I'm trying to draw two charts using the Google Charts API. I set up my HTML like this:
<div id="page_views" data-title="{{ report['page_views']['title'] }}" data-labels="{{ report['page_views']['labels'] }}" data-rows="{{ report['page_views']['rows'] }}"></div>
<div id="event_views" data-title="{{ report['event_views']['title'] }}" data-labels="{{ report['event_views']['labels'] }}" data-rows="{{ report['event_views']['rows'] }}"></div>
where the data attributes are filled during template rendering. I then use the following javascript to attempt to draw my charts:
google.load('visualization', '1.0', {packages: ['line']});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawCharts);
function drawPageViews() {
var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
var page_views = document.getElementById("page_views");
var labels = eval(page_views.dataset.labels);
data.addColumn('number', "Day");
for(var i = 0; i < labels.length; i++) {
data.addColumn('number', labels[i]);
}
var rows = eval(page_views.dataset.rows);
data.addRows(rows);
var options = {
chart: {
title: page_views.dataset.title
},
width: 900,
height: 500
};
var chart = new google.charts.Line(document.getElementById('page_views'));
chart.draw(data, options);
}
function drawEventViews() {
var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
var event_views = document.getElementById("event_views");
var labels = eval(event_views.dataset.labels);
data.addColumn('number', "Day");
for(var i = 0; i < labels.length; i++) {
data.addColumn('number', labels[i]);
}
var rows = eval(event_views.dataset.rows);
data.addRows(rows);
var options = {
chart: {
title: event_views.dataset.title
},
width: 900,
height: 500
};
var chart = new google.charts.Line(document.getElementById('event_views'));
chart.draw(data, options);
}
function drawCharts() {
drawPageViews();
drawEventViews();
}
The result that I get is that one of the charts is drawn while the other contains an SVG with an empty tag and nothing else inside. Which chart gets drawn is random. Commenting out either draw function makes the other single chart draw as expected.
It seems like there must be some sort of shared global state or variable but it looks to me like everything is defined in the different draw functions. When I look up similar questions people offer solutions which look very much like what I'm doing. What am I missing?
