Julia package for the Apache ECharts v4 visualization library

ECharts

Linux:
Windows 64bit:
Codecov:

Documentation: http://randyzwitch.com/ECharts.jl/

2019-03-22: Currently, ECharts supports Julia 1.0+ through Jupyter Notebook and the REPL. Supporting Juno and VSCode are planned in the future as WebIO.jl allows

echarts.jl's Issues

This is what i looks like for me when plotting corrplot

on ECharts.jl v0.4.0 and Windows 10

Improve tooltip!

With #54 making tooltips default, make sure settings for tooltip actually work/make sense for each chart type

Update ECharts for Mux/WebSockets changes

As of today, need JuliaWeb/Mux.jl#86 and JuliaWeb/WebSockets.jl#145 for ECharts to pop up a Blink window

Improve labels! functionality

Color, rounding, etc.

Update docs

• make sure echarts4 references everywhere
• document theme and its uses
• update JSON/refactor into importing JSON files instead of literal specification in markdown

Improve theme support

• clean up theme syntax for echarts4
• new theme generating function using defaulttheme function
• newtheme function to inherit from existing theme

Clean up decimal precision

Pick a default like 2 or 3 decimals, to avoid massive floating point being displayed

Add docstrings

Add docstrings for inline documentation

• plot methods
• mutating plot methods

Broken with 1.5 beta1.0

When I try a simple example with Julia 1.5 beta1.0, ECharts hangs.

Add assertions/checks

Add assertions for arrays having same dimensions, other necessities not covered through method signatures

Jupyter Notebook/Lab broken

Related to #69? Updated packages for ECharts 0.4, Jupyter doesn't work

Merge ItemStyle, AreaStyle, LineStyle

See if this is reasonably possible, since the types are all basically used in the same way

Improve corrplot

Look at corrplot in R, evaluate what features would be useful (sort, removing 1.00 from diagonal, etc.)

Missing value treatment could depend on decisions made JuliaStats/StatsBase.jl#343

Improve Juno integration

• re-use windows, not load JS every time
• auto-resize

Add chart types

Completed:

• sunburst http://echarts.baidu.com/examples/editor.html?c=sunburst-simple
• tree http://echarts.baidu.com/examples/editor.html?c=tree-basic

• single axis
• faceted charts http://echarts.baidu.com/examples/editor.html?c=scatter-matrix
• horizon plot

Factor out as much literal JS as possible

One of the downsides of the JSFunction type is that it deviates from JSON standard. Thus, the code works if you splat it into an HTML page, but you can't read the JSON from an endpoint.

Factor out the usage as much as possible, so that external JSON files can be read.

• lineargradient and radialgradient as Dict or types
• Pass JS as string and eval (?) per http://ovaraksin.blogspot.com/2013/10/pass-javascript-function-via-json.html

support DataFrames.jl 0.19+

I am getting errors running corplot example. Due to DataFrames.jl using df[!,:colname] syntax instead of df[:colname]

LoadError: ArgumentError: Package FixedPointNumbers Not Installed

While using ECharts throws Error as follows:

Switch to new Dataset syntax

Instead of having all different data structures, move to common Dataset structure for simplicity. Reuse JSON.json(x::DataFrame) as much as possible to avoid writing custom parsers

Three known security vulnerabilities in JavaScript dependencies

There are three known security vulnerabilities in JavaScript dependencies specified in this repository:

1. docs/Gemfile.lock specifies ffi version 1.9.21. There is a known vulnerability in this version: CVE-2018-1000201. The recommendation is to upgrade to ffi version 1.9.24.

2. docs/Gemfile.lock specifies rubyzip version 1.2.1. There is a known vulnerability in this version: CVE-2018-1000544. The recommendation is to upgrade to rubyzip version 1.2.2.

3. docs/Gemfile.lock specifies jekyll version 3.6.2. There is a known vulnerability in this version: CVE-2018-17567. The recommendation is to upgrade to jekyll version 3.6.3.

Can we update Gemfile.lock to specify appropriately recent versions of these dependencies?

cc: @randyzwitch

Add macro for literal specification of ECharts json

Make a function/macro to parse a JSON specification directly into an ECharts object, so that plotting can occur from copying examples

Improve test coverage

80% on codecov isn't bad, but it'd be great to have higher coverage.

Add SVG or Canvas option

Add in to ECharts type (or global?), then pass value:

var chart = echarts.init(containerDom, null, {renderer: 'canvas'});

var chart = echarts.init(containerDom, null, {renderer: 'svg'});

More robust slider!

Clean up DataZoom slider type, figure out DataZoom inside type, etc.

Trouble constructing Sankey diagram

I am having trouble following the documentation for the Sankey diagram. I have previously used an online tool to construct these diagrams, but I am unsure how to translate that to here.

For example, the following "code"

Application [1] Other
Application [3] Declined
Application [2] No Response
Application [1] Interview
Interview [1] Unsuccessful
Interview [0] Successful

Produces this outcome:

Can you help me translate this into Julia? Sorry about the question, by the way. And thank you for making this package.

Won't download in Atom

I tried to add it to Julia in Atom, but get the following message:

Pkg.add("ECharts")
ERROR: resolve is unable to satisfy package requirements.
The problem was detected when trying to find a feasible version
for package Graphs.
However, this only means that package Graphs is involved in an
unsatisfiable or difficult dependency relation, and the root of
the problem may be elsewhere.

Implement REPL show methods

Use Blink, pop up HTML page?

ECharts version

Hi! First of all, thanks for this package! I've just noticed that the last ECharts version is 5.2.0; maybe it could be great to update it on this package. Best regards!

Update types for ECharts 4

ECharts 4 is backwards compatible, but update types and charts to newest spec

Remove fit step from charts

Wrap StatsBase functions, to make calling histogram work without having to call fit()

• histogram
• heatmap
• kernel density
• 2D KDE to area

Add sampling keyword to selected methods

• line: sampling
• lines: large

jupyter lab?

I am using jupyter lab now since it seems to be working very well and is the anticipated next gen jupyter as far as i can tell. However, I don't get the output using that. apparently One has do enable javascript somehow through extentions or I guess it can be built in the package? not sure.

Have you had a look at this? I know plotlyjs.jl has similar issues

Switch unions to just use Real

Simplify method signatures as possible to remove enumerating every type instead of using Real

Add sort keyword to funnel

The default is to sort, but some cool effects can happen if you don't. Add keyword to methods for funnel, with the default as sorted.

More robust toolbox!

Clean up DataZoom toolbox type, others

Add Dates methods where applicable

• line/area/bar
• streamgraph
• candlestick

Black and White theme

Add a black and white theme for academic like printing

Support VSCode

• Waiting on JuliaGizmos/Blink.jl#139 and associated fixes
• Make sure rendering works in notebook
  - [ ] Make rendering work in Juno wontfix
• Make rendering work in VSCode
• Make rendering work in REPL

Add savefig methods

Add methods for writing JSON to file, writing whole HTML page, GIF/PNG, etc.

Add Accessibility Testing

@sdmcallister review for accessibility (screen reader compatibility.

Remove dependency on RDatasets

RDatasets only used for testing, but is causing Travis to fail because of unrelated RDatasets issues. Remove dependency to avoid future issues, make package more lightweight

Improve Missings support

• area: replace with zeros for group methods, document
• box: doesn't support missing yet (fix input signatures), need to change boxplotstat calculation also
• corrplot: evaluate, document (call completecases?)

Create global object for graph settings(?)

Thinking about creating a global for settings such as size, theme, display type, etc.

ECharts not working in Pluto Notebooks

I followed the WebIO installation instructions and the following commands still do not work.

using ECharts
x = ["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday"]
y = [11, 11, 15, 13, 12, 13, 10]
b = bar(x, y)

More robust flip! method

box brittle with outliers, i.e. box logic hard coded into flip!

Use JavaScript tools for dependency management?

Not sure what benefits this might add to the package, but auto-updating dependencies and bundling javascript could be useful
