Create a High Low Open Close Chart
Wijmo User Guide > Widgets > Chart Widgets > CandlestickChart > CandlestickChart How To > Create a High Low Open Close Chart

Building on the Quick Start example, you can change the default candlestick to "ohlc" (open high low close) using the type option.

  1. In the <head> section of your HTML file, replace the script that includes the document ready function with this one, which changes the type option. 

    Drop down and copy script to paste in <head> section

  2. No changes are necessary in the <body> section of your HTML file. The basic <div> tag is sufficient to create the widget.
  3. Save your HTML file and open it in a browser. The widget appears like the one in the live widget below, with the open values marked by a horizontal green line to the left of each day, and the close values marked by a horizontal green line to the right.
