In this reference picture, I want to change color to green of bar if it goes above AvgScor that is line bar
I am using chart.js mixed graph
in this img 4th one from the left is above avg score
var ctx = document.getElementById("overAllScore").getContext('2d');
var totalScoreData = [60,30,50,75,45,41]; // Add data values to array
var averageData = [61,45,55,70,46,52] // Add data values to array
var labels = ["A"," Q", "C","C","A","p"]; // Add labels to array
var overAllScore = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: labels,
datasets: [{
label: 'Scores', // Name the series
data: totalScoreData,
backgroundColor: 'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
borderWidth: 1
},
{
label: 'AvgScore',
data: averageData,
backgroundColor: '#f443368c',
borderColor: '#f443368c',
borderWidth: 1, // Specify bar border width
type: 'line',
fill: false
}]
},
options: {
responsive: true, // Instruct chart js to respond nicely.
maintainAspectRatio: false,
scales: {
yAxes: [{
display: true,
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true,
steps: 10,
max: 100
}
}]
}
}
});<canvas id="overAllScore" style="display: block; width: 765px; height: 382px;" width="765" height="382" class="chartjs-render-monitor"></canvas>

var ctx = document.getElementById("overAllScore").getContext('2d');
var totalScoreData = [60,30,50,75,45,41]; // Add data values to array
var averageData = [61,45,55,70,46,52] // Add data values to array
var labels = ["A"," Q", "C","C","A","p"]; // Add labels to array
function colorGenerator() {
return totalScoreData.map((child,index) => {
if (child >= averageData[index]){
return 'rgba(5, 250, 10, 0.2)'
} else {
return 'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)'
}
})
}
var overAllScore = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: labels,
datasets: [{
label: 'Scores', // Name the series
data: totalScoreData,
backgroundColor: colorGenerator, //set the colors with a function
borderWidth: 1
},
{
label: 'AvgScore',
data: averageData,
backgroundColor: '#f443368c',
borderColor: '#f443368c',
borderWidth: 1, // Specify bar border width
type: 'line',
fill: false
}]
},
options: {
responsive: true, // Instruct chart js to respond nicely.
maintainAspectRatio: false,
scales: {
yAxes: [{
display: true,
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true,
steps: 10,

}
}]
}
}
});

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]"></script>Next, we can figure out a way to change the color of the bar based on its value and the average value.
The result is this:
And to achieve this we needed to do the following:
Firstly, set up the two data arrays:
var totalScoreData = [60,30,50,75,45,41];
var averageData = [61,45,55,70,46,52]
Then modify the new Chart constructor:
var overAllScore = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: labels,
datasets: [{
label: 'Scores', // Name the series
data: totalScoreData,
backgroundColor: colorGenerator, //set the colors with a function
borderWidth: 1
},
{
label: 'AvgScore',
data: averageData,
backgroundColor: '#f443368c',
borderColor: '#f443368c',
borderWidth: 1, // Specify bar border width
type: 'line',
fill: false
}]
}, ...
The key line to notice here is backgroundColor: colorGenerator, for the scores dataset. This means assign the colors based on a function.
This function looks like this:
function colorGenerator() {
return totalScoreData.map((child,index) => {
if (child >= averageData[index]){
return 'rgba(5, 250, 10, 0.2)' //green
} else {
return 'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)' //red
}
})
}
What it does is take the totalScoreData array and map over it, wherever it is above the corresponding average data at the same index - averageData[index] then return a green color, otherwise return the red color.
That's it :)
