Custom presets

Custom presets can be declared using embedded JavaScript where custom (name of the preset) can be any name. The custom preset can be applied using a class name with wb-charts- as the prefix followed by your custom preset name.

<script>
window[ "wb-charts" ] = {
	flot: {
		custom: {
			colors: [ "#ff0000",
					"#00ff00",
					"#0000ff",
					"#ff0000",
					"#00ff00",
					"#0000ff",
					"#ff0000",
					"#00ff00",
					"#0000ff"]
		}
	}
};
</script>

Applying a preset to multiple settings

It is possible to apply a preset to multiple settings. When the same preset name exists and is applied to multiple settings, the preset is applied across all those settings.

<script>
window[ "wb-charts" ] = {

	// Flot global settings. Equivalent to applying "data-flot" to the table element.
	flot: { },

	// Flot series-specific setting. Equivalent to applying "data-flot" to the th element.
	series: { },

	// WET chart-specific setting. Equivalent to applying "data-wb-charts" on the table element.
	charts: { }
};
</script>
