README

@nebula.js/sn-waterfall

The waterfall chart is suitable for illustrating how an initial value is affected by intermediate positive and negative values. The starting and the final values are represented by whole bars, and intermediate values by floating bars. You can also show subtotals in the chart.

Requirements

Requires @nebula.js/stardust version 1.4.0 or later.

Installing

If you use npm: npm install @nebula.js/sn-waterfall. You can also load through the script tag directly from https://unpkg.com.

Usage

In a waterfall chart you need to use one measure for each bar in the chart. The order of the measures defines the order of the bars in the chart. For each measure, you need to define how it affects the previous value. You can add up to 30 measures in a waterfall chart.

You can use the Measure operation option (Add/Subtract/Subtotals) of each measure to set how it affects the previous value by setting valueType property to NORMAL/INVERSE/SUBTOTAL.

  • Add. The measure value adds to the previous bar. If this is the first measure, a whole bar is shown starting at 0. Setting valueType to NORMAL.

  • Subtract. The measure value subtracts from the previous bar. Setting valueType to INVERSE.

  • Subtotals. The measure value is considered a subtotal. Setting valueType to SUBTOTAL.

Colors

You can set the presentation color for the different measure operations: Positive value color, Negative value color or Subtotal color
