Annotations on ZoomLine not working

[jonesp1]

Hi guys,

 

Have got the new annotations working great on Line charts.

 

I am using the $canvasStartY and $dataset.0.set etc etc.

 

I have found on the ZoomLine charts the $dataset.0.set syntax doesn't work.

 

Using the $canvasStartY and $canvasStartX syntax works correctly and draws annotations on the chart correctly but using the $dataset.0.set way just doesn't work and I need this as I line the annotations up with the labels along the xaxis.

 

Can anybody help please?

 

Thanks

Paul

​Hi,

Macro $dataset.0.set shall not work in zoomline charts because all the data points are not shown in the chart initially, points will be visible only after zooming search for a point so it is not possible to select a particular point to draw annotations.

Hi,

 

That does make sense but...

 

The reason we are having to use annotations is because the older VTrendLines were never implemented in the Javascript versions of your charts - they only worked in Flash (they worked very well in flash for both line and zoom line charts).

 

So we move to annotations which kind of do the job and find they don't work in ZoomLine charts.

 

This is all quite frustrating.

 

amCharts manage it somehow,,,

Hi,
 

​ It is only for Zoomline charts that some features are deprecated ​in JavaScript versions for performance reasons, rest charts shall be working fine.
 

Sorry for inconvenience.
