How to view a fixed number of points on timechart of achartengine? - achartengine

For LineChart I used
XYMultipleSeriesRenderer mRenderer=new XYMultipleSeriesRenderer();
mRenderer.setXAxisMin(0);
mRenderer.setXAxisMax(30);
When I use the same for TimeChart, my graph disappears, only the layout is visible. Is there any other way I can display a fixed number or points on my graph?

This is because the X axis range for a time chart is much wider, given by the values returned from the getTime() method in Date.

Highcharts: Show x axis for missing data but ignoring certain area

I want to use the Highcharts StockChart library to make a chart. Here's more info on the chart I need to create:
The type of the chart is datetime
The data is being updated on every minute (it's data from stocks), so the chart is being constantly updated.
The data of the chart is from 9:00am to 11:40am and then from 12:35pm to 3:00pm (there's a lunch break).
The data is being shown with bars in an interval of 5 minutes (data is received for every 5 minutes except for the lunch break).
The bars will start to be drawn from left to right as the data is received.
The bars width needs to be the same size regardless of how many data is being shown on the chart.
The labels of x axis of the chart need to be always the same and on the same position (from 9:00am to 3:00pm every hour) even when there's missing data (a line must be drawn on the x axis).
So, I'm using the max property set to that day at 3:00pm on the x axis of the chart. With this, I can:
Have the bars width to be the same
Have the x axis be drawn regardless of the missing data on the same interval (until 3pm).
Everything works ok until the lunch break (11:40am). However, when receiving data for 12:35pm (after lunch break), the chart will ignore the max property and the last line of the x axis that is drawn is until 1pm (this line needs to be drawn until 3pm). I assume that this is because until 11:40am all the data for 5 minutes is present, so the chart understands the interval on which the data needs to be drawn and also can draw the x axis lines on the same interval. But as soon as there's a gap on the data, the chart doesn't know anymore if data will keep coming in an interval of 5 minutes, so will just take into consideration all the data that has received until now, ignoring the max property.
I have tried different options in order to solve the issue:
I used ordinal property set to false. With this, I can solve the issue of the missing x axis labels until 3pm, but the issue is that the lunch break will have a gap on the chart. I need to merge the lunch break and having the x axis labels drawn until 3pm.
I tried to use the tickInterval property and was able to set the interval of the x axis but only for the data that is being drawn. However, the x axis label it still until 1pm and needs to be until 3pm.
I tried to use the breaks property for the lunch break while using the ordinal property set to false but didn't work. Also, the chart needs to be merged on the lunch break; using this property will create a gap on purpose, so this property won't help me to fix this issue.
So, I noticed that the interval is being changed correctly where there's data, but the lines are not being drawn where there's no data on the x axis (only until 1pm and not until 3pm). And if I use the ordinal property, it will show all the x axis lines for the missing data, but need to hide the gap for the lunch break.
Any help with this is appreciated =)
UPDATE:
I noticed that when there's still no data, if using v1.3.1 of highcharts (the one I'm currently using), the x axis lines are being drawn correctly until 3pm, but if using the latest version this doesn't happen. It seems that the max property is being ignored for the latest version.
Including the links of jsfiddle for my code on the comments (since stackoverflow doesn't allow me to post many links because don't have enough reputation).
I was able to achieve what I wanted. In the end what I did was to create null data to fill this gap for the lunch break. Also, I created null data for the remaining data until 3pm, that way the x axis lines were drawn properly: https://jsfiddle.net/K4Cj6/201/:
[1504528800000,null,null,null,null]
Thanks anyway guys =)

Need Line chart With Dynamic X axis Values and data

I am working on iPhone applications.I Need Line chart With Dynamic X axis Values and data For showing temperature values in graph with scroll view enabled to scroll horizontally to view the further graph as the graph extends with time.
Y Axis Labels : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10;
X Axis labels : date1, date2, date3, date4, date5, date6, ...etc.
(Should increase dynamically for every 30 seconds)
Graph data is : Temperature on the x axis date (should increase dynamically with x axis)
The main Point is graph values should not submerge in same length, The graph should be extend out of screen and the user should be able to scroll horizontally to see the whole graph values.
thanks in advance.
I highly prefer below external library for the chart in iOS developement.
Which includes following types of graphs.
LineChart (with legend, simple design)
Combined-Chart (bar- and linechart in this case)
BarChart
BarChart (grouped DataSets)
Horizontal-BarChart
PieChart (with selection, ...)
ScatterChart
CandleStickChart
RadarChart
Find the iOS Github library from here .

Changing lables on x-axis like from Monday to show M as per window size in HighCharts

I am using highcharts library to draw chart and I need to display Weekdays as labels on x-axis and also to auto reset it like from Monday to M if all weekdays can't fit on screen.
It should be dynamic, which means no flickering should appear when changing label text on x-axis.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
There is no straight option for that, rather simple workaround:
Disable reflow from Highcharts, use window.resize browser event
In that event add condition to decide showing full name of just shortened, and set this for chart - chart.xAxis[0].dateTimeLabelFormats should be fine
After setting new format, apply new chart dimensions using chart.setSize(w, h)

Coreplot: Axis Labels Fixed Location

I'm trying to customize a Coreplot graph in many ways I can and the next thing I would like to do is place the X Axis Labels (one that is custom as well) at the bottom of the graph, independent of the X axis' position (whether it's scrolled up or down).
To make it clear, it is similar to giving the labels an offset value of something like 50.0. But offset is not the property I'm looking for since it fixes the labels location relative to the X axis.
Any way this can be done? Or do I have to skip the axisLabels property and place and layer or something manually at the bottom of the graph?
EDIT: Alright, I managed to place an axis on the bottom with CPTConstraints. But it's not on the bottommost. If a plot point is on those levels, the plot line overlaps the labels. I tired padding of the graph but of course, it moves the whole graph, hence the issue persists.
Thanks in advance
Make a second x-axis. Have the first one draw the axis line, tick marks, etc., as normal but no labels. Label the second one and set all of the line style properties to nil so it doesn't draw any of the lines.
Turns out that aside from the graph, the plotAreaFrame property of the CPTGrpah also has paddings. If you give more paddings to plotAreaFrame than that of the graph, the plot will be drawn in a smaller frame and the rest of the graph area will be for you to add what you want (i.e., a second Axis).
Big thanks to #Eric, for trying to answer Every single CorePlot question as soon as possible.
CorePlot does have a lot of customisation than I thought.

IOS Core-Plot: How to get visible range of X and Y axis

In Core-Plot I want to plot only the visible area of the plot. For this I need the visible range of the plot after Zoom-In and Zoom-Out.
Any Idea how to get visible range of X-Axis?
You can use a plot space delegate to find out when the plot ranges change. Each delegate method receives a reference to the plot space as one of its parameters. You can read the xRange and yRange to find out what the new ranges are.
You can get visible range of X-Axis using code like this:
space.graph.axisSet.xAxis.visibleAxisRange
