Flot plugin that shows extra comments to the flot chart. There are several types of comments:
- tooltip: Show the data point value (x, y) when mouse over a data point;
- comment: A callout style textbox that always shows at the specified position;
- sidenote: Texts that shows at the right side of the chart that only associated with the y-axis coordinate.
Usage:
Inside the <head></head>
area of your html page, add the following lines:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://zizhujy.com/Scripts/flot/jquery.flot.comment.js"></script>
pass your comments, sidenotes to the options object when you draw the flot chart by $.plot():
var options = {
comment: {
show: true
},
comments: [
{
x: -2,
y: 1,
contents: "this point 1"
},
...
],
sidenote: {
show: true
},
sidenotes: [
{
y: -4,
contents: "Low Level",
offsetX: 0,
offsetY: 0,
maxWidth: 0.15
},
...
]
};
$.plot("#canvas-wrapper", data, options);
