Remove grid lines and numbers on Chart.js

I am trying to remove the grid lines on the Radar chart on chart.js v2 for react.
Desired Result
but keeping the outermost line while removing the inner lines and numbers
I have attempted to use the following code but it only returns a runtime error saying "category" is not a registered scale.
const options = {
scales: {
x: {
grid: {
display: false
}
},
y: {
grid: {
display: false
}
}
}
}

This can be done through the following options.
scale: {
ticks: {
stepSize: 1,
callback: (v, i, values) => i + 1 < values.length ? '' : v
},
gridLines: {
color: [0, 0, 0, 0, '#ccc']
}
}
For further details, please consult the Styling page from the Chart.js v2.9.4 documentation.
Please take a look at below runnable code and see how it works. Note that it uses a generic approach for defining gridLines.color.
const labels = ['Things 1', 'Things 2', 'Things 3', 'Things 4', 'Things 5'];
const data = [0, 3, 5, 2, 5];
const max = Math.ceil(Math.max(...data));
new Chart('radar-chart', {
type: 'radar',
data: {
labels: labels,
datasets: [{
data: data,
fill: true,
backgroundColor: 'rgba(0, 0, 255,0.2)',
borderColor: 'rgb(0, 0, 255)'
}]
},
options: {
legend: {
display: false
},
scale: {
ticks: {
stepSize: 1,
max: max,
callback: (v, i, values) => i + 1 < values.length ? '' : v
},
gridLines: {
color: Array.from(Array(max).keys()).map((v, i) => i + 1 < max ? 0 : '#ccc')
}
}
}
});

<canvas id="radar-chart" height="80"></canvas>

From the error you are getting it seems like you are using Chart.js V3 and not V2. To get what you want you need to import and register everything if you want to use treeshaking, I suggest you do this at the latest part and for development import everything like so:
import Chart from 'chart.js/auto';
To hide and get the result what you want your config needs to look like this:
const labels = ['Things 1', 'Things 1', 'Things 1', 'Things 1', 'Things 1'];
const data = [0, 3, 5, 2, 3];
new Chart('radar-chart', {
type: 'radar',
data: {
labels: labels,
datasets: [{
data: data,
fill: true,
backgroundColor: 'rgba(0, 0, 255,0.2)',
borderColor: 'rgb(0, 0, 255)'
}]
},
options: {
plugins: {
legend: {
display: false
}
},
scales: {
r: {
ticks: {
stepSize: 1,
callback: (v, i, values) => i + 1 < values.length ? '' : v
},
grid: {
color: data.map((v, i) => i + 1 < data.length ? 0 : '#ccc')
}
}
}
}
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/3.8.0/chart.js"></script>
<canvas id="radar-chart" height="80"></canvas>
Notice that I specify a r scale instead of x and y

Chart.js (chartjs-node-canvas) create date-based floating bar graph

I will attempt to explain my issue as clearly as possible while also avoid making this topic too long. I recently found the Chart.js library, which is excellent for what I need. Now, since I am using Node.js and need a png of the graph, I am utilizing the chartjs-node-canvas library. Having this information in mind, I will try to split my topic into multiple sections for a clearer understanding.
Ultimate Goal
Before getting into the problem itself, I would like to discuss my ultimate goal. This is to give a general idea on what I'm trying to do so the responses are fitted accordingly. To keep this short, I have data in the form of {awardedDate: "2022-06-22T12:21:17.22Z", badgeId: 1234567}, with awardedDate being a timestamp of when the badge was awarded, and the badgeId being the ID of the badge that was awarded (which is irrelevant to the graph, but it exists because it's part of the data). Now, I have a sample with around 2,787 of these objects, with all having different award dates and IDs, and with dates ranging from 2016 to 2022. My objective is to group these badges by month-year, and that month-year will have the amount of badges earned for that month during that year. With that data, I then want to make a waterfall graph which is based on the amount of badges earned that month of that year. As of right now, there isn't a specific structure on how this will look like, but it could range from an object that looks like {"02-2022": 10, "03-2022": 5} to anything else. I can of course restructure this format based on what is required for a waterfall graph.
Actual Questions
Now that you have a general idea of what my ultimate goal is, my actual question is how I'd be able to make a floating (we can leave the waterfall structure stuff for another topic) bar graph with that data. Since the data can have blank periods (it is possible for a dataset to have gaps that are months long), I cannot really utilize labels (unless I am saying something wrong), so an x-y relation works the best. I tried using the structure of {x: "2022-06-22T12:21:17.226Z", y: [10, 15]}, but that didn't really yield any results. As of right now, I am using a sample code to test how the graph reacts with the data, and of course I'll replace the test values with actual values once I have a finished product. Here is my code so far:
const config = {
type: "bar",
data: {
datasets: [{
label: "Badges",
data: [
{
x: "2022-06-22T12:41:17.226Z",
y: [10, 15]
}
],
borderColor: "rgb(75, 192, 192)",
borderSkipped: false
}]
},
options: {
plugins: {
legend: {
display: false
},
title: {
display: true,
text: "Test",
color: "#FFFFFF"
}
},
scales: {
x: {
type: 'time',
title: {
display: true,
text: 'Time',
color: "#FFFFFF"
},
min: "2022-06-22T12:21:17.226Z",
max: "2022-06-22T14:21:17.226Z",
grid: {
borderColor: "#FFFFFF",
color: "#FFFFFF"
},
ticks: {
color: "#FFFFFF"
}
},
y: {
title: {
display: true,
text: 'Number of Badges',
borderColor: "#FFFFFF",
color: "#FFFFFF"
},
min: 0,
max: 50,
grid: {
borderColor: "#FFFFFF",
color: "#FFFFFF"
},
ticks: {
color: "#FFFFFF"
}
}
}
},
plugins: [
{
id: 'custom_canvas_background_color',
beforeDraw: (chart) => {
const ctx = chart.ctx;
ctx.save();
ctx.fillStyle = '#303030';
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, chart.width, chart.height);
ctx.restore();
}
}
]
};
const imageBuffer = await canvasRenderService.renderToBuffer(config)
fs.writeFileSync("./chart2.png", imageBuffer)
And this is the graph that the code produces:
What is supposed to happen, of course, is that a float bar should be generated near the start that ranges from 5 to 10, but as seen above, nothing happens. If someone could assist me in my problem, that would be amazing. Thank you very much for your time and help, I greatly appreciate it.

Inspired by this answer, I came up with the following solution.
const baseData = [
{ awardedDate: "2022-06-22T12:21:17.22Z" },
{ awardedDate: "2022-06-18T12:21:17.22Z" },
{ awardedDate: "2022-06-15T12:21:17.22Z" },
{ awardedDate: "2022-05-20T12:21:17.22Z" },
{ awardedDate: "2022-05-10T12:21:17.22Z" },
{ awardedDate: "2022-04-16T12:21:17.22Z" },
{ awardedDate: "2022-04-09T12:21:17.22Z" },
{ awardedDate: "2022-04-03T12:21:17.22Z" },
{ awardedDate: "2022-04-01T12:21:17.22Z" },
{ awardedDate: "2022-02-18T12:21:17.22Z" },
{ awardedDate: "2022-02-12T12:21:17.22Z" },
{ awardedDate: "2022-01-17T12:21:17.22Z" }
];
const badgesPerMonth = baseData
.map(o => o.awardedDate)
.sort()
.map(v => moment(v))
.map(m => m.format('MMM YYYY'))
.reduce((acc, month) => {
const badges = acc[month] || 0;
acc[month] = badges + 1;
return acc;
}, {});
const months = Object.keys(badgesPerMonth);
const labels = months.concat('Total');
const data = [];
let total = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < months.length; i++) {
const vStart = total;
total += badgesPerMonth[months[i]];
data.push([vStart, total]);
}
data.push(total);
const backgroundColors = data
.map((o, i) => 'rgba(255, 99, 132, ' + (i + (11 - data.length)) * 0.1 + ')');
new Chart('badges', {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: labels,
datasets: [{
label: 'Badges',
data: data,
backgroundColor: backgroundColors,
barPercentage: 1,
categoryPercentage: 0.95
}]
},
options: {
plugins: {
tooltip: {
callbacks: {
label: ctx => {
const v = data[ctx.dataIndex];
return Array.isArray(v) ? v[1] - v[0] : v;
}
}
}
},
scales: {
y: {
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true,
stepSize: 2
}
}
}
}
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/3.8.0/chart.min.js"></script>
<canvas id="badges" height="95"></canvas>
If you also want to see the gaps, you would first have to initialize badgesPerMonth with following months between the earliest and latest date, each with value zero. Please take a look at this answer to get an idea about how this could be done.

After reading #uminder's reply, I was able to create the following code which solved my problem:
dateGroups = Object.fromEntries(
Object.entries(dateGroups).sort(([d1,],[d2,]) => {return (d1 < d2) ? -1 : ((d1 > d2) ? 1 : 0)})
)
const dateTimesConst = Object.keys(dateGroups)
const dateValuesConst = Object.values(dateGroups)
let dateTimes = []
let dateValues = []
let prevLength = 0
let mostBadgesPerMonth = 0
for (let i = 0; i < dateValuesConst.length; i++) {
const currentMonth = new Date(Date.parse(dateTimesConst[i]))
const previousMonth = new Date(Date.UTC(currentMonth.getUTCFullYear(), currentMonth.getUTCMonth() - 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0)).toISOString()
const nextMonth = new Date(Date.UTC(currentMonth.getUTCFullYear(), currentMonth.getUTCMonth() + 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0)).toISOString()
// if (!dateTimesConst.includes(previousMonth)) prevLength = 0
const length = dateValuesConst[i].length
dateValues.push([prevLength, length])
dateTimes.push(dateTimesConst[i])
prevLength = length
if (length > mostBadgesPerMonth) mostBadgesPerMonth = length
// if (!dateTimesConst.includes(nextMonth) && i !== dateValuesConst.length - 1) {
// dateTimes.push(nextMonth)
// dateValues.push([length, 0])
// prevLength = 0
// }
}
function barColorCode() {
return (ctx) => {
const start = ctx.parsed._custom.start
const end = ctx.parsed._custom.end
return start <= end ? "rgba(50, 168, 82, 1)" : (start > end) ? "rgba(191, 27, 27, 1)" : "black"
}
}
const config = {

Again, big thanks to #uminder for the inspiration.

ChartJS options.scales is being completely ignored

I am trying to make a chart which has years along the x-axis and dollar amounts along the y-axis. I finally got close to what I'm looking for, but I found that because the x coordinates are numbers, ChartJS is putting commas in them which looks really strange for years.
After some digging, I used the callbacks. options.plugin.tooltip.callbacks.label worked to let me remove commas in the tooltips, but when I use options.scales.x[0].ticks.callback to try to fix the labels on the bottom, not only does it not work, but I don't see the console.log statement in their ever being printed so it seems it's not even calling the callback. I've tried several variations of how to do the callback based on what I found online and on Stack Overflow which I think correspond to the different ways ChartJS did this in different versions. (I'm on version 3.5.1.)
Then, I realized that... none of the options under options.scales appear to have any effect. I change the min, the title, the tick settings (color to red, callback, etc.) and it has no effect. (This also explains why I was having trouble when using the line chart and had to switch to scatter; apparently type: 'linear' wasn't being picked up nor did it do anything different when I set it to type: 'date' or whatever the exact working was for that.)
Meanwhile, the other options like options.showLine or options.elements do have an effect and I'm seeing the chart and not getting any errors in the console. So, it is picking up the options, just ignoring everything I have in options.scales.
Here is the relevant code:
// Sample data added to make this example self-contained
// This is my internal data format
let data = {
"Series1": [ {x: 2001, y: 100 }, {x: 2002, y: 110 }, {x: 2003, y: 107 }, ],
"Series2": [ {x: 2001, y: 107 }, {x: 2002, y: 102 }, {x: 2004, y: 95 }, ],
}
// Define data //////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// I convert data to format ChartJS wants and add a few options
let datasets = [];
for(let label in data) {
let c = colorIterator.next().value

As described in the docs the scales are not arrays. All the scales are objects in the scale object.
So you will need to change your code to this:
options: {
scales: {
x: {
// x options
},
y: {
// y options
},
}
}

Add click event on each category name on X axis in c3 js

I'm using c3 js for generating categories bar chart
Here is code
var obj = {
size: {
height: 200,
},
bindto: '#grBarChart',
data: {
columns: data.columns,
type: "bar"
},
color: {
pattern: ['#c90000', '#008cba', '#FAAC3D','#427322', '#9ead9b', '#ffa500']
},
axis: {
x: {
type: 'category',
categories: data.categories,
label: {
text: 'Scanned Groups',
position: 'outer-center'
}
},
y: {
label: {
text: 'Count (Rules)',
position: 'outer-middle'
}
}
},
bar: {
width: {
ratio: 0.5,
}
},
grid: {
y: {
show: true
}
}
};
var chart = c3.generate(obj);
This code is generating the following graph
Now my problem is I'm not able to add click event on X Axis Category Names ( Logging 11, Data Protection 13 ...)
I referred C3 Documentation but not able to solve my problem.
Please give me your thought?

C3 graph overlapping x-axis label

C3 graph overlap x-axis labels which is in date time format. I have googled this query but didn't get any solution for it.Is it possible that c3 only shows couple of date time rather then showing altogether which result in overlap x-axis labels
var data = {
x: 'x',
xFormat:'%Y-%m-%d/%H:%M',
empty: {
label: {
text: "No Data"
}
},
columns: [
['x', '{$dateArray}'],
['Attack', {$data}],
],colors: {
Attack: '#67b7dc',
},
types: {
Attack: 'area'
}};
var chart = c3.generate({bindto: '#chart1',
size: {
height: 630,
},
data: data,
grid: {
x: {
show: true
},
y: {
show: true
}
},
tooltip: {
format: {
value: function (value, ratio, id) {
var format = value+' Gbps [ IP: '+destIp[value]+' ]';
return format;
}
}
},
zoom: {
enabled: true
},
subchart: {
show: true
},axis: {
x: {
type: 'timeseries',
tick: {
format: '%b %d, %H:%M',
rotate: 90,
multiline: false
}
},
y: {
tick: {
format: function (d) {
return d.toFixed(3);
}
},
label: {
text: 'Attack Size ( Gbps )',
position: 'outer-middle'
}
}
}
});

Use c3.js chart config tick.count, set it to desired integer value like 2,3 or 4.
Use c3.js Timeseries Chart exmaple to play with this config.
