Stockchart categoryAxis Issue

[儒]

Hi,

     I'd like to use stockchart to display my data across thirty years scale with proximately two data per week. However, setting baseUnit to "days" will cause categoryAxis's label overlapping each other. How can I display the data "daily" in chart and make categoryAxis's label display act like setting baseUnit to  "monthly" or "yearly"? 

Thanks,

Bob

Hello 儒,

I could suggest setting the desired baseUnit and adjusting the autoBaseUnitSteps to fit the data according to the data points available:

• https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/ui/stock-chart/configuration/categoryaxis.autobaseunitsteps

Give this a try and let me know if it is what you are looking for.

Hi Nikolay,

     Thanks for answering. Is it possible to display categoryAxis.label only if there's a data on that date?

Hi Bob,

The described functionality is still not supported by the Kendo UI Chart.

As a workaround, you can remove some of the labels by using the Step and Skip properties:

• https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/ui/chart/configuration/categoryaxis.labels#categoryaxislabelsstep
• https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/ui/chart/configuration/categoryaxis.labels#categoryaxislabelsskip

Alternatively, you can use a category type axis (instead of date) and manually populate the categories:

• https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/ui/chart/configuration/categoryaxis.type

However, note that switching to a category axis will not provide you with all the functionalities of a date axis.

Additionally, the categoryAxis labels can be rotated so they better fit the available space:

• https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/ui/chart/configuration/categoryaxis.labels#categoryaxislabelsrotation

Finally, it is possible to entirely remove the data point with no data by setting value "null" for that point.
