dataSource

Specifies a data source for the sparkline.

Type:

Array<any>

|

DataSource

|

DataSource Configuration

|

Cannot be used in themes.

This option accepts one of the following.

Array of objects
A simple JavaScript array containing a collection of plain objects.
URL
The URL of a JSON file or service that returns JSON data.
DataSource or its configuration object
A DataSource is an object that provides a handy API for data processing. A DataSource is a stateful object, which means that it saves data processing settings and applies them each time data is loaded. All underlying data access logic of a DataSource is isolated in a Store. A Store provides an API for reading and modifying data. Unlike the DataSource, a Store is a stateless object.

NOTE

Data field names should not contain the following characters: ., ,, :, [, and ]. Their presence may cause issues in the widget's operation.

disabled

Specifies whether the widget responds to the user interaction.

Type:

Default Value: false

Cannot be used in themes.

size

By default, the widget occupies the entire area of the container. If you need to set a particular size for the widget, different from the container's size, assign a height and width in pixels to height and width properties of the size object.

Using the size object, you can hide the widget. For this purpose, simply assign 0 to both the height and width of the widget.

NOTE

The size configuration object reserves space for the main widget elements, while displaying a tooltip may require extra space. To reserve the area around the widget for the tooltip, you can apply a margin to the widget's container.

theme

Sets the name of the theme the widget uses.

Type:

Default Value: 'generic.light'

A theme is a widget configuration that gives the widget a distinctive appearance. Use can use one of the predefined themes or create a custom one. Changing the option values in the widget's configuration object overrides the theme's corresponding values.

Use the VizTheme enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC Control. This enum accepts the following values: GenericLight, GenericDark, GenericContrast, GenericCarmine, GenericDarkMoon, GenericSoftBlue, GenericDarkViolet, GenericGreenMist, IOS7Default, MaterialBlueLight, MaterialLimeLight, MaterialOrangeLight, MaterialPurpleLight, MaterialTealLight.

tooltip

Configures the tooltip.

Type:

A tooltip is a miniature rectangle displaying widget data. The tooltip appears when the end-user hovers the cursor over the widget. You can enable/disable the tooltip, change its appearance and format its text using fields of the tooltip configuration object.

NOTE

The tooltip is displayed outside the widget's container. If you plan to use the tooltip, make sure there is enough space around your widget to display it. For example, you can apply a margin to the widget's container to reserve the area around the widget for the tooltip.

type

Determines the type of a sparkline.

Type:

View Area Sparkline Demo View Bar Sparkline Demo View Winloss Sparkline Demo
