I am plotting a chart with ‘y’ axis being numeric values and ‘x’ axis being date time values.
I was able to process a JSON object of 3000 items. However, because of our business rules, we also need to display the time: hours + minutes in the chart’s tooltips.
This changed everything!
Now the chart takes about 15 seconds to plot 2000 records. This is unacceptable.
I can see clearly that when I remove the time part of my Date object the charts works perfectly. It is just when added the hours and minutes that performance gets affected.
Trying different things I realized that your charts should support the amount of data I am using since it is not massive.
We love the charts but performance is key for us to continue using your products.
Can you help me with this issue?
Please check this fiddle so you can understand my problem. Feel free to remove the hours and minutes variables from the DateUtc creation:

Please take a look to the browser console, you have information there about error: Highcharts error #15: www.highcharts.com/errors/15.
This means that you have unsorted data, so you need to sort them:
newSeries.sort(function(a, b){
return a.x - b.x
});

I made a barchart with dates. Currently, to remove the dates, you must click on the dates in the legend. I wish delete multiple dates at once.
Let's take an example. My dates range from 1960 to 2015. If I would have on my chart the dates from 2000 to 2005, so I would like that if you click on 1960 and 1999, then all the dates between are deleted / hidden. It goes faster when many dates.
How to do ?
Here is my code :
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'column'
},
colors:[
'#7cb5ec',
'#434348',
'#90ed7d',
'#f7a35c',

],

Rather than having each year as its own series, I would recommend that you place the years as the values in your x-axis (as categories) and then use Highcharts' native zoom function to allow users to select a certain date range.
I've updated your fiddle with some changes, which I explain below: https://jsfiddle.net/brightmatrix/hr28s27L/
First, in your chart option, I added zoomType: 'x' to allow users to use their mouse to zoom in on specific years. The value x means they can only zoom horizontally (across), which makes for a "cleaner" interaction.
chart: {
type: 'column',
zoomType: 'x'
},
Second, I updated your x-axis with the years as the categories/values:
xAxis: {
categories: ['2004','2005','2006','2007','2008','2009','2010','2011','2012','2013','2014','2015','2016']
},
Lastly, I updated your series to show just the data points, which are then plotted on the y-axis:
series: [{
name: 'data by year',
data: [49.9,83.6,48.9,69.1,83.6,40.9,69.9,83,28.9,40.9,81.6,24.9,46.4]
}]
Here is what happens when a user clicks and drags their mouse cursor:
The shaded box is what they are selecting. Once they release the cursor, the chart will automatically adjust to show only what they chose. A "Reset Zoom" button will appear at the top right to allow them to go back to all years:
Update (July 19, 2016): I did some research on adding a simple slider element to this chart that allows users to choose from a range of years.
An updated version of my fiddle that shows this example chart with sliders can be found here: https://jsfiddle.net/brightmatrix/uvat8u05/.
The code to handle the sliders is shown below. I discovered that explicitly setting the slider values to integers using the parseInt() function solved a couple of problems:
You can correctly compare the slider values to make sure users can't choose an end year that is earlier than the start year.
The setExtremes() function correctly shows a single year when users choose the same start and end year.
All x-axis labels are shown at all times. Before I added parseInt(), some labels disappeared when users chose different values in the sliders.
Please be sure to read the comments I've left in both the HTML and Javascript panes, as I've included additional details on why I made certain code decisions.
// on change handler for both sliders
$('.mySlider').bind('change', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var chart = $('#container').highcharts();
// convert the slider values to integers to make sure setExtremes() works as expected
var slider1Val = parseInt($('input[name="slider1"]').val());
var slider2Val = parseInt($('input[name="slider2"]').val());
if (slider2Val < slider1Val) {
// warn the user if they try to choose an end year that is later than the start year
alert("You can't choose an end year that is earlier than your start year.");
} else {
// use setExtremes to set the x-axis ranges based on the values in the sliders
chart.xAxis[0].setExtremes(slider1Val, slider2Val);
}
});
I hope this information is helpful for you.

I'm currently trying to use this block of code to parse the data, this function is called in the completionHandler of an Alamofire request:
func succesCurResponse(let response : Response<String, NSError>) {
if let value = response.result.value {
let json = JSON(value)
let error = json["error"].stringValue
print(json["data"].error)
if(error.isEmpty) {
for(var i = 0; i < json["data"]["cursusses"].count; i++) {
let name = json["data"]["cursusses"][i]["cursus"]["curNaam"].stringValue
let id = json["data"]["cursusses"][i]["cursus"]["curId"].intValue
let catId = json["data"]["cursusses"][i]["cursus"]["catId"].intValue
let info = json["data"]["cursusses"][i]["cursus"]["curInfo"].stringValue
let thumbnail = json["data"]["cursusses"][i]["cursus"]["curThumbnail"].stringValue
let newCur = Cursus()
newCur.ID = id
newCur.name = name
newCur.info = info
newCur.thumbnail = thumbnail
}
}
else {
print(error)
}
}
}
Any suggestions?
Sorry, I don't know Swift. But the following Objective-C code will help you to resolve your issue.
Objective-C :
NSArray *cursussesArray = json[#"cursusses"];
for (NSDictionary *singlecursusseDict in cursussesArray) {
NSLog(#"%#", singlecursusseDict);
NSDictionary *cursus = singlecursusseDict[#"cursus"];
}
I give a try in Swift
let cursussesArray:NSArray = json[“cursusses”]
for singlecursusseDict: NSDictionary in cursussesArray {
print(singlecursusseDict)
cursusDict: NSDictionary = json[“cursus”]
print(cursusDict)
}
