sprintf functions contained in jqplot.sprintf.js by Ash Searle

version 2007.04.27 author Ash Searle http://hexmen.com/blog/2007/03/printf-sprintf/ http://hexmen.com/js/sprintf.js The author (Ash Searle) has placed this code in the public domain: “This code is unrestricted: you are free to use it however you like.”

Introduction

jqPlot requires jQuery (1.4+ required for certain features). jQuery 1.4.2 is included in the distribution.  To use jqPlot include jQuery, the jqPlot jQuery plugin, the jqPlot css file and optionally the excanvas script for IE support in your web page:

<!--[if lt IE 9]><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="excanvas.js"></script><![endif]-->
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="jquery.jqplot.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="jquery.jqplot.css" />

jqPlot can be customized by overriding the defaults of any of the objects which make up the plot.  The general usage of jqplot is:

chart = $.jqplot('targetElemId', [dataArray,...], {optionsObject});

The options available to jqplot are detailed in jqPlot Options in the jqPlotOptions.txt file.

An actual call to $.jqplot() may look like the examples below:

chart = $.jqplot('chartdiv',  [[[1, 2],[3,5.12],[5,13.1],[7,33.6],[9,85.9],[11,219.9]]]);

or

dataArray = [34,12,43,55,77];
chart = $.jqplot('targetElemId', [dataArray, ...], {title:'My Plot', axes:{yaxis:{min:20, max:100}}});

For more inforrmation, see jqPlot Usage.

       xaxis: {min: 5},
       yaxis: {min: 2, max: 8, numberTicks:4},
       x2axis: {pad: 1.5},
       y2axis: {ticks:[22, 44, 66, 88]}
       }
}

There are 2 x axes, ‘xaxis’ and ‘x2axis’, and 9 yaxes, ‘yaxis’, ‘y2axis’.  ‘y3axis’, ...  Any or all of which may be specified.

show

this.show = false

Wether to display the axis on the graph.

tickRenderer

this.tickRenderer = $.jqplot.AxisTickRenderer

A class of a rendering engine for creating the ticks labels displayed on the plot, See $.jqplot.AxisTickRenderer.

tickOptions

this.tickOptions = {}

Options that will be passed to the tickRenderer, see $.jqplot.AxisTickRenderer options.

labelRenderer

this.labelRenderer = $.jqplot.AxisLabelRenderer

A class of a rendering engine for creating an axis label.

labelOptions

this.labelOptions = {}

Options passed to the label renderer.

label

this.label = null

Label for the axis

showLabel

this.showLabel = true

true to show the axis label.

min

this.min = null

minimum value of the axis (in data units, not pixels).

max

this.max = null

maximum value of the axis (in data units, not pixels).

autoscale

this.autoscale = false

DEPRECATED the default scaling algorithm produces superior results.

pad

this.pad = 1.2

Padding to extend the range above and below the data bounds.  The data range is multiplied by this factor to determine minimum and maximum axis bounds.  A value of 0 will be interpreted to mean no padding, and pad will be set to 1.0.

padMax

this.padMax = null

Padding to extend the range above data bounds.  The top of the data range is multiplied by this factor to determine maximum axis bounds.  A value of 0 will be interpreted to mean no padding, and padMax will be set to 1.0.

padMin

this.padMin = null

Padding to extend the range below data bounds.  The bottom of the data range is multiplied by this factor to determine minimum axis bounds.  A value of 0 will be interpreted to mean no padding, and padMin will be set to 1.0.

ticks

this.ticks = []

1D [val, val, ...] or 2D [[val, label], [val, label], ...] array of ticks for the axis.  If no label is specified, the value is formatted into an appropriate label.

numberTicks

this.numberTicks

Desired number of ticks.  Default is to compute automatically.

tickInterval

this.tickInterval

number of units between ticks.  Mutually exclusive with numberTicks.

renderer

this.renderer = $.jqplot.LinearAxisRenderer

A class of a rendering engine that handles tick generation, scaling input data to pixel grid units and drawing the axis element.

rendererOptions

this.rendererOptions = {}

renderer specific options.  See $.jqplot.LinearAxisRenderer for options.

showTicks

this.showTicks = true

Wether to show the ticks (both marks and labels) or not.  Will not override showMark and showLabel options if specified on the ticks themselves.

showTickMarks

this.showTickMarks = true

Wether to show the tick marks (line crossing grid) or not.  Overridden by showTicks and showMark option of tick itself.

showMinorTicks

this.showMinorTicks = true

Wether or not to show minor ticks.  This is renderer dependent.

drawMajorGridlines

this.drawMajorGridlines = true

True to draw gridlines for major axis ticks.

drawMinorGridlines

True to include hidden series when computing axes bounds and scaling.

syncTicks

this.syncTicks = null

true to try and synchronize tick spacing across multiple axes so that ticks and grid lines line up.  This has an impact on autoscaling algorithm, however.  In general, autoscaling an individual axis will work better if it does not have to sync ticks.

tickSpacing

this.tickSpacing = 75

Approximate pixel spacing between ticks on graph.  Used during autoscaling.  This number will be an upper bound, actual spacing will be less.

this.lineWidth = 2.5

width of the line in pixels.  May have different meanings depending on renderer.

lineJoin

this.lineJoin = 'round'

Canvas lineJoin style between segments of series.

lineCap

this.lineCap = 'round'

Canvas lineCap style at ends of line.

linePattern

this.linePattern = 'solid'

line pattern ‘dashed’, ‘dotted’, ‘solid’, some combination of ‘-’ and ‘.’ characters such as ‘.-.’ or a numerical array like [draw, skip, draw, skip, ...] such as [1, 10] to draw a dotted line, [1, 10, 20, 10] to draw a dot-dash line, and so on.

shadowAngle

this.shadowAngle = 45

Shadow angle in degrees

shadowOffset

this.shadowOffset = 1.25

Shadow offset from line in pixels

shadowDepth

this.shadowDepth = 3

Number of times shadow is stroked, each stroke offset shadowOffset from the last.

shadowAlpha

this.shadowAlpha = '0.1'

Alpha channel transparency of shadow.  0 = transparent.

breakOnNull

this.breakOnNull = false

Wether line segments should be be broken at null value.  False will join point on either side of line.

markerRenderer

this.markerRenderer = $.jqplot.MarkerRenderer

A class of a renderer which will draw marker (e.g. circle, square, ...) at the data points, see $.jqplot.MarkerRenderer.

markerOptions

this.markerOptions = {}

renderer specific options to pass to the markerRenderer, see $.jqplot.MarkerRenderer.

showLine

this.showLine = true

wether to actually draw the line or not.  Series will still be renderered, even if no line is drawn.

showMarker

this.showMarker = true

wether or not to show the markers at the data points.

index

this.index

0 based index of this series in the plot series array.

fill

this.fill = false

true or false, wether to fill under lines or in bars.  May not be implemented in all renderers.

fillColor

this.fillColor

CSS color spec to use for fill under line.  Defaults to line color.

fillAlpha

this.fillAlpha

Alpha transparency to apply to the fill under the line.  Use this to adjust alpha separate from fill color.

fillAndStroke

this.fillAndStroke = false

If true will stroke the line (with color this.color) as well as fill under it.  Applies only when fill is true.

disableStack

this.disableStack = false

true to not stack this series with other series in the plot.  To render properly, non-stacked series must come after any stacked series in the plot’s data series array.  So, the plot’s data series array would look like:

[stackedSeries1, stackedSeries2, ..., nonStackedSeries1, nonStackedSeries2, ...]

disableStack will put a gap in the stacking order of series, and subsequent stacked series will not fill down through the non-stacked series and will most likely not stack properly on top of the non-stacked series.

neighborThreshold

this.neighborThreshold = 4

how close or far (in pixels) the cursor must be from a point marker to detect the point.

fillToZero

this.fillToZero = false

true will force bar and filled series to fill toward zero on the fill Axis.

fillToValue

this.fillToValue = 0

fill a filled series to this value on the fill axis.  Works in conjunction with fillToZero, so that must be true.

fillAxis

this.fillAxis = 'y'

Either ‘x’ or ‘y’.  Which axis to fill the line toward if fillToZero is true.  ‘y’ means fill up/down to 0 on the y axis for this series.

useNegativeColors

this.useNegativeColors = true

true to color negative values differently in filled and bar charts.

Grid

Object representing the grid on which the plot is drawn.  The grid in this context is the area bounded by the axes, the area which will contain the series.  Note, the series are drawn on their own canvas.  The Grid object cannot be instantiated directly, but is created by the Plot oject.  Grid properties can be set or overriden by the options passed in from the user.
