Column chart Date category

[Marten]

Hi all,

In this simplified case my datased is filled with 2 records.

Date: 01-01-2015
Value: 10

and

Date: 01-01-2016
Value:10

 

I want to see only those 2 days on the X asxis with a "dd-MM-yyyy"  format.

When I do the following:
axis.Date().BaseUnit(ChartAxisBaseUnit.Days).Labels(labels =>  labels.DateFormats(formats => formats.Days("dd-MM-yyyy")
I see 365 squeezed labels

How can configure the category axis to only show the dates which are are in the dataset?

Hi Marten,

When using date axis all dates for a particular date period are rendered and this cannot be prevented. If you would like to display only the dates from the dateset you should use categoryAxis with type "category".
