Byte mode plugin for jQuery Flot

About

This is a plugin for the jQuery powered Flot plotting library. It's goal is to make it easy to manage and display byte values on a chart. It uses labels everything as binary multiples rather than decimal figures (ie: GiB rather than GB).

Dependencies

The following packages are necessary for this module.

• jQuery
• Flot

Usage

The usage integrates in the same way as the native flot plugins, such as jquery.flot.time.

yaxis: {
	min: 0,
	mode: "byte",
	axisLabel: "Bytes of data"
}

Similarly, when expressing transfer rates, such as MiB/s.

yaxis: {
	min: 0,
	mode: "byteRate",
	axisLabel: "Transfer rate"
}

By default, this plugin will format using base 2 where 1 KiB = 1024 bytes, to change to base 1000 where 1 kB = 1000 bytes, you can specify a base.

yaxis: {
	mode: "byte",
	base: 10
}
