-<h2>Usage</h2>
-
-<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:
-
-<pre>./generate-combined.sh</pre>
-
-<p>The combined JS file is now in <code>dygraph-combined.js</code>. Here's a basic example to get things started:</p>
-
-<table>
- <tr><th>HTML</th>
- <td rowspan=2><img src=arrow.gif /></td>
- <th>Output</th></tr>
-<tr>

+
+ <h4>Some things to notice:</h4>
+ <ul>
+ <li>There's less seasonal temperature variation in SF than in NY.</li>
+ <li>The difference is about 15° F for SF vs. 50° F for NY.</li>
+ <li>The daily data (set rolling period to 1) is quite noisy and hides this conclusion.</li>
+ <li>Using a 14-day moving average makes it clearer. A 100-day rolling period averages out nearly all the specifics from the data.</li>
+ <li>There's a gap in the data for SF, when the weather station was down (zoom into October 2007 to see it).</li>
+ <li>The bands around each point indicate average highs and lows.</li>
+ <li>There is a <em>lot</em> of data in this chart: low, average and high for each city on each day of a three year period ≈ 6000 data points in all.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>dygraphs allows the user to explore the data and discover these facts.</p>
+
+ <p>For more demos, browse the dygraph <a href="tests/">tests</a> directory.</p>
+
+ <h3>Features</h3>
+ <p>Some of the features of dygraphs:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Plots time series without using an external server or Flash</li>

+ <li>Lightweight (69kb) and responsive</li>
+ <li>Displays values on mouseover (this makes it easily discoverable)</li>
+ <li>Supports error bands around data series</li>
+ <li>Interactive zoom</li>
+ <li>Displays Annotations on the chart</li>
+ <li>Adjustable averaging period</li>
+ <li>Can intelligently chart fractions</li>

+ <li>Compatible with the Google Visualization API</li>
+ <li>Intelligent defaults make it easy to use</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h2 id="usage">Usage</h2>
+
+ <p>To use dygraphs, include the <code><a href="http://github.com/danvk/dygraphs/downloads/">dygraph-combined.js</a></code> JavaScript file and instantiate a <code>Dygraph</code> object.</p>
+
+ <p>Here's a basic example to get things started:</p>
+
+ <div class="example" style="clear:both;">
+ <div class="codeblock" style="float:left;width:400px;">
+ <h3 style="text-align:center">HTML</h3>
+ <code>

- "20080509,80\n"
- );
- </script>
-</td></tr></table>
-
-<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>

-
-<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>
-
-<ul>
- <li>The Dygraph sent off an XHR to get the temperatures.csv file.</li>
- <li>The labels were taken from the first line of <code>temperatures.csv</code>, which is <code>Date,High,Low</code>.</li>
- <li>The Dygraph automatically chose two different, easily-distinguishable colors for the two data series.</li>
- <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>
- <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>
- <li>The data is very spiky. A moving average would be easier to interpret.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<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>

-<h2>Error Bars</h2>
-<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>σ</i> = sqrt((<i>σ_1</i>^2 + <i>σ_2</i>^2 + ... + <i>σ_n</i>^2)/<i>n</i>))</p>
-
-<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>

+
+ <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 <em>±n</em> 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. <em>σ = sqrt( (σ<sub>1<sup>2</sup></sub> + σ<sub>2<sup>2</sup></sub> + ... + σ<sub>n<sup>2</sup></sub>) / n )</em></p>

-<ul>
- <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>
- <li>The first line of the CSV file doesn't mention the error columns. In this case, it's just "Date,Series1,Series2".</li>
- <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>

+
+ <h2 id="ie">Internet Explorer Compatibility</h2>
+
+ <p>The dygraphs library relies heavily on the HTML5 <code><canvas></code> tag, which Microsoft Internet Explorer did not traditionally support. To use Microsoft's native canvas implementation in IE9, you need to set an HTML5 doctype on your page:</p>
+
+<pre>
+<!DOCTYPE html>
+</pre>
+
+ <p>When IE9 is in HTML5 mode, dygraphs works just like in other modern browsers.</p>
+
+ <p>If you want to support previous versions of Internet Explorer (IE6–IE8), you'll need to include the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/explorercanvas/">excanvas</a> library, which emulates the <code><canvas></code> tag using VML. You can add excanvas by including the following snippet:</p>
+
+<pre>
+<!DOCTYPE html>
+<html>
+ <head>
+ <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7; IE=EmulateIE9">
+ <!--[if IE]><script src="path/to/excanvas.js"></script><![endif]-->
+ </head>
+</pre>
+
+<p>(This is surprisingly tricky because the HTML5 doctype breaks excanvas in IE8. See <a href="https://groups.google.com/group/dygraphs-users/browse_thread/thread/c60709e04bc7fe5f#">this discussion</a> for details.)</p>
+
+ <p>While VML emulation sounds like it would be slow, it works well in practice for most charts.</p>
+
+ <p>One common gotcha to look out for: make sure you don't have any trailing commas in parameter lists, e.g.</p>
+
+<pre>
+new Dygraph(el, data, {
+ showRoller: true, // note trailing comma
+})</pre>
+
+ <p>Most browsers will ignore the trailing comma, but it will break under IE.</p>
+
+ <h2 id="gviz">GViz Data</h2>
+
+ <p>The <a
+ href="http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/index.html">Google
+ Visualization API</a> provides a standard interface for describing data.
+ Once you've specified your data using this API, you can plug in any
+ GViz-compatible visualization. dygraphs is such a visualization. In
+ particular, it can be used as a drop-in replacement for the
+ AnnotatedTimeline visualization used on Google Finance and other sites. To
+ see how this works, check out the <a href="tests/annotation-gviz.html">gviz
+ annotation demo.</a></p>
+
+ <p>For a simple demonstration of how to use dygraphs a GViz visualization, see <a href="http://danvk.org/dygraphs/tests/gviz.html">http://danvk.org/dygraphs/tests/gviz.html</a>. dygraphs can also be used as a GViz gadget. This allows it to be embedded inside of a Google Spreadsheet. For a demonstration of this, see <a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Anx1yCqeL8YUdDR1c3pPREhraGhkWmdhaURjOXRncXc&hl=en">this spreadsheet</a>. The URL for the gadget is <code><a href="http://danvk.org/dygraphs/gadget.xml">http://danvk.org/dygraphs/gadget.xml</a></code>.</p>
+
+ <p>Here's an example of a published gviz gadget using dygraphs:</p>

+
+ <h2 id="baseball">Charting Fractions</h2>
+
+ <p>Situations often arise where you want to plot fractions, e.g. the fraction of respondents in a poll who said they'd vote for candidate X or the number of hits divided by at bats (baseball's batting average). Fractions require special treatment for two main reasons:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>The average of <code>a1/b1</code> and <code>a2/b2</code> is <code>(a1+a2)/(b1+b2)</code>, not <code>(a1/b1 + a2/b2)/2</code>.</li>
+ <li>The normal approximation is not always applicable and more sophisticated confidence intervals (e.g. the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_proportion_confidence_interval">Wilson confidence interval</a>) must be employed to avoid ratios that exceed 100% or go below 0%.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Fortunately, dygraphs handles both of these for you! Here's a chart and the command that generated it:</p>
+
+ <div style="width:750px; text-align:center; font-weight: bold; font-size: 125%;">Batting Average for Ichiro Suzuki vs. Mariners (2004)</div>
+ <div id="baseballdiv" style="width:750px; height:300px;"></div>
+ <script type="text/javascript">
+ new Dygraph(
+ document.getElementById("baseballdiv"),
+ "suzuki-mariners.txt",
+ {
+ fractions: true,
+ errorBars: true,
+ showRoller: true,
+ rollPeriod: 15
+ }
+ );
+ </script>
+
+ <p>Command:</p>
+<pre>
+ new Dygraph(
+ document.getElementById("baseballdiv"),
+ "suzuki-mariners.txt",
{
+ fractions: true,
+ errorBars: true,
showRoller: true,
- customBars: true,
- labelsKMB: true,
- padding: {left:30, right:30, top:5, bottom:5}
- });
-</script>
+ rollPeriod: 15
+ }
+ );
+</pre>
+
+ <p>The <code>fractions</code> option indicates that the values in each column should be parsed as fractions (e.g. "1/2" instead of "0.5"). The <code>errorBars</code> option indicates that we'd like to see a confidence interval around each data point. By default, when <code>fractions</code> is set, you get a Wilson confidence interval. If you look carefully at the chart, you can see that the error bars are asymmetric.</p>
+
+ <p>A couple things to notice about this chart:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>The error bars for Ichiro's batting average are larger than for the Mariners', since he has far fewer at bats than his team.</li>
+ <li>dygraphs makes it easy to see "batting average over the last 30 games". This is ordinarily quite difficult to compute. It makes it clear where the "hot" and "cold" part of Suzuki's season were.</li>
+ <li>If you set the averaging period to something large, like 200, you'll see the team's and player's batting average through that game. The final number is the overall batting average for the season.</li>
+ <li>Where the error bars do not overlap, we can say with 95% confidence that the series differ. There is a better than 95% chance that Ichiro was a better hitter than his team as a whole in 2004, the year he won the batting title.</li>
+ </ul>

+ <h2 id="options">Other Options</h2>
+
+ <p>In addition to the options mentioned above (<code>showRoller</code>, <code>rollPeriod</code>, <code>errorBars</code>, <code>valueRange</code>), there are <i>many</i> others.</p>
+
+ <p>For a full list, see the <a href="options.html">Dygraphs Options Reference</a> page.</p>
+
+ <h2>Common Gotchas</h2>
+
+ <p>Here are a few problems that I've frequently run into while using the dygraphs library.</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>If your chart doesn't display, be sure to check your browser's JavaScript error console. dygraphs makes every attempt to log errors and warnings, and these can often guide you in the right direction.</li>
+ <li>Make sure your CSV files are readable! If your graph isn't showing up, the XMLHttpRequest for the CSV file may be failing. You can determine whether this is the case using tools like <a href="http://www.getfirebug.com/">Firebug</a>.</li>
+ <li>Make sure your CSV files are in the correct format. They must be of the form <code>YYYYMMDD, series1, series2, </code>… . And if you set the <code>errorBars</code> property, make sure you alternate data series and standard deviations.</li>
+ <li>dygraphs are not happy when placed inside a <code><center></code> tag. This applies to the CSS <code>text-align</code> property as well. If you want to center a Dygraph, put it inside a table with <code>align = center</code> set.</li>
+ <li>Don't set the <code>dateWindow</code> property to a date. It expects milliseconds since epoch, which can be obtained from a JavaScript Date object's valueOf method.</li>
+ <li>Make sure you don't have any trailing commas in your call to the Dygraph constructor or in the options parameter. Firefox, Chrome and Safari ignore these but they can cause a graph to not display in Internet Explorer.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h2 id="gwt">GWT Compatibility</h2>
+ <p>There is currently no GWT wrapper around Dygraphs, however there is a class that can be used to easily load Dygraphs into the browser. To use it, include the generated dygraph-gwt.jar file in your classpath and add the following line to your GWT module:</p>
+
+<pre>
+<inherits name="org.danvk.dygraphs"/>
+</pre>
+
+ <p>Call org.danvk.Dygraphs.install() when your application starts to install the JavaScript code into the browser. You can use <a href="http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCodingBasicsJSNI.html">JSNI</a> to call Dygraphs from your GWT code, as in the example below. The example uses the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/gwt-google-apis/wiki/VisualizationGettingStarted">Visualization API for GWT</a> and the <a href="#gviz">Dygraphs GViz API.</a></p>
+
+<pre>
+ public static native JavaScriptObject drawDygraph(Element element, DataTable dataTable, double minY, double maxY) /*-{
+ var chart = new $wnd.Dygraph.GVizChart(element);
+ chart.draw(dataTable,
+ {
+ valueRange: [minY, maxY]
+ });
+ return chart;
+ }-*/;
+</pre>
