#graphs

Type AmGraph[]

The array of graphs belonging to this chart.

#gridAboveGraphs

Type booleanDefault false

Specifies if grid should be drawn above the graphs or below. Will not work properly with 3D charts.

#guides

Type Guide[]Default []

Instead of adding guides to the axes, you can push all of them to this array. In case guide has category or date defined, it will automatically will be assigned to the category axis. Otherwise to first value axis, unless you specify a different valueAxis for the guide.

#sequencedAnimation

Type booleanDefault true

Specifies whether the animation should be sequenced or all objects should appear at once.

#startAlpha

Type numberDefault 1

The initial opacity of the column/line. If you set startDuration to a value higher than 0, the columns/lines will fade in from startAlpha. Value range is 0 - 1.

#startDuration

#accessible

Type booleanDefault trueInherited from AmChart

When enabled, chart adds aria-label attributes to columns, bullets or map objects. You can control values of these labels using properties like accessibleLabel of AmGraph. Note, not all screen readers support these tags. We tested this mostly with NVDA Screen reader. WAI-ARIA is now official W3 standard, so in future more readers will handle this well. We will be improving accessibility on our charts, so we would be glad to hear your feedback.

#accessibleDescription

Type stringInherited from AmChart

Description which will be added to node of SVG element. Most of the screen readers will read this description.

#accessibleTitle

Type stringInherited from AmChart

Description which is added to of a SVG element. Some of the screen readers will read this description.

#addClassNames

Type booleanDefault falseInherited from AmChart

Specifies, if class names should be added to chart elements.

#allLabels

Type Label[]Default []Inherited from AmChart

Array of Labels. Example of label object, with all possible properties:

{"x": 20, "y": 20, "text": "this is label", "align": "left", "size": 12, "color": "#CC0000", "alpha": 1, "rotation": 0, "bold": true, "url": "http://www.amcharts.com"}

#autoDisplay

Type booleanDefault falseInherited from AmChart

If you set it to true the chart will automatically monitor changes of display style of chart’s container (or any of it’s parents) and will render chart correctly if it is changed from none to block. We recommend setting it to true if you change this style at a run time, as it affects performance a bit.

#autoResize

Type booleanDefault trueInherited from AmChart

Set this to false if you don't want chart to resize itself whenever its parent container size changes.

#autoTransform

Type booleanDefault falseInherited from AmChart

If you set it to true and your chart div (or any of the parent div) has css scale applied, the chart will position mouse at a correct position. Default value is false because this operation consumes some CPU and quite a few people are using css transfroms.

#backgroundAlpha

Type numberDefault 0Inherited from AmChart

Opacity of background. Set it to >0 value if you want backgroundColor to work. However we recommend changing div's background-color style for changing background color.

#backgroundColor

Type colorDefault #FFFFFFInherited from AmChart

Background color. You should set backgroundAlpha to >0 value in order background to be visible. We recommend setting background color directly on a chart's DIV instead of using this property.

#balloon

Type AmBalloonDefault AmBalloonInherited from AmChart

The chart creates AmBalloon class itself. If you want to customize balloon, get balloon instance using this property, and then change balloon's properties.

#borderAlpha

Type numberDefault 0Inherited from AmChart

Opacity of chart's border. Value range is 0 - 1.

#borderColor

Type colorDefault #000000Inherited from AmChart

Color of chart's border. You should set borderAlpha >0 in order border to be visible. We recommend setting border color directly on a chart's DIV instead of using this property.

#classNamePrefix

Type stringDefault amchartsInherited from AmChart

This prefix is added to all class names which are added to all visual elements of a chart in case addClassNames is set to true.

#color

Type colorDefault #000000Inherited from AmChart

Text color.

#creditsPosition

Type stringDefault top-leftInherited from AmChart

Non-commercial version only. Specifies position of link to amCharts site. Allowed values are: top-left, top-right, bottom-left and bottom-right.

#dataProvider

Type object[]Inherited from AmChart

Array of data objects, for example: [{country:"US", value:524},{country:"UK", value:624},{country:"Lithuania", value:824}]. You can have any number of fields and use any field names. In case of AmMap, data provider should be MapData object.

The data set data.

Important: if you are using date/time-based category axis, the data points needs to come pre-ordered in ascending order. Data with incorrect order might result in visual and functional glitches on the chart.

#decimalSeparator

Type stringDefault .Inherited from AmChart

Decimal separator.

#defs

Type objectInherited from AmChart

Using this property you can add any additional information to SVG, like SVG filters or clip paths. The structure of this object should be identical to XML structure of a object you are adding, only in JSON format.

#export

Type objectInherited from AmChart

Export config. Specifies how export to image/data export/print/annotate menu will look and behave. You can find a lot of examples in amcharts/plugins/export folder. More details can be found here.

#fontFamily

Type stringDefault VerdanaInherited from AmChart

Font family.

#fontSize

Type numberDefault 11Inherited from AmChart

Font size.

#handDrawn

Type booleanDefault falseInherited from AmChart

If you set this to true, the lines of the chart will be distorted and will produce hand-drawn effect. Try to adjust chart.handDrawScatter and chart.handDrawThickness properties for a more scattered result.

#handDrawScatter

Type numberDefault 2Inherited from AmChart

Defines by how many pixels hand-drawn line (when handDrawn is set to true) will fluctuate.

#handDrawThickness

Type numberDefault 1Inherited from AmChart

Defines by how many pixels line thickness will fluctuate (when handDrawn is set to true).

#hideBalloonTime

Type numberDefault 150Inherited from AmChart

Time, in milliseconds after which balloon is hidden if the user rolls-out of the object. Might be useful for AmMap to avoid balloon flickering while moving mouse over the areas. Note, this is not duration of fade-out. Duration of fade-out is set in AmBalloon class.

#language

Type stringInherited from AmChart

Allows changing language easily. Note, you should include language js file from amcharts/lang or ammap/lang folder and then use variable name used in this file, like chart.language = "de"; Note, for maps this works differently - you use language only for country names, as there are no other strings in the maps application.

#legend

Type AmLegendInherited from AmChart

Legend of a chart.

#listeners

Type object[]Inherited from AmChart

You can add listeners of events using this property. Example: listeners = [{"event":"dataUpdated", "method":handleEvent}];

#panEventsEnabled

Type booleanDefault trueInherited from AmChart

This setting affects touch-screen devices only. If a chart is on a page, and panEventsEnabled are set to true, the page won't move if the user touches the chart first. If a chart is big enough and occupies all the screen of your touch device, the user won’t be able to move the page at all. If you think that selecting/panning the chart or moving/pinching the map is a primary purpose of your users, you should set panEventsEnabled to true, otherwise - false.

#path

Type stringDefault amcharts/Inherited from AmChart

Specifies absolute or relative path to amCharts files, i.e. "amcharts/". (where all .js files are located) If relative URLs are used, they will be relative to the current web page, displaying the chart.

You can also set path globally, using global JavaScript variable AmCharts_path. If this variable is set, and "path" is not set in chart config, the chart will assume the path from the global variable. This allows setting amCharts path globally. I.e.:

var AmCharts_path = "/libs/amcharts/";```

 "path" parameter will be used by the charts to locate it's files, like images, plugins or patterns.

#pathToImages

Type stringInherited from AmChart

Specifies path to the folder where images like resize grips, lens and similar are.

IMPORTANT: Since V3.14.12, you should use "path" to point to amCharts directory instead. The "pathToImages" will be automatically set and does not need to be in the chart config, unless you keep your images separately from other amCharts files.

#percentPrecision

Type numberDefault 2Inherited from AmChart

Precision of percent values. -1 means percent values won't be rounded at all and show as they are.

#precision

Type numberDefault -1Inherited from AmChart

Precision of values. -1 means values won't be rounded at all and show as they are.

#prefixesOfBigNumbers

Type object[]Default [ { "number": 1000, "prefix": "k" }, { "number": 1000000, "prefix": "M" }, { "number": 1000000000, "prefix": "G" }, { "number": 1000000000000, "prefix": "T" }, { "number": 1000000000000000, "prefix": "P" }, { "number": 1000000000000000000, "prefix": "E" }, { "number": 1e+21, "prefix": "Z" }, { "number": 1e+24, "prefix": "Y" } ]Inherited from AmChart

Prefixes which are used to make big numbers shorter: 2M instead of 2000000, etc. Prefixes are used on value axes and in the legend. To enable prefixes, set usePrefixes property to true.

#prefixesOfSmallNumbers

Type object[]Default [ { "number": 1e-24, "prefix": "y" }, { "number": 1e-21, "prefix": "z" }, { "number": 1e-18, "prefix": "a" }, { "number": 1e-15, "prefix": "f" }, { "number": 1e-12, "prefix": "p" }, { "number": 1e-9, "prefix": "n" }, { "number": 0.000001, "prefix": "μ" }, { "number": 0.001, "prefix": "m" } ]Inherited from AmChart

Prefixes which are used to make small numbers shorter: 2μ instead of 0.000002, etc. Prefixes are used on value axes and in the legend. To enable prefixes, set usePrefixes property to true.

#processCount

Type numberDefault 1000Inherited from AmChart

If processTimeout is > 0, 1000 data items will be parsed at a time, then the chart will make pause and continue parsing data until it finishes.

#processTimeout

Type numberDefault 0Inherited from AmChart

If you set it to 1 millisecond or some bigger value, chart will be built in chunks instead of all at once. This is useful if you work with a lot of data and the initial build of the chart takes a lot of time, which freezes the whole web application by not allowing other processes to do their job while the chart is busy.

#svgIcons

Type booleanDefault trueInherited from AmChart

Charts will use SVG icons (some are loaded from images folder and some are drawn inline) if browser supports SVG. his makes icons look good on retina displays on all resolutions.

#tapToActivate

Type booleanDefault trueInherited from AmChart

Charts which require gestures like swipe (charts with scrollbar/cursor) or pinch (maps) used to prevent regular page scrolling and could result page to stick to the same spot if the chart occupied whole screen. Now, in order these gestures to start working user has to touch the chart/maps once. Regular touch events like touching on the bar/slice/map area do not require the first tap and will show balloons and perform other tasks as usual. If you have a map or chart which occupies full screen and your page does not require scrolling, set tapToActivate to false – this will bring old behavior back.

#thousandsSeparator

Type stringDefault ,Inherited from AmChart

Thousands separator.

Type of a chart. Required when creating chart using JSON. Possible types are: serial, pie, xy, radar, funnel, gauge, map, gantt, stock.

#usePrefixes

Type booleanDefault falseInherited from AmChart
