Kendo Charts - How to manually set category access min/max?

[Michael]

I'm currently using Kendo UI with jQuery and have a line graph being rendered from a kendoChart object. I've noticed that the category axis (x axis) min and max date renders entirely based off of the data that is returned, using the earliest date as the starting point and latest as the end point. For the life of me, I can not find a way to manually set the start and end date on the chart before it renders. On the flipside, I was able to find where you set the value axis (y axis) min and max by using the chart.dataSource.options.valueAxis.min/max object.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this possible to do or is it unsupported?

Hi Michael,

You can use the categoryAxis.min and categoryAxis.max properties to change the axis min and max values:

categoryAxis: {
  baseUnit: "days",
  min: "2011/12/16",
  max: "2012/1/16",
  labels: {
    rotation: "auto"
  }
}

Here is a Dojo example where you can see the result:

I also added logic to update the axis range on click of a button in case you were asking about updating the range dynamically.
