ECharts Skill#

Generate high-quality interactive visual HTML chart pages based on user-provided two-dimensional data or time series data. Automatically select the most appropriate chart type, supporting 20+ chart types including bar charts, line charts, pie charts, scatter plots, maps, etc. Supports one-click PNG image export.

Trigger Scenarios#

• Draw a chart
• Generate a chart
• Use ECharts
• Visualize data
• Plot the data

Workflow#

1. Analyze Data: Identify data type (categorical/time series/numeric/geographic)
2. Select Chart: Recommend the most suitable chart type based on data structure
3. Generate HTML: Generate a complete interactive HTML file based on ECharts 5.x CDN

CDN Import#

Always use ECharts 5.x CDN (no download required):

html

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/echarts@5.4.3/dist/echarts.min.js"></script>

Standard HTML Template#

The generated HTML contains a chart rendering area.

Core Configuration#

js

var option = {
  title: { text: 'Title', subtext: 'Subtitle', left: 'center' },
  tooltip: { trigger: 'axis' },
  legend: { data: ['Series Name'], top: 30 },
  grid: { left: '10%', right: '10%', bottom: '15%', containLabel: true },
  xAxis: { type: 'category', data: ['x-axis data'] },
  yAxis: { type: 'value' },
  series: [{ name: 'Sales', type: 'bar', data: [5, 20, 36] }]
};

Complete Examples for Common Charts#

Bar Chart#

js

xAxis: { type: 'category', data: ['Shirts','Sweaters','Chiffon','Pants','Heels','Socks'] },
yAxis: { type: 'value' },
series: [{ name: 'Sales', type: 'bar', data: [5, 20, 36, 10, 10, 20] }]

Line Chart#

js

xAxis: { type: 'category', data: ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May'], boundaryGap: false },
series: [
  { name: 'Revenue', type: 'line', data: [12, 25, 18, 30, 42], smooth: true },
  { name: 'Expenses', type: 'line', data: [8, 15, 12, 20, 28], smooth: true }
]

Pie Chart#

js

series: [{
  type: 'pie', radius: '55%',
  data: [
    { value: 335, name: 'Direct Visit' },
    { value: 310, name: 'Email Marketing' },
    { value: 234, name: 'Affiliate Ads' },
    { value: 135, name: 'Search Engine' }
  ],
  label: { show: true, formatter: '{b}: {d}%' }
}]

Scatter Plot#

js

xAxis: { type: 'value', name: 'Height (cm)' },
yAxis: { type: 'value', name: 'Weight (kg)' },
series: [{ type: 'scatter', symbolSize: 12, data: [[172,68],[168,62],[177,75],[159,55],[180,82]] }]

Export Functionality (toolbox.saveAsImage)#

ECharts has built-in export capability. Simply add the following configuration to your option to see the export icon in the top-right corner of the chart:

js

toolbox: {
  right: 16,   // Distance from right edge
  top: 0,      // Distance from top edge
  feature: {
    saveAsImage: {
      type: 'png',       // or 'jpeg'
      pixelRatio: 2,     // Pixel density: 1=standard 2=high definition 3=ultra high
      title: 'Export PNG Image',
      name: 'chart'      // Download file name (without extension)
    }
  }
}

Show a notification after export:

js

chart.on('download', function() {
  // Show Toast "Image saved"
});

Console API:

js

window.__echarts_export__.getPngUrl(2);   // Get PNG dataURL
window.__echarts_export__.resize();       // Trigger redraw

Style Themes#

js

echarts.init(dom, 'dark');   // Dark theme
echarts.init(dom, 'light'); // Light theme (default)

Custom color palette: color: ['#5470C6','#91CC75','#FAC858','#EE6666','#73C0DE','#3BA272','#FC8452','#9A60B4']

Output File#

Generate a complete .html file, save it to the workspace, including:

• ECharts 5.x CDN import (no local files required)
• Built-in export icon in the top-right corner of the chart (toolbox.saveAsImage)
• Toast notification after export completion
• Responsive resizing (window.resize)
• window.__echarts_export__ console API
