AnyStock Marker Series Adjustment

Data

The data in stocks should be formatted as a table, there are two ways of setting it: as an array of arrays or as an array of objects.

Here is how to set data as an array of arrays, array contains values and then you map the data set to tell the component which column contains values.

// set the data
table = anychart.data.table();
table.addData([
	['1990-01-01', 248709],
	['1995-01-01', 272119],
	['2000-01-01', 281421],
	['2005-01-01', 299456],
	['2010-01-01', 308745],
	['2015-01-01', 318914]
]);

// map the data
mapping = table.mapAs();
mapping.addField('value', 1);

// chart type
chart = anychart.stock();

// set the series
var series = chart.plot(0).marker(mapping);
series.name("USA");

The next sample contains the same data arranged as array of objects.

// set the data
table = anychart.data.table('x');
table.addData([
	{x:'1790-01-01', value: 3929},
	{x:'1795-01-01', value: 4390},
	{x:'1800-01-01', value: 5236},
	{x:'1805-01-01', value: 5989},
	{x:'1810-01-01', value: 7239},
	{x:'2005-01-01', value: 299456},
	{x:'2010-01-01', value: 308745},
	{x:'2015-01-01', value: 318914}
]);

// map the data
mapping = table.mapAs({x:'x', value:'value'});

// chart type
chart = anychart.stock();

// set the series
var series = chart.plot(0).marker(mapping);
series.name("USA");

Simple multiple-series chart:

// set the data
table = anychart.data.table();
table.addData([
	['1995-01-01', 272119, 49066],
	['2000-01-01', 281421, 49138],
	['2005-01-01', 299456, 51121],
	['2010-01-01', 308745, 53012],
	['2015-01-01', 318914, 54986]
]);

// map the data
mapping_usa = table.mapAs();
mapping_usa.addField('value', 1);
mapping_uk = table.mapAs();
mapping_uk.addField('value', 2);

// chart type
chart = anychart.stock();

// set the US series
var series_usa = chart.plot(0).marker(mapping_usa);
series_usa.name("USA");

// set the UK series
var series_uk = chart.plot(0).marker(mapping_uk);
series_uk.name("UK");

Multiple series on different plots:

// set the US series
var series = chart.plot(0).marker(mapping_usa);
series.name("USA");

// set the UK series
var series = chart.plot(1).marker(mapping_uk);
series.name("UK");

See Plot article to learn more about plots.

Switching series type

You can change the type of the series to another compatible type. See the Series Type and series types table.

To switch the series use seriesType() method.

Appearance

Use fill() and stroke() to change fill and stroke.

Use the hatchFill() method to change hatch fill settings.

// coloring
series_usa.fill("#CC9933");
series_usa.stroke("#FFCC33");

// hatch fill
series_uk.hatchFill("confetti");
series_uk.fill("#fff");
series_uk.stroke("#000");

Marker type

Us the type() method to change series marker type.

To change the marker size use the size() method.

// type and size
series_uk.type("square");
series_uk.size(7);
