jqplot resize chart when resizing browser

Question

Is there an easy way to auto-resize a jqplot chart when resizing the browser? I have been looking on Google, and haven't found anything.

Answer 1

Resizing jqplots is discussed here.

To make it work when the browser is resized, bind the replot function up with the window.resize event:

$(window).resize(function() {
      plot1.replot( { resetAxes: true } );
});

Running code:

$(document).ready(function(){
    var plot1 = $.jqplot ('container', [[3,7,9,1,4,6,8,2,5]], {});
    
    $(window).resize(function() {
          plot1.replot( { resetAxes: true } );
    });
    
});

I've found that using replot doesn't always give consistent results if you've got a lot of options on your graphs. The only way I've found to have complex graphs cope with window resizes is to get brutal and destroy it and rebuild it.

function () {

    var plot;

    var renderGraph = function() {
        plot = $.jqplot('chartId', yourChartData, yourChartOptions);
    }

    renderGraph();

    var resizeGraph = function() {
        if (plot)
            plot.destroy();
        renderGraph();
    }

    $(window).resize(function() {
        resizeGraph();
    });
}
