Line, bar and pie charts
Updated 5 days ago to v32.0.2 by Flourish team
How to use this template
How to get started
Upload data with one column containing “labels” (category names, years, etc) and one or more numerical columns of “values” (each of which becomes a line on a line chart, a series of bars on a bar chart, etc). Here's what your data might look like.
| Year | London | Paris | Berlin |
| 2010 | 1 | 4 | 3 |
| 2020 | 0 | 3 | 6 |
Making a grid of charts
You can use the “Grid of charts” option to display each series in your data on its own mini chart – a visualisation technique called “small multiples”. Data can also be divided into mini charts by specifying a “Charts grid” column. In this case, there will be one chart for each unique value in the selected column. This is useful if your data is arranged in this way, or if you want to create a grid with multiple series on each chart.
FAQ
How do I change the color of some of the bars, but not all of them? First, make sure you’re using a “bar” or "column" chart. Then, under "Chart styles", choose "Shade by row". Finally, specify the colors you want for each row under "Custom colors". (If you'd like to have all the bars the same color except for one or two, a shortcut is first to customise the palette so that there's only one color.)
Tips
- You can use custom colors by typing them as a comma-separated list in to the “Color scheme or custom colors” menu. You can use any named CSS color or hexcode.
- With a grid of line or bar charts, you can choose whether to have the same y axis for all the charts (good for comparing absolute numbers) or to have each chart set its own y-axis based on the data it contains (best for comparing the shape of each series).
- If you make different views of your data and save them as separate visualisations, you can animate between the charts in the Flourish story editor.

API information
This section documents API usage specific to this template, so for an introduction we suggest you refer to the generic API documentation instead.
template: @flourish/line-bar-pie
version: 32
Template data
There are three different formats in which you can supply data to this template. The most convenient for you to use likely depends on the source of your data, as described below.
1. Array of arrays, and a bindings object
You can supply arrays of arrays to opts.data, which might look
like:
{
data: {
data: [
[ "DataColumn1Value1", "DataColumn2Value1",
[ "DataColumn1Value2", "DataColumn2Value2",
[ "DataColumn1Value3", "DataColumn2Value3",
...
]
}
}
where each array of arrays represents the rows in a data sheet.
To tell the API how the values from each column should be
associated with the keys that the template is expecting, you must also supply
an object attached to opts.bindings. (The meanings of the
keys in the bindings object are documented
below.) The minimal bindings you can
supply for this template are as shown in this example:
{
template: "@flourish/line-bar-pie",
version: "32",
bindings: {
data: {
label: 0, // index of a column in your data
}
},
data: {
data: [
[ "DataColumn1Value1", "DataColumn2Value1",
[ "DataColumn1Value2", "DataColumn2Value2",
[ "DataColumn1Value3", "DataColumn2Value3",
...
]
}
}
All possible bindings that you can supply are shown in this example:
{
template: "@flourish/line-bar-pie",
version: "32",
bindings: {
data: {
label: 0, // index of a column in your data
value: [1, 2, ...], // index(es) of column(s) in your data
facet: 3, // index of a column in your data
filter: 4, // index of a column in your data
metadata: [5, 6, ...], // index(es) of column(s) in your data
}
},
data: {
data: [
[ "DataColumn1Value1", "DataColumn2Value1",
[ "DataColumn1Value2", "DataColumn2Value2",
[ "DataColumn1Value3", "DataColumn2Value3",
...
]
}
}
2. Array of objects with arbitrary keys, and a bindings object
This format is most likely useful when you have data from an external source,
such as CSV data loaded from d3-dsv.
You should supply this attached to the opts.data, which might look
like:
{
data: [
{ "DataHeader1": ..., "DataHeader2": ..., ... },
{ "DataHeader1": ..., "DataHeader2": ..., ... },
{ "DataHeader1": ..., "DataHeader2": ..., ... },
...
]
}
... but with the keys being the column headers from your
source data instead. You must also supply an object attached to
opts.bindings. The minimal bindings you can
supply for this template are as shown in this example:
{
template: "@flourish/line-bar-pie",
version: "32",
bindings: {
data: {
label: "DataHeader1",
}
},
data: {
data: [
{ "DataHeader1": ..., "DataHeader2": ..., ... },
{ "DataHeader1": ..., "DataHeader2": ..., ... },
{ "DataHeader1": ..., "DataHeader2": ..., ... },
...
]
}
}
All possible bindings that you can supply are shown in this example:
{
template: "@flourish/line-bar-pie",
version: "32",
bindings: {
data: {
label: "DataHeader1",
value: ["DataHeader2", "DataHeader3", ...],
facet: "DataHeader4",
filter: "DataHeader5",
metadata: ["DataHeader6", "DataHeader7", ...],
}
},
data: {
data: [
{ "DataHeader1": ..., "DataHeader2": ..., ... },
{ "DataHeader1": ..., "DataHeader2": ..., ... },
{ "DataHeader1": ..., "DataHeader2": ..., ... },
...
]
}
}
(As before, the keys containing "Header" would be replaced by column names from your data source.)
3. Array of objects with template-defined keys
There is an alternative format you can use, which is likely to be easier to
use if your data is not from a spreadsheet source. With this alternative format
you supply your data to the template as
an array of objects, attached to opts.data, where the keys must
be those used by the template, as documented below. In this case
there is no need to supply a bindings object, since the key names are already
those expected by the template. The required properties in the data
object are as follows (scroll down for a
description of what each property is):
{
template: "@flourish/line-bar-pie",
version: "32",
data: {
data: [
{
label: ...,
value: [...],
metadata: [...]
},
...
]
},
...
}
And the full list of all possible properties is as follows:
{
template: "@flourish/line-bar-pie",
version: "32",
data: {
data: [
{
label: ...,
value: [...],
facet: ...,
filter: ...,
metadata: [...]
},
...
]
},
...
}
Meanings of the template data keys:
- data.label: A column of names, numbers or datetimes. string, datetime, number
- data.value: One or more columns of numbers. The 'Preferred output format' of the first column is used to format values. number
- data.facet: If specified and <a href="https://help.flourish.studio/article/266-how-to-create-a-grid-of-charts"><b>Grid of charts</b></a> view is on, creates a separate mini chart for each value found in the column string
- data.filter: Use this column to create a user-facing row control. To create a column filter, use the <a href="https://help.flourish.studio/article/573-how-row-and-column-filters-work"><b>Series filter</b></a> option in the settings panel instead string, datetime, number
- data.metadata: One or more columns of information (text, <a href="https://help.flourish.studio/article/46-how-to-add-images-to-your-visualization"><b>image URLs</b></a>, <a href="https://help.flourish.studio/article/259-how-to-embed-charts-in-your-popups-or-panels"><b>embedded charts</b></a> etc) to include in custom <a href="https://help.flourish.studio/article/69-how-to-add-custom-content-to-your-popups"><b>popups and panels</b></a>. string, datetime, number
Template metadata
Note: metadata is optional, and the API will interpret your data for you if you do not specify it. A typical example of when specifying metadata can be useful is when column(s) in your data contain numbers or dates that you wish to format visually (e.g. to display a column containing MM/DD/YYYY dates in DD/MM/YYYY format).
This template supports an optional metadata property. metadata informs the template what type of data is in each of your columns, and how that data should be formatted visually.
You can specify metadata in one of three formats, depending on the format of opts.data.
1. Array of objects with column indexes as keys
You should supply metadata in this format when opts.data is in the previously described 'array of arrays' format. In this case, metadata should be an object with column index: column type object key/value pairs (column type objects must have type, type_id, and output_format_id keys, documented below):
{
template: "@flourish/line-bar-pie",
version: "32",
...
data: {
data: [
[ "DataColumn1Value1", "DataColumn2Value1",
[ "DataColumn1Value2", "DataColumn2Value2",
[ "DataColumn1Value3", "DataColumn2Value3",
...
]
},
metadata: {
data: {
0: { type: ..., type_id: ..., output_format_id: ... },
1: { type: ..., type_id: ..., output_format_id: ... },
}
},
...
}
2. Array of objects with column headers as keys
You should supply metadata in this format when opts.data is in the previously described 'array of objects with arbitrary keys' format. In this case, metadata should be an object with column header: column type object key/value pairs (column type objects must have type, type_id, and output_format_id keys, documented below):
{
template: "@flourish/line-bar-pie",
version: "32",
data: {
data: [
{ "DataHeader1": ..., "DataHeader2": ..., ... },
{ "DataHeader1": ..., "DataHeader2": ..., ... },
{ "DataHeader1": ..., "DataHeader2": ..., ... },
...
]
},
metadata: {
data: {
"DataHeader1": { type: ..., type_id: ..., output_format_id: ... },
"DataHeader2": { type: ..., type_id: ..., output_format_id: ... },
}
},
...
}
Column type objects:
Column type objects tell the API what type of data is in a column:
{
type: "number", // options also include 'string', and 'datetime'
type_id: "number$comma_point", // numbers in the format 13,429.17
output_format_id: "number$space_comma", // numbers in the format 13 429,17
}
For more information on valid column type values, see Recognized Type Formats.
