xAxis type DateTime

[ziggyParticipant]

Hi,

Can a x-Axis have a type ‘datetime’?

Hi Karen,

The xAxis can be of type ‘date’ and you can set its baseUnit property to ‘year’, ‘month’, ‘day’, ‘hour’, ‘minute’, ‘second’ or ‘millisecond’ if you wish.

Hi Dimitar,

Thanks for the reply.

I have tried setting the baseUnit to hour but the x-axis is too crowded. Can we plot the dots (scatter plot) with baseUnit: ‘hours’ but the x-Axis display is by Date? In this way, the dots would be scattered and not plotted in a single line only.

Thanks!

Hi Karen,

This can be achieved. You just need to set the xAxis baseUnit to ‘day’. The scatter “circles” will be plotted based on the data points in the data source (every hour). A similar situation can be seen in the demo Line Series, where the x-axis shows months, but there is a data point for each day.

Best Regards,
