Bar Chart (JavaScript)

A bar chart based on the NVD3 library.

The node supports custom CSS styling. You can simply put CSS rules into a single string and set it as a flow variable 'customCSS' in the node configuration dialog. You will find the list of available classes and their description on our documentation page.

Options

Category Column: Select the column that contains the category values.
Sort bars alphabetically: When checked the bars are sorted alphabetically with respect to their label derived from the category column. If not checked the order is derived from the first appearance of the value in the input table.
Aggregation Method: Select the aggregation method used on the selected frequency columns. In case of Occurence Count the occurence of the unique values of the selected category columns are determined.
Frequency columns: Select the columns with frequencies for which you wish to plot bars. Note: Missing values in the frequency column will be ignored with a corresponding warning message.
If, after aggregation, some bars or entire categories contain only missing values, they will be excluded from the view and a warning message will be raised.
Process in memory: Process the table in the memory. Requires more memory but is faster since the table needs not to be sorted prior aggregation. The memory consumption depends on the number of unique groups and the chosen aggregation method.
Report on missing values: Check to get the detailed warning messages in the view about missing values and enable 'Missing values' category. If not checked, missing values will be ignored without raising a warning. 'Missing values' category will not be present.
Include 'Missing values' category: If checked, missing values in the category column will form a separate class named "Missing values". Otherwise they will be ignored.
