id="dataset" tabindex="-1">Dataset</h1> <p><code>dataset</code> is a component dedicated to manage data. Although you can set the data in <code>series.data</code> for every series, we recommend you use the <code>dataset</code> to manage the data since ECharts 4 so that the data can be reused by multiple components and convenient for the separation of "data and configs". After all, data is the most common part to be changed while other configurations will mostly not change at runtime.</p> <h2 id="define-data-under-series" tabindex="-1">Define <code>data</code> under <code>series</code></h2> <p>If data is defined under <code>series</code>, for example:</p> <div class="md-live layout-tb"><div class="md-live-editor"><div class="md-live-editor-container"><div class="prism-editor-wrapper"><div class="prism-editor__container"><textarea spellcheck="false" autocapitalize="off" autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" data-gramm="false" placeholder="" data-testid="textarea" class="prism-editor__textarea">option = {

However, it is not conducive to the data sharing for multiple series as well as mapping arrangement of chart types and series based on the original data. The other disadvantage is that programmers always need to divide the data in separate series (and categories) first.</p> <h2 id="define-data-in-dataset" tabindex="-1">Define <code>data</code> in <code>dataset</code></h2> <p>Here are the advantages if you define <code>data</code> in <code>dataset</code>:</p> <ul><li>Follow the ideas of data visualization: (I) Provide the data, (II)Mapping from data to visual to become a chart.</li> <li>Divide data from other configurations.

The default rule is:</p> <ul><li>In coordinate system (eg. Cartesian, Polar): + If there is category axis (axis.type = 'category'), map the first column(row) to the axis and each subsequent column(row) to each series. + If both axes is not the category, then map every two columns in one series to two axes.</li> <li>Without axis (such as Pie Chart): + Use the first column(row) as the name, second column(row) as value. ECharts will not set the name if there is only one column(row).</li></ul> <p>While the default rule cannot fulfill the requirements, you can configure <code>encode</code> by yourself, which is not complicate.
