[Plugin update 2023] ChartJS - Charts and Graphs (TechBlocks)

Thanks for offering the help. But it was a timing issue on my workflow.

I got another question. I’ve got this chart that I want to have Y axis at zero most times unless there’s an occasional negative number. I’m setting that condition, but it’s not actually working. Any ideas?

Here’s the chart with a negative number.

Here’s the conditional in the inspector.

The settings


The work-around is to leave the default empty and set the condition only if the number is not negative.

I think this is a bug: graph won’t show up if Series 1 name is empty.

Hi @rico.trevisan thanks for reaching back out!

The series name was previously a required field, but we just pushed an update in v4.39.50 based on your issue that allows you to have an empty series name (it will add a default name here).

@rico.trevisan does that help support your use case?

Hi there,

Just a quick question: do the charts load data even if the element is invisible? I’m noticing from the logs that the majority of my workload units are attributable to the charts I’ve set up, but most users shouldn’t be able to see them - I’m wondering if setting up invisibility conditionals would help.

Really liking the plugin!

It works, thanks.

@rico.trevisan great to hear, let us know if you have any other questions!

Hey @matt.grace thanks for reaching out and thanks for the nice words about the plugin!

The charts don’t load data unless they are visible. Let me know if that helps! Don’t hesitate to reach out with any other questions :slight_smile:

@mc3digital – did you manage to resolve this? Running into the same issue where I cannot change the font weight of data labels in a mixed bar/line chart. Cheers

@aestela – is it possible to change the font weight of data labels? Currently font weight doesnt seem to respond to any changes made to the font weight of the element

Hi @george.vandorp, haven’t tried this but if its not responding to changes maybe @alex4 might shed some light over this

Hey @george.vandorp and @aestela thanks for reaching out and sharing the request here and I hoe you’re both doing well!

I just pushed an update in v4.39.52 that enables you to customize the font weight for Bar/Line/Area, Mixed Bar/Line/Area, Scatter, Pie Charts. I’ll add this to the remainder of the charts soon.

Note: If you’re using a custom font, the specific font-weight might not be available, defaulting to the closest available weight. A good way to test whether or not the font-weight is working is to use a common font, like Arial.

See the new property at the bottom of this section:

Don’t hesitate tor each out if you have any other feedback!

Best,
Alex

Hey folks! Just pushed an update in v4.39.53 that enables you to customize the legend color style. You can set it to “Circle” or “Rectangle”. Setting it to “Circle” makes the legend color appear like this:

You can access this setting below the main “Show/Hide Legend” property:

Hello,

Is there a way to disable tooltips ?

I don’t want to have the mouse cursor to change when I hover a point.

I tried to put “Do not show” as put in the editor but it does not seem to be working.

Hi @marketing13 thanks for reaching out!

Adding “Do Not Show” or any HTML id that doesn’t exist on your page should be doing the trick to hide the tooltips.

If that’s not working, can you PM me a link to your app so I can take a look?

Hi !

I am thinking about buying your plugin but first I would like to know if the Line Chart allows to have timeseries data in the X axis ?

I mean if I want to plot data based on a date, will the chart understand the X axis as being a date and not a string label (my data points will not be equidistant if the period that separates them is different from one data point to another) ?

Thanks

Hi @sysadmin1 great question!

The answer is: absolutely! We support the X axis to have time series data for line charts (or connected scatter charts). Please check out these charts on the Line Chart demo page:

Does that help for your use case?

Hi @alex4, I’m in need of some de-bugging help with a boxplot chart. I’ve had a chart in my app that has worked well for over a year now. The chart previously only used 3 series, but today I had the need to add a fourth series to it. Unfortunately, it seems that the plugin is treating the series colour differently for any series added beyond series 3. In my case, series 1, 2, and 3 take the provided series colours from my workflow and show them nicely. Upon adding series 4 the plugin is only using the provided series colour for the border and showing a black background colour as you can see in the attached screenshot:

I tried changing the series colour for series 3 to the same orange colour that I was trying to apply for series 4, and as you can see the plugin is applying the colour properly in that case:

For reference, I am running version 4.38.123 of the plugin in my production app. I know this is now a pretty old version but I did try switching to the most recent version of the plugin and the same behaviour was observed for series 4. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information to help resolve this issue.

Thank you,
Kent

Hello,

How to get rid of decimals here and show only integer values?

Hi Alex,

Yes it does help me, thank you for your response. I wasn’t sure if I had to buy the “39 charts” plugin or the “10 charts” plugin in order to have time series plotting but I understand that I can use the simple Line charts in the 10 charts plugin.

Thanks
