Maximum number of datapoints allowed in a highcharts/stock series data hash - highcharts

I seem to be running into some kind of limit to the number of datapoints I can have in my series datahash. I am creating my data hash like so:
var data_hash = [];
var limit = 1000;
for(var i = 0; i < limit; i++)
{
data_hash.push({myData:'blah',
x: i,
y: (i+1)});
}
$(function() {
$('#container').highcharts('StockChart', {
tooltip: {
formatter: function() {
var s = '';
$.each(this.points, function(i, point) {
s += 'x: '+ point.x;
s += ', y: '+point.y;
});
return s;
}
},
series: [{
name: 'series_limit',
data: data_hash
}]
});
});
If I set the limit variable to 1000 or lower the graph will render just fine. However if I were to increase it to any value higher than that the graph will stop rendering. Is there something wrong with the way I am constructing my hash? Or is there some kind of configuration setting I can change to increase the number of datapoints allowed?
Here is a link to the jsfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/hYtUj/13/

Default number of datapoints before highcharts starts using arrays is 1000.You can change this value in chart options(parameter threshold)

Set turboThreshhold option to 0 or use two dimensional array with x and y values (turboThreshold)
data_hash.push([i+1, i]); // instead of {x: i, y: i+1}

Highchart - Boxplot - Extra category shown with no data

When I'm drawing BOX Plot chart with Highchart like this : JSFiddle
chart: {
type: 'boxplot',
}
where category 2 "Merchant 2" is shown on x-axis even though we don't have data for it.
How can we avoid rendering categories on x-axis when they don't have data in box plot ?
Thank you
There's no built in mechanism in Highcharts that'll filter out and hide "unused" categories.
Workaround:
breaks functionality allows to hide regions on axes. Here's an algorithm that finds the categories that don't have any points above them and applies breaks:
render: function() {
if (redrawEnabled) {
redrawEnabled = false;
var emptyCategories = [],
series = this.series,
xAxis = this.xAxis[0],
categories = xAxis.categories.slice(),
categoryFlags = new Array(categories.length).fill(false), // indicates if any point has a value for category with the given index
breaks = [],
correspondingPoint;
// find out which categories are 'used'
for (var i = 0; i < categories.length; i++) {
for (var ii = 0; ii < series.length; ii++) {
if (!series[ii].visible) {
continue;
}
correspondingPoint = series[ii].data.find((point) => point.x === i);
if (correspondingPoint) {
categoryFlags[i] = true;
break;
}
}
}
// create and apply breaks
categoryFlags.forEach(function(flag, index) {
if (!flag) {
breaks.push({
from: index - 0.5,
to: index + 0.5
});
}
});
//console.log(breaks)
xAxis.update({
breaks: breaks
});
}
redrawEnabled = true;
}
Live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/fubwdm4x/
The key to understand how this solution works is that the categories are basically just information how to format axis' labels and position ticks. The tickInterval is always 1 and ticks are moved -0.5 to the left. So if you have categories like this: ['Category 1', 'Category 2', 'Category 3'] the positions of ticks are: -0.5, 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5.

Highcharts : Set an y offset to the series

Situation : Chart with some analogic-series and some digital-series (0-1).
The problem is with the digital series. I would like to make sure that the series do not overlap like the image 1.
My idea is to set an "y-offset" on the digital-series, to have a result like the image 2.
This is a part of the y Axis configuration of the digital series. All the digital-series is related to a single y Axis (with id digital).
id : "digital",
min: 0,
max : 1,
ceiling:1,
floor : 0,
tickInterval: 1
Image 1.
Image 2.
In the documentation i can't find anything that can help me. And this is not my case.
UPDATE
Example on JSFIDDLE. Look (yes it's impossible currently) at the digital series with green color.
If you add a function in the load event, you can change the value of y in a way that makes it look offset. Like this:
chart: {
events: {
load: function() {
var series = this.series;
for (var i = 0; i < series.length; i++) {
if (series[i].yAxis.userOptions.id == "digital") {
for (var j = 0; j < series[i].data.length; j++) {
if (series[i].data[j].y == 1) {
series[i].data[j].y = 1 + 0.1 * i;
} else {
series[i].data[j].y = 0
}
}
this.update(series, true, false);
}
}
}
}
}
This sets the new y value equal to 0.1 * the series index.

Highcharts - Stack Graph Display Average of all values

I am using highcharts for statistical data displaying. I want to display , on the stack label , the average of all the values .
Below is what i am doing but i cant seem to get it right :
yAxis: {
min: 0,
title: {
text: 'Task'
},
stackLabels: {
style: {
color: 'black'
},
enabled: true,
formatter: function() {
return (this.axis.series[1].yData[this.x]).toPrecision(2) + '%';
}
}
},
The above only takes the last value on the stack and shows the percentage. For instance , if the last value is 50 , the above displays 50% as the stack value . I want to take an average of all the values. Any help would be appreciated.
If you want to show any stack's percentage mean if your stacked column has two stack A-5 and B-10 , then the % of B in column is 66% and % of A is 33%. If you want to show that use following in formatter function ( refer This Fiddle Link)
formatter: function() {
return (this.axis.series[1].yData[this.x] / this.total * 100).toPrecision(2) + '%';
}
Updating as per OP 's comment Refer Working fiddle here
Use following code : Make your data in a variable and calculate the sum
var seriesData = [{
name: 'Incomplete',
data: [1, 3, 4, 7, 20]
}, {
name: 'Complete',
data: [3, 4, 4, 2, 5]
}];
var total = 0;
$.each(seriesData,function(item){
$.each(seriesData[item].data,function() {
total += this;
});
});
And then use following in stacklabel formatter :
formatter: function() {
return ( this.total/ total * 100).toPrecision(2) + '%';
}
series:seriesData
hope it helps :)
This doesn't seem to be as easy as it should be.
I would accomplish this by pre-processing the data to generate an array of averages, and then referencing that array from the stackLabels formatter function.
Example, build the averages (assumes array 'data' with sub array for each series data values):
var sum = 0;
var averages = [];
var dataLen = data.length;
$.each(data[0], function(x, point) {
sum = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < dataLen; i++) {
sum += data[i][x];
}
averages.push(sum/dataLen);
})
And then in the formatter:
yAxis : {
stackLabels: {
enabled: true,
formatter: function() {
return Highcharts.numberFormat(averages[this.x],2);
}
}
}
Example:
http://jsfiddle.net/jlbriggs/vatdrecb/
If I could find a way to get a reliable count of the points in each stack, you could just use
return this.total/countOfPoints;
in the formatter without needing to build an array, but I can't seem to reliably get that count.

Set navigator min zoom

I'm trying to set the min zoom (max range) of my chart. Basically I'm trying to do the opposite of the minRange property. I'm struggling for a while with this problem. I have a "solution", but I don't like it, this solution allow the user to choose a range greater then the "max range", and immediately correct it.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
$(function() {
var lastMin;
var lastMax;
var maxRange = 12 * 30 * 24 * 3600 * 1000; //12 month
$('#container').highcharts('StockChart', {
scrollbar: {
liveRedraw: false
},
xAxis: {
events: {
afterSetExtremes: function(e) {
var max = this.max,
min = this.min;
if (lastMin && lastMax) {
if(max-min > maxRange) {
if (min < lastMin) {
min = max - maxRange;
} else {
max = min + maxRange;
}
}
}
var x = this;
setTimeout(function(){
x.setExtremes(min,max); //chart xAxis
}, 1);
lastMin = min;
lastMax = max;
}
}
},
rangeSelector: {
selected: 1
},
series: [{
name: 'USD to EUR',
data: usdeur
}]
});
});
I want to block the user from choosing a range greater than the allowed, in other words, block the navigator when it's too big
I'm also following this issue, I tried all the proposed solution, but I'm having errors ("Uncaught ReferenceError: Highcharts is not defined")
Thanks Sebastian!
I managed to find a solution (fiddle) wrapping the "render" function. Doing that I managed to really set a "min zoom" on the navigator bar.
$(function() {
var lastX0;
var lastX1;
var maxRange = 100; //100 pixels
(function (H) {
H.wrap(H.Scroller.prototype, 'render', function (proceed) {
console.log(arguments)
if(arguments[4] - arguments[3] > maxRange + 2) {
if (arguments[3] < lastX0) {
arguments[3] = lastX0;
} else {
arguments[4] = lastX1;
}
}
proceed.apply(this, [].slice.call(arguments, 1));
lastX0 = arguments[3];
lastX1 = arguments[4];
});
}(Highcharts));
$('#container').highcharts('StockChart', {
scrollbar: {
liveRedraw: true
},
series: [{
name: 'USD to EUR',
data: usdeur
}]
});
var highchart = $('#container').highcharts();
var extremes = highchart.xAxis[0].getExtremes();
var rangeTotal = extremes.max - extremes.min;
var f = maxRange / $('#container').width();
highchart.xAxis[0].setExtremes(extremes.max - (f * rangeTotal), extremes.max);
});
In the sample code I'm used a fixed amount of pixels, but in my real application i'm making it dynamic. I making this, because I can't use the data grouping property in the software that I'm working, and since the minimum size of a bar in a chart is 1 pixel (obviously) highcharts hide some bars (or points).
I'm setting the minimum zoom so all bar in the displayed range are visible , since the user can't display a higher range in the x Axis the "hidden" bar "problem" (is an awesome feature, but I can't make use of it) won't happen

Highcharts - Dyanmic graph with no initial data

If you open this JSFiddle with the dynamic spline update it loads the series with 20 points before it starts updating every second.
Example
I don't want to display any initial data and let the interval add the points as they come in.
So I change:
series: [{
name: 'Random data',
data: (function() {
// generate an array of random data
var data = [],
time = (new Date()).getTime(),
i;
for (i = -19; i <= 0; i++) {
data.push({
x: time + i * 1000,
y: Math.random()
});
}
return data;
})()
}]
to
series: [{
name: 'Random data',
data: []
}]
But it doesnt add the points. Is there something I am missing?
Change your load function so that the shift parameter doesn't apply before you've added your 20 values, see this jsfiddle
load: function() {
// set up the updating of the chart each second
var series = this.series[0],
maxSamples = 20,
count = 0;
setInterval(function() {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y = Math.random();
series.addPoint(
[x,y]
, true
, (++count >= maxSamples)
);
}, 1000);
}
The third parameter of addPoint is set if you what to shift a point after add this one.
So, what is happening ?
You're adding a point and then removing it.
Change:
series.addPoint([x, y], true, true);
To:
series.addPoint([x, y], true);
