I am working with google line charts and angularjs directive in my project, I am searching how to get vertical lines on hover like Google Trends instead put a fixed lines, but I can't find how to do this.
This is that I want trying to do:
I just got hide vertical lines but not show on mouse hover, this is my options for angular-google-chart directive
options: {
vAxis: {
title: 'My title',
gridlines: {
count: 10
}
},
hAxis: {
title: 'title hAxis',
gridlines: {
color: 'transparent'
}
}
}
there are no standard config options for this, but you could add your own line on hover...
see following working snippet for an example...
google.charts.load('current', {
callback: drawChart,
packages: ['corechart']
});
function drawChart() {
var dataTable = new google.visualization.DataTable({
cols: [
{id: 'x', label: 'Date', type: 'date'},
{id: 'y', label: 'Fn', type: 'number'}
]
});
var formatDate = new google.visualization.DateFormat({
pattern: 'MMM d, yyyy'
});
var oneDay = (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
var startDate = new Date(2016, 1, 21);
var endDate = new Date();
var ticksAxisH = [];
for (var i = startDate.getTime(); i < endDate.getTime(); i = i + oneDay) {
// x = date
var rowDate = new Date(i);
var xValue = {
v: rowDate,
f: formatDate.formatValue(rowDate)
};
// y = 2x + 8
var yValue = (2 * ((i - startDate.getTime()) / oneDay) + 8);
// add data row
dataTable.addRow([
xValue,
yValue
]);
// add tick every 90 days
if ((((i - startDate.getTime()) / oneDay) % 90) === 0) {
ticksAxisH.push(xValue);
}
}
var container = document.getElementById('chart_div');
var chart = new google.visualization.ChartWrapper({
chartType: 'LineChart',
dataTable: dataTable,
options: {
hAxis: {
gridlines: {
color: 'transparent'
},
ticks: ticksAxisH,
title: 'title hAxis'
},
tooltip: {
isHtml: true
},
vAxis: {
gridlines: {
count: 10
},
title: 'My title'
}
}
});
// add hover line
google.visualization.events.addOneTimeListener(chart, 'ready', function () {
var svgParent = container.getElementsByTagName('svg')[0];
var layout = chart.getChart().getChartLayoutInterface();
var lineHeight = layout.getBoundingBox('chartarea').height - 18;
var lineTop = layout.getBoundingBox('chartarea').top;
var hoverLine = container.getElementsByTagName('rect')[0].cloneNode(true);
hoverLine.setAttribute('y', lineTop);
hoverLine.setAttribute('height', lineHeight);
hoverLine.setAttribute('width', '1');
hoverLine.setAttribute('stroke', 'none');
hoverLine.setAttribute('stroke-width', '0');
hoverLine.setAttribute('fill', '#cccccc');
google.visualization.events.addListener(chart.getChart(), 'onmouseover', function (p) {
if (p.row !== null) {
var xPos = layout.getXLocation(dataTable.getValue(p.row, 0));
svgParent.appendChild(hoverLine);
hoverLine.setAttribute('x', xPos);
}
});
google.visualization.events.addListener(chart.getChart(), 'onmouseout', function (p) {
if (p.row !== null) {
svgParent.removeChild(hoverLine);
}
});
});
chart.draw(container);
}

<div id="chart_div"></div>
Thanks to @WhiteHat in his previous answer, I have adjusted his code to use it with angular-google-charts in an angular 1.5 component, this is my approach:
Angular-google-charts have some directives to attach custom events like mouseover, mouseout, ready etc, Example:
<div google-chart agc-on-mouseover="$ctrl.onMouseOver(row, column)"
chart="$ctrl.data" agc-on-ready="$ctrl.onReady(chartWrapper)" agc-on-mouseout="$ctrl.onMouseOut(row, column)>
</div>
If you can see, I have added agc-on-ready, agc-on-mouseover and agc-on-mouseout this directives allow me to attach my custom functions to these events.
Using @WhiteHat solutions my functions are here:
self.onMouseOver = function (row, column) {
if (row !== null) {
var dataTable=self.chartWrapper.getDataTable();
var xPos = self.layout.getXLocation(dataTable.getValue(row, 0));
self.svgParent.appendChild(self.hoverLine);
self.hoverLine.setAttribute('x', xPos);
// This line is neccesary to move the line under the tooltip
self.svgParent.insertBefore(self.hoverLine, self.svgParent.children[4]);
}
}
self.onMouseOut = function (row, column) {
if (row !== null) {
self.svgParent.removeChild(self.hoverLine);
}
}
self.onReady = function (chartWrapper) {
// Define vars for draw vertical line on hoverLine
self.chartWrapper = chartWrapper;
// Getting container from chartWrapper.getContainerId()
var container = angular.element(chartWrapper.getContainerId());
self.svgParent = container[0].getElementsByTagName('svg')[0];
self.layout = chartWrapper.getChart().getChartLayoutInterface();
self.lineHeight = self.layout.getBoundingBox('chartarea').height - 18;
self.lineTop = self.layout.getBoundingBox('chartarea').top;
self.hoverLine = container[0].getElementsByTagName('rect')[0].cloneNode(true);
self.hoverLine.setAttribute('y', self.lineTop);
self.hoverLine.setAttribute('z', 100);
self.hoverLine.setAttribute('height', self.lineHeight);
self.hoverLine.setAttribute('width', '1');
self.hoverLine.setAttribute('stroke', 'none');
self.hoverLine.setAttribute('stroke-width', '0');
self.hoverLine.setAttribute('fill', '#cccccc');
};
I hope you find it useful and your comments to improve this implementation.
