Configuration Options

Common Options

All charts inherit from BaseChart and support these common options:

{
  width: 800,              // Chart width
  height: 400,             // Chart height
  margin: {                // Chart margins
    top: 20,
    right: 30,
    bottom: 40,
    left: 40
  },
  backgroundColor: '#ffffff', // Background color
  onClick: (data, event) => {} // Click handler
}

Chart-Specific Options

Each chart type has its own specific options. Refer to the individual chart documentation for details.

Responsive Charts

Make your charts responsive:

import { DOMUtils } from 'd3-charts-viz-library';

const chart = new BarChart('#container');
const container = document.getElementById('container');

// Make chart responsive
DOMUtils.makeResponsive(chart, container);

Exporting Charts

Export charts as images:

import { DOMUtils } from 'd3-charts-viz-library';

const svgElement = document.querySelector('#container svg');
DOMUtils.exportAsImage(svgElement, 'my-chart.png');

const chart = new BarChart('#container', {
  animationDuration: 1000,
  animationDelay: 100
});

Events

Charts support various events:

const chart = new BarChart('#container', {
  onClick: (data, event) => {
    console.log('Clicked:', data);
  },
  onHover: (data, event) => {
    console.log('Hovered:', data);
  }
});
