Bar chart in Javascript: stacked bars + grouped bars

Question

I'm looking for a Javascript solution to mix Grouped and Stacked Bars with a beautiful graph, such as those provided by Protovis.

For example if I want to compare downloads on Apple (iPads+iPhones) devices to Android devices, I might have (excuse my terrible ascii art)

60k |             ^
50k |    #    ^   ^
40k |#   #    ^  #^
30k |@   #^   ^  #^
20k |@^  #^  #^  @^
10k |@^  @^  @^  @^

@: iPhone Downloads
^: Android Downloads

hey @Anthracnose could you find any solution for that Stacked+Grouped Bar chart? – Aleda

Answer 1

Checkout Google Chart Tools and Google Visualization

for instance you can specify the following:

cht=bvs
chco=4D89F9,C6D9FD
chd=t:10,50,60,80,40|
  50,60,100,40,20
chds=0,160

let's say if you change the chd to

cht=bvs
chs=250x150
chco=4D89F9,C6D9FD
chd=t:0,50,0,80,0, 10, 50, 40
      60,0,100,0,20, 50, 100, 60
chds=0,160

Take a look at the chart above (as if its a group chart, but actually its stacked). Then you can append data after to create stacked 'looking' group as the graph is intended.

Since no one's mentioned C3.js yet, here it is, with a stacked+grouped demo (source)

var chart = c3.generate({
    bindto: "#chart",
    data: {
        columns: [
            ['data1', -30, 200, 200, 400, -150, 250],
            ['data2', 130, 100, -100, 200, -150, 50],
            ['data3', -230, 200, 200, -300, 250, 250]
        ],
        type: 'bar',
        groups: [
            ['data1', 'data2']
        ]
    },
    grid: {
        y: {
            lines: [{value:0}]
        }
    }
});

setTimeout(function () {
    chart.groups([['data1', 'data2', 'data3']])
}, 1000);

setTimeout(function () {
    chart.load({
        columns: [['data4', 100, -50, 150, 200, -300, -100]]
    });
}, 2000);

setTimeout(function () {
    chart.groups([['data1', 'data2', 'data3', 'data4']])
}, 3000);

This looks like a powerful charting tools but you can either make clusters (I was using the term groups before) or stacks, but not both as far as I can tell. – Anthracnose

From the link, I see: Bars: Bars - Horizontal bars. ClusteredBars - Horizontal bars with clustered data sets. Uses Bars. StackedBars - Stacked data sets with horizontal bars. Uses Bars. – Anthracnose
