Adjusting dates in X Axis Plotly

I was wondering how can you achieve the following:
I'm using a Date format of year and month ( i.e 2022-01), but Plotly is not providing an option to have a simple date value for the x Axis, Chart.JS actually allows you to define the date by month, so what is happening is that if you zoom in to one month, then you can see days and even hours, so how do I change that?
Secondly, is there a way to control how the X-axis is displayed?, for example perhaps when you have more than one year is better to show quarters, but as you zoom in for a 1-year period, then I would like to see every month display?, but I don't want to have more granularity, I would like to have only the month display in the graph

You code was mostly right the only thing that needed fixing is the scrollZoom: true. The code won't work unless you put scrollZoom: true because the function won't be active unless specified. You need this so you can enable it for your graph. You need to select the timeframe using you mouse. Click and drag to see your timeframe.

Add different labels in a line chart - Chart.js

I need to plot some information that the X-axis is the time and the Y-axis is the a numerical value. The structure is similar to the next table,
Name Date Result
N1 9:00 88
N1 9:10 84
N1 9:16 83
N1 9:23 83
N1 9:29 85
N2 9:03 87
N2 9:07 87
N2 9:18 87
N2 9:25 86
N2 9:29 86
Thus, what I need with this example, are two independent lines that each one work with it data.
To show this info I'm using chart.js. My first idea was to use the scatter type graph, but this is not possible because it only works with numerical values. Therefore, I thought about using the line type graph, but the problem with this is that by default you can only define a single label and how you can see I need each information to be independent since they don't have to match the hours.
Is it possible to add another label? I've tried to define two lists but it doesn't work and I don't know how to deal with it.
let ctx = document.getElementById("my_chart").getContext("2d");
my_chart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: [
['9:00','9:10','9:16','9:23','9:29'],
['9:03','9:07','9:18','9:25','9:29']
],
datasets: [{
data: [88,84,83,83,85],
label: "N1",
borderColor: "#8e5ea2",
fill: false
}, {
data: [87,87,87,86,86],
label: "N2",
borderColor: "#c45850",
fill: false
}]
},
options: {
title: {
display: true,
text: 'Info'
}
}
});
EDIT: My modifications with the help of #alonas and #HeadhunterKev
This is what I have now, is not working I suppose the format is wrong but I don't know what. Maybe I need seconds? Probably is a silly question but I'm lost with this...
var sData = {
datasets: [{
label: 'Dataset1',
data: [{
x: '09:00',
y: 88
}, {
x: '09:10',
y: 89
}, {
x: '09:13',
y: 86
}, {
x: '09:23',
y: 86
}, {
x: '09:26',
y: 85
}, {
x: '09:29',
y: 83
}]
}, {
label: 'Dataset2',
data: [{
x: '09:02',
y: 88
}, {
x: '09:13',
y: 89
}, {
x: '09:14',
y: 86
}, {
x: '09:20',
y: 86
}, {
x: '09:24',
y: 85
}, {
x: '09:29',
y: 83
}]
}]
}
sData.datasets[0].data = formatData(sData.datasets[0].data)
sData.datasets[1].data = formatData(sData.datasets[1].data)
function formatData(oldData) {
var newData = []
for (var i = 0; i < oldData.length; i++) {
var currentData = {}
currentData.x = moment(oldData[i].x, "hh:mm").format('HH:mm')
currentData.y = oldData[i].y
newData.push(currentData)
}
return newData
}
var data = sData
var options = {
responsive: true,
scales: {
xAxes: [{
type: 'time',
}]
},
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
title: function(tooltipItem, data){
return moment(tooltipItem[0].label).format('hh:mm')
}
}
}
}
var ctx = document.getElementById('bateria_graf');
let chart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: data,
options: options
});
Can somebody help me? Thank you very much.

You can provide data as a list of x,y:
datasets: [{
data: [{y:88,x:`${timestamp of 9:00}` },...],
...
}, {
data: [{y:87, x:`${timestamp of 9:03}`},...],
...
}]
like here https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/charts/line.html#point
And then in options define how to display the x value (timestamp) as hour:minutes
{
scales: {
xAxes: [{
ticks: {
callback = (label, index, labels) => {
return moment.unix(label).format('HH:mm');
}
}
}]
}
}

Dynamicly update scatter/line chart in Chart.JS with multiple x/y grids

I would like to create a function that I can send data to push to my line chart. My function currently looks like this:
function addData(label, xp1, yp1, xp2, yp2) {
chart.data.labels.push(label);
chart.data.datasets.data.push({x: xp1, y: yp1}, {x: xp2, y: yp2});
chart.update();
}
label is a string
xp1, xp2, yp1, yp2 are doubles
I am running a loop that will execute this function. Nothing happens and my chart remains blank.
I have looked at the Chart.js docs and it doesn't seem to be helpful for my situation and it appears they have errors in their example code
This is my starting code:
var ctx = document.getElementById('chart').getContext('2d');
var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: [''],
datasets: [{}]
},
options: {}
});
This is what I expect it to look like once it's filled in:
var ctx = document.getElementById('chart').getContext('2d');
var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: ['a', 'b', 'c'],
datasets: [{
label: 'a',
fill: false,
data: [
{
x: 0,
y: 9
}, {
x: 3,
y: 9
}
]
},
{
label: 'a',
fill: false,
data: [
{
x: 3,
y: 7
}, {
x: 5,
y: 7
}
]
},
{
label: 'c',
fill: false,
data: [
{
x: 5,
y: 5
}, {
x: 10,
y: 5
}
]
}]
},
options: {}
});

You need to change your function this way:
function addData(label, xp1, yp1, xp2, yp2) {
chart.data.labels.push(label);
chart.data.datasets.push([{ label: label, fill: false, data: [ {x: xp1, y: yp1}, {x: xp2, y: yp2} ] }]);
chart.update();
};

You can directly access your data and update contents with:
chart.data.datasets[0].data.push( {x:5, y:2} ,{x:10, y:12},...,{x:50, y:25} );
which is easier if your want to maintain the series paint/color settings.

Dynamically Add Data Points To Rickshaw Graph

So I'm using the Rickshaw graphing library and I was wondering how to dynamically add points to a graph.
I have a graph instantiated like this:
#seriesData = [ [], [], [] ]
random = new Rickshaw.Fixtures.RandomData(150)
for (var i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
random.addData(self.seriesData)
}
#graph = new Rickshaw.Graph(
element: document.getElementById("chart")
width: 550
height: 300
renderer: 'area'
series: [
{
color: "#c05020"
data: self.seriesData[0]
name: 'One'
}, {
color: "#30c020"
data: self.seriesData[1]
name: 'Two'
}, {
color: "#2791d7"
data: self.seriesData[2]
name: 'Three'
}
]
)
#graph.render()
hoverDetail = new Rickshaw.Graph.HoverDetail(
graph: self.graph
)
legend = new Rickshaw.Graph.Legend(
graph: self.graph
element: document.getElementById('legend')
)
shelving = new Rickshaw.Graph.Behavior.Series.Toggle(
graph: self.graph
legend: legend
)
axes = new Rickshaw.Graph.Axis.Time(
graph: self.graph
)
axes.render()
And I have data coming in through socket.io like this:
app.on('data',
(one, two, three) =>
// Dynamically add data points to graph
)
And I was wondering how to append these three points to the graph. I can't find any good documentation for this library. I know it's built on top of d3.js, but I'm not sure how to incorporate these methods into my graph.
Any help would be appreciated.

I envision two scenario that could solve your question:
Using the fixed Window Series for Streaming Data
leveraging the fact that arrays in javascript are passed by reference. A demo is available here
.
var data = [
{
data: [ { x: 0, y: 120 }, { x: 1, y: 890 }, { x: 2, y: 38 }, { x: 3, y: 70 }, { x: 4, y: 32 } ],
color: "#c05020"
}, {
data: [ { x: 0, y: 80 }, { x: 1, y: 200 }, { x: 2, y: 100 }, { x: 3, y: 520 }, { x: 4, y: 133 } ],
color: "#30c020"
}
];
var graph = new Rickshaw.Graph( {
element: document.getElementById("chart"),
renderer: 'line',
height: 300,
width: 800,
series: data
} );
var y_ticks = new Rickshaw.Graph.Axis.Y( {
graph: graph,
orientation: 'left',
tickFormat: Rickshaw.Fixtures.Number.formatKMBT,
element: document.getElementById('y_axis'),
} );
graph.render();
$('button#add').click(function() {
data.push({
data: [ { x: 0, y: 200 }, { x: 1, y: 390 }, { x: 2, y: 1000 }, { x: 3, y: 200 }, { x: 4, y: 230 } ],
color: "#6060c0"
});
graph.update();
});

Adding data to empty rickshaw chart

I am charting different data with RickshawJS. But I need a way to update the chart when a user clicks the #search button. Right now it just creates a new chart below the old one, and that is pretty messy.
The user enters the page and enters some details and clicks the button to chart it. So ideally I'd like to start with an empty chart that isn't shown, but I can't really figure out how to remove the data from the chart and axes and then update it.
I could call $('#chart svg').remove(); on the chart and axes but it seems messy.
$('#search').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
var data = utils.malletData();
var graph = new Rickshaw.Graph( {
element: document.querySelector("#chart"),
width: 800,
height: 250,
series: [ {
name: data['name'],
color: 'steelblue',
data: data['series']
} ]
} );
graph.render();
var hoverDetail = new Rickshaw.Graph.HoverDetail( {
graph: graph,
xFormatter: function(x) {
var date = new Date(x).getTime();
return moment(x).format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a');
},
yFormatter: function(y) { return Math.floor(y) + " users" }
} );
var xAxis = new Rickshaw.Graph.Axis.X( {
graph: graph,
orientation: 'bottom',
element: document.getElementById('x_axis'),
tickFormat: function(x) { return moment(x).fromNow(); },
ticks: 7,
tickSize: 1,
} );
xAxis.render();
var ticksTreatment = 'glow';
var yAxis = new Rickshaw.Graph.Axis.Y( {
graph: graph,
orientation: 'left',
tickFormat: Rickshaw.Fixtures.Number.formatKMBT,
ticksTreatment: ticksTreatment,
element: document.getElementById('y_axis'),
} );
yAxis.render();
});

There's no official way to do so. However, you could leverage the fact that arrays in javascript are passed by reference and then update the graph.
