Zingchar - using rules with scatter chart

I am using zingchart's scatter chart to visualize my datas. I want to change color of some datas with value greater than for example 60. Is it possible? Here is my code, but it doesn't work:

var myConfig = {
            "type": "scatter",
            "plot": {
                "tooltip": {
                    "text": "%k (Date), %v (Value)."
                },
                "rules": [
                    {
                        "rule": "%v > 60",
                        "scatter-color": "#c00"
                    }
                ]
            },
            "series": [
                {
                    "values": c
                }
            ],
            "title" : {
                "text" : qualityData.ParameterName
            },
            "scale-x": {
                "zooming": true,
                "step": "1hour",
                "transform": {
                    "type": "date",
                    "all": "%d.%m.%Y %H:%i:%s"
                }
            },
            "scale-y": {
                "zooming": true,
                "markers": [
                    {
                        "type": "line",
                        "line-width": 2,
                        "text": "Lower tolerance",
                        "range": [qualityData.ToleranceMin, qualityData.ToleranceMin],
                        "line-color": "red"
                    },
                    {
                        "type": "line",
                        "line-width": 2,
                        "text": "Upper tolerance",
                        "range": [qualityData.ToleranceMax, qualityData.ToleranceMax],
                        "line-color": "red"
                    }
                ],
            },
            "preview": {
                "visible": true
            }
        };

And here is how my chart looks like: my scatter chart

Solution

  • Quick Fix

    You need to move rules into the plot.marker object and you need to change scatter-color to backgroundColor.

    Conditional Styling

    You can implement your conditional styling in two ways:

    1. rules
    2. jsRule

    rules attribute

    Define a rule like you have above and it will run an if statement on each node. You can have multiple rules and an easy semantic way to define conditional styling.

    jsRule attribute

    A Javascript alternative to rules which is much more performant. rules are an if statement that gets run every node. So if you have lots of nodes, you will have lot of code execution, thus slowing down your chart. 

    // window.onload event for Javascript to run after HTML
// because this Javascript is injected into the document head
window.addEventListener('load', () => {
  // Javascript code to execute after DOM content
