Dynamic Flot graph - show hide series by clicking on legend text or box on graph

Question

I am working on dynamic flot graph with 3 series. My need is to hide/show series when clicked on legend. I have seen different examples that will work fine for static graphs

Answer 1

Here's a quick example I put together for you.

somePlot = null;

togglePlot = function(seriesIdx)
{
  var someData = somePlot.getData();
  someData[seriesIdx].lines.show = !someData[seriesIdx].lines.show;
  somePlot.setData(someData);
  somePlot.draw();
}

var data = [
    {
    label: 'foo',
    color: 'red',
    data: [[1, 300], [2, 300], [3, 300], [4, 300], [5, 300]],
      idx: 0},
{
    label: 'bar',
    color: 'blue',
    data: [[1, 800], [2, 600], [3, 400], [4, 200], [5, 0]],
      idx: 1},
{
    label: 'baz',
    color: 'yellow',
    data: [[1, 100], [2, 200], [3, 300], [4, 400], [5, 500]],
      idx: 2},
{
    label: 'dart',
    color: 'green',
    data: [[1, 500], [2, 350], [3, 400], [4, 700], [5, 50]],
      idx: 3}
    ];

somePlot = $.plot($("#placeholder"), data, {
    series: {
        lines: {
            show: true
        }
    },
    legend: {
        labelFormatter: function(label, series){
          return ''+label+'';
        }
    }
});
