I have an html file like this:
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/2.1.6/Chart.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<canvas id="myChart" width="400" height="400"></canvas>
<script>
function drawChart() {
console.log("start");
$.getJSON("test.json", function (data) {
console.log("loaded");
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: data,
options: {
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
beginAtZero:true
}
}]
}
}
});
}).fail(function(){
console.log("fail")
});
}
drawChart()
</script>
</body>
</html>
... and a json file like this:
{
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [20, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
backgroundColor: [
'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)',
'rgba(153, 102, 255, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 159, 64, 0.2)'
],
borderColor: [
'rgba(255,99,132,1)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 1)',
'rgba(153, 102, 255, 1)',
'rgba(255, 159, 64, 1)'
],
borderWidth: 1
}]
}
... and the json load always fails.
I tried several methods to read json and draw chart with Chart.js, but always failed.
I tried to plot the json with php without success:
<?php
header("Content-Type: application/json");
$filename = "test.json";
$fp = fopen($filename, "r");
$content = fread($fp, filesize($filename));
explode("\n", $content);
fclose($fp);
print_r($content);
?>
What's wrong with this?
The problem is with the JSON file. You should use quotation marks (").
Here is the correct JSON file:
{
"labels": ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
"datasets": [{
"label": "# of Votes",
"data": [20, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
"backgroundColor": [
"rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)",
"rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)",
"rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)",
"rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)",
"rgba(153, 102, 255, 0.2)",
"rgba(255, 159, 64, 0.2)"
],
"borderColor": [
"rgba(255,99,132,1)",
"rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)",
"rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)",
"rgba(75, 192, 192, 1)",
"rgba(153, 102, 255, 1)",
"rgba(255, 159, 64, 1)"
],
"borderWidth": 1
}]
}
Please change your PHP to:
<?php
header("Content-Type: application/json");
echo file_get_contents("test.json");

I want to create a shortcode for chart.js, when I add this code without function in a page then it works fine, however, When I add this code in fuction.php it breaks the site. I already have tried my methods.
function chartJS_shortcode(){
?><canvas id="myChart" width="400" height="400"></canvas><?php
<script>
const ctx = document.getElementById('myChart').getContext('2d');
const myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',

add_shortcode("chartJS", "chartJS_shortcode");
Always use return with shortcodes, try following it will work
<?php function chartJS_shortcode(){
ob_start();

const ctx = document.getElementById('myChart').getContext('2d');

I am trying to make my chart smaller but couldn't figure out how.
<canvas id="myChart"
style="position: relative" width="200" height="100">
</canvas>
My chart.js html code.
<script>
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext('2d');
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',

datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
backgroundColor: [
'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)',

</script>
and the js script.
So the width and height in my canvas is set to 200 and 100 (been trying out different values but not success).
I want it to be smaller so i can put it next to my div but it just gets way to big.
thanks in advance.
Wrap it in a <div>, i.e:
<div style="width:100px; height:100px">
<canvas id="myChart"></canvas>
</div>
Example below:
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext('2d');
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
backgroundColor: [
'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)',
'rgba(153, 102, 255, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 159, 64, 0.2)'
],
borderColor: [
'rgba(255,99,132,1)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 1)',
'rgba(153, 102, 255, 1)',
'rgba(255, 159, 64, 1)'
],
borderWidth: 1
}]
},
options: {
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
beginAtZero:true
}
}]
}
}
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/2.7.3/Chart.min.js"></script>
<div style="width:300px; height:300px">

I'm using Chart.js (http://www.chartjs.org/) and it's working fine, but I have too big X labels also with 45 degrees orientation (is auto adjusting).
I would like to reduce the size of that text, is it possible to do only for X axis?
thanks
Yes in the ticks.fontSize configuration you can do it only for the x-axis. For example
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
backgroundColor: [
'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)',
'rgba(153, 102, 255, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 159, 64, 0.2)'
],
borderColor: [
'rgba(255,99,132,1)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 1)',
'rgba(153, 102, 255, 1)',
'rgba(255, 159, 64, 1)'
],
borderWidth: 1
}]
},
options: {
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true
}
}],
xAxes: [{
ticks: {
fontSize: 8
}
}]
}
}
});

The problem I'm facing is I have 2 charts, made with Chart.js, them contains dynamics labels descriptions, if some label descriptions is too long, chart is turning smaller, but I need that both charts contain same height.
How can I configure Chart.js to shorten labels, and shows complete label like HTML title when mouse hover, to maintain the label area height?
What I need is maintain height of chart area, no matter how long the label is.

This answer reference from post.On mouse hover you can see tooltip showing full label name
var options = {

callback: function(value) {
if (value.length > 4) {
return value.substr(0, 4) + '...'; //truncate
} else {
return value
}
},

}],
yAxes: [{}]
},

title: function(tooltipItems, data) {
var idx = tooltipItems[0].index;
return 'Title:' + data.labels[idx]; //do something with title

I've been trying to get the ChartJS example from http://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/ working, but I'm running into two unexpected issues:
The graph is not animating
The graph is huge (it seems to be ignoring the height/width properties on the canvas element).
Snippet (copied from the documentation) is here: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/KmOQoj
