Hi,

I am trying to create a line graph from csv file, csv file have multiple series and format look like this.

Time, CPU0, CPU1, CPU2, CPU3
10:30, 10.40, 50, 60.78, 30.38

i prepared my page, first i read the CSV file and pass the data to prepared array of series, create four series like cpu0. cpu1, cpu2 and cpu3.

Then i set these series to canvas dataPoint. I am beginner in javascipting so i dont know much about dataPoints and structure. Could you please help in this matter.
Here is my page markup.

Shahid,

Here your data array should be as-

{ type: "Line",
     dataPoints: cpu0},

cpu0 is already an array. And still some problem persists you can debug it by consoling cpu0.

script is updated but still graph did not generated and no error in console.

Hi again,

Now i write more clean code according to one of line graph example. Graph is still not generated but i see the border is bold of the graph area.

In your case both x and y are string type. So, converting

x value to a valid javascript DateTime format (or you can try with label instead of x)
y value to a number

should render the chart fine. Here is an similar example with csv data.
