Remove weekends from highcharts

Is it possible to remove certain days in highcharts? I have a chart that only get data intervals from Monday to Friday. The problem Is that Saturday and Sunday is auto added to the graph even when there is no data for these days. I cant find anything that helps on api.highcharts.com they usually have solutions to all graph related problems but I cant seem to find anything about my problem. It's probably some easy option in the chart but I cant find anything that works.

You have two options, use highcharts and breaks.
An array defining breaks in the axis, the sections defined will be left out and all the points shifted closer to each other.
Requires that the broken-axis.js module is loaded.
It would look something like this, in a datetime axis:
xAxis: {
tickInterval: 1,
breaks: [{
from: 1537567200000,
to: 1537740000000,
breakSize: 1
}]
}
Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/ewolden/L3ykegzq/
Or switch to highstock where you can have an ordinal axis (ordinal is used by default):
In an ordinal axis, the points are equally spaced in the chart regardless of the actual time or x distance between them. This means that missing data periods (e.g. nights or weekends for a stock chart) will not take up space in the chart. Having ordinal: false will show any gaps created by the gapSize setting proportionate to their duration.

Set y-axis maximum label to one tick increment higher in NVD3

I am using NVD3 (a wrapper of d3) to draw a line graph. I want the data in the graph to be within the range of the axis. However, it looks inconsistent with the other labels, as the chart displays the max value of my data set on its own. See screenshot:
In this exanple, 18,554.41 is my highest data point. What I would like to see is the ticks/axis-lables to be in the same order of rounding throughout, with no overflow. i.e. 20,000,18000,16000 etc.
The caveat is that my dataset can vary quite differently - so I can't just set a max. Is there a way of just increasing the tick count by one or something?
Current relevant code:
var chart = nv.models.lineChart()
.showYAxis(true)
.forceY([0]);
chart.yAxis
.axisLabel('£')
.tickFormat(d3.format(','))
.ticks(8);
EDIT: added https://jsfiddle.net/60equ79h/2/
on the fiddle, I would like the first data set's topmost label to be 10,000. the second would be 80. i.e I would like to the y-axis to be increased by one tick

If I understand your question correctly, you can force the yAxis to have the values you define. You can hard code the values or write something clever to identify the min & max for your yAxis.
Update your chart to have the following:
chart.forceY([0, 20000]); // [min, max]
Hope it helps

Adding dynamic mean to time series chart

I will try to explain my problem as much accurate as possible. I am looking for a javascript chart library filling the two following conditions:
From an ajax request retrieving time series,
display dynamically data when changing the time window.
such as it is perfectly done on highstocks: http://www.highcharts.com/stock/demo/basic-line
And
plot an horizontal line corresponding to the mean,
changing when the user update the time window on the chart.
Actually it is possible to display an horizontal line. But they are fixed on the whole data and do not change accordingly when the time window is modified:
http://www.highcharts.com/stock/demo/yaxis-plotlines
I am quite new to the topic and would like to know if it'sp ossible to modify Highstock classes to have such a result. Or maybe some other js libraries exists?

Using a combination of the answer here:
Highchart, get total of visible series data after setExtremes
And an example of dynamic average using all visible series that I made for a previous question, here:
http://jsfiddle.net/jlbriggs/gweuLegq/
I put together this example, using the afterSetExtremes event, like this:
xAxis : {
events:{
afterSetExtremes:function() {
var ext = this.getExtremes();
getAverage(this.chart, ext.min, ext.max, show, width, avgColor, dashStyle);
}
}
},
Working example here:
http://jsfiddle.net/jlbriggs/c93543yL/
The idea is:
1) capture the afterSetExtremes event
2) get the resulting axis min and max
3) loop through the series data
4) if a point is between the min and max, increment the count, and add the
point's y value to the sum
5) calculate the average accordingly, check for existence of average series, if exists, update, if not, add
It could as easily use a plot line that you add/remove as needed instead of a series, but I like having it as a series so that it has a legend entry.

Strange tooltip behavior with long series in highcharts

I'm using Highcharts for a project in which I have to display two series with about a thousand points each. The x-axis represents a date, and the y-axis a quantity. In addition, each point has an associated list of namesMy data is day-by-day without gaps, with a structure such as
var mydata = [ ...
{x: theDate, y: theValue, names: theNames},
... ]
where theNames is an array of strings. I can access these in the tooltip formatter through this.points.point.names, given that the range displayed on the chart is small enough. If I change the x-axes so that the start date and end date are more than roughly a year apart, then the tooltip is not rendered at all.
One of the possible avenues that I have tried but failed with so far is setting the turboThreshold limit to the length of the longest series plus 1. Setting this lets me at least display a graph when mydata.length > 1000 (the default value). However, this only displays the tooltip if the x-axis range is less than 261. Otherwise, the tooltip disappears entirely, as does the point.data object where I'm getting the name from.
I'm also not great at JavaScript, but I was wondering if there were a way to separate the names of the points from the array containing them (in my examples, myData1 and myData2) and somehow access those names from the tooltip function without going through the current point.
Here is the link to the jsFiddle demonstrating this issue.
All help is appreciated!

The problem is in dataGrouping, when disabled works fine: http://jsfiddle.net/34tfg/1/
DataGrouping is method in Highcharts to approximate points and display them when width of the chart is not enough, e.g. how to display 10 000points in a chart of width 1 000px -> 10 points in a one pixel..? And when dataGrouping is used, new points are created, so all your custom options like 'names' etc. are lost (at least not accessible).
Code:
plotOptions: {
line: {
dataGrouping: {
enabled: false
},
turboThreshold: 10000
}
},

Dynamically pass series in jqplot line chart

I have used jqplot line chart.
I have get data from php page using ajax.In some condition I will display specific series.So
How to pass series dynamically in jqplot line chart and also set legend of series ?
I have manually write code for above requirement.I have apply click event on legend series and draw graph as per click on legend.
I have also change y-axis value as per select/deselect series legend.

I originally tried the answer posted by #sdespont, but due to additional properties that need to be in place for the series, it wasn't working properly. I was able to get this working by doing the following:
plot1.data = data;
plot1.replot( data );
data is a 3D array of the same makeup as you would pass in when creating the plot. If I did either part without doing the other, it wouldn't refresh properly, but the combination of the two seems to do the trick. Refreshing the plot in this fashion would dynamically add or remove any series I added to the data array.
Hope that helps.

You could add or remove series by playing with plot1.series array.
Here is a good jsfiddle : jsfiddle.net/fracu/HrZcj
The idea is to create an array with data
myNewSerie = Array();
x = (new Date()).getTime();
y = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);
myNewSerie.push([x, y]);
Then add it to the graph using the next available slot
plot1.series[plot1.series.length] = myNewSerie
And finally redraw using plot1.replot();
Check out the updateSeries function in the end of the fiddle
Not tested, but should work

I had the same problem recently. "replot" works but is veeerrryyy slow. I used "jQPlot.drawSeries" which is blazingly fast. Just give your new series data to jQPlot as usual and call jQPlot.drawSeries({}, <nr of your series from 0...xxx)
My realtime chart with 800 values runs with >> 60 FPS on my PC and also very fast on my mobiles.
