Alter highchart output to display start - end date
- by php_d
I currently have the following highchart which display a start date and outputs the values for the next 31 days of data. Does anyone know how I may improve on this to include and end date so that I can filter the data by smaller specific amounts? On the x-axis I am also trying to only display labels that have data attached to them and hide any others. Any help is appreciated.
My code is as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
var chart;
$(document).ready(function() {
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'line',
marginRight: 130,
marginBottom: 25
},
title: {
text: '<?php echo $type ?>',
x: -20 //center
},
xAxis: {
categories: [
<?php
$start = $_POST["dateStart"];
$dates = array();
for ($i = 0, $days = date('t', strtotime($start)); $i < $days; ++$i)
{
$dates[] = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($start . ' + ' . $i . ' day'));
}
echo "'" . implode("', '", $dates) . "'";
?>
]
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Total Amount'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function() {
return '<b>'+ this.series.name +'</b><br/>'+
this.x +': '+ this.y;
}
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
align: 'right',
verticalAlign: 'top',
x: -10,
y: 100,
borderWidth: 0
},
series: [
<?php
foreach ($array as $legend => $data)
{
echo '{';
echo "name: '" . $legend . "',";
$values = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < $days; ++$i)
{
$date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($start . ' + ' . $i . ' day'));
$values[] = isset($data[$date]) ? $data[$date] : 0;
}
echo 'data: [' . implode(', ', $values) . '],';
echo '},';
}
?>
]
});
});
Thanks
