#Chart.HorizontalBar.js

Horizontal Bar Chart plugin for Chart.js chartjs.org

Introduction

Horizontal bar charts are a much-requested missing chart option from Chart.js, which is otherwise a fantastic library.

This plugin aims to fill that gap and is based on work by @erikdattilo which you can find here https://github.com/erikdattilo/Chart.js/tree/issue/073-horizontal-bar-chart

The difference with this plugin is that it does not require any changes to Chart.js itself.

It's hacky, kinda brittle, and repeats a bunch of code already in Chart.js, but until horizontal bar charts are supported natively, this should do okay.

If you want to fork this and clean it up, feel free. I'm sure there's plenty of room for improvement and I'm probably not going to be messing with it too much.

Usage

Install via bower.

$ bower install chart.horizontalbar

This plugin can be used in exactly the same way as the standard (vertical) Bar charts in Chart.js.

All the same options apply.

Example usage

var horizontalBarChart = new Chart(ctx).HorizontalBar(data, options);

See the example in /samples/horizontal-bar.html for more information, or simply refer to the Chart.js Bar Chart docs.
