yeah… i had this workaround in my mind… but actually i am fetching data from database so it is such that:-
there are centers and there are courses…. now, some centers may not have all the courses and i want to plot the enrollments…
so.. it would’ve been easier if i could give custom string values to “x” attribute directly and then it would group them together according to that :(
Anyways… i’ll go for the workaround.. thanx

i mean try this:
https://canvasjs.com/docs/charts/basics-of-creating-html5-chart/
in the first chart editor create another data series:

{

type: “column”,
dataPoints: [

{ label: “orange”, y: 15 },
{ label: “apple”, y: 10 },// i switched apples and oranges
{ label: “banana”, y: 25 },
{ label: “mango”, y: 30 },
{ label: “grape”, y: 28 }
]
}

this plots apples with oranges and x axis labels are according to the last data series entered i.e. it only respects the order of data entry, not grouping according to labels.
also i can’t use x for grouping since it doesn’t allow string data type

hey!!!
the “frustrated” array actually contained string “20”, “25” and “30”
just thought about it while creating the fiddle
So i used parseInt() around it and it showed line.
What a noob mistake XD XD

Anyways now it is working ^_^ yeye!!!
thanx for the help tho :)

Also about new version… why don’t u guys have a cdn for latest version? i don’t like downloading stuff … so i use cdn and latest cdn is for version 1.7.0 can u plz host the latest version on a cdn….

I have used this:
axisX:{
valueFormatString: ‘Test #’,
interval:1,
maximum:3.5
}
So as far as x values are concerned they are fine…. because it is showing the chart with Test 1 Test 2 and Test 3 on X-axis
its only so that assigning a new variable to datapoints doesn’t show the line… like i said tooltips are visible.

PS: I am using https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/canvasjs/1.7.0/canvasjs.min.js
