Forewarning: I am a D3 novice.
Here is the grouped bar chart I'm working with. The only buttons that work are those labelled 'Gender' and 'Age', but this is enough to illustrate the functionality I'm asking about.
There are a few issues that I'm having, the main issue being that I'm unable to properly update the bar groups. Specifically, I'm unsure of how to properly .select and .remove the elements from the previously selected category and populate the chart with data from the new category. Right now, I've got it working somewhat, but what ends up happening is the elements are endlessly duplicated within the DOM, which becomes apparent when looking at the text labels.
Another issue is that the bars from multiple sets of data sometimes appear, but I suspect this is related to the issue described above.
A minor issue I'm also having is in figuring out how to properly centre the text labels against the bars that they are labelling. I know how to do this with a traditional bar chart, but I'm confused about how I would create a function that would position these correctly.
Thanks in advance!

I'm wanting to replicate a bar chart done in Power BI using google charts, and one of the features I am attempting to implement is this filter effect as shown by the two pictures I've attached a link to.
Bar Chart Before Filtering
Bar Chart After Filtering
I can add example data in a reply if necessary, but the concept is that the bar chart before shows 100% of data made up of sub categories, and on selecting a category from a drop down menu, the percentage coming from that sub category is highlighted while the rest is made transparent. I've searched through the Google Charts documentation and previous questions however I haven't found any information on how to implement this or if this effect is even possible. The controls included in the API seem to only be able to redraw the chart entirely, not keep the chart and highlight the portion filtered.
I've considered having two charts overlaid on top of each other, with the chart on top changing based on the user category selection and the chart on bottom remaining static, however, I'm not sure if that implementation is optimal or possible. Ideally, I would also be able to replicate this effect on other categorical based charts, such as a pie chart. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on a workaround in order to create a similar effect, or some input on whether this effect is even possible using the google charts API and JavaScript/HTML/CSS.
To solve the below problem, I've tried setting Offset and margin
I've got a pie chart:
which renders labels perfectly.
Sometimes when we change the datasource - the labels gets collapsed. And shows only ...
My intuition says this happens because of un-necessary white space on the right side.
How do I avoid this behaviour?
This is a known issue. But, currently, this behavior cannot be changed. This is in DevExpress' to-do list: dxPieChart - Provide the MinAllowedSizePercentage property.
When implemented, it should make it possible to improve the resulting chart layout by configuring the minimum allowed Pie size.
I was developing a solution for another question here on Stack Overflow (see Highcharts : selection) that has some simple slider elements (using input type="range") to change the categories shown in a column chart. Whenever the user changes the range in either slider element, the chart is redrawn using setExtremes().
I noticed that, in some instances, some of the x-axis labels disappeared, even when I moved the sliders back to their original positions. I've tinkered with a number of x-axis settings, including minPadding, startOnTick, and tickInterval, and none of them seem to solve "The Case of the Missing Labels."
The first screenshot below shows the chart when it's first loaded. All of the x-axis labels are present.
The second screenshot below shows the chart when I change one of the sliders. Some of the x-axis labels are now missing. It looks like they're being staggered.
Here's where the plot thickens: if I adjust the sliders to some other values, all of the labels come back:
Here's the fiddle I developed so you can see a live example of this behavior: https://jsfiddle.net/brightmatrix/uvat8u05/
I'm curious to know why this is happening, and what settings I could use to ensure that all x-axis labels are shown, regardless of what values the user chooses in the sliders.
Thank you very much!
Update: The responses from both Max Uppenkamp and Grzegorz Blachliński are valid and helpful solutions. What I also discovered by chance was that explicitly setting the slider values to integers using parseInt() solved this issue as well. It also helps in comparing both values to make sure a user doesn't choose an end date that is earlier than the start date.
This seems to be intended behavior of Highcharts, however inconsistent it may be.
According to this this should be fixed in current versions of Highcharts, but you might as well try this tick formatter solution.
Edit: If the above doesn't work for you, you might be able to solve the issue by rotating your labels:

I am fairly new to JavaScript, let alone charting. I'd appreciate any help in accomplishing the following. I have browsed many JavaScript charting libraries and examples but have not seen any that solve my problem:
I need to create dynamic stacked bar charts as shown in the attached picture. Horizontal axis is time axis. The chart should scroll to left with time along with time-markings on x-axis. Each horizontal stacked bar is for a different item on Y-axis. There will be many items on y axis. Each section of bar will have text as shown. The information about each section and its text is received dynamically.
Thank you!

I have found the Google Charts to be very, very easy to use (https://developers.google.com/chart/?hl=en)
However, in order to have dynamic content, you'll need to have some data source to read from so that you can use something like ajax to constantly ping it for updated data. The Google Charts library will give you a good starting point but it won't be dynamic. You'll have to program that portion but Google Charts is very great in providing you with the basic pie, graph, bar, etc.. 'chart templates' so switching between a bar and a pie chart is super easy.
Currently I am facing issue while rendering chart for large data in EXT JS. Chart gets cut or overlapped.
For example, I have 500 names on x-axis to plot then chart displays only 15 to 20 of them and others get cut. According to my view there should be scroll bar to view whole chart rather cutting the legends. I have tried to found solution for having scroll bars for such large charts but I am not able to find it.
Any other way for viewing whole chart is also accepted.
One workaround I can think about is 'panzoom' interaction.
Please visit link given below to see an official example with 'panzoom'.
http://dev.sencha.com/extjs/5.1.0/examples/kitchensink/?charts=true#line-markers
With 'panzoom', you can zoom in to the chart and then scroll/pan. Zooming in to the chart would make the hidden coordinates visible.
It may look like this because you might have smaller space to render the chart as your data is too big. So you can try with 'pan zoom'. But I don't think so you will get a useful chart. It will still get junked.
