Context Menu or Right Click in Google Visualization Motion chart

[Himanshu Jain]

Hello Everyone,

I have been working on Motion charts and looking if I can have right click or something like onclick method to the elements within a Google Visualization Motion chart?  For example, if a user clicks on point within the chart, then I can redirect the user to a page with more details. I've gone all through the documentation and can't find an example of how to do this.

Though, there is a "select" event available in case of "line charts" that works as per my expectation, but that isn't working in case of Motion charts. Any suggestions please. Thank you.

Regards,

Himanshu.

Google cancels the propagation of right-click events in almost all visualizations, so you cannot capture them, sorry.

Ok. But, what about left click option (also known as "select" event) which is currently available in case of line/bar charts but not for Motion charts. Pls. refer below code as an example:

google.visualization.events.addListener(chart, 'select', function() {

       location.href = 'http://www.google.com';

     });

Is there a way to redirect to a URL by clicking/selecting a bubble and passing its value too. Thank you.

The MotionCharts don’t support the same range of events as the other charts: https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/motionchart#Events

In order to get the selected elements out of the MotionChart, you have to tease them out of the chart's state.  Here's an example of how to do it: http://jsfiddle.net/asgallant/DunKF/4/

It worked. Many thanks. But, it would be great if I can get values of other attributes too for the selected bubble, like date, expenses, sales and location in the current example, so that I can pass them as a query string. 

   *  arr.push(selection[i].key.dim0);

The way the MotionCharts work, you are not guaranteed to have a DataTable entry for the selected element at a given time, as the chart creates interpolated data points in between the values in the DataTable.  You can access the state's "date" parameter to get a string-representation of the currently selected time and try to use that along with the selected value(s) to find some relevant data in the DataTable.
