The following code can be modified and put in "Custom Header" for displaying the labels outside of the pie chart.
<script> $(function(){ $.jqplot.preParseOptionsHooks.push(function(args){ args.seriesDefaults.rendererOptions.dataLabelPositionFactor = 1.05; }); }); </script> |
The charts are plotted using jqPlot. Head over to their website here to see the full list of available hooks for customization. |
The following code can be modified and put in "Custom Header" property, to hide gridlines from the chart plot.
<script> $(function(){ $.jqplot.preParseOptionsHooks.push(function(args){ args.axesDefaults.drawMajorGridlines = false; }); }); </script> |
The following code can be modified and put in "Custom Footer" for interactive Charts.
<script> $(document).ready(function(){ $('#jq_plot_chart').bind('jqplotDataClick', function (event, seriesIndex, pointIndex, data) { console.log(event); console.log(seriesIndex); console.log(pointIndex); console.log(data); //for chart which used legend and x-axis, var xaxis = $(".jqplot-xaxis-tick:eq("+pointIndex+")"); var series = $(".jqplot-table-legend-label:eq("+seriesIndex+")"); console.log("x-axis :" + xaxis.text()); console.log("series :" + series.text()); } ); //for double click event. Please note the arguments are different. $('#jq_plot_chart').bind('jqplotDblClick', function (event, coordinate, points, data) { console.log(event); console.log(coordinate); console.log(points); console.log(data); if (data) { var xaxis = $(".jqplot-xaxis-tick:eq("+data.pointIndex+")"); var series = $(".jqplot-table-legend-label:eq("+data.seriesIndex+")"); console.log("values :" + data.data); console.log("x-axis :" + xaxis.text()); console.log("series :" + series.text()); } } ); }); </script> |
This code does not work with OHLC and candlestick charts. |
