Responsive Animated Column Chart Plugin - Draw Bar Chart

Draw Bar Chart is a responsive and animated jQuery bar (column) chart plugin for drawing single-bar or stacked-bar charts on the page.

Based on pure JavaScript, HTML, and CSS/CSS3. No SVG and Canvas needed.

You can customize almost every aspect of the chart: adjust the size of the chart, change colors, enable/disable animations, and change its look by adding axes, labels, and legends.

How to use it:

1. Load the stylesheet draw-bar-chart.css and JavaScript draw-bar-chart.js in the document.

<!-- jQuery Is Required -->
<script src="/path/to/cdn/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- Draw Bar Chart -->
<script src="./draw-bar-chart.js"></script>
<link href="./draw-bar-chart.css" rel="stylesheet" />

2. Create an empty container to hold the bar chart.

<div id="example"></div>

3. Initialize the plugin and define your own data to be visualized in the bar chart.

drawBarChart(
  $("#example"),
  {
    // values
    values: [3.6, 4.9, 3.8, 2.5, 6.5],
    // x-axis labels
    labels: ["jQuery", "Script", "Net", "CSS", "Com"],
  },
  {
    // chart ID
    id: 1,
    // chart title
    chartTitle: "Basic Chart",
    // y-axis title
    yAxisTitle: "y-axis title",
    // x-axis title
    xAxisTitle: "x-axis title",
  }
);

4. Negative values are supported as well.

drawBarChart(
  $("#example"),
  {
    // values
    values: [-1.25, -6.21, 4.04, 1.98, -2.5],
  },
  {
    // ...
  }
);

5. Generate a stacked bar chart from an array of arrays.

drawBarChart(
  $("#example"),
  {
    values: [
      [1, 2, 3],
      [-1, 2, 3],
      [3.5, 1, -4],
      [1, 0.5, -3],
      [-2.5, 3, -1],
    ],
    labels: ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E"],
    stackLabels: ["label1", "label2", "label3"],
  },
  {
    // ...
  }
);

6. Full plugin options to customize the bar chart.

drawBarChart(
  $("#example"),
  {
    // data here
  },
  {

    // tick interval
    tickInterval: 2,

    // chart width
    width: "90vw",

    // chart height
    height: "90vh",

    // font size of chart title
    titleFontSize: "2em",

    // color of chart title
    titleColour: "black",

    // font size of y-axis title
    yAxisTitleFontSize: "1.5em",

    // color of y-axis label
    yAxisLabelFontSize: "1.5em",

    // font size of x-axis title
    xAxisTitleFontSize: "1.5em",

    // color of x-axis label
    xAxisLabelFontSize: "1.5em",

    // "top", "centre" or "bottom"
    dataLabelPosition: "top",

    // color of data label
    dataLabelColour: "white",

    // font size of data label
    dataLabelFontSize: "1em",

    // For single bar chart: String
    // For stacked bar chart: Array of String
    barColour: "SkyBlue",

    // space between bars
    barSpacing: "1em",

    // whether to show legend
    showLegend: true,

    // font size of stack label
    stackLabelFontSize: "1.1em",

    // color of stack label
    stackLabelColour: "black",

    // allows users to select values
    userSelect: false,

    // displays values as scientific notation
    scientificNotation: false,

    // enable/disable animation
    animationEffect: true,

  }
);
