ChartDirector 7.0 (PHP Edition)

Pareto Chart




This example demonstrates the pareto chart style.

A pareto chart is a bar chart with the data sorted in descending order, together with a line chart showing the same data in accumulated form. In the current example, the data is shown as both percentages and values on the two y-axes.

The chart in this example is composed of two layers - a BarLayer created using XYChart.addBarLayer, and a LineLayer created using XYChart.addLineLayer.

This example employs the ArrayMath utility class for computing the accumulated line, obtaining the scaling factor between the two y-axes, and re-scaling the line data as percentages.

The two y-axes are synchronized using Axis.syncAxis.
