Horizontal and Vertical Axes
SpreadJS Documentation > Developer's Guide > Managing Data Visualization and Objects > Understanding Sparklines > Horizontal and Vertical Axes

You can display a horizontal axis or vertical orientation with line, column, and winloss sparklines.

You can display the horizontal axis with the options.displayXAxis property when adding the sparkline with a method. You can specify horizontal or vertical orientation with the dataOrientation method when adding the sparkline with a method. You can specify a data range or a date axis range. The line, column, and winloss formulas have options for setting the axis or orientation.

The following image displays a data range with horizontal and vertical data and a date axis range. The horizontal date range is similar to the horizontal data range.

Using Code

This example displays a date axis.

Using Code

The following example creates a sparkline that uses horizontal data (1,2,4,8,6) from the data range. The numbers below the image were added for illustration.

JavaScript
Copy Code
activeSheet.setValue(1, 0, 10);
activeSheet.setValue(2, 0, 0);
activeSheet.setValue(3, 0, -3);
activeSheet.setValue(4, 0, -5);
activeSheet.setValue(0, 0, 1);
activeSheet.setValue(0, 1, 2);
activeSheet.setValue(0, 2, 4);
activeSheet.setValue(0, 3, 8);
activeSheet.setValue(0, 4, 6);
activeSheet.setValue(0, 5, new Date(2014, 1, 1));
activeSheet.setValue(1, 5, new Date(2014, 9, 1));

sparkline.displayDateAxis(false);
sparkline.dataOrientation(GC.Spread.Sheets.Sparklines.DataOrientation.Vertical);
