  91 <h2>Usage</h2>
  92
  93 <p>The dygraphs library depends on two other JS libraries: <a href="http://www.mochikit.com/">MochiKit</a> and <a href="http://www.liquidx.net/plotkit/">PlotKit</a>. Rather than tracking down copies of these libraries, I recommend using a packed version of dygraphs that combines all three libraries into a single JS file. Either grab this file from dygraph project's <a href="http://code.google.com/p/dygraphs/downloads/list">downloads</a> page or create it yourself by <a href="http://code.google.com/p/dygraphs/source/checkout">checking out</a> a copy of the code and running:
  94
  95 <pre>./generate-combined.sh</pre>
  96
  97 <p>The combined JS file is now in <code>dygraph-combined.js</code>. Here's a basic example to get things started:</p>
  98
  99 <table>
 100   <tr><th>HTML</th>
 101       <td rowspan=2><img src=arrow.gif /></td>
 102       <th>Output</th></tr>
 103 <tr>
 104 <td valign=top><pre>
 105 &lt;html&gt;
 106 &lt;head&gt;
 107 &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="combined.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
 108 &lt;/head&gt;
 109 &lt;body&gt;
 110 &lt;div id="graphdiv"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 111 &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
 112   g = new Dygraph(
 113         document.getElementById("graphdiv"),  // containing div
 114         "Date,Temperature\n" +                // CSV or path to a CSV file.
 115         "20080507,75\n" +
 116         "20080508,70\n" +
 117         "20080509,80\n",
 118       );
 119 &lt;/script&gt;
 120 &lt;/body&gt;
 121 &lt;/html&gt;
 122 </pre>
 123 </td><td valign=top>
 124   <div id="graphdiv"></div>
 125   <script type="text/javascript">
 126     g = new Dygraph(
 127         document.getElementById("graphdiv"),  // containing div
 128         "Date,Temperature\n" +                // CSV or path to a CSV file.
 129         "20080507,75\n" +
 130         "20080508,70\n" +
 131         "20080509,80\n"
 132       );
 133   </script>
 134 </td></tr></table>
 135
 136 <p>In order to keep this example self-contained, the second parameter is a function that returns CSV data. These lines <i>must</i> begin with a date in the form <i>YYYYMMDD</i>. In most applications, it makes more sense to include a CSV file instead. If the second parameter to the constructor is a string, it will be interpreted as the path to a CSV file. The Dygraph will perform an XMLHttpRequest to retrieve this file and display the data when it becomes available. Make sure your CSV file is readable and serving from a place that understands XMLHttpRequest's! In particular, you cannot specify a CSV file using <code>"file:///"</code>. Here's an example: (data from <a href="http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KNUQ/2007/1/1/CustomHistory.html?dayend=31&monthend=12&yearend=2007&req_city=NA&req_state=NA&req_statename=NA">Weather Underground</a>)</p>

 167   </script>
 168 </td></tr></table>
 169
 170 <p>Click <a href="temperatures.csv">here</a> to view the <code>temperatures.csv</code> file. There are a few things to note here:</p>
 171
 172 <ul>
 173   <li>The Dygraph sent off an XHR to get the temperatures.csv file.</li>
 174   <li>The labels were taken from the first line of <code>temperatures.csv</code>, which is <code>Date,High,Low</code>.</li>
 175   <li>The Dygraph automatically chose two different, easily-distinguishable colors for the two data series.</li>
 176   <li>The labels on the x-axis have switched from days to months. If you zoom in, they'll switch to weeks and then days.</li>
 177   <li>Some heuristics are used to determine a good vertical range for the data. The idea is to make all the data visible and have human-friendly values on the axis (i.e. 200 instead of 193.4). Generally this works well.</li>
 178   <li>The data is very spiky. A moving average would be easier to interpret.</li>
 179 </ul>
 180
 181 <p>This problem can be fixed by specifying the appropriate options in the "additional options" parameter to the Dygraph constructor. To set the number of days for a moving average, use the <b>rollPeriod</b> option. Here's how it's done:</p>
 182
 183 <table>
 184   <tr><th>HTML</th>
 185       <td rowspan=2><img src=arrow.gif /></td>
 186       <th>Output</th></tr>

 192 &lt;/head&gt;
 193 &lt;body&gt;
 194 &lt;div id="graphdiv" style="width:600px; height:300px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 195 &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
 196   g = new Dygraph(
 197         document.getElementById("graphdiv"),
 198         "temperatures.csv",
 199         { rollPeriod: 7,
 200           showRoller: true,
 201         }
 202       );
 203 &lt;/script&gt;
 204 &lt;/body&gt;
 205 &lt;/html&gt;
 206 </pre>
 207 </td><td valign=top>
 208   <div id="graphdiv3" style="width:600px; height:300px;"></div>
 209   <script type="text/javascript">
 210     g3 = new Dygraph(
 211           document.getElementById("graphdiv3"),
 212           "temperatures.csv",
 213           { rollPeriod: 7,
 214             showRoller: true,
 215           }
 216         );
 217   </script>
 218 </td></tr></table>
 219
 220 <p>A rolling average can be set using the text box in the lower left-hand corner of the graph (the showRoller attribute is what makes this appear).</p>
 221
 222 <h2>Error Bars</h2>
 223 <p>Another significant feature of the dygraphs library is the ability to display error bars around data series. One standard deviation must be specified for each data point. A +/-<i>n</i> sigma band will be drawn around the data series at that point. If a moving average is being displayed, dygraphs will compute the standard deviation of the average at each point. (i.e. <i>&sigma;</i> = sqrt((<i>&sigma;_1</i>^2 + <i>&sigma;_2</i>^2 + ... + <i>&sigma;_n</i>^2)/<i>n</i>))</p>
 224
 225 <p>Here's a demonstration. There are two data series. One is <code>N(100,10)</code> with a standard deviation of 10 specified at each point. The other is <code>N(80,20)</code> with a standard deviation of 20 specified at each point. The CSV file was generated using Octave and can be viewed <a href="twonormals.csv">here</a>.</p>

 250     valueRange: [50,125]
 251   }
 252 );

 254 &lt;/body&gt;
 255 &lt;/html&gt;

 264   { rollPeriod: 14,
 265     showRoller: true,

 267     valueRange: [50, 125]
 268   }
 269 );
 270   </script>
 271 </td></tr></table>
 272
 273 <p>Things to note here:</p>
 274 <ul>
 275   <li>The <b>errorBars</b> option affects both the interpretation of the CSV file and the display of the graph. When <b>errorBars</b> is set to true, each line is interpreted as <i>YYYYMMDD</i>,<i>A</i>,<i>sigma_A</i>,<i>B</i>,<i>sigma_B</i>,...</li>
 276   <li>The first line of the CSV file doesn't mention the error columns. In this case, it's just "Date,Series1,Series2".</li>
 277   <li>The averaging visibly affects the error bars. This is most clear if you crank up the rolling period to something like 100 days. For the earliest dates, there won't be 100 data points to average so the signal will be noisier. The error bars get smaller like sqrt(N) going forward in time until there's a full 100 points to average.</li>
 278   <li>The error bars are partially transparent. This can be seen when they overlap one another.</li>
 279 </ul>

 530 <p>Any options you specify also get passed on to PlotKit's <a href="http://media.liquidx.net/js/plotkit-doc/PlotKit.Renderer.html">Renderer</a> class. dygraphs will override some of these (e.g. strokeColor), but others may be useful. The <code>padding</code> property is an example of this.</p>
 531
 532 <h2>Common Gotchas</h2>
 533 <p>Here are a few problems that I've frequently run into while using the
 534 dygraphs library.</p>
 535
 536 <ul>
 537   <li>Make sure your CSV files are readable! If your graph isn't showing up,
 538   the XMLHttpRequest for the CSV file may be failing. You can determine whether
 539   this is the case using tools like <a
 540     href="http://www.getfirebug.com/">Firebug</a>.</li>
 541
 542   <li>Make sure your CSV files are in the correct format. They must be of the
 543   form <code>YYYYMMDD,series1,series2,...</code>. And if you set the
 544   <code>errorBars</code> property, make sure you alternate data series and
 545   standard deviations.</li>
 546
 547   <li>dygraphs are not happy when placed inside a <code>&lt;center&gt;</code>
 548   tag. This applies to the CSS <code>text-align</code> property as well. If you
 549   want to center a Dygraph, put it inside a table with "align=center"
 550   set.</li>
 551
 552   <li>Don't set the <code>dateWindow</code> property to a date. It expects
 553   milliseconds since epoch, which can be obtained from a JavaScript Date
 554   object's valueOf method.</li>
 555 </ul>
 556
 557 <h2>Data Policy</h2>
 558 <p>dygraphs is purely client-side JavaScript. It does not send your data to any
 559 servers -- the data is processed entirely in the client's browser.</p>
