Trend lines in EJ2 TypeScript Chart control
8 May 202324 minutes to read
Trendlines are used to show the direction and speed of price.
Trendlines can be generated for Cartesian type series (Line, Column, Scatter, Area, Candle, Hilo etc.) except bar type series. You can add more than one trendline to a series.
Chart supports 6 types of trendlines.
Linear
A linear trendline is a best fit straight line that is used with simpler data sets. To render a linear trendline, use trendline type
as Linear
and inject Trendlines
module using Chart.Inject(Trendlines)
.
import { Chart, Category, Trendlines, ScatterSeries, SplineSeries, Tooltip, LineSeries, TrendlineTypes} from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
Chart.Inject(Chart, ScatterSeries, SplineSeries, LineSeries, Tooltip, Trendlines Category);
let data: Object[] = [];
let yValue: number[] = [7.66, 8.03, 8.41, 8.97, 8.77, 8.20, 8.16, 7.89, 8.68, 9.48, 10.11, 11.36, 12.34, 12.60, 12.95, 13.91, 16.21, 17.50, 22.72, 28.14, 31.26, 31.39, 32.43, 35.52, 36.36,
41.33, 43.12, 45.00, 47.23, 48.62, 46.60, 45.28, 44.01, 45.17, 41.20, 43.41, 48.32, 45.65, 46.61, 53.34, 58.53];
let point: Object;
let i: number; let j: number = 0;
for (i = 1973; i <= 2013; i++) {
point = { x: i, y: yValue[j] };
data.push(point);
j++;
}
let chart: Chart = new Chart({
primaryXAxis: {
title: 'Months',
},
primaryYAxis: {
title: 'Rupees against Dollars',
interval: 5
},
tooltip:{enable:true},
chartArea: { border: { width: 0 } },
series: [{
dataSource: data,
xName: 'x', yName: 'y',

Exponential
An exponential trendline is a curved line that is most useful when data values rise or fall at increasingly higher rates. You cannot create an exponential trendline, if your data contains zero or negative values.
To render a exponential trendline, use trendline type
as Exponential
and inject Trendlines
module using Chart.Inject(Trendlines)
.
import { Chart, ScatterSeries,Trendlines, SplineSeries, Category, LineSeries, Tooltip, Crosshair, Legend, DateTime } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
Chart.Inject(ScatterSeries, LineSeries, SplineSeries, Category, Tooltip, Crosshair, Trendlines, Legend, DateTime);

let point: Object;
let i: number; let j: number = 0;
for (i = 1973; i <= 2013; i++) {
point = { x: i, y: yValue[j] };
data.push(point);
j++;

Logarithmic
A logarithmic trendline is a best-fit curved line that is most useful when the rate of change in the data increases or decreases quickly and then levels out. A logarithmic trendline can use negative and/or positive values.
To render a logarithmic trendline, use trendline type
as Logarithmic
and inject Trendlines
module using Chart.Inject(Trendlines)

Forecasting
Trendline forecasting is the prediction of future/past situations.
Forward Forecasting and Backward Forecasting are the two types of forecasting.
Forward Forecasting
The value set for forwardForecast is used to determine the distance moving towards the future trend.
