POUsing different symbols for plotting data not working
text
Body
copied!<p>I am attempting to use a different symbol for one of my data series on my flot graph as it is at a much larger scale then the rest of the data. I am using this example as reference: <a href="http://www.flotcharts.org/flot/examples/symbols/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.flotcharts.org/flot/examples/symbols/index.html</a></p> <p>Here is what I have so far:</p> <p>My includes:</p> <pre><code><script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.flot.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.flot.symbol.js"></script> </code></pre> <p>I then configure my flot options like so:</p> <pre><code>var options = { grid: {hoverable : true}, xaxis: { mode: "time", timeformat: "%H:%M", tickLength: 1}, series: { points : { show: true } } }; </code></pre> <p>I then actually plot the data:</p> <pre><code> $.plot('#placeholder', [{ data: my_data, lines: { show : true}, points: { symbol: "square"}, color: '#CB4B4B', label: 'My Data' }], options); } </code></pre> <p>However, <code>flot</code> is still graphing the points as the default circle. I get no error messages in firebug and I have even tried adding a logging message in the <code>jquery.flot.symbol.js</code> library itself to see if the "square" handler is even being called like so:</p> <pre><code>var handlers = { square: function (ctx, x, y, radius, shadow) { console.log("Square handler was called"); // pi * r^2 = (2s)^2 => s = r * sqrt(pi)/2 var size = radius * Math.sqrt(Math.PI) / 2; ctx.rect(x - size, y - size, size + size, size + size); }, </code></pre> <p>I am getting no console messages so I am assuming the handler is not getting called correctly. Am I missing something here?</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p>Example of data I am trying to plot:</p> <pre><code>var d1 = [ [1364342400000, 208], [1364346000000, 107], [1364353200000, 42], [1364371200000, 1680], [1364360400000, 52], [1364349600000, 67], [1364385600000, 1118], [1364367600000, 163], [1364382000000, 1359], [1364378400000, 1468], [1364389200000, 1023], [1364356800000, 63], [1364374800000, 1601], [1364392800000, 556], [1364364000000, 84], ], d2 = [ [1364342400000, 86], [1364346000000, 42], [1364353200000, 13], [1364371200000, 458], [1364360400000, 10], [1364349600000, 22], [1364385600000, 453], [1364367600000, 45], [1364382000000, 369], [1364378400000, 379], [1364389200000, 358], [1364356800000, 17], [1364374800000, 471], [1364392800000, 147], [1364364000000, 16], ], d3 = [ [1364342400000, 7], [1364346000000, 5], [1364382000000, 11709], [1364371200000, 58336], [1364360400000, 1], [1364349600000, 1], [1364367600000, 2], [1364389200000, 1191], [1364378400000, 9085], [1364385600000, 4688], [1364374800000, 9386], [1364392800000, 1140], [1364364000000, 1], ]; </code></pre> <p>I have also edited my <code>options</code> parameter and how the plot function is called:</p> <pre><code>var options = { grid: {hoverable : true}, xaxis: { mode: "time", timeformat: "%H:%M", tickLength: 1} }; $.plot("#placeholder", [{ data: d1, lines: { show : true }, points: { show: true}, color: '#EDC240', label: "d1" }, { data: d2, lines: { show : true }, points: { show : true}, color: '#AFD8F8', label: "d2" }, { data: d3, yaxis: 2, lines: { show : true}, points: { show: true, symbol: "square"}, color: '#CB4B4B', label: "d3" }], options); </code></pre> <p>I am also sure that the <code>symbol</code> library is being included because I have added some logging itself to the library and that is showing up fine.</p>
