# FlexChart Analytics

This page shows how to use function series and trend lines in Wijmo's FlexChart control. These features are included in wijmo.chart.analytics module.

## Getting Started

Steps for getting started with the FlexChart Analytics in JavaScript applications:

1. Add references to Wijmo.
2. Add markup to serve as the FlexChart's host.
3. Initialize the FlexChart via JavaScript and its itemSource property.
4. Create one or more data series, and add each to the FlexChart's series collection (Optional).
5. Create one or more trend line or function series, and add each to the FlexChart's series collection.
6. Add some CSS to customize the chart's appearance (Optional).

## TrendLine

You can use different trendline types by setting the fitType property of TrendLine.

The example below allows you to see what happens when you change this property:

<div id="trendLineChart"></div> <select id="fitTypeMenu"> <option value="0" selected="selected">Linear</option> <option value="1">Exponential</option> <option value="2">Logarithmic</option> <option value="3">Power</option> <option value="4">Fourier</option> <option value="5">Polynomial</option> <option value="6">MinX</option> <option value="7">MinY</option> <option value="8">MaxX</option> <option value="9">MaxY</option> <option value="10">AverageX</option> <option value="11">AverageY</option> </select>
// create FlexChart and Menus var trendLineChart = new wijmo.chart.FlexChart('#trendLineChart'), fitTypeMenu = new wijmo.input.Menu('#fitTypeMenu'), trendLine; // initialize FlexChart's properties trendLineChart.initialize({ itemsSource: appData, bindingX: 'x', series: [{ name: 'Origin', binding: 'y', chartType: wijmo.chart.ChartType.Scatter }] }); //create TrendLine trendLine = new wijmo.chart.analytics.TrendLine(); trendLine.name = 'Trend Line'; trendLine.binding = 'y'; trendLine.sampleCount = 100; trendLineChart.series.push(trendLine); // update the menus' headers updateMenuHeader(); fitTypeMenu.selectedIndexChanged.addHandler(function () { if (fitTypeMenu.selectedValue) { // update TrendLine's fitType trendLine.fitType = parseInt(fitTypeMenu.selectedValue); // update menu header updateMenuHeader(); } }); // helper function for Menu headers function updateMenuHeader() { fitTypeMenu.header = '<b>Fit Type</b>: ' + fitTypeMenu.text; }

## MovingAverage

You can use different moving average types by setting the type property of MovingAverage.

The MovingAverage class has a period property that allows you to set the number of periods for computing the average value.

The example below allows you to see what happens when you change these properties:

<div id="movingAverageChart"></div> <select id="typeMenu"> <option value="0" selected="selected">Simple</option> <option value="1">Weighted</option> <option value="2">Exponential</option> <option value="3">Triangular</option> </select> <b>Period:</b> <input id="periodInput" type="text" />
// create FlexChart and Menus var movingAverageChart = new wijmo.chart.FlexChart('#movingAverageChart'), typeMenu = new wijmo.input.Menu('#typeMenu'), periodInput = new wijmo.input.InputNumber('#periodInput'), movingAverage; //set inputnumber periodInput.value = 2; periodInput.min = 2; periodInput.max = 29; periodInput.step = 1; periodInput.format = "n0"; // initialize FlexChart's properties movingAverageChart.initialize({ itemsSource: getData(40), bindingX: 'x', series: [{ name: 'Origin', binding: 'y', chartType: wijmo.chart.ChartType.Scatter }] }); //create MovingAverage movingAverage = new wijmo.chart.analytics.MovingAverage(); movingAverage.name = 'MA'; movingAverage.binding = 'y'; movingAverage.sampleCount = 100; movingAverageChart.series.push(movingAverage); // update the menus' headers updateMenuHeader(); typeMenu.selectedIndexChanged.addHandler(function () { if (typeMenu.selectedValue) { // update MovingAverage's type movingAverage.type = parseInt(typeMenu.selectedValue); // update menu header updateMenuHeader(); } }); periodInput.valueChanged.addHandler(function () { // update MovingAverage's period movingAverage.period = periodInput.value; }); // helper function for Menu headers function updateMenuHeader() { typeMenu.header = '<b>Type</b>: ' + typeMenu.text; }

## YFunctionSeries

This view shows Y Function Series in FlexChart. The YFunctionSeries allows to plot a function that is defined with formula y=y(x). Use the func property to specify the function.

<div id="yFuncSeriesChart"></div>
// create yFuncSeriesChart var yFuncSeriesChart = new wijmo.chart.FlexChart('#yFuncSeriesChart'); //create YFunctionSeries var yFuncSeries = new wijmo.chart.analytics.YFunctionSeries(); yFuncSeries.name = 'YFuncSeries'; yFuncSeries.min = -10; yFuncSeries.max = 10; yFuncSeries.sampleCount = 300; yFuncSeries.func = function (value) { return Math.sin(4 * value) * Math.cos(3 * value); }; yFuncSeriesChart.series.push(yFuncSeries);

#### Result (live):

## ParametricFunctionSeries

The ParametricFunctionSeries allows to plot a function that is defined parametrically with formulas x = x(t) and y = y(t). Use the xFunc and yFunc properties to specify the functions for x and y coordinates.

<div id="paramFuncSeriesChart"></div>
//create paramFuncSeriesChart var paramFuncSeriesChart = new wijmo.chart.FlexChart('#paramFuncSeriesChart'), xParam = 5, yParam = 7; //create ParametricFunctionSeries var paramFuncSeries = new wijmo.chart.analytics.ParametricFunctionSeries(); paramFuncSeries.name = 'ParamFunc'; paramFuncSeries.max = 2 * Math.PI; paramFuncSeries.sampleCount = 1000; paramFuncSeries.xFunc = function (value) { return Math.cos(value * xParam); }; paramFuncSeries.yFunc = function (value) { return Math.sin(value * yParam); }; paramFuncSeriesChart.series.push(paramFuncSeries);

## Waterfall

The Waterfall series is normally used to demonstrate how the starting position either increases or decreases through a series of changes.

<div id="waterfallChart"></div> <div class="form-horizontal"> <div class="form-group"> <div class="col-md-offset-3 col-md-9"> <div class="checkbox"> <label> <input id="relativeData" type="checkbox"> Is RelativeData? </label> </div> </div> </div> <div class="form-group"> <div class="col-md-offset-3 col-md-9"> <div class="checkbox"> <label> <input id="connectorLines" type="checkbox"> Show Connector Lines? </label> </div> </div> </div> <div class="form-group"> <div class="col-md-offset-3 col-md-9"> <div class="checkbox"> <label> <input id="showTotal" type="checkbox"> Show Total? </label> </div> </div> </div> <div class="form-group"> <div class="col-md-offset-3 col-md-9"> <div class="checkbox"> <label> <input id="showIntermediateTotal" type="checkbox"> Show Intermediate Total? </label> </div> </div> </div> </div>
//create chart var waterfallChart = new wijmo.chart.FlexChart('#waterfallChart'), relativeData = document.getElementById('relativeData'), connectorLines = document.getElementById('connectorLines'), showTotal = document.getElementById('showTotal'), showIntermediateTotal = document.getElementById('showIntermediateTotal'); // populate itemsSource var names = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'], data = []; for (var i = 0, len = names.length; i < len; i++) { data.push({ name: names[i], value: Math.round((0.5 - Math.random()) * 1000) }); } waterfallChart.itemsSource = data; waterfallChart.binding = 'value'; waterfallChart.bindingX = 'name'; //create Waterfall series var waterfall = new wijmo.chart.analytics.Waterfall(); waterfall.relativeData = false; waterfall.connectorLines = false; waterfall.showTotal = false; waterfall.start = 1000; waterfall.showIntermediateTotal = false; waterfall.intermediateTotalPositions = [3, 6, 9, 12]; waterfall.intermediateTotalLabels = ['Q1', 'Q2', 'Q3', 'Q4']; waterfall.name = 'Increase,Decrease,Total'; waterfall.styles = { connectorLines: { stroke: '#333', 'stroke-dasharray': '5 5' }, start: { fill: '#7dc7ed' }, falling: { fill: '#dd2714', stroke: '#a52714' }, rising: { fill: '#0f9d58', stroke: '#0f9d58' }, intermediateTotal: { fill: '#7dc7ed' }, total: { fill: '#7dc7ed' } }; waterfallChart.series.push(waterfall); waterfallChart.tooltip.content = function (ht) { if (ht) { return '<b>' + ht.x + '</b><br/>value: ' + ht.y; } } // relativeData - initialize checkbox properties relativeData.addEventListener('change', function () { waterfall.relativeData = this.checked; }); // connectorLines - initialize checkbox properties connectorLines.addEventListener('change', function () { waterfall.connectorLines = this.checked; }); // showTotal - initialize checkbox properties showTotal.addEventListener('change', function () { waterfall.showTotal = this.checked; }); // showIntermediateTotal - initialize checkbox properties showIntermediateTotal.addEventListener('change', function () { waterfall.showIntermediateTotal = this.checked; });
