How to Create JavaScript Area Chart

October 28th, 2017 by Timothy Loginov

How to Create a JavaScript Area Chart and Customize ItWant to know how to build a JavaScript area chart? This article will show you how to do that and tell you who invented area charts in the late 18th century.

The area chart is one of the basic charts used to show changes in data over time. The key feature of this chart type is a colored area between the horizontal X-axis and the line marking the changing value. It can be filled with a color, gradient color, or with a hatch fill.

Look at the chart on the title image. That’s the data visualization being created along the tutorial. Such a JavaScript-based area chart will be interactive and good-looking in any browser, on any website and in any app in HTML5. All samples used in the article are available in our collection on CodePen.
