How to Use Google Chart
- Add a <div> element (with a unique id) in the HTML where you want to display the chart:
<div id="myChart" style="max-width:700px; height:400px"></div>
Add a link to the charts loader:
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script>
Load the Google Chart API and add the function to run when the API is loaded:
<script>google.charts.load('current', {packages: ['corechart']});google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);// Your functionfunction drawChart() { ...}</script>
Bar Charts
Example: World Wide Wine Production
function drawChart() { // Set Data const data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([ ['Country', 'Mhl'], ['Italy', 55], ['France', 49], ['Spain', 44], ['USA', 24], ['Argentina', 15] ]); // Set Options const options = {title: 'World Wide Wine Production'}; // Draw Chart const chart = new google.visualization.BarChart(document.getElementById('myChart')); chart.draw(data, options);}
Pie Charts
To convert a bar chart to a pie chart, change google.visualization.BarChart to google.visualization.PieChart:
const chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('myChart'));
3D Pie
To display a pie chart in 3D, add is3D: true to the options:
const options = { title: 'World Wide Wine Production', is3D: true};
Line Graph
Example: House Prices vs. Size
function drawChart() {
// Set Data
const data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
['Square Meters', 'Price in Millions'],
[50, 7], [60, 8], [70, 8], [80, 9], [90, 9], [100, 9],
[110, 10], [120, 11], [130, 14], [140, 14], [150, 15]
]);
// Set Options
const options = {
title: 'House Prices vs Size',
hAxis: {title: 'Square Meters'},
vAxis: {title: 'Price in Millions'},
legend: 'none'
};
// Draw Chart
const chart = new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById('myChart'));
chart.draw(data, options);
}
Scatter Plots
To scatter plot the same data, change google.visualization.LineChart to google.visualization.ScatterChart:
const chart = new google.visualization.ScatterChart(document.getElementById('myChart'));
