Axis customization in EJ2 TypeScript Stock chart control

8 May 202324 minutes to read

Axis Crossing

An axis can be positioned in the Stock Chart area using crossesAt and [crossesInAxis] (../api/stock-chart/stockChartAxisModel/#crossesinaxis) properties. The crossesAt property specifies the values (datetime, numeric, or logarithmic) at which the axis line has to be intersected with the vertical axis or vice-versa, and the crossesInAxis property specifies the axis name with which the axis line has to be crossed.

index.ts
index.html
import { StockChart } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { chartData } from './datasource.ts';
import { DateTime, AreaSeries, CandleSeries, HiloOpenCloseSeries, HiloSeries, LineSeries, SplineSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { AccumulationDistributionIndicator, AtrIndicator, BollingerBands, EmaIndicator, MomentumIndicator } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { MacdIndicator, RsiIndicator, Trendlines, SmaIndicator, StochasticIndicator, Export } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { TmaIndicator, RangeTooltip, Tooltip, Crosshair }
  from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
StockChart.Inject(DateTime, AreaSeries, CandleSeries, HiloOpenCloseSeries, HiloSeries, LineSeries, SplineSeries);
StockChart.Inject(AccumulationDistributionIndicator, AtrIndicator, BollingerBands, EmaIndicator, MomentumIndicator);
StockChart.Inject(MacdIndicator, RsiIndicator, SmaIndicator, StochasticIndicator);
StockChart.Inject(Trendlines, TmaIndicator, RangeTooltip, Tooltip, Crosshair, Export);

let stockChart: StockChart = new StockChart({
  primaryXAxis: {
    crossesAt: 90
  },
  series: [
    {
      dataSource: chartData,
      type: 'Candle'
    },
  ],

});
stockChart.appendTo('#element');

Title

You can add a title to the axis using title property to provide quick information to the user about the data plotted in the axis. Title style can be customized using titleStyle property of the axis.

index.ts
index.html
import { StockChart } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { chartData } from './datasource.ts';
import { DateTime, AreaSeries, CandleSeries, HiloOpenCloseSeries, HiloSeries, LineSeries, SplineSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';

StockChart.Inject(MacdIndicator, RsiIndicator, SmaIndicator, StochasticIndicator);
StockChart.Inject(Trendlines, TmaIndicator, RangeTooltip, Tooltip, Crosshair, Export);

let stockChart: StockChart = new StockChart({
  primaryXAxis: {

    title: 'AAPL Historical',
  },
  series: [
    {
      dataSource: chartData,
      type: 'Candle'
    },

Tick Lines Customization

You can customize the width, color and size of the minor and major tick lines, using majorTickLines and minorTickLines properties in the axis.

index.ts
index.html
import { StockChart } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { chartData } from './datasource.ts';
import { DateTime, AreaSeries, CandleSeries, HiloOpenCloseSeries, HiloSeries, LineSeries, SplineSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';

StockChart.Inject(Trendlines, TmaIndicator, RangeTooltip, Tooltip, Crosshair, Export);

let stockChart: StockChart = new StockChart({
  primaryXAxis: {

   //Tick lines customization
        majorTickLines : {
            color : 'blue',
            width : 5
        },
        minorTickLines : {
            color : 'red',
            width : 0
        }
  },
     primaryYAxis: {
    //Grid lines customization
        majorTickLines : {
            color : 'green',
            width : 5
        },
        minorTickLines : {
            color : 'red',
            width : 0
        },
     },
  series: [
    {

Grid Lines Customization

You can customize the width, color and dashArray of the minor and major grid lines, using majorGridLines and minorGridLines properties in the axis.

index.ts
index.html
import { StockChart } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { chartData } from './datasource.ts';
import { DateTime, AreaSeries, CandleSeries, HiloOpenCloseSeries, HiloSeries, LineSeries, SplineSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';

Multiple Axis

In addition to primary X and Y axis, we can add n number of axis to the Stock Chart. Series can be associated with this axis, by mapping with axis’s unique name.

index.ts
index.html
import { StockChart } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { chartData } from './datasource.ts';
import { DateTime, LineSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { AccumulationDistributionIndicator, AtrIndicator, BollingerBands, EmaIndicator, MomentumIndicator } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { MacdIndicator, RsiIndicator, Trendlines, SmaIndicator, StochasticIndicator, Export } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { TmaIndicator, RangeTooltip, Tooltip, Crosshair}
  from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
StockChart.Inject(DateTime, LineSeries);
StockChart.Inject(AccumulationDistributionIndicator, AtrIndicator, BollingerBands, EmaIndicator, MomentumIndicator);
StockChart.Inject(MacdIndicator, RsiIndicator, SmaIndicator, StochasticIndicator);
StockChart.Inject(Trendlines, TmaIndicator, RangeTooltip, Tooltip, Crosshair, Export);

 let stockChart: StockChart = new StockChart({
        series: [
            {
                dataSource: chartData, type: 'Line', xName: 'date' yName: 'high'
            },
            {
                dataSource: chartData, type: 'Line', xName: 'date' yName: 'low'
                 yAxisName: 'yAxis',
            }
        ],
         // Initializing multiple axis
       axes:[
        {
            rowIndex: 0,
            name: 'yAxis',
        }
       ],
        crosshair: {
            enable: true
        },
        title: 'Multiple Axis',

    });

stockChart.appendTo('#element');

Inversed Axis

When an axis is inversed, highest value of the axis comes closer to origin and vice versa. To place an axis in inversed manner set this property
isInversed to true.

index.ts
index.html
import { StockChart } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { chartData } from './datasource.ts';
import { DateTime, AreaSeries, CandleSeries, HiloOpenCloseSeries, HiloSeries, LineSeries, SplineSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { AccumulationDistributionIndicator, AtrIndicator, BollingerBands, EmaIndicator, MomentumIndicator } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { MacdIndicator, RsiIndicator, Trendlines, SmaIndicator, StochasticIndicator, Export } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { TmaIndicator, RangeTooltip, Tooltip, Crosshair, ITooltipRenderEventArgs }
  from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
StockChart.Inject(DateTime, AreaSeries, CandleSeries, HiloOpenCloseSeries, HiloSeries, LineSeries, SplineSeries);
StockChart.Inject(AccumulationDistributionIndicator, AtrIndicator, BollingerBands, EmaIndicator, MomentumIndicator);
StockChart.Inject(MacdIndicator, RsiIndicator, SmaIndicator, StochasticIndicator);
StockChart.Inject(Trendlines, TmaIndicator, RangeTooltip, Tooltip, Crosshair, Export);

let stockChart: StockChart = new StockChart({
        //Initializing Primary X Axis
        primaryXAxis: {
             isInversed: true
        },

        //Initializing Primary Y Axis
        primaryYAxis:
        {
             isInversed: true
        },
  series: [
    {
      dataSource: chartData,
      type: 'Candle'
    },
  ],

});
stockChart.appendTo('#element');

Opposed Position

To place an axis opposite from its original position, set opposedPosition property of the axis to true.

index.ts
index.html
import { StockChart } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { chartData } from './datasource.ts';
import { DateTime, AreaSeries, CandleSeries, HiloOpenCloseSeries, HiloSeries, LineSeries, SplineSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { AccumulationDistributionIndicator, AtrIndicator, BollingerBands, EmaIndicator, MomentumIndicator } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { MacdIndicator, RsiIndicator, Trendlines, SmaIndicator, StochasticIndicator, Export } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { TmaIndicator, RangeTooltip, Tooltip, Crosshair, ITooltipRenderEventArgs }
  from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
StockChart.Inject(DateTime, AreaSeries, CandleSeries, HiloOpenCloseSeries, HiloSeries, LineSeries, SplineSeries);
StockChart.Inject(AccumulationDistributionIndicator, AtrIndicator, BollingerBands, EmaIndicator, MomentumIndicator);
StockChart.Inject(MacdIndicator, RsiIndicator, SmaIndicator, StochasticIndicator);
StockChart.Inject(Trendlines, TmaIndicator, RangeTooltip, Tooltip, Crosshair, Export);

let stockChart: StockChart = new StockChart({

  primaryXAxis:
  {
    opposedPosition: true
  },
  series: [
    {
      dataSource: chartData,
      type: 'Candle'
    },
