Overview

Generates a Line chart. An option can be passed that allows you to create a Line XY Chart

Examples

# Line Chart
lc = GoogleChart::LineChart.new('320x200', "Line Chart", false)
lc.data "Trend 1", [5,4,3,1,3,5,6], '0000ff'
lc.data "Trend 2", [1,2,3,4,5,6], '00ff00'
lc.data "Trend 3", [6,5,4,3,2,1], 'ff0000'
lc.axis :y, :range => [0,6], :color => 'ff00ff', :font_size => 16, :alignment => :center
lc.axis :x, :range => [0,6], :color => '00ffff', :font_size => 16, :alignment => :center

# Line XY Chart
lcxy =  GoogleChart::LineChart.new('320x200', "Line XY Chart", true)
lcxy.data "Trend 1", [[1,1], [2,2], [3,3], [4,4]], '0000ff'
lcxy.data "Trend 2", [[4,5], [2,2], [1,1], [3,4]], '00ff00'
puts lcxy.to_url

Constructor Details

#initialize(chart_size = '300x200', chart_title = nil, is_xy = false) {|_self| ... } ⇒ LineChart

Specify the

  • chart_size in WIDTHxHEIGHT format

  • chart_title as a string

  • is_xy is false by default. Set it to true if you want to plot a Line XY chart

Yields:

  • (_self)

Instance Method Details

#line_style(data_set_index, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Defines a line style. Applicable for line charts.

data_set_index

Can be one of :background or :chart depending on the kind of fill requested

options

: Options for the style, specifying things like line thickness and lengths of the line segment and blank portions

Options

  • :line_thickness (mandatory) option which specifies the thickness of the line segment in pixels

  • :length_segment, which specifies the length of the line segment

  • :length_blank, which specifies the lenght of the blank segment
