In highcharts,series without dynamic data does not shift

In the combination of series with and without dynamic data,the series with dynamic data can be easily shifted but where as the other series which are not dynamic do not get shifted out completely.
I have reproduced the issue in the following link: https://jsfiddle.net/8uxepk21/
Here as you can see there are two series. The series with static data appears to be shifting but if you increase the size of the rang-selector,then the series with static data do not get shifted out of the chart completely but still stays unlike the other series.
Is there any option to shift data explicitly without using series.addpoint() method.
I have used series.data[0].remove() and it obviously works fine but when a new data has to arrive for the same series after some time,this remove() method would remove the arriving point aswell. Further if I provide any condition for the maximum points to be in series while shifting,even then it will cause performance issue.
EXPECTED RESULT: Both the series data have to be shifted completely irrespective of the data being static or dynamic.

To achieve it you can add points with null values to the second series. Check the code and demo posted below.
Code:
chart: {
events: {
load: function() {
var chart = this,
series1 = chart.series[0],
series2 = chart.series[1],
x, y;
setInterval(function() {
x = (new Date()).getTime();
y = Math.round(Math.random() * 100);
series1.addPoint([x, y], false, true);
series2.addPoint([x, null], false, true);
chart.redraw();
}, 2000);
}
}
}

Bind highstock(highcharts) to live data?

I am using .net core 2.0 web socket to generate some data. I want to send the data to this chart and draw the chart.
In the code below I want to show the live data without default values. I tried a lot but I wasn't successful. If I remove default value from 'series', chart will disappear. IS that possible to draw this chart on the fly?
Highcharts.setOptions({
global: {
useUTC: false
}});
Highcharts.stockChart('container', {
chart: {
events: {
load: function () {
// set up the updating of the chart each second
var series = this.series[0];
setInterval(function () {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y = Math.round(Math.random() * 100);
series.addPoint([x, y], true, true);
}, 1000);
}
}
},
rangeSelector: {
buttons: [{
count: 1,
type: 'minute',
text: '1M'
}, {
count: 5,
type: 'minute',
text: '5M'
}, {
type: 'all',
text: 'All'
}],
inputEnabled: false,
selected: 0
},
title: {
text: 'Live random data'
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Random data',
data: (function () {
// generate an array of random data
var data = [],
time = (new Date()).getTime(),
i;
for (i = -999; i <= 0; i += 1) {
data.push([
time + i * 1000,
Math.round(Math.random() * 100)
]);
}
return data;
}())
}]});

Finally I could find the solution. I needed to add xAxis property to my chart. By adding the code below, problem solved. Now it starts from current time.
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
tickPixelInterval: null,
maxZoom: 10 * 1000,
min: new Date().getTime()
}

Spline Graph with diagonally fixed values with 0,0 and ploting remaing same

We are using Spline Graph for our game in which we are facing issue with x and y axis value which we need to put 0,0 and save the values from initially till end as we need to all plotting from start till end of the value.
Check Live Demo Here
JavaScript Code
<script>
var a = 1;
var b = 1;
var factor = 1.2;
$(document).ready(function () {
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'spline',
animation: Highcharts.svg, // don't animate in old IE
marginRight: 10,
events: {
load: function () {
// set up the updating of the chart each second
var series = this.series[0];
setInterval(function () {
b = b*1.2;
console.log(b);
var x = a; // current time
var y = b;
a++;
series.addPoint([x, y], true, true);
}, 700);
}
}
},
title: {
text: 'Live random data'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'number',
min: 0,
tickInterval: 2
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Value'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function () {
return '<b>X: ' + this.x+', Y:'+this.y;
}
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Random data',
data: (function () {
// generate an array of random data
var data = [],i;
for (i = 1; i <= 19; i++) {
b = b*factor;
data.push({
x: a,
y: b
});
a++;
}
return data;
}())
}]
});
});

The following code draws a curve line from the origin (0,0) to the end point which gets updated on the interval. You needed to make the shift variable false in the addPoint call. Higchart docs
$(document).ready(function () {
var a = 1;
var b = 1;
var factor = 1.2;
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'spline',
animation: Highcharts.svg, // don't animate in old IE
marginRight: 10,
events: {
load: function () {
// set up the updating of the chart each second
var series = this.series[0];
setInterval(function () {
b = b*1.2;
var x = a; // current time
var y = b;
a++;
// Add new end point
series.addPoint([x, y], true, false);
}, 700);
}
}
},
title: {
text: 'Live random data'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'number',
min: 0,
tickInterval: 2
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Value'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function () {
return '<b>X: ' + this.x+', Y:'+this.y;
}
},
legend: {

},
exporting: {

},
series: [{
name: 'Random data',
data: (function () {
// generate an array of random data
// Add point at origin and last point of series
var data = [{x:0,y:0}],i;
for (i = 1; i <= 19; i++) {
b = b*factor;
a++
data.push({
x: a,
y: b
});
}
return data;
}())
}]
});

How to update Highcharts data dynamically over a period of time

I want to use Highcharts graph and update y axis dynamically. Actually I want to update nsw, Tas, ACT every 5 sec. How do I do it ?
Here is my code.
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
title: {
text: 'Histogram',
x: -20 // center
},
subtitle: {
text: 'Source: www.trove.com',
x: -20
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['NSW', 'Tas', 'ACT','QLD','VIC','SA','WA']
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Hits'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
},
tooltip: {
valueSuffix: '°C'
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
align: 'right',
verticalAlign: 'middle',
borderWidth: 0
},
series: [{
name: 'States',
data: [nsw, Tas, ACT,qld,vic,sa,wa]
}]
});
});
});

In the Documentation you can find an example from Highcharts in jsfiddle. Check it out http://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/jquery/1.9.1/highslide-software/highcharts.com/tree/master/samples/highcharts/demo/dynamic-update/. In the example every second a new point will be added. Here comes the relevant code part:
chart: {
type: 'spline',
animation: Highcharts.svg, // don't animate in old IE
marginRight: 10,
events: {
load: function () {
// set up the updating of the chart each second
var series = this.series[0];
setInterval(function () {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y = Math.random();
series.addPoint([x, y], true, true);
}, 1000);
}
}
},
`

The easiest way to do it would be to use the javascript function "setInterval()" to call it.
Here is a link where you can find a way to do it :
http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_timing.asp
If you are not really good at javascript, you might need this declaration of functions : var functionName = function() {} vs function functionName() {}

Use:
events: {
load: function () {
// set up the updating of the chart each second
var series = this.series[0];
setInterval(function () {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y = Math.random(),
l = series.data.length;
for(var i = 0; i < l; i++) {
series.data[i].update({
y: getHits(i) // or something else
});
}
}, 5000); // 5 seconds
}
}
Where index is index (count from 0) of nsw/Tas/ACT in data array. (for nsw = 0, for Tas = 1 etc.)

Highcharts - update chart using ajax

Here is my sample chart with random data
http://jsfiddle.net/Fw4PZ/
$(function () {
$(document).ready(function() {
Highcharts.setOptions({
global: {
useUTC: false
}
});
var chart;
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'area',
marginRight: 10,
events: {
load: function() {
// set up the updating of the chart each second
var series = this.series[1];
setInterval(function() {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y = Math.random();
series.addPoint([x, y], true);
}, 1000);
}
}
},
title: {
text: 'Live random data'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
tickPixelInterval: 150
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Value'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function() {
return '<b>'+ this.series.name +'</b><br/>'+
Highcharts.dateFormat('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', this.x) +'<br/>'+
Highcharts.numberFormat(this.y, 2);
}
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Random data',
data: []
},{
name: 'Random data',
type: 'spline',
data: []
}]
});
});
});
How to update each series, not only [1] ?
load: function() {
// set up the updating of the chart each second
var series = this.series[0];
setInterval(function() {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y = Math.random();
series.addPoint([x, y], true);
}, 1000);
// set up the updating of the chart each second
var series = this.series[1];
setInterval(function() {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y = Math.random();
series.addPoint([x, y], true);
}, 1000);
}
Doesn't work...
And 2nd thing... how to update those series using ajax? (I need to have 2 areas and 4 splines)
UPDATE
So i change this
events: {
load: function() {
// set up the updating of the chart each second
var series = this.series;
setInterval(function() {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y = Math.random();
series[0].addPoint([x, y], false);
series[1].addPoint([x, y], false);
series[2].addPoint([x, y], false);
series[3].addPoint([x, y], false);
series[4].addPoint([x, y], false);
series[5].addPoint([x, y], true);
}, 5000);
}
}
but it crashes my browser :\
http://jsfiddle.net/2tmRB/1/ (watch out with that link!)
What I'm doing wrong?

Example:
var series = this.series;
setInterval(function() {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y = Math.random(),
y1 = Math.random();
series[0].addPoint([x, y], false);
series[1].addPoint([x, y1], true);
}, 1000);
Live example: http://jsfiddle.net/Fw4PZ/1/
Regarding AJAX - just in setInterval call some getJSON() or something similar, and add values from that response to the chart using addPoint() (like in above example).
