{
        dataSource: chartData,
        xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
        type: 'Line'
    }],

}, '#element');

Range

Range of 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.

index.ts
index.html
import { Chart, LineSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { numericData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(LineSeries);

let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Double',
        // Numeric axis range
        minimum: 1,
        maximum: 20,
        interval: 5
    },
    series: [{
        dataSource: numericData,
        xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
        type: 'Line'
    }],

}, '#element');

Range Padding

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

None
Round
Additional
Normal
Auto

Numeric - None

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

index.ts
index.html
import { Chart, LineSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { numericData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(LineSeries);

let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Double',
    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        //RangePadding as none in Y Axis
        rangePadding: 'None'
    },
    series:[{
        dataSource: numericData,
        xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
        type: 'Line'
    }],

}, '#element');

Numeric - Round

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

index.ts
index.html
import { Chart, LineSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { numericData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(LineSeries);
let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Double',
     },
    primaryYAxis: {
        rangePadding: 'Round'
    },
    series:[{
        dataSource: numericData,
        xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
        type: 'Line'
    }],

}, '#element');

Numeric - Additional

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

index.ts
index.html
import { Chart, LineSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { numericData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(LineSeries);
let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Double',
     },
    primaryYAxis: {
        rangePadding: 'Additional'
    },
    series:[{
        dataSource: numericData,
        xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
        type: 'Line'
    }],

}, '#element');

Numeric - Normal

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

index.ts
index.html
import { Chart, LineSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { numericData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(LineSeries);
let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Double',
    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        rangePadding: 'Normal'
    },
    series:[{
        dataSource: numericData,
        xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
        type: 'Line'
    }],

}, '#element');

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.

index.ts
index.html
import { Chart, LineSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { numericData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(LineSeries);
let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Double',
        // Set the rangePadding as auto in X Axis
        rangePadding: 'Auto'
    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        valueType: 'Double',
        // Set the rangePadding as auto in Y Axis
        rangePadding: 'Auto'
    },
    series:[{
        dataSource: numericData,
        xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
        type: 'Line'
    }],

}, '#element');

Label Format

Numeric Label Format

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

index.ts
index.html
import { Chart, LineSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { numericData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(LineSeries);

let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryYAxis: {
        //Label format as currency
        labelFormat: 'c'
    },
    series:[{
        dataSource: numericData,
        xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
        type: 'Line'
    }],

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

Label Value	Label Format property value	Result	Description
1000	n1	1000.0	The Number is rounded to 1 decimal place
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.

index.ts
index.html
import { Chart, ColumnSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { groupingData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(ColumnSeries);

let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    series:[{
        dataSource: groupingData,
        xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
        type: 'Column'
    }],
useGroupingSeparator: true
}, '#element');

Custom Label Format

Axis also supports custom label format using placeholder like {value}°C, in which the value represent the axis label e.g 20°C.

index.ts
index.html
import { Chart, ColumnSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { numericData } from './datasource.ts';
Chart.Inject(ColumnSeries);

let chart: Chart = new Chart({
    primaryYAxis: {
        // Custom label format
        labelFormat: '${value}K'
    },
    series:[{
        dataSource: numericData,
        xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
        type: 'Column'
    }],

}, '#element');
