Here is the set up using google charts api:
<div id="dashboard">
<div id="columnchart1" />
<div id="linechart" />
<div id="columnchart2" />
<div id="chartrangefiltercontrol" />
</div>
All charts and the control use the same datatable and are managed with the wrapper classes and the horizontal axis are time (dates). The data needs to line up vertically so the data point on linechart at 1 Jan 2014 must line up with the data points on columnchart1 and columnchart2 for 1 Jan 2014. But they do not.
Attempted to fix the problem by setting the 3 charts options.hAxis.viewWindow.(min, max) values to the same for each chart, but that posed a different problem: the rangefiltercontrol would not zoom the charts (it would still pan side to side).
How do you make the charts scales the same and zoom with the control?
Thank you in advance.
The axis values will not align precisely because ColumnCharts add padding on the left and right of the axis end points to account for the width of the column groups. This padding varies in size and is largely unpredictable, so you have to wait for the charts to render, get the axis ranges, set options appropriately for each chart, and redraw. I would suggest reducing your dashboard to controlling a single chart from the ChartRangeFilter, and using a "ready" event handler on that chart to set the data for the other charts and redraw them. This dramatically cuts down on the inter-chart event coordination that would otherwise be necessary (this does not completely eliminate coordination, but it does reduce the amount you have to do).
If you would be so kind as to update your question with your chart code and sample data, I will flesh out my answer with specifics on how you can achieve this.

I am developing an application which allows a user to select dynamically queried data which can then be used in Recharts visualizations. There are certain edge cases where the default formatting / rendering within recharts produces an ugly result. For example, if there are many unique values passed to the <XAxis /> component then the chart produced will likely have overlapping text for the ticks.
There does not seem to be any good "render as many ticks as possible, without overlapping" option described in the documentation. These appear to be the only options:
Render all ticks (obviously leads to too many ticks)
<XAxis
dataKey={xAxisField.name}
name={getXAxisLabel(xAxisField, chartType)}
tickFormatter={
getMetaDataType(xAxisField) ===
"DATE"
? tickEpochFormatter // force numbers to be displayed as 'YYYY-MM-DD'
: tickNumberFormatter
}
allowDataOverflow={false}
ticks={xValues.sort()} // gets all of the values
interval={0} // display all of values, instead of the default 5
angle={-90} // force text to be 90, reading towards the graph
textAnchor="end" // rather than setting "dy={50}" or something
>
Render only the start / end / start & end, which depends (seemingly) entirely on the width of the text, prior to rotation.
<XAxis
dataKey={xAxisField.name}
name={getXAxisLabel(xAxisField, chartType)}
tickFormatter={
getMetaDataType(xAxisField) ===
"DATE"
? tickEpochFormatter // force numbers to be displayed as 'YYYY-MM-DD'
: tickNumberFormatter
}
allowDataOverflow={false}
ticks={xValues.sort()} // gets all of the values
interval="preserveStart" // ensure that everything can be read, giving preference to the "left"???
angle={-90} // force text to be 90, reading towards the graph
textAnchor="end" // rather than setting "dy={50}" or something

Hardcode the number of intervals to ensure a maximum? I'm not sure if this is a viable option since I would need to know how many ticks are truly overlapping. Just seems like a crude approach.
Is it even possible to have Recharts render as many things as possible, even if they are rotated 90 degrees, and then selectively choose what has enough space to display? Is it possible to have the angle property dynamically update based on the length of the tick mark texts?

Here's a picture of the problematic rendering I want to clean up:
Also, please note that normally I would prefer to stick to the same library that I have been using, but if another library is better suited for this use-case, I would like to consider switching!
I had the same problem, ended up removing the interval property which set the ticks to be sort-of-dynamic but had only 4 or 5 ticks.
So I set the minTickGap to some negative value. the result was that more ticks appeared on the axis
<XAxis dataKey="date"
angle={45}
dx={15}
dy={20}
minTickGap={-200}
axisLine={false}/>
before
after:
function chart (data, selector) {
// generate chart with zoom feature. it scales the X domain and update the chart accordingly.
}
chart(dataset1, "#chart1")
chart(dataset2, "#chart2")
chart(datasetn, "#chartn")
the code above is a chart generator function which I give it different datasets to make me charts. in all charts, the dataset has the same X values but different Y values.
problem:
lets say we have 3 charts, all the X axis ranges are between 0-100. In the first chart, I drag mouse and create a zoombox between 30-60 and the first chart updates, now it is scaled between 30-60. But the second and third chart are intact. I need them to be updated as well between 30-60.
similarly if I do the same for second chart, I need the first and third one get updated.
here is jsfiddle to illustration
I made not so big modification to make this works.
First of all we remember globally the information about single chart in var charts array. This is done during creation of charts
charts.push(lineChart(data1,"#chart1"));
charts.push(lineChart(data2,"#chart2"));
charts.push(lineChart(data3,"#chart3"));
Next we can use this array in function zoomdrag and update.
This work maybe not perfect (reset of chart is missing) but show how to handle it and get the same zoom in all charts.
Here is jsfiddle
I have a highstock chart to render a stock price and I have an issue when render the tooltip.
The issue is that even I move my mouse across the boundary of the chart, the tooltip still shows up.
For example,
I have a series of stock price from 2015-01-01 to 2015-12-30 rendered on the chart. Then I zoom in from 2015-05-05 to 2015-06-30. Then the x axis of the chart is from 2015-05-05 to 2015-06-30. When I mouse over at the position of 2015-05-05, I can see the value of the stock price for that date and this is as expected. But when I move my mouse a little bit to the right, I can still see the tooltip show the stock price for 2015-05-04.
I can imagine this is an issue related to rounding. But I am not sure how to get rid of this since people may think that the zoom in range is from 2015-05-04 rather than 2015-05-05. To be more specific, how could I make tooltip not show up when the range is out of chart's x axis boundaries?
Any hint or help would be appreciated!
I need to draw a graph to display engine status.That is i will be having time like 1-2,2-3,3-4 along axis and by using bar graph i need to display whether engine was on or off at these time.
That is from 1-2 if it is off it will how black and 2-4 if it is on it will show blue color and again if the status is changed it should show black from blue.Right now i have customised jquery high charts for displaying one bar,by removing some parameters.
I need to know how i implment this here or is it possible in this graph?
You can do this with a column range chart, with minimal fudging.
The main issue is making sure you set your data points correctly, and to set grouping:false in the plotOptions. The x value needs to be specified for each data as well, or else they will all be given a separate x value
Example:

This can easily be adapted to a time axis by supplying the timestamps as the y values.
For a statistics/monitoring tool we use google charts graphs to show messages and errors from an application. Those messages are shown in labels of a graphics on the vertical axis but most of the times the messagetexts are too long, having too much characters to be fit in the label. They get shortcutted by ... in the end but what we actually want is that they are wordwrapped or if that is not possible, manually linebreaked with html br tags. Too bad, those are just ignored by the google chart labels.
My question is, is there a way to break the messagetexts over multiple lines instead of getting shortcutted with ... at the end? If so, how can this be done? I already found the possibility for this for the horizontal axis here, but we want it to have it for the vertical axis. If it is possible of course.
I also tried to make a fiddler example but it seems fiddler can't handle google graphs that well. When I made the text as long as in our tool, the whole graphics just disappeared.
The text labels for tick values of axes, both horizontal and vertical, cannot currently be wrapped across multiple lines. The best you can do is arrange that there is more space for the labels by using a combination of the width and chartArea: { width and left } options, for the vertical axis, or height and chartArea: { height and top } options.
Here is a jsfiddle that demonstrates this: http://jsfiddle.net/dlaliberte/cNRn3/ with a bar chart. The key option is this:
chartArea: { left: 300 }
I tried to decrease the font size and it worked for me. adjust font size according to your need, making font small will make it automatically multi-line
<Chart
chartType='ColumnChart'
width="100%"
height="800px"
data={this.state.graphData}
options={{
fontSize: 11
}}
/>
