JavaScript/jQuery Chart - series.aggregation

Configures data aggregation for the series.

Type:

Object

If the Chart contains many series points, displaying all of them may lower its performance. In this case, it is better to aggregate the series points, or replace a group of them with a single point. The group includes only those points that fall within the same interval on the argument axis. See aggregationInterval and aggregationGroupWidth for details on dividing the axis into intervals.

The Chart provides several aggregation methods, which differ depending on the series type, and a capability to implement a custom aggregate function. To enable data aggregation for the series, set the aggregation.enabled option to true.

calculate

Specifies a custom aggregate function. Applies only if the aggregation method is "custom".

Type:

Function

Function parameters:
aggregationInfo:

Point Aggregation Info

An object with information about the aggregation interval and the data objects that fall within it.

series:

Series

The series to which the aggregate function is being applied.

Return Value:

Object

|

Array<Object>

One or several aggregated data objects. Should have the same structure as the original data objects.

Default Value: undefined

Default Value: false

method

Specifies how to aggregate series points.

Type:

String

Accepted Values: 'avg' | 'count' | 'max' | 'min' | 'ohlc' | 'range' | 'sum' | 'custom'

Series points get aggregated by individual aggregation intervals. The following list describes available aggregation methods per series type:

  • Line, bar, area, and Scatter series:

    • "avg"
      Calculates the average of all point values in an interval.

    • "count"
      Calculates the number of points in an interval.

    • "max"
      Calculates the maximum point value in an interval.

    • "min"
      Calculates the minimum point value in an interval.

    • "sum"
      Calculates the sum of all point values in an interval.

  • Bubble series:

    • "avg"
      Calculates the average of all point values in an interval.

  • Financial series:

    • "ohlc"
      Calculates the first open, last close, minimum low, and maximum high value in an interval.

  • Range series:

    • "range"
      Calculates the range of values in an interval.

  • All series types:

    • "custom"
      Applies a custom aggregate function specified in the calculate option.

Use the ChartSeriesAggregationMethod enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core Control. This enum accepts the following values: Avg, Count, Max, Min, Ohlc, Range, Sum, and Custom.
