# dygraphs JavaScript charting library

The dygraphs JavaScript library produces interactive, zoomable charts of time series:

Learn more about it at [dygraphs.com](http://www.dygraphs.com).

Get help with dygraphs on [Stack Overflow][] (preferred) and [Google Groups][].

## Features
* Plots time series without using an external server or Flash
* Supports [error bands][] around data series
* Interactive [pan and zoom][]
* Displays values [on mouseover][]
* Adjustable [averaging period][]
* Extensive set of [options][] for customization.
* Compatible with the [Google Visualization API][gviz]

## Minimal Example
```html


<!--//--><![CDATA[//><!--
Dygraph.onDOMready(function onDOMready() { // or jQuery $() etc.
g = new Dygraph(
document.getElementById("graphdiv"), // containing div
"Date,Temperature\n" + // the data series
"2008-05-07,75\n" +
"2008-05-08,70\n" +
"2008-05-09,80\n",
{ } // the options
);
});
//--><!]]>

```

Learn more by reading [the tutorial][] and seeing demonstrations of what
dygraphs can do in the [gallery][]. You can get `dygraph.js` and `dygraph.css`
from [UNPKG][], [cdnjs][] or [from NPM][npm] (see below).

## Usage with a module loader

Get dygraphs from NPM:

npm install dygraphs

**Do not install from the git repository!** Always use a tarball install,
which contains the prebuilt files; `npm` fails to build the source code
on install from github. (The tarball from the GitHub Registry is fine.)

You'll find pre-built JS & CSS files in `node_modules/dygraphs/dist/`. If you're
using a module bundler like browserify or webpack, you can import dygraphs:

```js
import Dygraph from 'dygraphs';
// or: const Dygraph = require('dygraphs');

const g = new Dygraph('graphdiv', data, { /* options */ });
```

Check out the [dygraphs-es6 repo][] for a fully-worked example.

## Development

To get going, install the following Debian packages…

- `jq`
- `mksh`
- `pax`
- `python3`

… clone the repo and run:

npm install
npm run build-jsonly

Then open `tests/demo.html` in your browser.

Read more about the dygraphs development process in the [developer guide](/DEVELOP.md).
