Column

To render a column 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 as Column in your chart configuration. This indicates that the data should be represented as a column chart, which is ideal for visualizing for comparing different categories of data or tracking changes over time.

index.js
index.html
var columnData = [
    { country: "USA", gold: 50 },
    { country: "China", gold: 40 },
    { country: "Japan", gold: 70 },
    { country: "Australia", gold: 60 },
    { country: "France", gold: 50 },
    { country: "Germany", gold: 40 },
    { country: "Italy", gold: 40 },
    { country: "Sweden", gold: 30 }
];
var chart = new ej.charts.Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Category',
        title: 'Countries'
    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        minimum: 0,
        maximum: 80,
        interval: 20,
        title: 'Medals'
    },
    series: [{
        dataSource: columnData,
        xName: 'country', yName: 'gold',
        // Series type as column series
        type: 'Column'
    }],
    title: 'Olympic Medals'
}, '#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.

index.js
index.html
var columnData = [
    { country: "USA", gold: 50 },
    { country: "China", gold: 40 },
    { country: "Japan", gold: 70 },
    { country: "Australia", gold: 60 },
    { country: "France", gold: 50 },
    { country: "Germany", gold: 40 },
    { country: "Italy", gold: 40 },
    { country: "Sweden", gold: 30 }
];
var chart = new ej.charts.Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Category',
        title: 'Countries'
    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        minimum: 0,
        maximum: 80,
        interval: 20,
        title: 'Medals'
    },
    series: [{
        dataSource: columnData,
        xName: 'country', yName: 'gold',
        // Series type as column series
        type: 'Column'
    }],
    title: 'Olympic Medals'
}, '#element');

Series customization

The following properties can be used to customize the column series.

Fill

The fill property determines the color applied to the series.

index.js
index.html
var columnData = [
    { country: "USA", gold: 50 },
    { country: "China", gold: 40 },
    { country: "Japan", gold: 70 },
    { country: "Australia", gold: 60 },
    { country: "France", gold: 50 },
    { country: "Germany", gold: 40 },
    { country: "Italy", gold: 40 },
    { country: "Sweden", gold: 30 }
];
var chart = new ej.charts.Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Category',
        title: 'Countries'
    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        minimum: 0,
        maximum: 80,
        interval: 20,
        title: 'Medals'
    },
    series: [{
        dataSource: columnData,
        xName: 'country', yName: 'gold',
        // Series type as column series
        type: 'Column', fill: 'blue'
    }],
    title: 'Olympic Medals'
}, '#element');

The fill property can be used to apply a gradient color to the column 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.

index.js
index.html
var columnData = [
    { country: "USA", gold: 50 },
    { country: "China", gold: 40 },
    { country: "Japan", gold: 70 },
    { country: "Australia", gold: 60 },
    { country: "France", gold: 50 },
    { country: "Germany", gold: 40 },
    { country: "Italy", gold: 40 },
    { country: "Sweden", gold: 30 }
];
var chart = new ej.charts.Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Category',
        title: 'Countries'
    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        minimum: 0,
        maximum: 80,
        interval: 20,
        title: 'Medals'
    },
    series: [{
        dataSource: columnData,
        xName: 'country', yName: 'gold',
        // Series type as column series
        type: 'Column', fill: 'url(#gradient)'
    }],
    title: 'Olympic Medals'
}, '#element');

    series: [{
        dataSource: columnData,
        xName: 'country', yName: 'gold',
        // Series type as column series

index.js
index.html
var columnData = [
    { country: 'USA', gold: 50, silver: 40 },
    { country: 'China', gold: 40, silver: 35 },

Column width in pixel

Use the columnWidthInPixel property in the series to define the exact width of the columns in pixels. This property ensures that each column maintains the specified width, providing a uniform appearance throughout the chart.

index.js
index.html
var columnData = [
    { country: 'USA', gold: 50, silver: 40 },
    { country: 'China', gold: 40, silver: 35 },
    { country: 'Japan', gold: 70, silver: 65 },
    { country: 'Australia', gold: 60, silver: 50 },
    { country: 'France', gold: 50, silver: 55 },
    { country: 'Germany', gold: 40, silver: 20 },
    { country: 'Italy', gold: 40, silver: 30 },
    { country: 'Sweden', gold: 30, silver: 40 }
];
var chart = new ej.charts.Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Category',
        title: 'Countries'
    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        minimum: 0, 
        maximum: 80,
        interval: 20, 
        title: 'Medals'
    },
    series:[{
        dataSource: columnData,
        xName: 'country', yName: 'gold',
        // Series type as column series
        type: 'Column', name: 'Gold'
    },
    {
        dataSource: columnData,
        xName: 'country',
        yName: 'silver',
        name: 'Silver',
        columnWidthInPixel: 10,
        // Series type as column series
        type: 'Column'
      }],
      title: 'Olympic Medals'
}, '#element');

Grouped column

Use the groupName property to group the data points in column type charts. Data points with the same group name will be grouped together in the chart, making it easy to compare different sets of data.

index.js
index.html
var data1 = [
    { x: '2012', y: 104 },
    { x: '2016', y: 121 },
    { x: '2020', y: 113 }
];

var data2 = [
    { x: '2012', y: 46 },
    { x: '2016', y: 46 },
    { x: '2020', y: 39 }
];

var data3 = [
    { x: '2012', y: 65 },
    { x: '2016', y: 67 },
    { x: '2020', y: 65 }
];

var data4 = [
    { x: '2012', y: 29 },
    { x: '2016', y: 27 },

Cylindrical column chart

To render a cylindrical column chart, set the columnFacet property to Cylinder in the chart series. This property transforms the regular columns into cylindrical shapes, enhancing the visual representation of the data.

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.

Corner radius

The cornerRadius property in the chart series is used to customize the corner radius for bar series. This allows you to create bars with rounded corners, giving your chart a more polished appearance. You can customize each corner of the bars using the topLeft, topRight, bottomLeft, and bottomRight properties.
