Can you help me how to extend Chart.js v2.0. I need to draw some horizontal lines in the charts, something similar to: http://jsfiddle.net/vsh6tcfd/3/
var originalLineDraw = Chart.controllers.bar.prototype.draw;
Chart.helpers.extend(Chart.controllers.bar.prototype, {
draw: function() {
originalLineDraw.apply(this, arguments);
var chart = this.chart;
var ctx = chart.chart.ctx;
var index = chart.config.data.lineAtIndex;
if (index) {
var xaxis = chart.scales['x-axis-0'];
var yaxis = chart.scales['y-axis-0'];
ctx.save();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(xaxis.getPixelForValue(undefined, index), yaxis.left);
ctx.strokeStyle = '#ff0000';
ctx.lineTo(xaxis.getPixelForValue(undefined, index), yaxis.right);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.restore();
}
}
});
var config = {
type: type,
data: jQuery.extend(true, {}, data),
options: this.chartdata.options,
lineAtIndex: 2
};
new Chart(ctx, config);
With chart.js you have 2 options.
Option 2 would be the one I recommend as it allows you to have more control over the appearance of the lines.
Chart.js now supports plugins. This allows you to add any features you want to your charts!
To create a plugin you will need to run code after an event has occurred and modify the chart/canvas as needed. The following code should give you a good starting point:
var horizonalLinePlugin = {
afterDraw: function(chartInstance) {
var yValue;
var yScale = chartInstance.scales["y-axis-0"];
var canvas = chartInstance.chart;
var ctx = canvas.ctx;
var index;
var line;
var style;
if (chartInstance.options.horizontalLine) {
for (index = 0; index < chartInstance.options.horizontalLine.length; index++) {
line = chartInstance.options.horizontalLine[index];
if (!line.style) {
style = "rgba(169,169,169, .6)";
} else {
style = line.style;
}
if (line.y) {
yValue = yScale.getPixelForValue(line.y);
} else {
yValue = 0;
}
ctx.lineWidth = 3;
if (yValue) {
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(0, yValue);
ctx.lineTo(canvas.width, yValue);
ctx.strokeStyle = style;
ctx.stroke();
}
if (line.text) {
ctx.fillStyle = style;
ctx.fillText(line.text, 0, yValue + ctx.lineWidth);
}
}
return;
}
}
};
Chart.pluginService.register(horizonalLinePlugin);
