Problem: Hi all! i am using chart.js to draw the charts. chart is a dynamic sometimes shows 10 points and sometimes can be more than thousand i have applied a panel successfully so that my points can be shown at some distance to read them easily.
Right now i want to know if there is any option to set the distance between points in x-axis grid. right now it automatically adjust the points.
What i tried: i tried to do the stepsize and scalewidth by searching other stackoverflow answers but did not succeed. Any kind of help would be much appreciated.
P.S: i m using chart.js2
This is my chartjs dataset
var data = {
labels: data.graph_date,

return multistringText;
}
}

new_chart[ctx.canvas.id].destroy();
new_chart[ctx.canvas.id] =new Chart(ctx, {

In x-axis there is data like this

in y-axis data is like this
[0.1,0.05,0.89,0.89,0.79,0.58,0.68,0.25,0.98]

- stepSize does work, what do you mean you did not suceed? – kristjan reinhold Commented Mar 29, 2017 at 13:28
- kristjan it did not work on xaxis it only work to the yaxis – tech_geek Commented Mar 29, 2017 at 13:42
- Can you post your entire chart.js config and a sample of your data? This is what is needed to provide a specific answer. – jordanwillis Commented Mar 29, 2017 at 15:22

Reset to default 1The way to control distance between points it to set the X and Y axis with a min, max, and step size so that they never change regardless of the number of points that are in the chart.
Here is an example that sets the scales so that they will never change. Regardless of how many points appear on the chart everything will stay the same.
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: {
datasets: [{
label: 'Points',
data: [
{x: 0, y: 2},
{x: 1, y: 3},
{x: 2, y: 2},
{x: 1.02, y: 0.4},
{x: 0, y: -1}
],
backgroundColor: 'rgba(123, 83, 252, 0.8)',
borderColor: 'rgba(33, 232, 234, 1)',
borderWidth: 1,
fill: false,
showLine: false,
}],
},
options: {
title: {
display: true,
text: 'Chart.js - Fixed X and Y Axis',
},
scales: {
xAxes: [{
type: 'linear',
position: 'bottom',
ticks: {
min: -1,
max: 8,
stepSize: 1,
fixedStepSize: 1,
}
}],
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
min: -2,
max: 4,
stepSize: 1,
fixedStepSize: 1,
}
}]
}
}
});
Here is a codepen example that demonstrates what this looks like
