About this fork

This is a fork of TradingView's Lightweight Charts. I needed certain features that weren't included yet (and maybe never) in the official version of LWC. Specifically, I have an application that is very much like TradingView.com where each window can contain multiple charts, and each chart can have multiple indicator panes.

Multiple Panes

Allows multiple panes below the main chart. I use them to display interactive indicators below the main chart. Implemented by ntf to satisfy requests from https://github.com/tradingview/lightweight-charts/issues/50.

Setting Crosshair Position

Allows you to programmatically set the crosshair, which is useful when you want to synchronize the crosshair between multiple charts on one screen. Implemented by trior to satisfy requests from https://github.com/tradingview/lightweight-charts/issues/438.

TradingView Lightweight Charts are one of the smallest and fastest financial HTML5 charts.

The Lightweight Charting Library is the best choice for you if you want to display financial data as an interactive chart on your web page without affecting your web page loading speed and performance.

It is the best choice for you if you want to replace static image charts with interactive ones. The size of the library is close to static images but if you have dozens of image charts on a web page then using this library can make the size of your web page smaller.

Installing

es6 via npm

npm install lightweight-charts

import { createChart } from 'lightweight-charts';

const chart = createChart(document.body, { width: 400, height: 300 });
const lineSeries = chart.addLineSeries();
lineSeries.setData([
    { time: '2019-04-11', value: 80.01 },
    { time: '2019-04-12', value: 96.63 },
    { time: '2019-04-13', value: 76.64 },
    { time: '2019-04-14', value: 81.89 },
    { time: '2019-04-15', value: 74.43 },
    { time: '2019-04-16', value: 80.01 },
    { time: '2019-04-17', value: 96.63 },
    { time: '2019-04-18', value: 76.64 },
    { time: '2019-04-19', value: 81.89 },
    { time: '2019-04-20', value: 74.43 },
]);

CDN

const chart = LightweightCharts.createChart(document.body, { width: 400, height: 300 });
const lineSeries = chart.addLineSeries();
lineSeries.setData([
    { time: '2019-04-11', value: 80.01 },
    { time: '2019-04-12', value: 96.63 },
    { time: '2019-04-13', value: 76.64 },
    { time: '2019-04-14', value: 81.89 },
    { time: '2019-04-15', value: 74.43 },
    { time: '2019-04-16', value: 80.01 },
    { time: '2019-04-17', value: 96.63 },
    { time: '2019-04-18', value: 76.64 },
    { time: '2019-04-19', value: 81.89 },
    { time: '2019-04-20', value: 74.43 },
