I want to shift a chart in another way than addPoint does. You can see what I mean in my JSFIDDLE: http://jsfiddle.net/Charissima/TEEdw/3/
When the chart has filled the container and the next point is added, it shifts to the left without losing the first point.
It works fine, but sometimes I can see the chart swapping a little bit. And even worth: when running over a longer time the chart gets lost. It still works, you can see it shifting and updating y in the upper right corner, but the chart is not visible any more. Even the navigator is empty.
So my question is: Is there a better and smarter way to shift the chart this way?
data.push([ xTime, prevY ]);
data.push([ xTime, y ]);
series.setData(data, true);
var faktor = ( (chart.xAxis[0].max - chart.xAxis[0].min) / 60 / 1000 ) * 200;
chart.xAxis[0].setExtremes( chart.xAxis[0].min + faktor, chart.xAxis[0].max + faktor);
I've been working on a chart with very similar attributes and have run into similar problems. One of the undesired effects of the addPoint() shift flag is that it tries to keep the data set the same size it was initialized with. I'm guessing that is your reason for not using it. It doesn't allow you to grow your data set to a certain size and then start shifting. I had this issue with the shift so I resorted to doing exactly what you are doing. I think this is the generally accepted alternative to addPoint().
But... couple that with the idea that Highchart (or maybe just Highstock) appears to have a max number of data points it will handle. I don't know if it is the same for all charts (or even for all users/browsers) but for me yours seems to disappear when the data count is 1000. See this fiddle: > jsfiddle.net/TEEdw/4/ you can watch the data length grow to 1000 and then the chart disappears. I was running into the same issue on my chart. My solution was more complicated due to other factors in my chart. But a simple solution is to monitor the data count and when it approaches 1000, switch to the addPoint() with shift method. See this fiddle: > jsfiddle.net/TEEdw/5/ There is probably other ways to allow the data set to grow and then shift at a certain point. But this one just used your existing code. You could probably dynamically set the shift flag based on data length and only set it true once the data reaches a certain length.
EDIT: Ok... there is also a plotOptions setting called turboThreshold (http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#plotOptions.series.turboThreshold) that can be disabled. It defaults to 1000 (so that makes sense). Setting it to zero allowed your chart to keep going after 1000. See this fiddle: jsfiddle.net/TEEdw/6/

While using Delphi Seattle 10 and Steema TeeChart Pro VCL FMX 2016.18, I am looking to Highlight a Selection of a Line Graph (multiple series) in the way that Zooming allows / makes a square around a highlighted selection of a Line Graph to indicate which part of it to zoom into (as long as the onmousedown action is in progress).
The purpose of this would be to allow the selection to remain highlighted while the mouse is no longer being clicked, to potentially "Delete" the highlighted Data points. All I need this for is to obtain the (X0 Y0 X1 Y1) values to possibly obtain the CalcPosPoint(X) and remove all the points inside. The data is currently obtained through a Record Struct (Memory Mapped) file, and it will there for be used to set/check for a property "deleted" to indicate on the next redraw of the graph which rows to completely ignore and which to continue printing.
I hope to be able to do this (select from 1 chart), and have it simultaneously draw on multiple graphs. I have tried to look for an example of this feature through the use of TSelectorTool (FMXTee). One of the pages I found referring to such a tool is Interactive data point selection as well as Multiple selections with Selector Tool
And my second question has to do with TeeCharts directly. Where would I find fmx240.bpl as TeeChart_Pro_Firemonkey_Demo.exe requires this file in order to run? I did manage to copy vcl240.bpl from "Embarcadero\Studio\18.0\bin" and put it into "Embarcadero\Studio\17.0\bin"

I have managed to capture / create a sample code (MVCE) from which I can now select a portion and create a square around a particular sample of graph lines.
The control graph right now is the bottom graph (Chart5). If anyone is interested in seeing the code, I have put up a pastebin sample.
PasteBin Sample Code
And a TeeCharts.tar.gz is accessible to anyone who wishes to see a sample of the code, as well as the data sample.

I no longer feel the need for mathematical equation to differentiate the top graphs from the bottom (because the bottom axes are automatic where as the top are defined). I intend to only use the space which is adherent to the visible space, and do not intend to extend in either direction (left or right). That means at this point the size of the graph does not matter, because once I over populate the charts above, the position in the bottom graph would become irrelevant, and therefor I do not intend to use the bottom chart.
The next step is to save the positions of the boxes so that they can reappear when the graph is shift from left (past data) to the right (live data). And then uses the buttons above to make the appropriate action to the graphs.
I would like to know what way would be the most sufficient way to record the positions of the rectangles, so when the chart is shifted (via the ScrollBar1), the rectangles are moving with the direction of the scrollbar. But I'm sure I can achieve that.
I think I have found a solution. The red squares are only prevalent for the visual aspect, they can be drawn on, I don't need to do anything special with each chart, as I already know what the X0..Y1 parameters are, they are known from the initial chart. The problem h/e has to do with the initial chart. As long as the screens are all full, I can zoom in correctly w/ alignment with on all the charts (ZoomRect/Rectf(X0..Y1))
But what kind of equation would it take to adjust the charts that are not in the same zoom / max / min when the Chart5.Axes.Bottom.Automatic = True?
From there I just simply have to disable the immediate zoom feature, and allow buttons to become functional, to decide what the next course of action would be.
Am trying to use the ios-charts library based off the MPAndroidCharts; however am having some trouble getting a scrollable graph to work.
By scrollable I mean that I try to show only a portion of the data of the line and that you can scroll horizontally to see more results. E.g I have 30 results and I only show 10 at a time and then scroll horizontally to see more.
Have come up with an approximation by using the method
[self.containerView setVisibleXRangeWithMinXRange:24.0f maxXRange:24.0f];
However this seems to make the scrolling kind of jittery as it keeps on redrawing.
Am looking for an ios-charts example and clarification on methods to see whether I am on the right track or not.
Similar to your question:

Quote:
I was able to achieve this after playing with it a bit. It is actually pretty straight forward.
chart.data = data; // This is the MAIN reason, data for the chart has to be set first before the next 2 steps otherwise they will just get ignored like nothing has been set.
// set the max x data point to 10, which is what i wanted showing only 10 data points for the line or bar chart, from 100 data points.
[chart setVisibleXRangeMaximum:10];
// move the chart view to 90 index of X, which is the last 10 entries I want to see. and it works as expected.
[chart moveViewToX:90];

The problem is that, if I try to change the lowest point to somewhere higher, the entire chart will be lowered severely.
How do I adjust each point with no above mentioned issue?
P.S. I use Highchart's Highstock.
It would be helpful if you could show a JsFiddle with the actual working code. Without knowing what exactly is going on with your chart it's difficult to figure out what the issue is and how to fix it.
Have a look at the yAxis - Highstock API Reference, you could potentially make use of min or max to counteract the scaling. Again though, without seeing your code it's tough to know.
If I understand your problem, you are trying to set the 7th point from currently at ~150 to something really high, say 5000? I did not notice any real change in the position of other points if the new value was under 1500 (or something around twice the first point)
Appears that your chart is set to comparison mode, hence, I believe, the default max and min are (100% & -100%) by default, this is w.r.t. to first point of the series. Highcharts would auto adjust these extremes if any of the points were to lie outside this range, you could force an override using yAxis.min & max.
For instance, you can set yAxis.min to -100 and yAxis.max to 100 like this
yAxis: {
min:-100,
max:100
}
Play around with the min and max to get to the values that suits your data the most, do remember these are % comparison to the first point. Any points outside these ranges would not show in the chart.

I have a situation where I need to remove all margins from a highchart and remove the x/y axis so it fills a series of columns in a table completely.
I did that, no problem. Chart goes to the extremes as needed.
What I need now is that pesky yaxis I already removed...but displayed in a table cell outside of the existing highcharts object.
It would seem easy, as though I could just set the overflow property of yaxis to 'visible' and play with the offset...which would work however this would only work if I wanted to re-position the axis within the boundaries of the highchart object. I want him in a different cell entirely.
Is there anyone who has had experience in this situation? Is it going to require me to have a secondary highchart with only a y-axis?
Best answer gets a green check.
EDIT :: I now have dispersed each 'day' into their own column (more bars coming per day [scheduled,actual,etc...]). In order to keep the scales lined up, I manipulate the yAxis:max property and set them all to a derived value.
In the open column (currently w/ text Hourly Trends) is where I would put an additional highchart module with no series data but with the same min/max/tickInterval.
The next big leap will be to see the data is alive and changes w/ schedule. May have to start another thread for that one, no?
Create a new HC object with no data but only the yAxis (making sure it is the right scale, etc). Perhaps add the same series of data to it but hide the series? Add it to the location you want. This seems kludge and not very good practice. Each business use is different but why would you want this?
EDIT based on comment of business rules:
Why not come at this from a different direction and have the individual chart elements (the bars/points/etc) be a single point chart. This way you have one chart per column. You can then set up the yAxis to be text and not worry about the position. If we could see an example of the page layout and the desired result that would help.
In a candlestick graph i am building, the latest bar is cut-off partially such that even the bar is not visible. Thus it's difficult to judge the high and low by seeing the bar.
I'm unable to post a pic now but it's like the last rectangle being cut in half.
I'm tried a lot of options in the api but can't figure out why this is not showing correctly. The chart margin and axis offset options havent' helped. Is there a way i can set the series margin from the plot area so that it displays right.
For this problem, the best solution is to insert a dummy series which should be hidden from every aspect of the chart. So try this, insert a dummy series from the last point of the data series to some extra buffer(as per need). Then remove this series from the chart by explicitly removing it from the legends (using showinlegend),chart(setting linewidth to 0) and from tooltip by having a check in formatter. Hope this solves your problem.
I had the same problem and couldn't figure it out, because no matter how I changed the xAxis.maxPadding or changed the xAxis.max, it would always cut off the last candlestick when I clicked on the range selector.
To solve it, (hack) I just added an extra data point in my series and set it 1 day past the last day and set all values to null.
Without any code or a pic, it's hard to tell the problem, but it sounds like you need to use the max padding option. http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#xAxis.maxPadding. You may also want to look at endOnTick as well as whether you are setting max on the axis.
