Recently, I am working on a project in which I have to create some charts and graphs in a website.As we know that Graphs are very useful in displaying data visually rather than displaying data in tables. Using Chart.js, we can draw charts and graphs on webpage using HTML5 canvas element. We can create six types of charts using chart.js
Let's Start
Firstly, we have to go http://www.chartjs.org/ for downloading chart.js Javascript plugin. Clicking on download button will take you to GitHub page from where you can download the archive.

Firstly, we have to go http://www.chartjs.org/ for downloading chart.js Javascript plugin. Clicking on download button will take you to GitHub page from where you can download the archive.
After Extracting the files Chart.js-master.rar file, you will be able to find documentation, examples and chart.js file. Add chart.js javascript library into your document in between head tag.
<script src="js/Chart.min.js"></script>
I am using minified version of chart.js. Add <canvas> element with height,width and unique id.
Example 1:
In first Example we are going to create Pie Chart using chart.js. For creating pie chart, a variable array(named pieChartData) declared which contain value and color properties. Set the values and color depanding upon your chart.
Chart.js provide various option for changing animation and look. You can change these options according to your wish.
For creating chart, we have to initialize chart class and pass our canvas element and "2D" drawing context and call the pie method.
<!Doctype HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>Pie Chart</title>
<script src="js/Chart.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<canvas id="pieChartLoc" height="300" width="300"></canvas>
<script>
var pieChartData = [
{
value: 50,
color: "lightblue"
},
{
value: 10,
color: "red"
},
{
value: 40,
color: "green"
}
]
var myLine = new Chart(document.getElementById("pieChartLoc").getContext("2d")).Pie(pieChartData);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Example 2: Creating the Doughnut Chart
Doughnut chart looks much similar to pie chart except they have the centre cut out. Everything is similar to above process except we have to call doughnut method this time.
<!Doctype HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>Doughnut Chart</title>
<script src="js/Chart.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<canvas id="doughNutChartLoc" height="300" width="300"></canvas>
<script>
var DoughNutChartData = [
{
value: 50,
color: "lightblue"
},
{
value: 10,
color: "red"
},
{
value: 40,
color: "green"
}
]
var myDoughnut = new Chart(document.getElementById("doughNutChartLoc").getContext("2d")).Doughnut(DoughNutChartData);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Preview:
Example 3: Creating the Bar Chart
For creating Bar chart, we have to labels( displayed on x-axis) and datasets( contains information about fillColor, strokeColor and data which is basically value on y-axis)
<!Doctype HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>Bar Chart</title>
<script src="js/Chart.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<canvas id="barChartLoc" height="300" width="300"></canvas>
<script>
var barChartLocData = {
labels: ["January", "Feburary", "March"],
datasets: [{ fillColor: "lightblue", strokeColor: "blue", data: [15, 20, 35] }]
};
var mybarChartLoc = new Chart(document.getElementById("barChartLoc").getContext("2d")).Bar(barChartLocData);
</script>
</body>
</html>
