Visualizing Distance Traveled by Football Players with ZingChart
In this tutorial, we’ll create a scatter plot using ZingChart to visualize the distance traveled by players in different football games. The chart shows simulated data across multiple games, giving insight into the distances covered minute by minute.
Code Explanation
This code snippet uses JavaScript to generate fake data for eight games, then configures and renders a scatter plot using ZingChart.
- Games Data: Each game is represented as a unique data series.
- Randomized Distances: Distances for each minute in the game are randomized to mimic real-world distribution.
- Chart Configuration: The chart is set up with ZingChart’s scatter plot type, customizable markers, and axes.
Below is the full HTML and JavaScript code for creating this chart.

Running the Code
- Copy the code into an HTML file and open it in your browser.
- You should see a scatter plot with each game represented, showing random distances traveled by players across 90 minutes.
Conclusion
This chart provides a clear and customizable way to represent time-based data, such as player movements, with ZingChart. Happy coding!
