JavaScript/jQuery PieChart - seriesTemplate
In most cases, you can organize the array that is assigned to the chart's dataSource property in the following way.
- [
- {arg: arg1Value, series1Value: val11, series2Value: val12, ...}
- {arg: arg2Value, series1Value: val21, series2Value: val22, ...}
- ...
- {arg: argNValue, series1Value: valN1, series2Value: valN2, ...}
- ]
Each object that is included in the array represents an argument value and the values of all series for this argument.
However, there are some scenarios in which you do not know exactly how many series will be added. In these cases, you will not be able to define the data source in the manner detailed above. Instead, define it in the following way.
- [
- {seriesName: series1, arg: arg11Value, val: value11 }
- {seriesName: series1, arg: arg12Value, val: value12 }
- ...
- {seriesName: seriesM, arg: argM1Value, val: valueM1 }
- {seriesName: seriesM, arg: argM2Value, val: valueM2 }
- ...
- ]
If you define a data source in this manner, set the argument and value fields using the argumentField and valueField properties of the commonSeriesSettings configuration object (for all series at once). Then, define a template for the series using the seriesTemplate configuration object. Within this object, set the data source field that specifies the series name to the nameField property.
If you need to specify individual values for properties of a particular series, assign a callback function to the customizeSeries property of the seriesTemplate object.
customizeSeries
Specifies a callback function that returns a series object with individual series settings.
The series' configuration.
