Reply To: Problem when re-rendering chart (negative scale)

[Niklas]

Hi Anjali,

I do not understand how to accomplish this using my code as I do more than just setting dataPoints in my JSON.

Here is my full code. So if I understand you correctly I should move the part of where I am creating the chart from outside the AJAX call, and only manipulate the dataPoints array from the AJAX return. Correct?

But as you can see I am adding the entire data object to the chart from my JSON (gdataByRegion object).

I have tried with:

chartObject.options.data = gdataByRegion; but that does not work.

window.onload = function () {
     CanvasJS.addColorSet("AtlasColorSet", [
          "#0096c3",
          "#7c2167",
          "#fdc300",
          "#cbdeec",
          "#e7eff6",
          "#3EA0DD",
          "#F5A52A",
          "#23BFAA",
          "#FAA586",
          "#EB8CC6",
     ]);

     reportRender('2009-01-01', '2020-01-01');
}

function reportRender(date_from, date_to) {
     var fetchURI = '?dateFrom=' + date_from + '&dateTo=' + date_to;

     $.getJSON("./reportdata.php" + fetchURI, function(reportdata) {
          var gdataByRegion = reportdata.by_region;
          var gdataByCertType = reportdata.alldata.certdata.certdata_totals;
          var regiondataCert = reportdata.alldata.certdata.certificates;

          var cTypeData = [];
          $.each(gdataByCertType, function (certType, certCount) {
               var certPercentage = Math.floor((parseInt(certCount) / parseInt(reportdata.staffcount_total)) * 100);

               cTypeData.push({
                    label: certType,
                    indexLabelFontColor: "black",
                    indexLabel: "{y} (" + certPercentage + "%)",
                    y: certCount
               });
          });

          var gdataByCertType = [{
                    type: "column",
                    dataPoints: cTypeData
          }]

          console.log(reportdata);

          var chartByRegion = new CanvasJS.Chart("chartContainer_byRegion", {
               colorSet:  "AtlasColorSet",
