I am working on an application where I am trying to plot a similar graph to what is plotted at Open Weather. I am using the FlotJS library to query their API and plot the graphs.
Here is my code. I apologize for the verbosity.
/*

// load all flot plugins
loadScript("js/plugin/flot/jquery.flot.cust.min.js", function(){
loadScript("js/plugin/flot/jquery.flot.resize.min.js", function(){
loadScript("js/plugin/flot/jquery.flot.time.min.js", function(){
loadScript("js/plugin/flot/jquery.flot.tooltip.min.js", generatePageGraphs);
});
});
});
function generatePageGraphs(){

var temp = [];
var humidity = [];
var rain = [];
$.each(response.list, function(i, item){
if(moment(item.dt, 'X').isSame(moment(), 'day')){
var temperature = ( ( parseFloat(item.main.temp)-273.15 )*1.80 ).toFixed(0);
temp.push([moment(item.dt, 'X').valueOf(), temperature]);
humidity.push([moment(item.dt, 'X').valueOf(), parseFloat(item.main.humidity)]);
if(item.rain != undefined){
rain.push([moment(item.dt, 'X').valueOf(), parseFloat(item.rain["3h"])]);

});
}
The two graphs are almost identical except the data which they are portraying.
The main (first) graph has the all the y axis plotted correctly. And we can see the axis for all 3 correctly. The daily (second) graph does have the rain y axis, although the options for them are similar.
Other than this, all tooltips are working fine but the temperature tooltips where I can see the placeholder %y and not the real value.
I have been debugging this code for the past 2 hours and I am not a Flot expert and I am not able to figure what is wrong.
Can anybody look at the code and tell me what is going wrong? Thank you in advance.
While you're creating your temperature data arrays, you need to parse the temperature value as a float. Make sure to parse the value as a float for both graphs. You're doing this for your humidity variable, and that is why the tooltip is working for that series.
