TChart.js

Simple, lightweight (10kb) and configurable Bar and Line Chart library in Javascript.

Forked from: TChart.js by M.Talha Khalid
Modified to work with IE11.

This is work in progress (see roadmap). If you're looking for a lightweight, super fast, production ready library for timeseries data check out uPlot.

Description

TChart.js is a canvas based, super lightweight, easy to use Javascript Bar and Line Chart Library to provide a configurable and dependency-free experience.

Installation

Download the TChart.min.js and include it in your project

<script src="TChart.js"></script>

Usage

To create a Bar or Line chart, you'll need a block level container e.g 'div'.

<div id="chart">
  This will be our chart!
</div>

Then you can create the TChart object in your Javascipt file.

Minimum required options:

var chart = new TChart({
	targetId: "myChart",
	data: [10, 10, 15, 5, 10, 10]
});

All currently available options:

var chart = new TChart({
	targetId: "lineChart2",
	data: data,
	color: "#f00",
	width: 320,
	height: 240,
	drawGuidelines: false,
	drawLabels: false,
	drawAxisX: false,
	drawAxisY: false,	
	maxValue: 220,
	minValue: 0
});

Options

• targetId - containerId (String) Defines the id of container like "chart"

• width (Integer) Defines the width of chart like 600

• height (Integer) Defines the Height of chart like 450

• data (Objects Array or Number Array) Defines the data objects. Use simple array of numbers (y-values) or objects with the key-value pairs 'label' and 'value' . Example object data:

var data = [
    { label: "Jan", value: 24 },
    { label: "Feb", value: 124 },
    { label: "March", value: 65 },
    { label: "April", value: 98 },
    { label: "May", value: 65 },
    { label: "June", value: 129 },
    { label: "July", value: 198 },
    { label: "Aug", value: 256 },
    { label: "Sep", value: 77 }
];

TODO: Document all options

Drawing Chart

After Creating TChart object call methods for creating Line or Bar Chart.

For Bar Chart:

chart.drawBarChart()

For Line Chart:

chart.drawLineChart()

To-Do/Roadmap

• Properly support negative values (O_O)
• Draw new data in existing chart (for fast updates)
• Add more options
• Optimize class structure (add prototypes etc.)
• tbd
