Error Bar
Error bars are graphical representations of the variability of data and used on graphs to indicate the error or uncertainty in a reported measurement. To render the error bar for the series, set visible as true and inject ErrorBar module using Chart.Inject(ErrorBar) method.
var chartData = [
{ x: 2006, y: 7.8 }, { x: 2007, y: 7.2 },
{ x: 2008, y: 6.8 }, { x: 2009, y: 10.7 },
{ x: 2010, y: 10.8 }, { x: 2011, y: 9.8 }
];
var chart = new ej.charts.Chart({
primaryXAxis: {
minimum: 2005, maximum: 2012, interval: 1,
title: 'Year'
},
primaryYAxis: {
minimum: 3, maximum: 12,
interval: 1, title: 'Percentage',
labelFormat: '{value}%'
},
series: [{
dataSource: chartData,
xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
errorBar: {
visible: true,
}, marker: {
visible: true,
}, animation: { enable: false },
name: 'India',
type: 'Line'
}],
title: 'Unemployment rate (%)',
}, '#element');<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head>
