We are facing issue in wind rose chart when displaying real data. The data values range from very small (100) to very large (1000000000). On rendering the data set in wind rose chart, as the max length has to be set according to the highest value, the smaller values are not visible.
As a workaround to this, we planned to restrict the length of the bars/ spikes in the chart to say 10px so that all the values are visible. But couldn't find a way to do so. In bar chart we can use minPointLength property.
Can anyone provide any help on how to restrict the length of bars or any other workaround for this?
Thanks in advance.
Use type: 'logarithmic' axis, see: http://jsfiddle.net/3pEbJ/
Thanks a lot. It worked in our case. Would like to add few points for the modifications required for using this property.
1. On using “type: 'logarithmic'” property, if the data series contains value 0 for any value, JavaScript will throw error #10 ‘Can't plot zero or subzero values on a logarithmic axis’. To avoid this error you need to change the zero value to some non-zero value. This scenario occurs for stacked series.
2. Providing non-zero value will render that value in tooltip also. So as a workaround, we can provide the non-zero value like 0.00001. This way it will display value 0 in the tooltip for that series and also the corresponding bar would be very small.

In Vaadin 14.6.1, I tried to create a Vaadin heatmap foollowing the documentation / example from here.
However, I encountered a few problems/questions, listed in descending order of importance below:
The heatmap supported 30 rows by 30 columns; but when I tried 40 rows by 40 columns, the entire heatmap showed a single color (blue in my case).
Is it possible to manually set the minimum numeric value and maximum numeric value for the color scheme. This way, if I plot my data one day and it has values in the range of 0 to 1, but on another dataset from another day, the numeric values range from between 0 and 0.5, the color scheme range won't automatically change (to being between 0 and 0.5) and confuse the user.
In the documentation, it has the following methods listed, but they do not seem to exist in Vaadin 14.6.1
plotOptions.setBorderColor(SolidColor.WHITE);
plotOptions.setBorderWidth(2);
When I hover over the datapoints, is there a way that the tooltip can only show the numeric value (and not the x, y coordinate or the series name etc.?)
Is there any limit to the number of datapoints? I'm hoping that if #1 above is resolved that I can plot a 100 by 100 (ie 10,000) point heatmap.
If I plot 100by100, there will be many labels on the x and y axis. In my case, the x and y axis are actually numerical, so I did what the documentation suggested and just placed category labels in the xaxis and yaxis spots. However, is there any way to only display every "nth" label, so that the x-axis and y-axis is not so crowded? (This would essentially mimic what Vaadin does for normal line charts' xaxis and yaxis).
I'm not that experienced with Vaadin Chart, but these are the questions that I can comment on:
(1) With 40x40 items you go over the threshold of 1000 in which the Chart switches into "turbo" mode for performance reasons. This seems to not be compatible with the heatmap series. You can disable turbo mode by setting plotOptions.setTurboThreshold(0);
(2) Unfortunately the ColorAxis doesn't support this, it only has an API for min and max color. Definitely a valid use-case though, and it seems to be supported by the Highcharts library that the Vaadin Chart uses under the hood. You should consider opening a feature request for this in the Github repo.
(3) This seems to be a documentation issue. The methods are available in later Vaadin platform versions, but not in 14.6.
(5) In theory not, but in practice there will be a huge performance hit in the browser due to the excessive amount of DOM elements (quick test of 100x100 froze the browser for 10s). I'm afraid the component isn't really made for such extreme use-cases. In this case it might be better to utilize a low-level JS drawing library using the canvas, or draw an image on the server-side and display that in the browser. Maybe you can also consider modifying your use-case so that you only display one slice of your data and allow the user to switch between slices.
So I'm trying to create a bar chart similar to this:
(source: instantshift.com)
Is there a nice way to do this in CorePlot? If not, should I just plot two bar plots? One of the data values and another with 100%? and try put them on top of each other?
Use two bar plots. Give one a base value of zero (0) and the other a base value of 100. Give them both the same tip value for the same index. That way they don't overlap but the ends of the bars butt up against each other.
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.
I am using a Highcharts Stock graph to show a percentage with respect to time.
http://jsfiddle.net/michaelchart/yYmPR/1/
At certain zoom levels (in this case, when zooming to a timespan of between about 6 and 12 years) the plot strangely turns from a line to sporadic points.
Any ideas as to why this might be? Or is it a bug with Highstock?
You can see an example of a working Highstock graph here http://www.highcharts.com/stock/demo/basic-line.
After posting on the Highstock forum and consequently having an issue posted on github, I found that it was because of the default value of the gapSize option. According to the docs;
gapSize : Number
Defines when to display a gap in the graph. A gap size of 5 means that if the distance between two points is greater than five times that of the two closest points, the graph will be broken.
In practice, this option is most often used to visualize gaps in time series. In a stock chart, intraday data is available for daytime hours, while gaps will appear in nights and weekends.
Defaults to 5.
Setting gapSize to null fixes the problem.
In my particular case, the reason of this problem was bad data output.
Within "series" property, within the "data" array there was a "false" value.
Example:
series : {
"type":"column",
"name":"Test",
"data":[541,784,false,251,353]
}
Corrected the problem in the backend so "false" was interpreted as 0, and everything works now.
