Canvas JS chart render issues

2k Views Asked by Syed Rahman At 24 April 2025 at 17:51

I am implementing range bar graph in Canvas JS. The X axis are day interval and the y axis are time hours. I want to have have the y value range between hours in time. Here's my code below, The problem is my chart doesn't render.

It takes forever to load and crashes without loading. This only happens if I use new date value for my y values range. Does any one here know why its not loading? How can I have range bar chart with y-axis hour interval that works?

Any help would be much appreciated. Here's my code in jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/syedrh/3kpn5hk1/

Syed,

Date-Time support for y-axis is not available in CanvasJS, as of now. But as a work-around to use date-time over y-axis.

var chart = new CanvasJS.Chart("chartContainer",
                               {
  title: {
    text: "How long an event occurred for on a given day"
  },
  axisY: {
    minimum: (new Date(2016, 0, 28, 11, 30)).getTime(),            
    interval: (1 * 60 * 60 * 1000),
    labelFormatter: function(e){
      return CanvasJS.formatDate(e.value, "DD - h:mm TT");
    }
  },

  toolTip:{
    contentFormatter: function ( e ) {
      return "<strong>" + e.entries[0].dataPoint.label + "</strong></br> Start: " +  CanvasJS.formatDate(e.entries[0].dataPoint.y[0], "DD - h:mm TT") + "</br>End : " +  CanvasJS.formatDate(e.entries[0].dataPoint.y[1], "DD - h:mm TT");  
    }},

  data: [
    {
      type: "rangeColumn",
      dataPoints: [
        { label: "Walking", y: [(new Date(2016, 0, 28, 12, 20)).getTime(), (new Date(2016, 0, 28, 13, 00)).getTime()] },
        { label: "Running", y: [(new Date(2016, 0, 28, 13, 20)).getTime(), (new Date(2016, 0, 28, 14, 20)).getTime()] },
        { label: "Walking", y: [(new Date(2016, 0, 28, 14, 20)).getTime(), (new Date(2016, 0, 28, 15, 00)).getTime()] }
      ]
    }
  ]                      
});
chart.render();
