I have been doing lot research on this memory leak in Google charts library. Didnt found any thing thats helping my situation. Not sure whats the updates on this one so far. I saw google chart dev team is trying to fix it and release a new updates.
I'm using line chart and the data is coming from websockets. which is constantly updating.
Thanks in advance
P.S below is the code I use to getting data from websockets. when the socket is connected the drawChart function is called every second. Meaning the whole line chart is redrawn
function drawVisualization() {
var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
data.addColumn('string', 'data');
data.addColumn('number', 'date');
var data_test = new google.visualization.DataTable();
data_test.addColumn('string', 'data test');
data_test.addColumn('number', 'date test');
for(var i=0; i<valueArr.length; i+=2) {
if (i>=120) {
data.removeRow(0);
valueArr.splice(0, 2);
timeArr.splice(0, 2);
}
data.addRow([timeArr[i], valueArr[i]]);
}
for(var i=1; i<valueArr.length; i+=2) {
if (i>=120) {
data_test.removeRow(0);
valueArr.splice(0, 2);
timeArr.splice(0, 2);
}
data_test.addRow([timeArr[i], valueArr[i]]);
}
//console.log(valueArr);
// use a DataView to 0-out all the values in the data set for the initial draw
var view = new google.visualization.DataView(data);
var view_test = new google.visualization.DataView(data_test);
// Create and draw the plot
var chart = new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById('visualization'));
var chart_test = new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById('visualization_test'));

};
//stay in sockets
var runOnce = google.visualization.events.addListener(chart, 'ready', function () {
google.visualization.events.removeListener(runOnce);
chart.draw(data, options);
chart_test.draw(data, options);
});
chart.draw(view, options);
