In this quick start, you'll learn how to add the CandlestickChart widget to an HTML project using HTML markup and jQuery script.

  1. To create a new HTML page in your favorite text editor, add the following code and save the document with an .html extension.

    Drop down and copy markup

    Paste in your favorite text editor.
    Copy Code 
    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
<HTML>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</HTML>
  2. Add links to the dependencies to your HTML page within the <head> tags. Find the latest dependencies in the content delivery network (CDN) file at wijmo cdn.

    Drop down and copy references to paste inside the head tags

    References
    Copy Code 
    <!--Theme-->
<link href="http://cdn.wijmo.com/themes/aristo/jquery-wijmo.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<!--Wijmo Widgets CSS-->
<link href="http://cdn.wijmo.com/jquery.wijmo-pro.all.3.20183.140.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<!--RequireJs-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/external/require.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    requirejs.config({
        baseUrl: "http://cdn.wijmo.com/amd-js/3.20161.90",
            paths: {
                "jquery": "jquery-1.11.1.min",
                "jquery-ui": "jquery-ui-1.11.0.custom.min",
                "jquery.ui": "jquery-ui",
                "jquery.mousewheel": "jquery.mousewheel.min",
                "globalize": "globalize.min"
            }
    });
</script>
  3. Add the following markup within the <body> tags to create the widget. The <div> element creates the widget, and we call its id attribute in jQuery to initialize it.

    Drop down and copy markup to paste inside the body tags

    Markup
    Copy Code 
    <div id="wijcandlestickchartDefault" style="width: 600px; height: 400px;"></div>
  4. Within the <head> tags, below the references, add the following script to initialize the widget, populate it with data, and set a number of options.
    • The variable named myData adds all of the data values to use in the seriesList.
    • The X and Y axes are configured with custom styles, alignment, tick mark position, and title text.
    • The tooltip (hint) content is set to show  formatted data labels.
    • The header displays title text.
    • Data is added to the seriesList using the "myData" variable.

    Drop down and copy script to paste inside the head tags

    Script
    Copy Code 
    <script id="scriptInit" type="text/javascript">
    require(["wijmo.wijcandlestickchart"], function () {
        $(document).ready(function () {
