The Google Chart gallery offers a wide range of ready-to-use chart types, from basic line charts to complex hierarchical tree maps, including:
1. Insert a <div> element (with a unique id) in the HTML at the location where you want the chart to appear.
<div id=”myChart” style=”max-width:700px; height:400px”></div> |
2. Include a link to the chart loader.
<script src=”https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js”></script> |
3. Load the Graph API and define the function to execute once the API has finished loading.
<script> google.charts.load(‘current’,{packages:[‘corechart’]}); google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart); // Your Function |
function drawChart() { // Set Data const data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([ [‘Contry’, ‘Mhl’], [‘Italy’, 55], [‘France’, 49], [‘Spain’, 44], [‘USA’, 24], [‘Argentina’, 15] ]); // Set Options const options = { title: ‘World Wide Wine Production’ }; // Draw const chart = new google.visualization.BarChart(document.getElementById(‘myChart’)); chart.draw(data, options); } |
To change a Bar Chart to a Pie Chart, simply replace:
google.visualization.BarChart
with:
google.visualization.PieChart
const chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById(‘myChart’)); |
To display the Pie chart in 3D, simply add is3D: true to the options.
const options = { title: ‘World Wide Wine Production’, is3D: true }; |
function drawChart() { // Set Data const data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([ [‘Price’, ‘Size’], [50,7],[60,8],[70,8],[80,9],[90,9],[100,9], [110,10],[120,11],[130,14],[140,14],[150,15] ]); // Set Options const options = { title: ‘House Prices vs Size’, hAxis: {title: ‘Square Meters’}, vAxis: {title: ‘Price in Millions’}, legend: ‘none’ }; // Draw Chart const chart = new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById(‘myChart’)); chart.draw(data, options); } |
To display the same data as a scatter plot, change google.visualization to ScatterChart.
const chart = new google.visualization.ScatterChart(document.getElementById(‘myChart’)); |
