I am stuck with a problem on chart js while creating line chart. I want to create a chart with the specified data and also need to have horizontal and vertical line while I hover on intersection point. I am able to create vertical line on hover but can not find any solution where I can draw both the line. Here is my code to draw vertical line on hover.
window.lineOnHover = function(){
Chart.defaults.LineWithLine = Chart.defaults.line;
Chart.controllers.LineWithLine = Chart.controllers.line.extend({
draw: function(ease) {
Chart.controllers.line.prototype.draw.call(this, ease);
if (this.chart.tooltip._active && this.chart.tooltip._active.length) {
var activePoint = this.chart.tooltip._active[0],
ctx = this.chart.ctx,
x = activePoint.tooltipPosition().x,
topY = this.chart.legend.bottom,
bottomY = this.chart.chartArea.bottom;
// draw line
ctx.save();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(x, topY);
ctx.lineTo(x, bottomY);
ctx.lineWidth = 1;
ctx.setLineDash([3,3]);
ctx.strokeStyle = '#FF4949';
ctx.stroke();
ctx.restore();
}
}
});
}
//create chart
var backhaul_wan_mos_chart = new Chart(backhaul_wan_mos_chart, {
type: 'LineWithLine',
data: {
labels: ['Aug 1', 'Aug 2', 'Aug 3', 'Aug 4', 'Aug 5', 'Aug 6', 'Aug 7', 'Aug 8'],
datasets: [{
label: 'Series 1',
data: [15, 16, 17, 18, 16, 18, 17, 14, 19, 16, 15, 15, 17],
pointRadius: 0,
fill: false,
borderDash: [3, 3],
borderColor: '#0F1731',
// backgroundColor: '#FF9CE9',
// pointBackgroundColor: ['#FB7BDF'],
borderWidth: 1
}],
// lineAtIndex: 2,
},
options: {
tooltips: {
intersect: false
},
legend: {
display: false
},
scales: {
xAxes: [{
gridLines: {
offsetGridLines: true
},
ticks: {
fontColor: '#878B98',
fontStyle: "600",
fontSize: 10,
fontFamily: "Poppins"
}
}],
yAxes: [{
display: true,
stacked: true,
ticks: {
min: 0,
max: 50,
stepSize: 10,
fontColor: '#878B98',
fontStyle: "500",
fontSize: 10,
fontFamily: "Poppins"
}
}]
},
responsive: true,
}
});
my output of the code is as follow in WAN MoS Score graph —
So I want to have an horizontal line with the same vertical line together when I hover on the intersection (plotted) point..
Please help my guys..Thanks in advance.

Answer
You can just add a second draw block for the y coordinate that you get from the tooltip, first you move to the left of the chartArea that you can get the same way you got bottom and top and then you move to the right on the same Y
Chart.defaults.LineWithLine = Chart.defaults.line;
Chart.controllers.LineWithLine = Chart.controllers.line.extend({
draw: function(ease) {
Chart.controllers.line.prototype.draw.call(this, ease);
if (this.chart.tooltip._active && this.chart.tooltip._active.length) {
var activePoint = this.chart.tooltip._active[0],
ctx = this.chart.ctx,
x = activePoint.tooltipPosition().x,
y = activePoint.tooltipPosition().y,
topY = this.chart.legend.bottom,
bottomY = this.chart.chartArea.bottom,
left = this.chart.chartArea.left,
right = this.chart.chartArea.right;
// Set line opts
ctx.save();
ctx.lineWidth = 1;
ctx.setLineDash([3, 3]);
ctx.strokeStyle = '#FF4949';
// draw vertical line
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(x, topY);
ctx.lineTo(x, bottomY);
ctx.stroke();
// Draw horizontal line
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(left, y);
ctx.lineTo(right, y);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.restore();
}
}
});
var options = {
type: 'LineWithLine',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
borderWidth: 1
},
{
label: '# of Points',
data: [7, 11, 5, 8, 3, 7],
borderWidth: 1
}
]
},
options: {
}
}
var ctx = document.getElementById('chartJSContainer').getContext('2d');
new Chart(ctx, options);<body> <canvas id="chartJSContainer" width="600" height="400"></canvas> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/2.9.4/Chart.js"></script> </body>
Edit:
You should use a custom plugin for this since you dont draw everytime you move the cursor and you can enforce this by using a custom plugin:
const options = {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
borderWidth: 1
},
{
label: '# of Points',
data: [7, 11, 5, 8, 3, 7],
borderWidth: 1
}
]
},
options: {
plugins: {
corsair: {
dash: [2, 2],
color: 'red',
width: 3
}
}
},
plugins: [{
id: 'corsair',
afterInit: (chart) => {
chart.corsair = {
x: 0,
y: 0
}
},
afterEvent: (chart, evt) => {
const {
chartArea: {
top,
bottom,
left,
right
}
} = chart;
const {
x,
y
} = evt;
if (x < left || x > right || y < top || y > bottom) {
chart.corsair = {
x,
y,
draw: false
}
chart.draw();
return;
}
chart.corsair = {
x,
y,
draw: true
}
chart.draw();
},
afterDatasetsDraw: (chart, _, opts) => {
const {
ctx,
chartArea: {
top,
bottom,
left,
right
}
} = chart;
const {
x,
y,
draw
} = chart.corsair;
if (!draw) {
return;
}
ctx.lineWidth = opts.width || 0;
ctx.setLineDash(opts.dash || []);
ctx.strokeStyle = opts.color || 'black'
ctx.save();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(x, bottom);
ctx.lineTo(x, top);
ctx.moveTo(left, y);
ctx.lineTo(right, y);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.restore();
}
}]
}
const ctx = document.getElementById('chartJSContainer').getContext('2d');
new Chart(ctx, options);<body> <canvas id="chartJSContainer" width="600" height="400"></canvas> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/2.9.4/Chart.js"></script> </body>
