Tagged: data series, external file
Hi there,
In CanvasJS, is it possible to load a data series from an external file? For example, i have a file named data.txt with the content:
{ x: 10, y: 71 }, { x: 22, y: 55}, { x: 31, y: 50 }, { x: 44, y: 65 }, { x: 50, y: 95 }, { x: 64, y: 68 }, { x: 72, y: 28 }, { x: 84, y: 34 }, { x: 90, y: 14}
How can i assign this content to a CanvasJS variable and plot it, if possible?
Thanks in advance. Best regards.
@gutemberg,
Kindly refer this JSFiddle on creating chart from an external text file.
The format of the text file( e.g. dataPoints.txt ) should be:
10 71 22 55 31 50 44 65 50 95 64 68 72 28

@Sashi, thanks for your reply. Is it possible to load the content from a file without using an “input” html tag? I’ve searched through Internet and I realized that input tag is the easiest and most used way to do this, but I really want to do it programatically with CanvasJS without using any type kind of html tag.
Thanks in advance for your attention. Best Regards
You can achieve the above requirement using the jQuery get() method. Please refer to this StackOverflow article for more information on the same.
Hi Sashi, thanks again. I have a new question:In running CanvasJS line graphic (and maybe others) could exist marks on x axis without corresponding marks on y axis. How can I eliminated this x axis points related no value in y axis, pls?
Can you kindly share a pictorial representation and brief us more about your requirement so that we can understand your scenario better and help you out?
@Sashi, thanks for your almost infinite patiente with us. I put an exemple here . How can I eliminate the columns space related to dates 03 and 04/01/2020 (brazilian date format)?
Thanks in advance. Best Regards
Unwanted X-Axis Data Points
@Sashi, I found a proposed solution by @Indranil that is almost what I’m looking for. In his solution, @Indranil worked with date and time variables, excluding x-points that don’t have y-points.
Best regards.

@Sashi, don’t bother with my question anymore.
@Idranil’s solution worked. I only made a litle adjustment on my own data.
Thanks a lot guys.
Best regards
Glad that it worked for you :)
