Support for stacked bars.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It seems that it is not possible to create a graph with stacked bars. Like
this one: http://www.fusioncharts.com/free/Images/GalleryIcons/5/4.gif

It would be nice if it could! Thank you for considering this.

yes please! And stacked area graphs - I is possible to do with a bit of messing 
with
the data but not ideal

I also would like this feature. As a workaround, instead of [x1,x2,x3], I plot
[x1+x2+x3, x1+x2, x1]. This creates the illusion of stack graphs by drawing the 
bars
on top of each other.

There are a few problems with this workaround though. For example, if you use
transparent colours for the bars then the colour of the topmost bar will be 
mixed
with the colors of the bars beneath it. The resulting colour of the bar won't 
match
the legend.

It looks difficult to create a small patch to add the stacked bar feature in a 
clean way.

Here's an idea. Extend the bar support so you can specify a secondary y 
coordinate 
(like [x, y, y2]) which is the lower edge of the bar. This would default to 0.

With this in place, I think you could emulate the stacked bar charts perfectly 
by 
preprocessing the data. This sounds relatively straight-forward to implement, 
the 
biggest task is probably that someone needs to sit down and test how it looks 
like 
with real data. If anyone of you is up for this, I'll be happy to review a 
patch.

Next step is to figure out whether preprocessing support should be in Flot or 
not. I 
think that depends on the circumstances. If it can be made intuitive and small 
both 
code-wise and API-wise, my general opinion is that it's OK to put in.

If you can support stacked bar i think it is a first step to support candle 
stick
graph: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/files/3549/candle.jpg 
example:   
 max    
  _|_
c|   |
 |   |
o|___|
   |
  min 

You could create another graph option 'candles' and the input will be like
[[x,c,o,max,min],...]
x->date time. c->close . o->open -> max-> maximum value and min-> minimum value.
So you just draw a stacked bar and a vertical line to do the candle.

Here my patch and demo for stacked bars, I used it for my company products. It 
worked
well with mouseover tooltips too.

waruichingu: Sorry for not getting back earlier, I've been caught up in another
project with a hard deadline this Monday. I had a very brief look at your patch 
now,
and I don't think I agree on the details but the general idea is interesting so 
I'll
give it a spin.

Hi waruichingu:

I tried your sample for stack graph but it was throught out errors. it would be 
great if you can send  the updated jquery.flot.js and a sample.

Thanks in Advance.

I just closed issue 81 by adding support for specifying a third coordinate to 
bars.
So now it's just a question of preprocessing which should be simpler with the 
recent
input handling changes.

The third-coordinate approach could be useful for creating <a

I've been working with the stacked bars all day.  It works great with Firefox 
but
there seems to be some issue with IE

I am having a problem using the patch.diff file.  Could you please update your 
patch 
so it works with the current version of jquery.flot.js?

I'd like to see this feature for line graphs, so that filled areas may be 
stacked.

Does the candle stick graph flot support the stacked graphs?  If so does it 
work with
a second y cord, or do you just tell it that they are stacked?

Original comment by findar...@gmail.com on 18 Jun 2009 at 4:09

This isn't about stacked bars, but rather stacked line graphs, but I didn't know
where else to put this.

I modified the jquery.flot.stack.js plugin to essentially stack in reverse 
order,
giving the ability to use fills on stacked line graphs without everything being
covered over.

See the attached html for an example.

Support for stacked horizontal bars would be great. If I want to turn the bar 
chart
horizontal, I need to switch the data points (x -> y, y -> x), but after that 
the
stacked bar doesn't work since the y axis values get accumulated.

tried your Patch...I think it doesn't fix the issue :
Given X1,X2,X3,...Xn  Flot fails to draw in the order

1: X1+...Xn, 
2: X1+...xn-1, 
...
n : X1

On my screen (didn't look into the code), it looks like your mod is drawing in 
this
order which is still not what we expect:
1 : X1 + .. + Xn   (ok)
2 : X2+ ..  +Xn   bad
3 : x3+... +Xn
...
2: xn-1+xn
1: xn 

of course, there is a way to make it work, by sending xn,...x1 to flot (i.e. in
reverse order) and (maybee) reversing the legend...but reversing things is not 
the
way to go, that is still not the optimal __Simple__ solution.

I'm not good enough in javascript to fix that. But it would be nice to have 
working
fill lines with the correct legend....
Can someone fix that ?

With the stack plugin, I'm not sure this bug (stacked bars) is relevant anymore 
so
I'm going to close it. As for filled line areas, I've just committed support 
for that
too, based on code from Roman.

On IE8 this lib breaks. Any pointers how we can fix that.
