Geometry

In Vizzu you can set the geometric elements used to represent your data by the geometry property within the config object. This is where the library shines - beautifully animating between the geometries!

Switching the geometry to area.

Info - How to setup Vizzu

In HTML, create a placeholder element that will contain the rendered chart.

<html>
 <body>
  <div id="myVizzu">
  </div>
 </body>
</html>

In JavaScript, initialize and configure the chart:

import Vizzu from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vizzu@0.7/dist/vizzu.min.js'
import data from 'https://lib.vizzuhq.com/0.7/assets/data/music_data.js'

let chart = new Vizzu('myVizzu')

chart.initializing

chart.animate({
    data: data,
    config: {
        channels: {
            y: {
                set: ['Popularity']
            },
            x: {
                set: ['Genres']
            },
        },
    }
})
chart.animate({
    config: {
        geometry: 'area',
    }
})

Drawing a line chart.

chart.animate({
    config: {
        geometry: 'line',
    }
})

Switching the geometry to circle. This setting is the most useful when used together with the size channel, as shown in the next chapter of the tutorial.

chart.animate({
    config: {
        geometry: 'circle',
    }
})

Rectangle geometry is the default setting in Vizzu, used for most common charts like bar and column charts.

chart.animate({
    config: {
        geometry: 'rectangle',
    }
})
