Open Flash Chart (Modified Version) – JSON File Definition

WARNING: This definition is only valid for the Modified Version of OFC and is NOT VALID for Open Flash Chart Version 2.

JSON File Format

JavaScript Object Notation is a standard way of converting an object to a text string. An object described in JSON is consists of a set of curly braces ({}) enclosing a set of attribute-value pairs. Since the JSON format for OFC is describing an object which determines how OFC is to present data to the user the first character in the file should be an open curly brace ({) and the last character should be a closing curly brace (}).

The attributes contained within the OFC JSON object can be a combination of strings, numbers, booleans, arrays and even other objects. Any amount of white space (spaces, tabs, new lines) can be used to make the JSON file more readable by us mere humans.

The data for the entire JSON file is enclosed in a set of curly braces {}. The simplest JSON File Format for OFC is in fact an object with no attributes which would be: {}.

The attribute-value pairs must be in the format of the attribute name enclosed in double quotes (“) followed by a colon (:) followed by the value of the attribute in the format specific to its data type. Attribute names are case sensitive so care must be taken when defining them. Most attribute names begin with a lowercase word and then if it consists of multiple words the first letter of those words is capitalized. Examples are “align” and “anchorStyle”.

A comma (,) is used to separate each attribute-value pair. In most lists the last item would not have a comma after it; however, in this JSON format, a trailing comma is allowed. This makes it easy to cut and paste to move attribute-value pairs around without having to go back and get the commas right. (The Lua scripting language introduced me to this little feature and I liked it so I added it here.)

Object Attributes

The OFC JSON File Format consists of several objects (or you might think of them as sections) which define a specific portion of the chart. For instance there is a toolTip object which defines what a tool tip is supposed to look like. So within the JSON File there would be a toolTip attribute defining an object without an attributes (what I call an an empty object) would like this:

{ “toolTip” : { }, } // Note the comma is optional

A JSON file with three empty objects would look like this:

{ “chart” : {},

“toolTip” : {},

“xAxis” : {}, // Note this trailing comma is optional

}

A JSON file with an object containing an empty object would look like this:

{ “toolTip” : { “title” : {}, }, }

String Attributes

All string values are enclosed in double quotes “”

Examples: “text”: “My Chart Title”,

“mouse” : “follow”,

Number Attributes

Numbers can be defined in the normal fashion you would write a number or in exponential notation. Do not use a leading plus sign (+).

Examples: “min” : -10.5,

“x” : 1.25e8,

Array Attributes

All array values are enclosed in a set of square brackets ( [ ] ). OFC uses arrays of objects to define set of plots to display and within each plot definition a set of values objects to be plotted.

Examples: “elements” : [ { “type” : “scatter”, “text” : “plot line 1”, ... },

{ “type” : “scatter”, “text” : “plot line 2”, ... },

“values” : [ {“x”:1, “y”: 1}, {“x”:2, “y”:4}, ],

Boolean Attributes

The boolean attributes can only one of two values: either true or false. The words true and false must not be enclosed in quotes and must be in all lower case in the JSON file.

Examples: “visible” : false,

“hollow” : true,

Color Attributes

Color type attributes can be represented as a number or as a text string consisting of a pound sign (#) followed by 6 hex digits. The hex digits are 3 sets of 2 hex digits each representing the saturation of the red, green and blue components in that order. Some color type attributes can also be set to the text string “auto” to pick up the color of its related plot.

Examples: “color” : 0, // 0 is black

“color” : “#FF0000”, // Red

“bgColor” : “#FFFFFF”, // White

“bgColor” : “auto”, // Same color as the plot it is tied to

JSON File Format Objects

The different objects or sections of the OFC JSON File are defined below. Each object lists the attribute names, valid values and the default values that are valid for the object. Remember that attribute names are case sensitive and must be spelled as indicated. If the default value is desired for an attribute then that attribute does not need to be included in the JSON File.

Chart Attributes Object

	“margin”	0 to n “String of 1 to 4 values separated by spaces”	0	Margin of pixels around the outer edge (prevents titles, etc. from touching the very edge of the window). This is a short hand way of specifying the four margin values. This can be used to provide a buffer between edge of the window and the parts of the chart. * See Note 1 at end of page

(“padding” is a shorthand way of specifying the values for the padding-top, padding-right, padding-bottom and padding-left values in exactly the same was as “margin” does.)

If a single value is supplied then all four attributes are set to the same value
If two values are supplied then margin-top and margin-bottom are set to the first value and margin-left and margin-right are set to the second value
If three value are supplied then margin-top is set to the first value, margin-bottom is set to the third value and margin-right and margin-left are set to the second value
