Timeline

A native timeline graph using D3 based on standard design patterns. Timeline graph is a graph with no Y Axis. This is primarily used to denote an action at a given point of time. It also accepts/supplies a content property which can be used to display non-numeric values which typically cannot be represented using traditional graphs like Line or Paired Result.

Usage

Structure

You will not need all the properties in the example below. Check out optional/required properties explained in the JSON Properties section.

var root = {
    bindTo: "#root",
    axis: {
        x: {
            label: "Datetime",
            lowerLimit: new Date(2016, 0, 1, 1, 0).toISOString(),
            upperLimit: new Date(2016, 0, 1, 15, 59).toISOString()
        }
    },
    showLabel: true,
    showLegend: true
};
var data = {
    key: "uid_1",
    label: {
        display: "Timeline A"
    },
    shape: Carbon.helpers.SHAPES.DARK.RHOMBUS,
    color: Carbon.helpers.COLORS.BLUE,
    onClick: (onCloseCB, key, index, value) => {
        // onCloseCB needs to called by the consumer after popup is closed to deselect data point.
    },
    values: [
        {
            x: new Date(2016, 0, 1, 10, 5).toISOString(),
            content: () => {},
            isCritical: true
        },
        {
            x: new Date(2016, 0, 1, 2, 15).toISOString()
        }
    ]
};
var timelineDefault = Carbon.api.timeline(root);
timelineDefault.loadContent(data);

For loading multiple data-sets, you can load as additional content:

var timelineDefault = Carbon.api.timeline(/* Input JSON */);
timelineDefault.loadContent(/* Data array A */);
timelineDefault.loadContent(/* Data array B */);
timelineDefault.loadContent(/* Data array C */);
timelineDefault.loadContent(/* Data array D */);
