Filled series dependent on gradient

[Richard Fairhurst]

Hi,

Slightly obscure request, but I'm posting in case someone has a pointer as to the best way to start.

I have a filled graph that represents the elevation profile of a bike ride.

I'd like to have the fill colour-coded by the gradient of the line. So, flat sections would be coloured in a neutral section, steep uphills would be coloured in red, steep downhills coloured in green, and so on. A bit like this:

I can do the code to assign a colour to each section, that's no problem. Where I'd appreciate hints is how best to hook this into Flot - any ideas?

All the best

Richard

Hi,

I would propose to generate one series for each color and then insert null values in between to data points where you don't want the points to be connected.

Like this you should be able to generate the desired output.

That's a really good idea - hadn't thought of that. Thank you, I'll give it a go.

All the best
