JS Canvas

HTML Canvas is ideal for creating scatter plots.

HTML Canvas is ideal for creating line graphs.

HTML Canvas is perfect for combining scatter plots and line graphs.

Scatter Plots

Source Code

const xArray = [50,60,70,80,90,100,110,120,130,140,150];
const yArray = [7,8,8,9,9,9,10,11,14,14,15];

// Plot Scatter
ctx.fillStyle = “red”;
for (let i = 0; i < xArray.length–1; i++) {
  let x = xArray[i]*400/150;
  let y = yArray[i]*400/15;
  ctx.beginPath();
  ctx.ellipse(x, y, 2, 3, 0, 0, Math.PI * 2);
  ctx.fill();
}

Line Graphs

Source Code

let xMax = canvas.height;
let slope = 1.2;
let intercept = 70;

// Plot Scatter
ctx.moveTo(0, intercept);
ctx.lineTo(xMax, f(xMax));
ctx.strokeStyle = “black”;
ctx.stroke();

// Line Function
function f(x) {
return x * slope + intercept;
}

Combined

Source Code

let xMax = canvas.height;
let yMax = canvas.width;
let slope = 1.2;
let intercept = 70;

const xArray = [50,60,70,80,90,100,110,120,130,140,150];
const yArray = [7,8,8,9,9,9,10,11,14,14,15];

// Plot Scatter
ctx.fillStyle = “red”;
for (let i = 0; i < xArray.length–1; i++) {
  let x = xArray[i]*400/150;
  let y = yArray[i]*400/15;
  ctx.beginPath();
  ctx.ellipse(x, y, 2, 3, 0, 0, Math.PI * 2);
  ctx.fill();
}

// Plot Line
ctx.moveTo(0, intercept);
ctx.lineTo(xMax, f(xMax));
ctx.strokeStyle = “black”;
ctx.stroke();

// Line Function
function f(x) {
  return x * slope + intercept;
}
