igDataChart legend set element option without id

Hugo Pascaner posted over 3 years ago

Hi,

I'm using the igDataChart and I want to show the legends of a particular series. The only way I found to do this is to create a custom <div> in wich legend are going to be shown, assign an id and then set the id in the element option of the legend.

To start with, I'm not even sure why I need to create the div element as it perfectly could be created by the igDataChart control itself. Besides, I don't want to have an id in that div as I will be showing multiple charts on the same page and having ids could lead to an id duplication. How can I do to set the element option in some other way (i.e. custom selector, jQuery object or DOM Element)?

Thanks,

Hello Hugo,

Thank you for contacting Infragistics Support!

After doing some research, I found that when the legend property of the igDataChart is set (legend: { element: “elementID” }) it internally tries to find a DOM element with id = “elemendID”. As soon as such element has been found an html table would be rendered within it. Each row of this table will represent a particular series of the chart.

Having this in mind you can consider this element (which could be actually not only <div> but any other selector as well (span, p etc.)) as a hook which will indicate the igDataChart where to render its legend.

Having this in mind I can verify that currently the only way of using the build-in legend functionality is via providing the id of some DOM element to the igDataChart. In case your requirements is to pass not an id but an HTML element or something else I can suggest submitting a new product idea. You can suggest new product ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) here.

Hi Martin, thanks for the reply.

I've just suggested the product idea although at this point of maturity of the product I think this kind of things are closer to an issue rather than just a suggestion.

Anyways, I'd also very much appreciate your help with another thing related to chart's legend. I have a stacked-bar chart like so:

The legend I want to show is regarding each fragment on the bars (i.e., each color). But I want to show not only the fragment name but also a value for that fragment in the whole graph. I cannot seem to find how can I customize the legend's content. How can I do this?

Thanks

Hi Martin.

Unfortunately, that didn't work as expected. Here it is its result:

It wouldn't be easy for me to share the data and source code because it's being generated in a way more complex scenario. If you really need it I can try and create a simplified example although I believe the issue is isolated enough.

Please let me know how we should continue.

Thanks,

Yes, please provides us with a simplified example to isolate this issue and we will try to create a solution for it.

Martin,

I'm pretty sure there is no need for this as the issue with the tooltip seems pretty clear by itself. However I have created this simplified version of my code.

<div class="chart" id="chart"></div>
<div class="chart-legend chart-legend-horizontal" id="chartLegend"></div>
<script type="text/x-jquery-tmpl" id="template">
    <div>${series.valueMemberPath}: ${item.${series.valueMemberPath}}</div>
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">

	function linqSelect(arr, fnSelect) {
        var newArr = [];
        for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
            newArr.push(fnSelect(arr[i]));
        }
        return newArr;
    };

    let dataSource = [{"DiaSemana":"Martes","ENF4":0,"ENFE":5,"ADAVI":1,"CAP":4},{"DiaSemana":"Lunes","ENF4":0,"ENFE":7,"ADAVI":1,"CAP":8},{"DiaSemana":"Domingo","ENF4":0,"ENFE":7,"ADAVI":1,"CAP":8},{"DiaSemana":"Sábado","ENF4":0,"ENFE":5,"ADAVI":1,"CAP":7},{"DiaSemana":"Viernes","ENF4":0,"ENFE":2,"ADAVI":1,"CAP":1},{"DiaSemana":"Jueves","ENF4":0,"ENFE":7,"ADAVI":1,"CAP":6},{"DiaSemana":"Miércoles","ENF4":0,"ENFE":3,"ADAVI":1,"CAP":4}];

    let xAxis = { name: "xAxis", type: "numericX" },
        yAxis = { name: "yAxis", type: "categoryY", label: "DiaSemana", gap: 0.5, },
        ausencias = [],
        totales = {};

        for (i = 0; i < dataSource.length; i++) {
            for (var key in dataSource[i]) {
                if (key == "DiaSemana")
                    continue;
                if (i == 0) {
                    ausencias.push(key);
                    totales[key] = 0;
                }
                totales[key] += dataSource[i][key];
            }
        }

        $("#chart").igDataChart({
            dataSource: dataSource,
            height: 300,
            width: "100%",
            title: "Chart Title",
            axes: [xAxis, yAxis],
            legend: { element: "chartLegend" },
            series: [
                {
                    name: "series",

                    xAxis: xAxis.name,

                    series: linqSelect(ausencias, function (a) {
                        return {
                            name: a + "Fragment",
                            valueMemberPath: a,
                            type: "stackedFragment",
                            showTooltip: true,
                            tooltipTemplate: "template",
                            legendItemVisibility: "visible",
                            title: a + " " + totales[a]
                        };
                    })
                }
            ]
        });

I modified tooltip template in my sample and I added tooltipShowing function on the DataChart to store value of an item for a given series.valueMemberPath as item.tooltipValue property:

Hi Martin.

Thanks for the reply, it worked!

That'd be all, at least with this post. I've posted another question related to igDataChart 22 days ago and there's been no answer. Here it is the link: (+) igDataChart stackedBar animation | Infragistics Forums.

Thanks!
