Annotated time series

Highlight notable points along an ordered time trend.

Chart ID: annotatedTimeSeries. Independent import: @revolist/charts/annotated-time-series.

Loading chart…

Follow ordered observations with value annotations and supported chart references. Supply explicit time-axis configuration when categories represent instants.

Use one category per row and one or more numeric series. Values are finite numbers or explicit nulls; the row mapper does not group or aggregate repeated keys.

The roles below describe the chart's data contract. Generic category/value roles resolve from the dataset; explicitly bind specialized numeric roles as shown in the complete example.

Data roleField count
category1 or more
value1 or more
series1 or more

Download the complete sample data and settings (JSON). See Data & Configuration for mapping, null values, updates and lifecycle rules.

Install the package using the installation guide, give the host an explicit height, and call createAnnotatedTimeSeriesChart after the host mounts. This factory fixes the chart type to annotatedTimeSeries.

<div id="chart" style="width: 100%; height: 450px;"></div>

// When the host unmounts:
// chart.destroy();

Await updates before reading a snapshot or exporting. Call chart.destroy() when the host unmounts. See the live catalog to interact with this type.

Set these fields in chartOptions. The option schema validates supported keys, ranges and choices; updating chartOptions replaces that authored object.

Titles, legends, theme and labels belong to presentation or the corresponding top-level setting. Axis, color, navigation and interaction support depends on the selected chart; see Data & Configuration.

  • Line — Show change and trends across an ordered axis.
  • Smooth line — Show trends with a smooth curve through each value.
  • Stepped line — Show values that remain constant between categories.
  • Small multiples — Compare series in aligned panels with independent scales.
