stripLines in a xValueType: "dateTime" line chart

[jvmorin]

Hello everybody.

I want to put some “stripLines” on a line Chart. The problem is that the x-axe is in “dateTime” mode (xValueType: “dateTime”), wath implies that time is in milliseconds, instead of a “regular” date format.

How should I enter the “starValue” and “endValue” parameters to get the “StripLine” that I want on the chart?

At this time, I have tried the next ways:

startValue:2019-08-12 //for YYYY-MM-DD

startValue:1568307600000 //2019-08-12 expresed in millisecons

and some variants of the first one startValue:”2019-08-12″: startValue:(2019-08-12), startValue:’2019-08-12′ and some others, but the “stripLines” just doesn’t appear in the chart.

In the next link, there is simplified code of what I am try to explain above.

I will appreciate any comment.

@jvmorin,

You can either use JavaScript Date objects or timestamp to set the startValue and endValue for stripLine if xValueType is set to dateTime. Please take a look at this updated JSFiddle.

Dear Manoj.

Thanks a lot for your for your rapid response, that solves completely my problem. I only have completed the the DATE with the specif time when the “stripLines” must start and end.

The final code is:

stripLines:[{
startValue: new Date(2019,08,13,15,0),// for 2019-08-13 at 15:00 h
endValue: new Date(2019,08,18,21,45), // for 2019-08-18 at 21:45 h
label: “In the 40s”
}]

it works perfec.

Thank you again.

Hello.

Is there any way to rotate the label inside a “stripLines”? I mean, the default orientation inside the “stripLines” is vertical, but in some cases, I would like to show it horizontaly.

I have tried (unsuccessfully) to do it using “labelAngle: 0” and “labelAutoFit: true”.

This is part of my script:

`stripLines:[{
startValue: new Date(2019,08,12,15,0),
endValue: new Date(2019,08,13,21,45),
color:”#d8d8d8″,
opacity: 0.3,
label: “Flowing to B.P.”,
labelAngle: 50,
labelAutoFit: true,
},`

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards.
