Highchart In New Window

I use highcharts to display a chart in my page. It works fine, but some times data in graph is too 'condensed' so I should find a way to see the graph in a greater size. I read sev

Solution 1:

Here is an Highcharts exemple working with an "oldschool" popup :

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><metacharset="utf-8"><title>highcharts foobar</title></head><body><ahref="javascript:open_chart_popup();">Open Chart Popup</a><script>functionopen_chart_popup() {
        window.open('popup.html', 'chart popup title', 'width=1680px height=1050px');
    }
</script></body></html>

popup.html

<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><metacharset="utf-8"><title>highcharts foobar</title><scriptsrc="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script><scriptsrc="http://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script><scriptsrc="http://code.highcharts.com/modules/exporting.js"></script></head><body><divid="container"style="min-width: 400px; height: 400px; margin: 0 auto"></div><script>var chart;

$(document).ready(function() {
    chart = newHighcharts.Chart({
        chart: {
            renderTo: 'container',
            type: 'line',
            marginRight: 130,
            marginBottom: 25
        },
        title: {
            text: 'Monthly Average Temperature',
            x: -20//center
        },
        subtitle: {
            text: 'Source: WorldClimate.com',
            x: -20
        },
        xAxis: {
            categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
        },
        yAxis: {
            title: {
                text: 'Temperature (°C)'
            },
            plotLines: [{
                value: 0,
                width: 1,
                color: '#808080'
            }]
        },
        tooltip: {
            formatter: function() {
                return'<b>'+ this.series.name +'</b><br/>'+
                this.x +': '+ this.y +'°C';
            }
        },
        legend: {
            layout: 'vertical',
            align: 'right',
            verticalAlign: 'top',
            x: -10,
            y: 100,
            borderWidth: 0
        },
        series: [{
            name: 'Tokyo',
            data: [7.0, 6.9, 9.5, 14.5, 18.2, 21.5, 25.2, 26.5, 23.3, 18.3, 13.9, 9.6]
        }, {
            name: 'New York',
            data: [-0.2, 0.8, 5.7, 11.3, 17.0, 22.0, 24.8, 24.1, 20.1, 14.1, 8.6, 2.5]
        }, {
            name: 'Berlin',
            data: [-0.9, 0.6, 3.5, 8.4, 13.5, 17.0, 18.6, 17.9, 14.3, 9.0, 3.9, 1.0]
        }, {
            name: 'London',
            data: [3.9, 4.2, 5.7, 8.5, 11.9, 15.2, 17.0, 16.6, 14.2, 10.3, 6.6, 4.8]
        }]
    });
});
</script></body></html>

If this solution doesn't fit to you, could you tell us which JavaScript libraries you use (this example relies on jQuery). As the documentation says, highcharts requires either jQuery, Mootools or Prototype : http://www.highcharts.com/documentation/how-to-use

If you are able to use jQuery, you can replace that popup by using some cooler effects like those ones : http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/

Despite of that, if you want assistance for your script, could you consider making a jsfiddle, i'm not able to reproduce your error.

EDIT :

Okay, so you have all the stuff to deal with that.

I see two options :

  • You send the user input series JSON data to your server by an AJAX request. Then your server send you back a view or a bunch of html/js containing your highchart with the user datas. Back to the client, you do wathever you want with that (like triggering a popup containing the graph). I'm not too comfortable with backbone but i'm sure you can generate a template and render it back (this may help http://japhr.blogspot.fr/2011/08/getting-started-with-backbonejs-view.html)

  • The other solution would be to directly set your template (containing the graph) to the view but hidding him by default. Then, when the series are correctly setted by the user, you simply display the template (in a popup for example). This solution avoid a server call, so I would suggest that.

EDIT 2 :

So, I've made a jsFiddle showing a basic example on how to update a chart based on a user input : http://jsfiddle.net/MxtkM/

The example updates the last value of all the series on the graph, here is how :

$('#december_value').bind('keyup', function() {
    var user_input_value = parseFloat($(this).val()); // cast to floatfor (var s in chart.series) { // loop through the seriesvar old_data = chart.series[s].data;
        var new_data = [];

        for (var d in old_data ) { // loop through data objects
           new_data.push(old_data[d].config); // config property contains the y value
        }

        new_data[new_data.length - 1] = user_input_value; // update the last value

        chart.series[s].setData(new_data); // use setData method to refresh the datas of the serie
    }
});

This example use the method setData by providing a new data array. If this doesn't fit your needs, there is an another method to refresh your graph in whitch you rerender all the graph by doing var chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options);. (This is explained in the links above).

This two links are also a good read :

Now you shoud be able to do whatever you want with your graph based on a user input.

Solution 2:

After wandering around and asking questions, I found out that the best way to do it is to make fullscreen the div that contains the chart.

It's a very simple solution but it works.

This post is very helpful How do I make a div full screen?

A function like the following should do the trick on a "#graph" div:

functionfullscr() {

        $('#graph').css({
            width: $(window).width(),
            height: $(window).height()
        });

    }

Hope this help.

Solution 3:

The Best solution will be HTML5 Fullscreen API for fullscreen

functionfullScreen(){
     var elem = document.getElementById("highchart_div_id");
    if (elem.requestFullscreen) {
      elem.requestFullscreen();
    } elseif (elem.msRequestFullscreen) {
      elem.msRequestFullscreen();
    } elseif (elem.mozRequestFullScreen) {
      elem.mozRequestFullScreen();
    } elseif (elem.webkitRequestFullscreen) {
      elem.webkitRequestFullscreen();
    }
}

However, this piece of code only works in New Generation Browsers and I have hands on working output from Google chrome and Mozilla Firefox

Good Day
