Data Structure

const config = {
  type: 'venn',
  data: ChartVenn.extractSets(
    [
      { label: 'Soccer', values: ['alex', 'casey', 'drew', 'hunter'] },
      { label: 'Tennis', values: ['casey', 'drew', 'jade'] },
      { label: 'Volleyball', values: ['drew', 'glen', 'jade'] },
    ],
    {
      label: 'Sports',
    }
  ),
  options: {},
};

Alternative data structure

const config = {
  type: 'venn',
  data: {
    labels: [
      'Soccer',
      'Tennis',
      'Volleyball',
      'Soccer ∩ Tennis',
      'Soccer ∩ Volleyball',
      'Tennis ∩ Volleyball',
      'Soccer ∩ Tennis ∩ Volleyball',
    ],
    datasets: [
      {
        label: 'Sports',
        data: [
          { sets: ['Soccer'], value: 2 },
          { sets: ['Tennis'], value: 0 },
          { sets: ['Volleyball'], value: 1 },
          { sets: ['Soccer', 'Tennis'], value: 1 },
          { sets: ['Soccer', 'Volleyball'], value: 0 },
          { sets: ['Tennis', 'Volleyball'], value: 1 },
          { sets: ['Soccer', 'Tennis', 'Volleyball'], value: 1 },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
  options: {},
};

Styling of elements

ArcSlice elements have the basic backgroundColor, borderColor, and borderWidth properties similar to a regular rectangle.

Styling of labels

The x scale ticks options are used to configure the set value labels within the intersections. The y scale ticks options are used to configure the set label labels next ot the set circles. Changing the tick display options (e.g. scales.x.ticks.display = false) will disable the set value labels. Similarly, its font spec and color are used to the styling of the labels.

Euler Diagram

Euler diagrams are relaxed proportional venn diagrams such that the area of the circles and overlap try to fit the overlapping value. It is a relaxed in a way that is just approximates the proportions using a numerical optimization process. Moreover, only one and two set overlaps are used for the computation. The library uses venn.js in the background.

Data Structure

const config = {
  type: 'euler',
  data: ChartVenn.extractSets(
    [
      { label: 'A', values: [1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18] },
      { label: 'B', values: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23] },
      { label: 'C', values: [1, 11, 12, 4, 5, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30] },
    ],
    {
      label: 'Sets',
    }
  ),
  options: {},
};

ESM and Tree Shaking

The ESM build of the library supports tree shaking thus having no side effects. As a consequence the chart.js library won't be automatically manipulated nor new controllers automatically registered. One has to manually import and register them.

Variant A:

import { Chart, LinearScale } from 'chart.js';
import { VennDiagramController, ArcSlice } from 'chartjs-chart-venn';

Chart.register(VennDiagramController, ArcSlice, LinearScale);
...

new Chart(ctx, {
  type: VennDiagramController.id,
  data: [...],
});

Variant B:

import { VennDiagramChart } from 'chartjs-chart-venn';

new VennDiagramChart(ctx, {
  data: [...],
});
