There are four available visualizations for graph types:
Graph modifiers (see various graphs for examples):
y_scaled - Indicates that each of the two (!) lines in a step graph must be visualized on its own scale, with two different tick axes on the left and right parts of the graphpercentage - Indicates whether value percentages should be shown in labelsstacked - Depending on the graph type, indicates stacking of multiple columns in the same graphstatsGraphAsync#4a27eb2d token:string = StatsGraph;

statsGraph#8ea464b6 flags:# json:DataJSON zoom_token:flags.0?string = StatsGraph;
dataJSON#7d748d04 data:string = DataJSON;
---functions---
stats.loadAsyncGraph#621d5fa0 flags:# token:string x:flags.0?long = StatsGraph;Certain graphs are not directly sent in the stats.broadcastStats constructor to reduce server load: instead, those graphs will be sent as a statsGraphAsync constructor, and should be fetched separately using stats.loadAsyncGraph.
After obtaining the full statsGraph constructor, clients should parse the JSON graph object in the json field.
Object structure:
| Key | Graph title |
|---|---|
| columns | Array of all data column arrays in the chart. Each column array has its label at position 0, followed by values. |
| types | Graphs types for each of the column arrays (object, "label": "type"): - line - line graph - area - area graph - step - step graph - bar - bar graph - x - x axis values for each of the charts at the corresponding positions, UNIX timestamps in milliseconds. |
| colors | Color for each type (object, "label": "colorKey#AAAAAA"; see chart colors). |
| names | Localized name for each variable (object, "label": "Name") |
| subchart | Object indicating the default zoom range for the graph, this is object's structure: - show - Whether to use the specified zoom range (boolean) - defaultZoom - An array with two x values, indicating the two ends of the default zoom range |
| y_scaled | Indicates that each of the two (!) lines in a step graph must be visualized on its own scale, with two different tick axes on the left and right parts of the graph (boolean, see various graphs for examples) |
| percentage | Indicates whether value percentages should be shown in labels (boolean, see various graphs for examples) |
| stacked | Depending on the graph type, indicates stacking of multiple columns in the same graph (boolean, see various graphs for examples) |
The following chart restrictions apply:
bar chart type and stacked option are always used together.percentage is always used with the area graph.
statsGraphError#bedc9822 error:string = StatsGraph;
statsGraph#8ea464b6 flags:# json:DataJSON zoom_token:flags.0?string = StatsGraph;
dataJSON#7d748d04 data:string = DataJSON;
---functions---
stats.loadAsyncGraph#621d5fa0 flags:# token:string x:flags.0?long = StatsGraph;Graphs that support zooming will contain a zoom_token in the statsGraph constructor.
Said token should be then used as token in a new stats.loadAsyncGraph call triggered when the user clicks on the label, related to a certain x axis in the graph (see graph examples).
The x coordinate of the label should be provided to the x parameter; the method will then return (if available) a more detailed subgraph.
If not enough data is available, a localized statsGraphError will be returned.
Typical zoom visualization rules:
percentage graph (even if a zoom_token is not available) => pie chartChart colors can be provided as a color key, followed by the primary color value in hex format:
red#e05356The color key can be one of red, lightblue, lightgreen, golden, green, orange, blue, indigo.
Apps can choose to use a color value specified by the currently loaded theme: for example, the android app uses statisticChartLine_* themekeys for each of the color keys, check out the assets directory for a bunch of default themes with various colors for channel statistics.
However, the server may also choose to return just a plain color value in hex format:
#e05356In this case, the dark flag of the stats.getBroadcastStats method can be used to choose the palette of returned colors.
Simple single line graph
Step graph, always "stacked" (to indicate multiple lines)
Bar graph with multiple lines, always "stacked" (to indicate actual stacked bars, biggest bars first)
Mixed bar/line graph, always "stacked" (to indicate actual stacked bars, biggest bars first)
Pie chart, typically obtained only when zooming into percentage graphs
