Google Charts API: Z-index of data series - javascript

I have following combined stacked bar with 2 data series: blue and red one. The red one is a single point (of line) and it is by default "invisible" (cover with blue data), you can hover over it, its Y coordinate is about 54 +1 for each day after this question is asked :)
Now the question is, how to make the red dot visible? If I select it, it remains on top, that is exactly what I want by default. Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm gonna answer my question, but it is just workaround (working though). After chart is ready, I'm listening to the 'ready' event and immediately select the single point like this
google.visualization.events.addListener(chart, 'ready', function() {
ac.setSelection([{row:0, column:5}]); // use proper values
});

Improve hovering over points to display tooltip

I am developing a datetime series line chart of efficiencies (in percentage) over time.
I need a tooltip to display information about each point on the chart, but I am finding that it is difficult to hover over points which coincide with the line or marker of another series.
The chart will be static in nature in that users will not be able to remove series from the chart - so they wouldn't be able to remove a series in order to be able to get more easily hover over the desired point.
In this demo - https://jsfiddle.net/slaws/37y4cteq/10/ - it takes many attempts moving the cursor in that area to get the tooltip for the last point in the series with the black markers to show.
Here
I moved my cursor around the area marked in red, but couldn't get the tooltip for any points other than one shown to display.
I had to follow a specific procedure and get my cursor to a specific point to be able to hover over the black marker and get the tooltip to display. Here
I had to hover over the second to last black marker and then move the cursor to the point indicated to get the tooltip for the last marker to display.
I have tried using the findNearestPointBy (x, y and xy) in combination with stickyTracking (true and false), with no improvement.
"stickyTracking": false,
"findNearestPointBy": 'y'
I read something about a direct hover mode rather than nearest neighbor but found no details about how to implement that.
Any guidance on how I can make it easier for my users to display the tooltips in my use case would be greatly appreciated!
Setting tooltip.snap as 0 and setting back stickyTracking to default options fixes your issue.

Amcharts 4 : Disable single legend item programmatically

I just need to know how to disable a single legend item programmatically on chart reload (disable means: legend is shown greyed out and its linked curve is hidden), as I need to reload a chart with some new data using some back and forward arrows, but still need to remember the user preference or the state of legend items (on/off)
You can just call hide on the series associated with that legend marker to hide the series/grey out the marker:
series.hide();
Thanks #xorspark that's really it, it's about controlling the series not legend.
It happened to work specifically with the appeared or inited events, not shown event as it seemed to be, like this:
series.events.on("inited", () => {
reactState ? series.show() : series.hide();
});
inited event even works better, as disabled legends will not show a glimpse of their color on the curve when using appeared.

Highcharts multiple x axes is hidden on zoom

I used the multiple axes on the highchart
During Zoom operation the x values are getting hidden
I used linked to attribute also
JsFiddle
zoomType: 'y',
zoomType: String
Decides in what dimensions the user can zoom by dragging the mouse. Can be one of x, y or xy.
Try it:
None by default
x
y
xy
I referred this jsfiddle to figure out what's happening. I think, this behavior is not a bug/issue.
This github issue mentioned in comments is not the problem here. Because what it is saying is to use linkedTo: 0 which is already present in this example.
It actually depends on how much area and more importantly from where to where you select for zooming in. Let's see that by examples:
In the following image, the rectangle signifies the width of one column.
Now, if you start your pinch from more than half of the width of any column or end the pinch after half of the width of a column, that column would be fully visible along with x-Axis labels.
But, if you pinch any less, say from the middle of orange bar of first column, till middle of next column's blue bar, it's not going to show whole columns and hence it ends up with hidden x-Axis labels.

Interactions that affect multiple separate charts in d3.js?

I'm trying to create a data visualization in d3.js that contains two charts: a parallel-axis plot, and horizontal colorbar chart (I just made up that name, but it's basically a series of colored rectangles). Each line in the parallel-axis plot is associated with a set of rectangles in the colorbar chart.
Right now, mousing over a given line highlights that line, and mousing over a given rectangle highlights that set of rectangles. My goal is to also highlight the associated line or set of rectangles on the opposite chart anytime the user mouses over either chart. This seems like it would be pretty straightforward if I generated both charts with the same function. However, it would be much neater (and more reusable) coding style to give each chart its own function and just connect them somehow. I tried having each within-chart mouseover function call a function defined at a higher level that affected both charts, but this didn't seem to have any effect on the chart that wasn't moused-over. Since I still don't feel like I fully understand how d3.js works on an underlying level, I'd really like to have confirmation that this is a viable way to set up my code. My code is long and complicated, and I really just want advice on the structure, so here is the basic outline:
function chart1(){
make chart
function mouseover(d,i){
do stuff
chart1_globalmouseover(d,i);
}
chartElement.on("mouseover", function(d,i){mouseover(d,i)});
}
function chart2(){
make chart
function mouseover(d,i){
do stuff
chart2_globalmouseover(d,i);
}
chartElement.on("mouseover", function(d,i){mouseover(d,i)});
}
function chart1_globalmouseover(d,i){
do stuff in chart 2's mouseover function
}
function chart2_globalmouseover(d,i){
do stuff in chart 1's mouseover function
}
c1 = chart1();
c2 = chart2();
One way to link the two graphs independent of the code used to create them would be to assign IDs or classes to the elements you may want to select. That is, if graph 2 has an element with ID foo, then in a mouse handler for an element of graph 1, you could say d3.select("#foo").style("stroke", "red") for example. Similarly with classes.
This approach allows you to keep the code completely separate. Moreover, if you use classes, you can assign the same class to things you would want to highlight together (e.g. elements representing the same data). Then d3.selectAll(".class") would select and allow you to manipulate all of them. This would work for an arbitrary number of graphs, not just two -- what changes is simply the number of elements that will be selected.

Make Highcharts tooltip show info for closest point to the left (i.e. not change at midpoint)

Between two points on a line, if you move the cursor to the right of the midpoint, it will show the tooltip for the right point. Is there a way to keep the tooltip focused on the closest tooltip to the left? I find this more intuitive for my stepchart so that the tooltip displays the info for the current step being moused over.
Unfortunaltey it is not possible, but you can try to replace line chart with, scatter series and setting lineWidth as 2.
plotOptions:{
series:{
lineWidth:2
}
},
