Annotation Google Chart API

Question

i'm trying to use Google Chart API for building an Waterfall chart. I noticed that Candlestick/Waterfall charts are not supporting the annotations.

See this jsfiddle sample

google.charts.load('current', {'packages':['corechart']});
  google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
  function drawChart() {
    var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
            data.addColumn('string', 'Category');
    data.addColumn('number', 'MinimumLevel');
    data.addColumn('number', 'MinimumLevel1');
    data.addColumn('number', 'MaximumLevel');
    data.addColumn('number', 'MaximumLevel1');
    data.addColumn({type: 'number', role: 'tooltip'});
    data.addColumn({type: 'string', role: 'style'});
    data.addColumn({type: 'number', role: 'annotation'});

    data.addRow(['Category 1', 0 , 0, 5, 5, 5,'gray',5]);
    data.addRow(['Category 2', 5 , 5, 10, 10, 10,'red',10]);
    data.addRow(['Category 3', 10 , 10, 15, 15, 15,'blue',15]);
    data.addRow(['Category 4', 15 , 15, 10, 10, 10,'yellow',10]);
    data.addRow(['Category 5', 10 , 10, 5, 5, 5,'gray',5]);

    var options = {
      legend: 'none',
      bar: { groupWidth: '60%' } // Remove space between bars.
    };

    var chart = new google.visualization.CandlestickChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
    chart.draw(data, options);
  }

I would like to put the value of the 5th column at the top of every candlestick. It should look like this :

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Answer 1

just so happens, i ran into the same problem this week

so I added my own annotations, during the 'animationfinish' event

see following working snippet...

google.charts.load('current', {
  callback: drawChart,
  packages:['corechart']
});

function drawChart() {
  var dataChart = new google.visualization.DataTable({"cols":[{"label":"Category","type":"string"},{"label":"Bottom 1","type":"number"},{"label":"Bottom 2","type":"number"},{"label":"Top 1","type":"number"},{"label":"Top 2","type":"number"},{"role":"style","type":"string","p":{"role":"style"}}],"rows":[{"c":[{"v":"Budget"},{"v":0},{"v":0},{"v":22707893.613},{"v":22707893.613},{"v":"#007fff"}]},{"c":[{"v":"Contract Labor"},{"v":22707893.613},{"v":22707893.613},{"v":22534350.429},{"v":22534350.429},{"v":"#1e8449"}]},{"c":[{"v":"Contract Non Labor"},{"v":22534350.429},{"v":22534350.429},{"v":22930956.493},{"v":22930956.493},{"v":"#922b21"}]},{"c":[{"v":"Materials and Equipment"},{"v":22930956.493},{"v":22930956.493},{"v":22800059.612},{"v":22800059.612},{"v":"#1e8449"}]},{"c":[{"v":"Other"},{"v":22800059.612},{"v":22800059.612},{"v":21993391.103},{"v":21993391.103},{"v":"#1e8449"}]},{"c":[{"v":"Labor"},{"v":21993391.103},{"v":21993391.103},{"v":21546003.177999996},{"v":21546003.177999996},{"v":"#1e8449"}]},{"c":[{"v":"Travel"},{"v":21546003.177999996},{"v":21546003.177999996},{"v":21533258.930999994},{"v":21533258.930999994},{"v":"#1e8449"}]},{"c":[{"v":"Training"},{"v":21533258.930999994},{"v":21533258.930999994},{"v":21550964.529999994},{"v":21550964.529999994},{"v":"#922b21"}]},{"c":[{"v":"Actual"},{"v":0},{"v":0},{"v":21550964.52999999},{"v":21550964.52999999},{"v":"#007fff"}]}]});
