RestAngular - Angular - NVD3 - CumulativeLineChart - plotting y axis and x axis


I am newbie to Restangular and using angular-nvd3 charts api.

I have RestService which is returning Json response in below format.

3 Different line will be plotted on single graphs.

Key - Name like A, B , C Values - milliseconds, order/sec

x-axis - Date (Converted from milliseconds)

y axis - orders/sec

Data structure used - List<String , List<List<Long>>>

I am plotting graph using below

Script Code

<script>

        angular.module('nvd3TestApp', ['nvd3','restangular']).config(function(RestangularProvider){
            RestangularProvider.setBaseUrl('myUrl')}).controller('MainCtrl', function($scope,Restangular) {

      var refreshInterval = 10 * 1000;
      var allCmnts = Restangular.all("getData");

     $scope.fetchData2 = function() {
      allCmnts.getList().then(function(response){
            $scope.data = response;
              });


           $scope.options = {
            chart: {
                type: 'cumulativeLineChart',
                height: 450,
                margin : {
                    top: 20,
                    right: 20,
                    bottom: 60,
                    left: 65
                },
                x: function(d){ return d[0]; },
                y: function(d){ return d[1]; },
                color: d3.scale.category10().range(),
                useInteractiveGuideline: true,


                xAxis: {
                    axisLabel: 'Time In Minutes',
                    tickFormat: function(d) {
                        return d3.time.format('%H:%M')(new Date(d))
                    },
                    showMaxMin: false,

                },

                yAxis: {
                    axisLabel: 'ORDERS',
                    tickFormat: function(d){
                        return d;
                    },

                }
            }
        };
    }

            setInterval(function() {
                $scope.$apply(function() {
                $scope.fetchData2();
                $scope.api.refresh();
                })
            }, refreshInterval);

            $scope.fetchData2();
        });
    </script>

HTML

<div ng-app ="nvd3TestApp">
    <div ng-controller="MainCtrl">
     <nvd3 options="options" data="data"></nvd3>
</div>
</div>

Issues i am facing

1.) The above code runs fine, no script errors, nothing. graph is getting displayed.

2.) Y-axis is not plotting properly, values are coming in decimals, though response as shown return Long values.

3.) Negative graph is getting displayed for y-axis

4.) x-axis is not plotting in continuous way, meaning 17:13 -> 17:16....., how to show 17:14, 17:15 etc..

Solution

  • After going through multiple blogs, there are some existing issues with cumulativeLineChart, so i switched to lineChart, no need to change anything in json structure.

    Below Somme more changes i did for plotting x-axis and y-axis.

    The issue for negative y-axis plotting was gone using linechart.

    xAxis: {
                            axisLabel: 'Time In Minutes',
                            tickFormat: function(d) {
                                return d3.time.format('%H:%M')(new Date(d))
                            },
                            orient: 'bottom',
                            tickPadding: 0,
                            rotateLabels: -45,
                            axisLabelDistance: 1,
                            ticks: xlength,
                        },
    
                        yAxis: {
                            axisLabel: 'data',
                            tickFormat: function(d){
                                return d;
                            },
                            orient: 'left',                 
                        }
                    }
