Title

How to draw a line chart with a multi-line layout

Description

Can line charts achieve grouped line charts with the following multi-line layout?

Solution

VChart can be combined with combo diagrams and grid layouts, refer to demo: https://visactor.io/vchart/demo/combination/col-line.

Code Example

const regionStyle = {
  stroke: 'rgb(201,205,212)',
  lineWidth: 1,
  strokeTop: true,
  strokeBottom: false,
  strokeLeft: false,
  strokeRight: false
};
const leftAxesCommonSpec = {
  expand: { max: 0.2 },
  label: { flush: true, visible: true },
  tick: { visible: false },
  forceTickCount: 3
};
const spec = {
  type: 'common',
  layout: {
    type: 'grid',
    col: 2,
    row: 6,
    elements: [
      {
        modelId: 'legend',
        col: 0,
        colSpan: 2,
        row: 5
      },
      {
        modelId: 'Social Penetration',
        col: 1,
        row: 0
      },
      {
        modelId: 'Engagement - Socialization',
        col: 1,
        row: 1
      },
      {
        modelId: 'Penetration of Private Messages',
        col: 1,
        row: 2
      },
      {
        modelId: 'Number of Private Messages per User',
