Set XAxis Value to start at 0

[Extrabeefy]

Hey All,

I was wondering if there is a way to set the XAxis and Y Axis to start at 0. Currently they both start at whatever there lowest value is in the dataPoints be that 0, 0.2, 0.5.

Thanks for the help!

Extrabeefy,

To start both axis at 0 you can set axisX minimum and axisY minimum to 0 as shown in the code snippet below –

axisX: {
   minimum: 0
 },
 axisY: {
   minimum: 0
 },

Also, kindly take a look at this JSFiddle for a complete working code.

Ah ok thank you from the example I figured it meant if I didn’t have a value of 0 then it would show 0.2. Thank you!

Hi,

I have a problem. I need to show a line chart which will always start from the yaxis line edge. That means, i cannot set x: 0, because that will move the data point a little right from the y axis line. A sample is shown in the image. Is there any way i can do this?

@vishnumohan89,

To design a line chart that always starts from y-axis line you can set the minimum of axisX to the x-value of the first dataPoint. Please check the below code snippet –

function setAxisXMinimum(){
   chart.axisX[0].set("minimum", chart.options.data[0].dataPoints[0].x);
}

Also, kindly take a look at this JSFiddle for complete working code.

What if I want the bar chart to start from -140 and only rise to the indicated value?

Nevermind. Used a range chart and it works fine.
