canvasJS chart not rendering properly

Question

I'm trying to render multi line chart using canvasJS but it's not working as expected.

Here is my drawChart function

function drawChart(obj, placeholder){
var dataPoints = [];
var maxPrice = [];
var minPrice = [];
//console.info(obj);
for (var i = obj.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    dataPoints.push({label:obj[i].year+"-"+obj[i].month+"-"+obj[i].day,y:Math.round(obj[i].avgPrice * 1000) / 1000});
    minPrice.push({label:obj[i].year+"-"+obj[i].month+"-"+obj[i].day,y:obj[i].minPrice});
    maxPrice.push({label:obj[i].year+"-"+obj[i].month+"-"+obj[i].day,y:obj[i].maxPrice});
}
console.log(dataPoints);
console.log(maxPrice);
console.log(minPrice);
var chart = new CanvasJS.Chart("chartContainer",
{
    animationEnabled: true,
    //theme: "theme1",
    zoomEnabled: true,
    title:{
        text: placeholder
    },
    data: [
        {
            type: "spline",  //change type to bar, line, area, pie, etc
            showInLegend: true,
            legendText: "Average Price", 
            dataPoints: dataPoints    //this line I tried to change
        },
        {
            type: "spline",  
            showInLegend: true,
            legendText: "Min Price", 
            dataPoints: minPrice
        },
        {
            type: "spline",  
            showInLegend: true,
            legendText: "Max Price", 
            dataPoints: maxPrice
        }
    ],
    legend: {
        cursor: "pointer",
        itemclick: function (e) {
            if (typeof(e.dataSeries.visible) === "undefined" || e.dataSeries.visible) {
                e.dataSeries.visible = false;
            } else {
                e.dataSeries.visible = true;
        }
        chart.render();
        }
    }
});

chart.render();

}

var dataPoints, maxPrice, minPrice has same layout/data.

look here.

it's displaying chart like this, reset of two lines minPrice and maxPrice are vanished.

PS If I change dataPoints: dataPoints to dataPoints: min/maxPrice it doesn't work either that way.

Answer 1

I got the solution, I'm posting so it could be helpful for someone else.

I suspected that if you're trying to render chart dynamically, then for y-axis you need to use Math function to make it work.

So I changed these

dataPoints.push({label:obj[i].year+"-"+obj[i].month+"-"+obj[i].day,y:Math.round(obj[i].avgPrice * 1000) / 1000});
minPrice.push({label:obj[i].year+"-"+obj[i].month+"-"+obj[i].day,y:obj[i].minPrice});
maxPrice.push({label:obj[i].year+"-"+obj[i].month+"-"+obj[i].day,y:obj[i].maxPrice});

To

dataPoints.push({label:obj[i].year+"-"+obj[i].month+"-"+obj[i].day,y:Math.round(obj[i].avgPrice * 1000) / 1000});
minPrice.push({label:obj[i].year+"-"+obj[i].month+"-"+obj[i].day,y:Math.round(obj[i].minPrice * 1000) / 1000});
maxPrice.push({label:obj[i].year+"-"+obj[i].month+"-"+obj[i].day,y:Math.round(obj[i].maxPrice * 1000) / 1000});

and now it's working fine, may be this could be a bug in canvasjs or may be I was messing somewhere.
