Legends in Chart.js, shows only one label

Just a warning: I am new to chart.js!
I have a couple of horizontal bar charts and it works fine except one issue that I cannot shake off. I have 5 labels in y-axis but the legend on top of the graph only shows one small rectangle in the color of the first (topmost) bar and even that does not display the label itself, followed by list of labels. I thought it would display each label next to small bar same color as in chart.
Unfortunately, this is an intranet app and I cannot provide a link but here is what I have (data is passed to this function from an ajax call):
function drawRespChart(chartLabels, chartData) {
var ctx = $("#rtChart");
console.log("Labels Array: " + chartLabels);
console.log("Data Array: " + chartData);
if (chartRespTime)
chartRespTime.destroy();
var chart = {
labels: chartLabels,
datasets: [
{
label: chartLabels,
backgroundColor: ["#c45850", "#e8c3b9", "#3cba9f", "#8e5ea2", "#3e95cd"],
data: chartData
}
]
};
chartRespTime = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'horizontalBar',
data: chart,
datalabels: {
anchor: 'end',
align: 'start',
},
options: {
title: {
display: true,
text: 'IDC Database Response Time (mili-seconds)'
},
legend: {
display: true,
labels: {
fontColor: 'rgb(255, 99, 132)'
}
},
scales: {
xAxes: [{
display: true,
scaleLabel: {
display: true,
labelString: 'Count'
},
ticks: {
major: {
fontStyle: 'bold',
fontColor: '#FF0000'
}
}
}],
yAxes: [{
display: true,
scaleLabel: {
display: true,
labelString: 'Response Time (ms)'
}
}]
},
plugins: {
datalabels: {
color: 'white',
display: function (context) {
return context.dataset.data[context.dataIndex] > 15;
},
font: {
weight: 'bold'
},
formatter: Math.round
}
},
maintainAspectRatio: true,
responsive: true,
showInlineValues: true,
centeredInllineValues: true,
tooltipCaretSize: 0
}
});
}
This is what I see in console window:
Labels Array: 0-350,350-700,700-1000,1000-1500
Data Array: 5065,32,27,3
What I see as legend is one rectangle, same color as first bar, followed by list of labels.

It seems that charts.js labels only works when you split the datasets.
Leaving an example.
https://jsfiddle.net/code4mk/1j62ey38/
datasets: [ {
label: 'Result',
fill:false,
data: aDatasets1,
backgroundColor: '#E91E63',
},
{
label: 'Result2',
fill:false,
data: aDatasets2,
backgroundColor: '#E91E93',
}];

Chart.js Stacked Bar - datasets visibility and ordering

I have a stacked chart with 3 datasets: Red, Green, Blue.
Here is the link to JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/bwcfL58v/
Let's imagine that these are the layers, which overlay each others:
Red as bottom layer, then Green as middle layer and Blue as top layer.
Take a look at the third day: we don't see the red value, cause it behind the green value (red smaller than green here). So, the question is how to move Green to the bottom layer and Red higher. I need the biggest value to be always at the bottom and the smallest value - at the top, this will allow us to see all the datasets for each day.
All I need is to datasets always be visible and do not hide each others.
let ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");
let myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: "bar",
data: {
labels: ["Day 1", "Day 2", "Day 3"],
datasets: [
{
label: 'Blueberry',
data: [25, 30, 40],
backgroundColor: 'blue',
},
{
label: 'Greenberry',
data: [50, 60, 100],
backgroundColor: 'green',
},
{
label: 'Strawberry',
data: [100, 120, 50],
backgroundColor: 'red',
}
]
},
options: {
responsive: true,
maintainAspectRatio: false,
scales: {
xAxes: [{
stacked: true,
gridLines: {
drawOnChartArea: false
},
}],
yAxes: [{
stacked: false,
display: false,
gridLines: {
drawOnChartArea: false
},
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true,
},
}]
},
legend: {
display: false
}
}
});

Chart.js 2.7: How to remove bar with value is 0 on the grouped bars?

I'm trying to remove the bar with value is 0 on grouped bar chart bars, but even though I see this solution many places it doesn't work for me.
What I want to do
I created this codepen. It contains a ChartJS grouped bar chart:
Vue.component('bar-chart', {
extends: VueChartJs.Bar,
mounted () {
this.renderChart({
labels: [1500,1600,1700,1750,1800,1850,1900],
datasets: [{
data: [168,17,0,190,0,276,108],
label: "Europe",
backgroundColor: "#3cba9f",
fill: false
}, {
data: [0,202,0,161,0,38,0],
label: "Asian",
backgroundColor: "#n8c9b2",
fill: false
},{
data: [0,202,0,161,224,38,0],
label: "Latin America",
backgroundColor: "#e8c3b9",
fill: false
}, {
data: [260,43,80,82,0,26,82],
label: "North America",
backgroundColor: "#c45850",
fill: false
}]
},
{
responsive: true,
maintainAspectRatio: false,
scales: {
xAxes: [{
categoryPercentage: 0.8,
barPercentage: 0.9
}],
yAxes: [{
scaleLabel: {
display: true
},
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true // minimum value will be 0.
}
}]
}
})
}
})
var vm = new Vue({
el: '.app'
})
Any idea on how to achieve the wanted behaviour?

Chart.js: Minimum value for x-axis at horizontal stacked bar chart

I am using Chart.js to generate a horizontal stacked bar chart. The chart currently looks like this:
This chart shows the user after how many years they should restorate a specific component of a house. I am trying to change this to in which year the user should do the restoration. Adding the current year to the values results to the following:
This is pretty much what I need if I could set the starting value of the x-axis to the current year. I tried to do this setting the minimum value like this:
options: {
scales: {
xAxes: [{
ticks: {
min: 2017
},
...
Unfortunatly results in not displaying the datasets at all like this:
I tried all combinations with adding the current year and setting the minimum values but nothing results in a useful chart.
In the following you can see my current source code:
var mainChart_ctx = document.getElementById("main_chart").getContext("2d");
var mainChart_config = {
type: 'horizontalBar',
data: {
labels: ['Kellerdecke', 'Fenster', 'Außenwand', 'Erdberührter Boden', 'Dach'],
datasets: [{
label: 'Beginn ab heute',
backgroundColor: 'transparent',
data: [4, 21, 25, 25, 25],
borderColor: '#666',
borderWidth: 1
},
{
label: 'Sanierungsdauer',
backgroundColor: '#ffcc00',
data: [2, 5, 5, 5, 5],
borderColor: '#666',
borderWidth: 1
},
{
label: 'Mittlere Restlebensdauer',
backgroundColor: 'orange',
data: [39, 0, 38, 51, 37],
borderColor: '#666',
borderWidth: 1
},
{
label: 'Maximale Restlebensdauer',
backgroundColor: 'orangered',
data: [20, 0, 0, 0, 0],
borderColor: '#666',
borderWidth: 1
}
]
},
options: {
tooltips: {
enabled: true
},
legend: {
display: false
},
title: {
display: true,
text: 'Sanierungsfahrplan',
fontSize: 24
},
scales: {
xAxes: [{
ticks: {
min: 0 /* Todo: change to current year? */
},
stacked: true,
scaleLabel: {
display: true,
labelString: 'Jahre',
fontSize: 16
}
}],
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
stepSize: 10
},
stacked: false,
scaleLabel: {
display: true,
labelString: 'Bauteil',
fontSize: 16
},
}]
}
}
};
mainChart = new Chart(mainChart_ctx, mainChart_config)
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/2.5.0/Chart.bundle.min.js"></script>
<canvas id="main_chart"></canvas>

I was able to get a suitable result using a callback like this:
xAxes: [{
ticks: {
min: 0,
callback: function (value, index, values) {
return value + 2017;
}
},
...
]

I found that suggestedMin works well:
options: {
scales: {
xAxes: [{
display: true,
ticks: {
suggestedMin: 2017
}
}]
}
}

Chartjs last label not shown

[UPDATE] The question seems to be solved (see comments). I will update the answer as soon as i am sure about it
I am trying to achieve a weather chart using chartjs library.
The chart will always have the weather date of the first day of the month and in addition to that one value in between (makes 24 values).
I want all "first day of the month" labels to be shown (with the corresponding gridline), the other data point in between should not be shown (or at least with no gridline).
The Problem now, somehow the last (12th) label is not gonna be shown and I have no idea why. The result looks like that:
My javascript code is that
var ctx = document.getElementById('canvas').getContext('2d');
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: [
"01","","02","","03","","04", "","05","","06","","07","","08","","09","","10","","11", "","12",""
],
datasets: [{
label: 'Temperature [°C]',
data: [
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3,4,5,6
],
borderColor: "rgb(0, 182, 206)",
pointRadius: 1,
backgroundColor: "rgba(0, 182, 206,0.4)"
}]
},
options: {
responsive: true,
maintainAspectRatio: false,
legend:{
display:false // Suppress interactive legend
},
scales: {
xAxes: [{
scaleLabel: {
display: false,
labelString: 'Month'
} ,
afterTickToLabelConversion: function(data){
var xLabels = data.ticks;
xLabels.forEach(function (labels, i) {
if (xLabels[i].length == 0){
xLabels[i] = '';
}
});
},
ticks: {
//maxRotation: 0,
//minRotation: 0,
autoSkip: true,
maxTicksLimit: 12
}
}],
yAxes: [{
scaleLabel: {
display: true,
labelString: 'Temperature [°C]'
},
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true
}
}]
}
}
});
Do you have some ideas?
