Plotly.js is a charting library that comes with over 40 chart types:
3D Charts
SVG Maps...
Formula
Plotly.js is free and open - source under the MIT license.It costs nothing to install and use. You can view the source, report issues and contribute using Github.
Source Code const xArray = ["Italy","France","Spain","USA","Argentina"];
const yArray = [55, 49, 44, 24, 15];
const data = [{
x: xArray, y: yArray, type: "bar", orientation:"v", marker: {color:"rgba(0,0,255)"}
}];
const layout = {title:"World Wide Wine Production"};
Plotly.newPlot("myPlot", data, layout);Source Code const xArray = [55, 49, 44, 24, 15];
const yArray = ["Italy","France","Spain","USA","Argentina"];
const data = [{

}];
const layout = {title:"World Wide Wine Production"};
Plotly.newPlot("myPlot", data, layout);To display a pie instead of bars, change x and y to labels and values, and change the type to "pie":
const data = [{
labels: xArray, values: yArray, type: "pie"
}];To display a donut instead of a pie, add a hole:
const data = [{
labels: xArray, values: yArray, hole: .4, type: "pie"
}];Source Code let exp = "Math.sin(x)";
// Generate values const xValues = [];
const yValues = [];
for (let x = 0; x <= 10; x += 0.1) {
xValues.push(x);
yValues.push(eval(exp));
}
// Display using Plotly const data = [{x:xValues, y:yValues, mode:"lines"}];
const layout = {title: "y = " + exp};
Plotly.newPlot("myPlot", data, layout);To display scatters instead, change mode to markers: // Display using Plotly const data = [{x:xValues, y:yValues, mode:"markers"
}];
const layout = {title: "y = " + exp};

Plotly.newPlot("myPlot", data, layout);Bubble Plots are Scatter Plots whose markers have variable color, size, and symbols. It is a type of 3-dimensional chart with only two axes (x and y) where the size of the bubble communicates the third dimention.
Source Code const xArray = [1,2,3,4];
const yArray = [10,20,30,40];
const trace1 = {
x: xArray, y: yArray, mode: 'markers', marker: {
color: ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'orange'], size: [20, 30, 40, 50]
}
};
const data = [trace1];
const layout = {
title: "Plotting Bubbles"
};

// Generate values const xValues = [];
const yValues = [];
for (let x = 0; x <= 10; x += 1) {

xValues.push(x);
}
// Define Data const data = [{

}];
// Define Layout const layout = {title: "y = " + exp};// Display using Plotly
Plotly.newPlot("myPlot", data, layout);Source Code let exp1 = "x";
