<h1>Graph2d documentation</h1>
<h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2>
<p>
Graph2d is an interactive visualization chart to draw data in a 2D graph.
You can freely move and zoom in the graph by dragging and scrolling in the
window.
</p>
<p>
Graph2d uses HTML DOM and SVG for rendering. This allows for flexible
customization using css styling.

The following code shows how to create a Graph2d and provide it with data.
More examples can be found in the <a href="../examples">examples</a> directory.

var dataset = new vis.DataSet(items);
var options = {
start: '2014-06-10',

};
var Graph2d = new vis.Graph2d(container, dataset, options);
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</pre>
<h2 id="Loading">Loading</h2>
<p>
The class name of the Graph2d is <code>vis.Graph2d</code>.
When constructing a Graph2d, an HTML DOM container must be provided to attach
the graph to. Optionally, data an options can be provided.
Data is a vis <code>DataSet</code> or an <code>Array</code>, described in
section <a href="#Data_Format">Data Format</a>.
Options is a name-value map in the JSON format. The available options
are described in section <a href="#Configuration_Options">Configuration Options</a>.
Groups is a vis <code>DataSet</code> containing groups. The available options and the method of construction
are described in section <a href="#Group_Options">Data Format</a>.
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var graph = new vis.Graph2d(container [, data] [, options] [,groups]);</pre>
<p>
Data, options and groups can be set or changed later on using the functions
<code>Graph2d.setData(data)</code>, <code>Graph2d.setOptions(options)</code> and <code>Graph2d.setGroups(groups)</code>.
</p>
<h2 id="Data_Format">Data Format</h2>
<p>
Graph2d can load data from an <code>Array</code>, a <code>DataSet</code> or a <code>DataView</code>.
JSON objects are added to this DataSet by using the <code>add()</code> function.
Data points must have properties <code>x</code>, <code>y</code>, and <code>z</code>,
and can optionally have a property <code>style</code> and <code>filter</code>.
<p>
Graph2d can be provided with two types of data:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#items">Items</a> containing a set of points to be displayed.</li>
<li><a href="#groups">Groups</a> containing a set of groups used to group items
together. All items belonging to a group will be drawn as a single graph.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="items">Items</h3>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
var items = [
{x: '2014-06-13', y: 30, group: 0},
{x: '2014-06-14', y: 10, group: 0},
{x: '2014-06-15', y: 15, group: 1},
{x: '2014-06-16', y: 30, group: 1},

<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Type</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>

<tr>
<td>group</td>
<td>number | string</td>
<td>no</td>

</tr>
</table>
<h3 id="groups">Groups</h3>
<p>
Like the items, groups are regular JavaScript Arrays and Objects.
Using groups, items can be grouped together.
Items are filtered per group, and displayed as individual graphs. Groups can contain the properties <code>id</code>,
<code>content</code>, <code>className</code> (optional) and <code>options</code> (optional).
</p>
<p>
Groups can be applied to a timeline using the method <code>setGroups</code>.
A table with groups can be created like:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
var groups = new vis.DataSet();
groups.add({
id: 1,
content: 'Group 1',
// Optional: a field 'visible'
// Optional: a field 'className'
// Optional: options
})
groups.add({
// more groups...
});
</pre>
<p>
Groups can have the following properties:
</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Type</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>id</td>
<td>String | Number</td>
<td>yes</td>
<td>An id for the group. The group will display all items having a
property <code>group</code> which matches the <code>id</code>
of the group.</td>

<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>String</td>
<td>yes</td>
<td>The contents of the group. This can be plain text or html code.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>className</td>
<td>String</td>
<td>no</td>

an individual css style.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td>no</td>
<td>This field is optional. The options can be used to give a group a specific draw style.
Any options that are colored green in the Configuration Options can be used as options here.

<td>Boolean</td>
<td>true</td>
<td>This field is optional. If false, this group will not be drawn.

</table>
<h2 id="Configuration_Options">Configuration Options</h2>
<h3 id="graph2dOptions">Graph2d Options</h3>
Options can be used to customize the Graph2d to your purposes. These options can be passed to the Graph2d object either in
the constructor, or by the <code>setOptions</code> function.
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
var options = {
width: '100%',
height: '400px',
style: 'surface'
};
</pre>
The options colored in green can also be used as options for the groups. All options are optional.

<p>
Graph2d can be localized. For localization, Graph2d depends largely on the localization of <a href="http://momentjs.com">moment.js</a>. Locales are not included in vis.js by default. To enable localization, moment.js must be loaded with locales. Moment.js offers a bundle named "moment-with-locales.min.js" for this and there are various alternative ways to load locales.
</p>
<p>
To set a locale for the Graph2d, specify the option <code>locale</code>:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var options = {
locale: 'nl'
};
</pre>
<h3>Create a new locale</h3>
To load a locale into the Graph2d not supported by default, one can add a new locale to the option <code>locales</code>:
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var options = {
locales: {
// create a new locale
mylocale: {
current: 'current',
time: 'time',
}
},
// use the new locale
locale: 'mylocale'
};
</pre>

<p>
All parts of the Graph2d have a class name and a default css style just like the Graph2d.
The styles can be overwritten, which enables full customization of the layout
of the Graph2d.
</p>
<p>
Additionally, Graph2d has 10 preset styles for graphs, which are cycled through when loading groups. These styles can be overwritten
as well, along with defining your own classes to style the graphs! <a href="../examples/graph2d/04_rightAxis.html">Example 4</a> and
<a href="../examples/graph2d/05_bothAxis.html">example 5</a> show the usage of custom styles.
