ECharts Liquid Fill Chart

Liquid Fill Chart plugin for ECharts, which is usually used to represent data in percentage.

Install ECharts

To use ECharts plugins, you need to include the plugin JavaScript file after ECharts file.

<script src='echarts.js'></script>
<script src='echarts-liquidfill.js'></script>

ECharts can be downloaded at GitHub dist directory or Download page of Official Website (in Chinese).

NOTE

The minimum package of ECharts required by LiquidFill Chart is simple version on GitHub, or selecting nothing in online builder (in Chinese). If you need other chart types or components in your other chart, you should include them accordingly.

Install echarts-liquidfill with npm

npm install echarts-liquidfill

Download echarts-liquidfill from GitHub

You may download the lastest ECharts files on ECharts official site and download this plugin in dist directory. Note that if you need tooltip for Liquid Fill Chart, you need the complete ECharts version. Otherwise, simple version will do.

Notes

Flatten textStyle

From ECharts v3.7.0, textStyle option is flatten, so that series.label[normal|emphasis].textStyle.xxx is now can be written in series.label[normal|emphasis].textStyle. This is supported from echarts-liquidfill v1.0.6. So if you found examples with textStyle in old demo, don't be too surprised.

Quick Start

• API
• Examples at ECharts Gallery

Here are some common uses:

• Use multiple waves in a chart
• Change waves color and opacity
• Make waves static
• Water with no waves
• Set attributes for a single wave
• Change background and border style
• Hide outline in chart
• Change shape with SVG
• Setup animation
• Change text content and style
• Change shadow style
• Setup tooltip
• Click event
• Make an element non-interactable

To ask a question, you may fork Liquid Fill Chart Example on Gallery and copy your code there. Then you may open an issue in this project.

Examples

A Simple Example

To create a Liquid Fill Chart, you need to have a series with type of 'liquidFill'. A basic option may be:

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        data: [0.6]
    }]
};

Run

Multiple Waves

It is easy to create a liquid fill chart will multiple waves, either to represent multiple data, or to improve the visual effect of the chart.

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        data: [0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3]
    }]
};

This creates a chart wit waves at position of 60%, 50%, 40%, and 30%.

Run

Color and Opacity

To set colors for liquid fill chart series, set color to be an array of colors. To set opacity, use itemStyle.normal.opacity and itemStyle.emphasis.opacity for normal style and hover style.

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        data: [0.5, 0.4, 0.3],
        color: ['red', '#0f0', 'rgb(0, 0, 255)'],
        itemStyle: {
            normal: {
                opacity: 0.6
            },
            emphasis: {
                opacity: 0.9
            }
        }
    }]
};

Run

You may also set the color and opacity of a single data item by:

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        data: [0.5, 0.4, {
            value: 0.3,
            itemStyle: {
                normal: {
                    color: 'red',
                    opacity: 0.6
                },
                emphasis: {
                    opacity: 0.9
                }
            }
        }]
    }]
};

Run

Static Waves

To provent the waves from moving left or right, you may simply set waveAnimation to be false. To disable the animation of waves raising, set animationDuration and animationDurationUpdate to be 0.

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        waveAnimation: false,
        animationDuration: 0,
        animationDurationUpdate: 0,
        data: [0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3]
    }]
};

Run

Still Water

You may set the amplitude to be 0 to make still waves.

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        data: [0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3],
        amplitude: 0,
        waveAnimation: 0
    }]
};

It is recommended to set waveAnimation to be false in this case to disable animation for performance consideration.

Run

Change A Single Wave

To change a single wave, overwrite the options in data item.

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        data: [0.6, {
            value: 0.5,
            direction: 'left',
            itemStyle: {
                normal: {
                    color: 'red'
                }
            }
        }, 0.4, 0.3]
    }]
};

Run

Background Style

You can use backgroundStyle option to set the stroke, fill style of background shape.

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        data: [0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3],
        backgroundStyle: {
            borderWidth: 5,
            borderColor: 'red',
            color: 'yellow'
        }
    }]
};

Run

Outline Style

To hide the outline, just set outline.show to be false.

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        data: [0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3],
        outline: {
            show: false
        }
    }]
};

Run

Shape

Shape of water fill chart. It can be:

• one of the default symbols: 'circle', 'rect', 'roundRect', 'triangle', 'diamond', 'pin', 'arrow';
• 'container': a shape that fully fills the container.
• an SVG path starting with 'path://'.

var options = [{
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        data: [0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3],
        shape: 'diamond'
    }]
}];

Run

option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        data: [0.5, 0.4, 0.3, 0.2],
        shape: 'container',
        outline: {
            show: false
        }
    }]
};

Run

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        data: [0.6, 0.55, 0.4, 0.25],
        radius: '60%',
        outline: {
            show: false
        },
        backgroundStyle: {

    }]
};

Animation

Generally speaking, there are two types of animations in liquid fill charts.

The first type is initial animation, which has the effect of wave raising. The easing method of this animation is controlled with animationEasing and its duration with animationDuration.

The second type is the update animation, which is usually used when data changes and wave height changes. They are controlled with animationEasingUpdate and animationDurationUpdate.

For example, to disable the raising animation and set update animation time to be two seconds with cubicOut easing, you can use the following option:

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        data: [0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3],
        animationDuration: 0,
        animationDurationUpdate: 2000,
        animationEasingUpdate: 'cubicOut'
    }]
};
chart.setOption(option);
setTimeout(function () {
    chart.setOption({
        series: [{
            type: 'liquidFill',
            data: [0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.2]
        }]
    })
}, 3000);

Run

Change Text

By default, the text label of liquid fill chart displays percentage of the first data. For example, for a chart with data [0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3], default text is 60%.

To change the text, you may use label.normal.formatter, which can be set to a string or function.

If it is a string, {a} refers to series name, {b} to data name, and {c} to data value.

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        name: 'Liquid Fill',
        data: [{
            name: 'First Data',
            value: 0.6
        }, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3],
        label: {
            normal: {
                formatter: '{a}\n{b}\nValue: {c}',
                fontSize: 28
            }
        }
    }]
};

Label text of this example is 'Liquid Fill\nFirst Data\nValue: 0.6'.

Run

This has the same result as using formatter as a function:

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        name: 'Liquid Fill',
        data: [{
            name: 'First Data',
            value: 0.6
        }, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3],
        label: {
            normal: {
                formatter: function(param) {
                    return param.seriesName + '\n'
                        + param.name + '\n'
                        + 'Value:' + param.value;
                },
                fontSize: 28
            }
        }
    }]
};

Run

Text position is at the center by default. label.normal.position can be set to be 'inside', 'left', 'right', 'top', 'bottom', or horizontal and vertical positions like ['10%', '20%'], which means '10%' to the left (controlled by label.normal.align, which can be 'left', 'center', or 'right') and '20%' to the top (controlled by label.normal.baseline, which can be 'top', 'middle', or 'bottom').

Shadow

By default, waves and outline have shadow on them. Here's how to change them.

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        data: [0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3],
        itemStyle: {
            normal: {
                shadowBlur: 0
            }
        },
        outline: {
            borderDistance: 0,
            itemStyle: {
                borderWidth: 5,
                borderColor: '#156ACF',
                shadowBlur: 20,
                shadowColor: 'rgba(255, 0, 0, 1)'
            }
        }
    }]
};

Run

Tooltip

To add tooltip:

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        data: [0.6],
        name: 'Liquid Fill'
    }],
    tooltip: {
        show: true
    }
};

Run

Click Event

To add click event on waves:

chart.setOption(option);
chart.on('click', function() {
    console.log(arguments);
    // do something useful here
});

Like any other chart types, the above code will only trigger events on waves. If you want to track events on the whole canvas or specific elements, you may add listener to zrender like:

chart.getZr().on('click', function() {
       console.log(arguments);
});

Non-interactable

To make an element (e.g., a wave) non-interactable, simply set silent to be true.

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        data: [0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3],
        silent: true
    }]
};

            baseline: 'middle'
            position: 'inside'
        }
    }
}

data {(number|Object)[]}

Value of each data item should be between 0 and 1.

The data item can also be an object to configure the option for a single item.

var option = {
    series: [{
        type: 'liquidFill',
        data: [0.6, {
            value: 0.5,
