I'm graphing some stocks data and I wanted to put the volume in a smaller gray bar dataset at the bottom, like in Yahoo Finance.
The small grey dataset is at the bottom.
Three different Y scales and the size of the volume dataset is the same a the other.
new Chart(context, {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: timestamps.map(n =>
(new Date(n * 1000)).toLocaleString()
),
datasets: [
dataset,
vdataset
]
},
options: {
maintainAspectRatio: false,
scales: {
xAxis: {
// type: 'time'
ticks: {
//autoSkip: true,
maxTicksLimit: 10
}
},
yAxes: [{
id: 'volume',
display: false
}],
y: {
beginAtZero: false
},
},
animation: {
duration: 0
},
plugins: {
autocolors: false,
annotation: {
annotations
}
},
tooltips: {
mode: 'nearest'
},
hover: {
intersect: false
}
}
});
{
type: 'bar',
label: `Volume`,
data: ...,
backgroundColor: 'transparent',
borderColor: 'grey',
fill: 'origin',
pointRadius: 0,
borderWidth: 2,
yAxisID: 'volume'
}
you need to give every dataset a yAxisID
and then you should name your axis with that id like this:
Data:
var data = {
labels: labels,
datasets: [{
label: 'My First Dataset',
data: generateTestSeries(),
fill: false,
borderColor: 'rgb(75, 192, 192)',
tension: 0.1,
yAxisID: "something",
},
{
label: 'My Second Dataset',
data: generateTestSeries(),
fill: false,
borderColor: 'rgb(182, 50, 192)',
tension: 0.1,
yAxisID: "volume",
},
]
};
Scales:
scales: {
volume: {
axis: "y",
min: -80,
max: 60,
position: 'right',
},
something: {
axis: "y",
min: -20,
max: 70,
position: 'left',
}
}
Also you shouldn't have the list yAxes, that was how axes were defined in chartjs 2.x
Here is a fiddle to see this in use: JSFiddle
edit: If you want an invisible axis just set display
to false
as seen in the now updated Fiddle.
