Kendo UI for jQuery Range Bar Charts Overview

The Kendo UI chart is a powerful data visualization component, which allows you to graphically represent your data. It is useful when you would like to utilize modern browser technologies such as SVG or Canvas (with a fallback to VML for older IE versions) for interactive data visualizations.

The component offers a variety of chart types such as area, bar, line, scatter, polar, radar, pie and donut, stock (OHLC), waterfall and other.

This demo shows how to create a Range Bar chart, which displays data as bars where each bar represents a value range that spans between its minimum (i.e., From property) and maximum (i.e., To property) levels. A Range Bar type has floating bars unlike the standard Ba chart that has anchored bars to its x-axis.

This chart type is useful for comparing the low and high levels of value ranges (e.g., employees' working time, blood glucose levels per day, average minimum and maximum temperatures and rainfalls over time, etc.).

To instantiate a Kendo UI chart, you need to specify an empty div with an id on the page, select this div with a jQuery selector and invoke the kendoChart() function. As a result, the chart is registered as a standard jQuery plugin.

The chart can fetch data for its series from either local or remote data source. You can find more information about the Kendo UI chart in the product documentation.
