Box and Whisker Chart in Vue Component

Box and whisker

To render a box and whisker 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 BoxAndWhisker in your chart configuration. This indicates that the data should be represented as a box and whisker chart, which will plot segments to illustrate the statistical distribution of the data.

  • Inject the BoxAndWhiskerSeries module: Use the provide: { chart: [BoxAndWhiskerSeries]} method to inject the BoxAndWhiskerSeries module into your chart. This step is essential, as it ensures that the necessary functionalities for rendering box and whisker series are available in your chart.

  • Data requirements: The y field of the Box and Whisker series requires a specific number of data points, with a minimum of five values needed to plot a segment.

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.

<template>
  <div id="app">

      </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>
  </div>
</template>
<script setup>

Series customization

The following properties can be used to customize the box and whisker series.

Fill

The fill property determines the color applied to the series.

</style>

The fill property can be used to apply a gradient color to the box and whisker 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.

Opacity

The opacity property specifies the transparency level of the fill. Adjusting this property allows you to control how opaque or transparent the fill color of the series appears.
