Selection in Vue Chart component

Chart provides selection support for the series and its data points on mouse click.

When Mouse is clicked on the data points, the corresponding series legend will also be selected.

We have different type of selection mode for selecting the data. They are,

  • None
  • Point
  • Series
  • Cluster
  • DragXY
  • DragX
  • DragY

Point

You can select a point, by setting selectionMode to point.

Rectangular selection

DragXY, DragX and DragY

To fetch the collection of data under a particular region, you have to set selectionMode as DragXY.

  • DragXY - Allows us to select data with respect to horizontal and vertical axis.
  • DragX - Allows us to select data with respect to horizontal axis.
  • DragY - Allows us to select data with respect to vertical axis.

The selected data’s are returned as an array collection in the dragComplete event.
