How do I pletely destroy a graph and then redraw one from scratch. The reason I need this is because I want to have the option of changing the graph type from let's say a bar graph to a line graph.

I don't think you can do that strait up, so instead I try to destroy the graph pletely and just make a new one.

plot.destroy();
$.jqplot("graph_id", [data], options);

The destroying went fine, but the reinit did not work at all. Any ideas?

• javascript
• jquery
• jqplot

• Do you get an error? Works for me: jsfiddle/larsenmtl/jAHYc/2 – Mark Commented Nov 23, 2011 at 23:10
• Yea sorry, I just found out that it was my own error. It works fine now :p – Bill Software Engineer Commented Nov 25, 2011 at 18:53

Do like the following,

var inti = new Array();
inti.push([0, 0, 0]);
var plot2 = $.jqplot('graph_id', inti, null);
plot2.destroy();
plot2 =$.jqplot("graph_id", [data], options);

this will redraw ur jqplot..

It was my own error, the jqplot worked just fine actually.
