Patterns

Overview

ZingChart offers a patterns module containing 42 unique patterns. This module gives you the ability to add these patterns to objects within your chart.

Using Pattern Modules

In order to render a pattern, you must include the zingchart.loadModules() function within your page script. This loads the patterns module.

zingchart.loadModules('patterns')

Then, set the pattern within an object's "background-image" attribute using one of the pattern names with the "PATTERN_" prefix.

type: 'bar',
title: {
    text: "Patterns"
},
series: [
    {
        values: [3,5,8,4,2,6],
        'background-image': "PATTERN_BACKWARD_DIAGONAL"
    },
    {
        values: [4,2,3,5,8,6],
        'background-image': "PATTERN_HORIZONTAL_BRICK"
    },
    {
        values: [3,8,4,5,6,2],
        'background-image': "PATTERN_OUTLINED_DIAMOND"
    }
]
