A combination chart combines two or more series types allowing for flexible data visualisations. They are ideal for making visual comparisons of different sets of data in a single chart.
Combination Series Types Copy Link
It is possible to create Combination Charts using the following series types: bar, line, area, scatter and bubble.
The type property must be specified explicitly on each individual series object in the series options array, as shown below:
{
series: [
{
type: 'bar', // use 'bar' series
xKey: 'year',
yKey: 'men',
// ...other series options
},
{
type: 'line', // use 'line' series
xKey: 'year',
yKey: 'portions',
// ...other series options
},
],
}The snippet above shows the configuration required for a combination chart consisting of a bar and line series.
The example below demonstrates two common combination chart types. You can switch between these two combination chart types using the buttons above the chart. Please note:
- Series are rendered according to the order in which they are added in the
seriesarray. - The area and line series are plotted on a Secondary Axis with a different scale.
