Question

In the following fiddle:

http://jsfiddle.net/jamitzky/9x7aJ/

How can I make the graph's width change if the window width changes?

code:

$(function () {
var d1 = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 14; i += 0.5)
    d1.push([i, Math.sin(i)]);

var d2 = [[0, 3], [4, 8], [8, 5], [9, 13]];

// a null signifies separate line segments
var d3 = [[0, 12], [7, 12], null, [7, 2.5], [12, 2.5]];

$.plot($("#placeholder"), [ d1, d2, d3 ]);
});

I had the same problem and the solution was:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://people.iola.dk/olau/flot/jquery.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://people.iola.dk/olau/flot/jquery.flot.js"></script>

<script src="./jquery.flot.axislabels.js"></script>

Just use some css. Any modern browser can use (inline, stylesheet):

<div id="chart" style="width: 100%!important"></div>

Try something like this:

Flot will auto draw to the container it's in. So if your div is responsive Flot will be responsive.

then all you have to do is redraw the flot if your window resizes:

You can watch to see if the window resizes with:

    window.onresize = function(event) {
    ...
}

(see: JavaScript window resize event)

Also there's a official flot resize plugin

Answer 5

Just include jquery.flot.resize.min.js script from https://github.com/flot/flot in your page. It will become responsive.
