Candlestick or OHLC graphs? #389

Closed jkp closed 9 years ago

jkp commented 9 years ago

Hi there

I've been playing with a few graphing libraries and I really like yours so far - it's super-fast compared to everything else I've tried and the panning and zooming implementation is great.

One thing that's a bit of a sticking point for me is that I can't find a way to graph OHLC data (either in OHLC or candlestick style)....is this possible today? If not, how easy would it be to to write a plugin or extend the code to support it?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give

Hi Jamie,

I've Googled around a bit but could you send me a few examples of the type of graphs you mean? There is a lot planned with the graph2d module and it is currently the youngest of the set by far.

Regards,

Alex

Wow...quick response!

Here are some examples of the kind of chart I'm after. It's a very standard way of graphing financial data and if vis.js could do it it would be a very nice addition I think :)

Hi Jamie,

We're more active in the scientific domain then we are in the financial one but one of the things we still plan to implement is a box plot. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot

It shouldn't be hard to design that code in such a way that we facilitate candlestick graphs as well. Thank you for letting us know!

As for the timeframe, I would guess within 2014 but I cannot be more specific then that at this point.

Regards,

Alex

I'll add candlestick plot to my todo on #354 and close this issue.
