Line chart year date axis but use real date to plot points

[Gert Van Meerbergen]

I want to use the date category axis which should only show years:

@(Html.Kendo().Chart().Name("CompetenceEvolution")

.SeriesDefaults(sd => sd.Line().Style(ChartLineStyle.Smooth))
.Series(series =>
{
foreach (var data in Model.EvolutionChartData)
{
series.Line(data.Items).Field("Score").CategoryField("AssessmentDate").Name(data.Name);
}
})

.CategoryAxis(axis => axis.Date().BaseUnit(ChartAxisBaseUnit.Years))

...

but I would like that for plotting the points the real date is used (now the point is placed above the category label), but is should be placed according to the date. Because now, when having two different items in the same year (with a different date), only one item is getting plotted to the chart.

Hi Gert,

When date axis is used the data is aggregated for a particular period. In order to plot multiple points for each year I would suggest the following approach:
- Use two category axes - one with baseUnit "days", the other one with baseUnit "years";
- Hide the categoryAxis.
For your convenience I prepared a dojo example - please check it and let me know if this fits the current requirements.
