# Mixed Chart Types
|
|
|
|
With Chart.js, it is possible to create mixed charts that are a combination of two or more different chart types. A common example is a bar chart that also includes a line dataset.
|
|
|
|
Creating a mixed chart starts with the initialization of a basic chart.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
|
|
type: 'bar',
|
|
data: data,
|
|
options: options
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
At this point we have a standard bar chart. Now we need to convert one of the datasets to a line dataset.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var mixedChart = new Chart(ctx, {
|
|
type: 'bar',
|
|
data: {
|
|
datasets: [{
|
|
label: 'Bar Dataset',
|
|
data: [10, 20, 30, 40]
|
|
}, {
|
|
label: 'Line Dataset',
|
|
data: [50, 50, 50, 50],
|
|
|
|
// Changes this dataset to become a line
|
|
type: 'line'
|
|
}],
|
|
labels: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April']
|
|
},
|
|
options: options
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
At this point we have a chart rendering how we'd like. It's important to note that the default options for a line chart are not merged in this case. Only the options for the default type are merged in. In this case, that means that the default options for a bar chart are merged because that is the type specified by the `type` field. |
