How to create a dotted line chart in React Chart?

This article explains how to create a dotted line chart in the React Chart.

Customize the creation of a dotted line chart

A line chart displays data as a series of connected data points through straight line segments. In React Chart, you can create a dotted line chart using the dashArray property. This property defines the pattern of dashes and gaps used to stroke lines in Line type series.

In the following code example, the line chart is customized to plot a dotted line using the dashArray property.

Index.js

import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
import * as React from 'react';
import { ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject, LineSeries, Category } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';

const DashedLine = () => {
return (
   <ChartComponent
     id="charts"
     background="#2a3666"
   >
     <Inject services={[LineSeries, Category]} />
     <SeriesCollectionDirective>
       <SeriesDirective
         dataSource={data}
         xName="x"
         yName="y"
         width={4}
         marker={{ visible: false, width: 7, height: 7 }}
         type="Line"
         dashArray="3,2"
         fill="#719daa"
       ></SeriesDirective>
       <SeriesDirective
         dataSource={data}
         xName="x"
         yName="y1"
         width={4}
         marker={{ visible: false, width: 7, height: 7, shape: 'Diamond' }}
         dashArray="1,2"
         type="Line"
         fill="#f25959"
       ></SeriesDirective>
       <SeriesDirective
         dataSource={data}
         xName="x"
         yName="y2"
         width={4}
         marker={{ visible: false, width: 7, height: 7, shape: 'Diamond' }}
         dashArray="9,1"
         type="Line"
         fill="#d8d79b"
       ></SeriesDirective>
     </SeriesCollectionDirective>
   </ChartComponent>
);
};
export default DashedLine;

const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('sample'));
root.render(<DashedLine />);
