Labelstep Issue With Js Rendered Graph

[GKoehl]

Hey All,

 

I am new to the forum and I have looked for a post regarding the issue I am seeing but was unable to find one. If this post is misplaced please point me in the right direction. So I recently upgraded to 3.2, and I think all of the added functionality is great, thank you for the hard work. I have come across an issue and I am not sure if I am doing something improperly or it is a feature that is not yet available.

 

Basically I am trying to set the the "labelStep" value of a chart for the javascript rendered graph (MSLine). When I render the graph as flash with labelStep='4', the x-axis labels display as expected. However when I am viewing the same graph rendered with javascript, I see no label stepping as all x-axis labels are displayed.

 

I included a text file that shows an idea of what my graph would look like, sorry for the jumbled xml, I'm unable to use setDataXML with line breaks in the xml and I have yet to update the system to be able to use setXMLUrl. Thanks for any help you can offer, if this is simply a feature that is not added yet just let me know, thanks.

 

-- EDIT --

File would not upload properly so I'll just past the text, sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi,

 

I am afraid, as of it does not support the "labelStep" attribute.

 

We hope to support the same in our next release.

Actually, there is a workaround I've discovered. Place this code in before you call render(), it will show only every 4th label as you've asked:

 

if (!!chart_dt_inout_chart._overrideJSChartConfiguration) {
chart_dt_inout_chart._overrideJSChartConfiguration({
	xAxis: {
		labels: {
			formatter: function() {
				if (this.index % 4 == 0) {
					return this.value;
				} else { 
					return "";
				}
			}
		}
	}
});
}
