I'm getting a bug in my stacked area implementation when a user filters to a specific line.
In the image linked below, you'll see we're tracking two trends. When I turn off the "Dialup" trend, the orange area should remain where it is. Instead, it moves up to fill the entire area. Likewise, if I were to turn off the orange "Broadband" trend, the green dialup area fills the entire area below it, rather than falling to the baseline as it should.
(stackoverflow will not allow me to post images yet.)
You can see the value in the tooltip remains accurate.
Could anyone provide some insight into what may be causing this? In case this may be a factor, the chart is generated based on a table of data using Highcharts.visualize().
I can see that you're using Highcharts 3.0.0. According to this, there was a bug in this version of Highcharts. If you upgrade Highcharts to the latest version, it should work as intended.

Earlier, I asked how to create "spectra" charts in Vaadin (see How to create a "spectrum" chart using Vaadin 14+). It turned out that one didn't actually need to create barcharts -- the only real need seemed to be to set the pointwidth to 1. (This solved the "very wide" widths lines when zooming.)
HOWEVER: I think there's a bug in vaadin charts when one has more than 1 series presents and when one zooms: the line moves to an inccorrect position on the x-axis (or the x-axis is no longer placed correctly.) Any thoughts on how to resolve? Here are two screenshots showing the problem. In the first one, only ONE series is visible and the line is at the correct x-axis point of ~598.36. In the second screenshot, though, (where the only change I have made is to enable the 2nd series), the line moves to an INCORRECT x-axis coordinate (it seems like it's ~598.25!!!).
One theory I have is that adding the second series somehow confuses the chart from determining the correct x-axes....maybe because each series has it's own x axis logic in some way? Not sure....(I'm using Vaadin 14 and I tested this both in my dev env and on production.)
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.

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.
looking for high chart sample program, I haven't used Highcharts before, but it seems there are no sliders built take a look at the answer.
Actually Highcharts in general are not free.. For me it's simple bullet graph. In Highcharts for that you can use bar chart with scatter point
The bullet concept will work for this, though it will take some work to get styling like that. There are plenty of useful options for styling such a chart though without relying on the physical gauge metaphor.
A quick variation on the bullet chart approach that puts them into a single chart and removes the banding:
http://jsfiddle.net/jlbriggs/kwtZr/41/
It relies on a custom extension to produce the 'line' marker type:
Highcharts.Renderer.prototype.symbols.line = ...

be wary of using multiple colors unless the colors truly mean something.
Using additional color to highlight items that require attention is a good use of color.
Using color to highlight every possible status of something (shades of green, fading to shades of yellow, fading to shades of red...), is a bad use of color that is sadly over used and even expected by some.
FWIW
Also important to reiterate that the purpose of this type of display is very well handled by a bullet chart, which is definitely worth looking into migrating to somewhere along the way. Reference:

I'm developing an app now with achartengine to draw a line chart. Now I have a problem with an effect that I hope to fix. The effect is, when users touch a point on the line chart the color or style of point can be changed to different color or style. But the other points should remain the same as before.
I was not able to find any function to set a point color or style on achartengine API document.
Can someone please point me to any documentation that can help me with my problem?
There isn't such API available. However, you could create a temporary series that would contain one single point (the selected one), add it only as long as you need it and when no longer needed, just remove it from the dataset.
I am using the TeeChart VCL Delphi module. I am trying to plot a candlestick chart. I have the following questions:
When I run the code it shows me the last date data on the right hand side. However, the y-axis is not automatically scaling at all. If I scroll backwards, it automatically adjust the y-axis scales. However, if I go far to the right which is the end, it does not auto-scale the y-axis anymore. What am I doing wrong?
The x-axis is the days of the week. However, I have no data for the weekend. It shows as empty space. How do I remove that?
How do you change the cursor so it shows the date/time for the X,Y you choose?

What about setting the Y axis (left axis) to be automatic? For example:
Chart1.Axes.Left.Automatic:=True;
A more drastic solution would be also forcing the chart to repaint after adding each point.
Series1.Add(value);
Chart1.Draw;
If any of that helps please send us a simple example project we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here. You can attach your files here.

You should do as in the All Features\Welcome!\Chart Styles\Financial\Candle (OHLC)\Axis Labels no Weekends example in the new features demo. This demo is included with registered and evaluation versions. Otherwise you can download it here.
