I am using Chartjs 4.0.1 and chartjs-plugin-zoom 2.0.0 and my chart look like this:
I have set the drag option to be enabled so the user can draw a rectangle to zoom in. Also I have set the zoom mode to 'x'. So the user can only zoom in on the x axis but not on the y axis.
Now I want to limit how far the user can zoom in, to a timespan of one month. I have managed to do that when using the mousewheel to zoom in. But I dont know how to achive the same when using the drag option. I have it configured like this:
drag:{
enabled: true,
backgroundColor:'rgba(180,180,180,0.4)',
threshold: 25,
}
The threshold seems to be my best option to a limit. However that is in pixels and it only says how wide the drawn rectangle has to be for a zoom to occur.
I am already using the onZoomStart callback to check how far the chart is zoomed in and based on that decide if the user can zoom in even more. But apparently that callback is only executed when zooming by mousewheel but not when dragging. So I think I would need to be able to set the threshold of the drag object dynamically. Does anyone know how to do that?
Also I was wondering, is it possible to change the border color of the rectangle when dragging to show the user if it is big enough for a scroll to occur?
The standard solution seems to be to set a limits:{x:{minRange:...}} option. It took me a while to realise where that option should be inserted.
Below is a code snippet with some data resembling yours and a minRange set to 90 days (so I can skip adjusting the tick interval).
Also, there's a hack that changes the color of the drag rectangle to red if the interval is less than the 90 days. It can easily be adapted to completely reject the zoom for less than the desired interval, instead of the current standard behavior which is to adjust (extend) the interval until it is equal to minRange.
The same in this fiddle.
const nPoints = 400,
t0 = Date.parse("2018-06-02T00:00:00Z"),
dt = 2.5*365/nPoints*24*3600*1000;
const data = Array.from(

I would like to present a bar chart using Apex Charts.
The graphs shows some items, the more items the longer you can do some stuff. The items are presented in the Y axis. The X axis should represent months in a year, therefore I want it to be fixed between 0 and 12.
With the following options, it skips some numbers in the x axis:
var options = {
series: [{ data: [3,4,6,7,8.5] }],
chart: { type: 'bar', height: 250 },
plotOptions: {
bar: { borderRadius: 4, horizontal: true }
},
dataLabels: { enabled: false },
xaxis: {
categories: [2,3,5,6,7],
min: 0,
max: 12,
},
yaxis: {
labels: { formatter: function (val) { return val + ' items'; } },
},
title: {
text: 'Chart title', floating: true, align: 'center',
style: { color: '#444' }
}
};
If I omit the min/max in the xaxis, it works fine but the 12 months are not fixed as required.
In the example the 9 is skipped, but the actual bars are scalled correctly
I am loading the library using de direct script include:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/apexcharts"></script>
Here you can find the official example/docs: https://apexcharts.com/javascript-chart-demos/bar-charts/basic/
Have I overlooked something? Or is it a bug?
Setting tickAmount to 12 seems to fix the problem, but I does not behave correctly with other numbers. (if I use 13 then it inserts two 6 tiks instead of inserting decimals)
I'm trying to put data into chartJS and have it automatically scroll when it reaches the end
so like when it reaches here
it will keep adding data without the user having to scroll, is there any ways that I can do this without the scroll bar at the bottom?
Automatic scrolling without visible scroll bar would means that the user can never see data again that was scrolled out of the visible area. If this is what you want, you can simply remove outdated labels and dataset values once a certain limit is reached. This can be done using Array.shift(), which removes the first element from an array.
chart.data.labels.push(<new label>);
chart.data.datasets[0].data.push(<new value>);
if (chart.data.labels.length > maxValues) {
chart.data.labels.shift();
chart.data.datasets[0].data.shift();
}
chart.update();
Please have a look at the runnable code snippet below that allows up to 10 labels and values. Once this limit is reached, outdated labels and values are removed.
var chart = new Chart('canvas', {
type: "line",
responsive: true,
maintainAspectRatio: false,
data: {
labels: [],
datasets: [{
label: "Data",
data: [],
fill: true,
backgroundColor: "lightblue",
borderColor: "lightblue",
pointRadius: 0
}]
},
options: {
legend: {
display: true,
position: 'bottom'
},
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
min: 0,
max: 20,
stepSize: 5
}
}]
}
}
});
var maxValues = 10;
var count = 0;
setInterval(() => {
chart.data.labels.push(++count);
chart.data.datasets[0].data.push(Math.floor((Math.random() * 20) + 1));
if (chart.data.labels.length > maxValues) {
chart.data.labels.shift();
chart.data.datasets[0].data.shift();
}
chart.update();
}, 1000);

Is it possible to define a bar chart with a multi level/category axis?
For instance I'd like to display the Region/Province categories like in this Excel chart:
I found this example using multiple xAxes.
xAxes:[
{
id:'xAxis1',
type:"category",
ticks:{
callback:function(label){
var month = label.split(";")[0];
var year = label.split(";")[1];
return month;
}
}
},
{
id:'xAxis2',
type:"category",
gridLines: {
drawOnChartArea: false, // only want the grid lines for one axis to show up
},
ticks:{
callback:function(label){
var month = label.split(";")[0];
var year = label.split(";")[1];
if(month === "February"){
return year;
}else{
return "";
}
}
}
}
]
The problem is it seems that the two axes are not really linked and the alignment of second axis is based on values instead of aligning in middle of lower level category. this case cause issues
Is there a clean way to achieve this in chart.js?
Update:
I ended up creating a feature request on chartjs.
you can provide value separately for different axis via datesets and provide an object with different configuration option (borderColor, pointBackgroundColor, pointBorderColor) etc, i hope It'll help.
here is the link for the with an update (fiddle you shared) Updated Fiddle
data: {
labels: ["January;2015", "February;2015", "March;2015", "January;2016", "February;2016", "March;2016"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
xAxisID:'xAxis1',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3]
},
// here i added another data sets for xAxisID 2 and it works just fine
{
label: '# of Potatoes',
xAxisID:'xAxis2',
data: [9, 17, 28, 26, 29, 9]
}]
}
I hope that solves your problem :)
Hope this helps,
I did a bit of research and couldn't find methods to implement your solution in chartjs. Chartjs has grouped bar charts but not subgrouped bar charts like in your case.
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/harshakj89/ax3zxtzw/
Here are some alternatives,
D3js (https://d3js.org/) can be used to create sub grouped bar charts.Data can be loaded from csv or json. D3 is highly configurable, but you may have to put some effort than chartsjs.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15764698/loading-d3-js-data-from-a-simple-json-string
ZingChart is a commercial tool and can be used to implement bar charts with sub groupes.
https://www.zingchart.com/docs/chart-types/bar-charts/
But I prefer D3 over this library. because D3 comes under BSD License.
This should work as per your requirement http://tobiasahlin.com/blog/chartjs-charts-to-get-you-started/#8-grouped-bar-chart
The best library I could found to have exactly this feature is Highcharts, this is my implementation:
and here http://jsfiddle.net/fieldsure/Lr5sjh5x/2/ you can find out how to implement it.
$(function () {
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({

},

categories: ["Vendor 1", "Vendor 2", "Vendor 3"]
}, {

But the problem is the library is not free for commercial purposes, and this is the Chartjs implementation, in my case it is look like this:

Using Chart.js, I'm trying to get the x-axis (and toolips) to show a DATE, but all I can get are large integers appearing as the x-axis label. I've compared what the example in the documentation does and I don't see what it's doing that i'm not. Can anyone please help?
Here's the tiny example that I created showing it not working.
(btw - as a side issue, notice that if the color of the RED line is spelled Red rather than red, the line looks normal, but tooltips no longer work on that line)

First of all, since the documentation is messy, I'm not surprised you didn't get how to create a time-scale chart. The actual call is the following :
window.myScatterxx = Chart.Scatter(ctx, {
data: chartData,
options: {
title: {
display: true,
text: "it is now working",
fontSize: 36
},
scales: {
xAxes: [{
// This is the important part
type: "time",
}]
}
},
});
Now you have the correct syntax, you'd need to import the correct library as well. As I can see in the piece of code you gave, you imported Chart.min.js, but you need more since you know work with the time element.
You can either :
Import Moment.js (CDN link) and then Chart.min.js.
Import Chart.bundle.min.js, that contains both Moment and Chart libraries.
Finally, I also noticed in your code you had a problem displaying tooltips for the red dataset. It is because you defined its color as Red. Change it to red and tooltips will work again :
datasets: [{
borderColor: 'red',
label: 'Capital R in borderColor, tooltips now work',
data: [
// ...
]
}]
You can see all these fixes live in this jsFiddle, and here is the final result :
