JQuery on local host not working (want to read local CSV file)

    I am working on my home computer (Arch Linux). I simply want to load a local CSV file into this chart,

    canvasjs.com/example/gallery/bar/mobile_usage/

    I am running a Python script that reloads my data file, webcam.csv, with the following data (overwritten as the script loops):

    notebook,0.30421
    mouse,0.162229
    laptop,0.128351
    computer_keyboard,0.0672938
    toy_poodle,0.0579078

    I understand that CanvasJS cannot load CSV data directly, and must use JQuery. I read

    canvasjs.com/docs/charts/how-to/create-charts-from-csv/

    but it did not help, and when I run the Try_It-Yourself example from that page in my local browser (Firefox) it won’t run:

    file:///home/victoria/projects/computer_vision/inception/keras/wc4.html

    I also fired up a local web server (node.js ‘s http-server), I again get a blank page,

    http://127.0.0.1:8080/wc4.html

    I also tried some examples people posted on JSFiddle, etc. and those also would not run, locally. E.g., this one:

    http://jsfiddle.net/canvasjs/80u4prso/

    So, my questions:

    1. How exactly (explicitly) can I load a local csv file (webcam.csv) into that chart?

    canvasjs.com/editor/?id=https://canvasjs.com/example/gallery/bar/mobile_usage/

    2. Do I need to serve my local web/html page from a local webserver (e.g.: localhost:8080)?

    3. Re: that CanvasJS dynamic bar chart, will it automatically reload/refresh as my Python script overwrites my webcam.csv file? If not, how can I accomplish this?

    Sorry for the questions: this (JS) is all new to me.

    I want something that looks like this (dummy example: fake data!):

    but with better formatting on the chart labels.

    Thank you! :-)

    Sorry: this is the desired output; numerical labels (probablities) on the vertical axis:

    @vstuart,

    You can not request CSV files from another domain unless they support CORS. For security reasons, browsers restrict cross-origin requests. Please refer stackoverflow for more information on the same.

    Q: how can I force the “indexLabel” placement/alignment to the far left?

    December 27, 2016 at 10:56 am #13844

    @vstuart,

    Sorry it’s not possible to position indexlabel to the far left/right, as of now. indexLabel can be placed either inside/outside by using indexLabelPlacement property.
    Indexlabels placed outside the bar
