+ <h2>dygraphs Annotations</h2>
+
+ <p>dygraphs lets you add annotations (markers) to individual points on your
+ chart. These markers have a short bit of text or an icon that's displayed
+ over the chart, plus a longer description that appears when you hover over
+ them.</p>
+
+ <h3>Demo: Dow Jones Industrial Average</h3>
+ <div id="dow_chart" style="width:900px; height:250px;"></div>
+ <script type="text/javascript">
+ // From http://www.econstats.com/eqty/eq_d_mi_3.csv
+ stockchart = new Dygraph(
+ document.getElementById('dow_chart'),
+ "dow.txt",
+ {
+ showRoller: true,
+ customBars: true,
+ labelsKMB: true,
+ labelsDivWidth: 300,
+ drawCallback: function(g, is_initial) {
+ if (!is_initial) return;
+
+ g.setAnnotations( [
+ {
+ series: "Real",
+ x: "1929-08-15",
+ shortText: "A",
+ text: "1929 Stock Market Peak"
+ },
+ {
+ series: "Nominal",

+ text: "1987 Crash"

+ text: "1999 (.com) Peak"

+ series: "Nominal",
+ x: "2007-10-15",
+ shortText: "D",
+ text: "All-Time Market Peak"
+ }
+ ] );
+ }
+ }
+ );

+
+ <h3>Adding Annotations</h3>
+
+ <p>There are two methods which are used to add, remove and modify annotations:</p>
+
+ <table class="thinborder">
+ <tr>
+ <td><code>setAnnotations(array)</code></td>
+ <td>Set the list of annotations currently displayed. This overwrites
+ existing annotations and redraws the dygraph.</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><code>annotations</code></td>
+ <td>Returns an array of the currently-displayed annotations.</td>
+ </tr>
+ </table>
+
+ <p>Calling <code>dygraph.setAnnotations(dygraph.annotations())</code> is a
+ no-op: it simply causes the chart to refresh.</p>
+
+ <p>Let's say we have a simple chart and wish to add an annotation. Here's how:</p>
+
+ <div class="example" style="clear:both;">
+ <div class="codeblock" style="float:left;width:400px;">
+ <h3 style="text-align:center">HTML</h3>
+ <pre>
+<script type="text/javascript">
+ g = new Dygraph(
+ document.getElementById("graphdiv"),
+ "Date,Temperature\n" +
+ "2008-05-07,75\n" +
+ "2008-05-08,70\n" +
+ "2008-05-09,80\n"
+ );
+
+ g.setAnnotations([
+ {
+ series: "Temperature",
+ x: "2008-05-08",
+ shortText: "L",
+ text: "Coldest Day"
+ }
+ ]);
+</script>
+</pre>
+ </div>
+ <div class="codeoutput" style="float:left;">
+ <h3 style="text-align:center">OUTPUT</h3>
+ <div id="graphdiv" style="width: 350px; height: 250px;"></div>
+ <script type="text/javascript">
+ g = new Dygraph(
+
+ // containing div
+ document.getElementById("graphdiv"),
+
+ // CSV or path to a CSV file.
+ "Date,Temperature\n" +
+ "2008-05-07,75\n" +
+ "2008-05-08,70\n" +
+ "2008-05-09,80\n"
+ );
+ g.setAnnotations([
+ {
+ series: "Temperature",
+ x: "2008-05-08",
+ shortText: "L",
+ text: "Coldest Day"
+ }
+ ]);
+ </script>
+ </div>
+ </div>
+
+ <p style="clear:both">Annotations are JavaScript dictionaries. The <code>series</code> and <code>x</code> fields are required: they indicate which point the annotation should be attached to. If specified, <code>shortText</code> will appear on the annotation "flag". If you don't specify <code>shortText</code>, you can specify <code>icon</code> instead to display a small picture. The <code>text</code> parameter specifies hovertext. If you highlight the annotation and leave the mouse still, it will appear.</p>
+
+ <h3>Modifying Annotations</h3>
+ <p>To remove or modify existing annotations, call the
+ <code>annotations</code> method to get an array of annotations. Modify that
+ array, then pass it back in to <code>setAnnotations</code>. For example, this
+ code deletes the second annotation and changes the series to which the first
+ is attached:</p>
+
+ <pre>
+ var annotations = g.annotations();
+ annotations.splice(1,1); // remove the second annotation
+ annotations[0].series = "Series 2";
+ g.setAnnotations(annotations); // causes a redraw
+ </pre>
+
+ <p>For a more real-life example, see the <a
+ href="tests/annotation.html">annotations demo</a></p>
+
+ <h3>Annotations property reference</h3>
+ <p>These properties can all be set in the dictionary for an annotation. The use of each one is demonstrated on the <a href="tests/annotation.html">annotations demo</a> page.</p>
+
+ <table class="thinborder">
+ <tr> <td><b>Property</b></td><td><b>Description</b></td> </tr>
+ <tr><td><code>series</code></td> <td><i>Required</i> The name of the series to which the annotated point belongs.</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>x</code></td><td><i>Required</i> The x value of the point. This should be the same as the value you specified in your CSV file, e.g. "2010-09-13".</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>shortText</code></td><td>Text that will appear on the annotation's flag.</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>text</code></td><td>A longer description of the annotation which will appear when the user hovers over it.</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>icon</code></td><td>Specify in place of <code>shortText</code> to mark the annotation with an image rather than text. If you specify this, you must specify <code>width</code> and <code>height</code>.</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>width</code></td><td>Width (in pixels) of the annotation flag or icon.</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>height</code></td><td>Height (in pixels) of the annotation flag or icon.</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>cssClass</code></td><td>CSS class to use for styling the annotation.</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>tickHeight</code></td><td>Height of the tick mark (in pixels) connecting the point to its flag or icon.</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>attachAtBottom</code></td><td>If true, attach annotations to the x-axis, rather than to actual points.</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>clickHandler</code></td> <td>See Handlers, below</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>mouseOverHandler</code></td><td>See Handlers, below</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>mouseOutHandler</code></td> <td>See Handlers, below</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>dblClickHandler</code></td> <td>See Handlers, below</td></tr>
+ </table>
+
+ <h3>Annotation event handlers</h3>
+
+ <p>dygraphs lets you attach event handlers to your annotations. These can be
+ specified globally (for all annotations) or on a per-annotation basis:</p>
+
+ <table class="thinborder">
+ <tr><td><b>Per-point field</b></td><td><b>Global option</b></td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>clickHandler</code></td> <td><code>annotationClickHandler</code></td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>mouseOverHandler</code></td><td><code>annotationMouseOverHandler</code></td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>mouseOutHandler</code></td> <td><code>annotationMouseOutHandler</code></td></tr>
+ <tr><td><code>dblClickHandler</code></td> <td><code>annotationDblClickHandler</code></td></tr>
+ </table>
+
+ <p>These event handlers all take the same parameters:</p>
+
+ <pre>
+ g.updateOptions( {
+ annotationClickHandler: function(annotation, point, dygraph, event) {
+ // ... access/modify annotation.series, annotation.x, ...
+ }
+ });
+ </pre>
+
+ <p>Again, check out the <a href="tests/annotation.html">annotations demo</a>
+ for concrete examples of usage of all these handlers.</p>
