Select points on Scatter Plots in JavaScript Plotly instead of zooming - plotly.js

Is it possible to overwrite the default behaviour on zoom event? I would like to select points in the region on Scatter Plots in JavaScript Plotly instead of zooming.

Yes, you can set layout.dragmode = 'select' to change the default behaviour, see https://plotly.com/javascript/reference/layout/#layout-dragmode.

How to change z-index of amCharts axisGuides

I am trying to visualize a filter in my stock chart by graying out data points which are affected by the filter. I'm using axisGuides on my valueAxis in order to achieve this. However, I also have axisGuides on my categoryAxis and unfortunately, these now disappear beneath my horizontal axisGuides.
Is there any way to change the z-index of those guides? Or does anybody have a different solution?
I have adapted an official amCharts example to show what I mean:
http://jsfiddle.net/wq97ujne/
I'm setting plotAreaFillColors": '#ababab' on my stock panel and fillColor: "#ffffff" on my valueAxisGuide.
I would like for the vertical guides to be drawn in front of and not behind the white area.
You need to set above: true for the categoryAxisGuides.

d3.js v4 how to set brush programmatically

I am building a version of this parallel coordinate view in d3.js v4.
https://bl.ocks.org/syntagmatic/05a5b0897a48890133beb59c815bd953
In my example I have a predefined selection (in the form of a [min,max] array that I would like to set programatically as a brush in one or more of the axes, after the plot has loaded. But I cannot seem to find a way to do it. Most examples I found on setting a brush from code are using d3 v3 and use setting extent but that does not work anymore in v4 it seems.
can someone give me some tips and a simple example hot to do this in this case (so with multiple axes and brushes active) ?
thanks
Select your brush group and call brush.move, then also pass an array with the start and end coordinates. Your brush move event will then take care of the rest.
d3.select(".brush").call(brush.move, [[startX, endX], [startY, endY]]);

How do I add a permanent label for selected markers using the scatter plot chart in Spotfire?

I have created a scatter plot between two variables in Spotfire and would like to only show labels for the markers that I select. I believe you can do this via the properties however the other markers fade in colour and the labelling is only temporary when you click back on the chart. I would like the labels to remain and all colours remain at normal transparency.
Probably the best thing to do is:
Right Click > Properties > Appearance > Check "Use seperate color for marked items"

nvd3 multibar chart show values

I have a stacked multiBarChart created with nvd3: jsfiddle is here: http://jsfiddle.net/e3kxZ/5/
(1) How can I get each region to display its value near its top?
I tried showValues(true) but I don't think that's supported in multiBarChart.
Other concerns I have are:
(2) how to set the text color so that it contrasts enough with the region (dark vs light colors), and
(3) how to keep the text labels from overlapping if any particular region is small.
I found an svg example (doesn't use nvd3) -- it assumes a static size for the chart, but I'd prefer to use something convenient and dynamic like nvd3.
Alternatively, if there is a different js library that supports this out of the box, please let me know and I'll use that instead.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Extending chart functionality in SSRS

The default chart object in the SQL Server (2005) Business Intelligence Development Studio doesn't seem to some have formatting options like :
specifying the text direction of labels in the x and y axis
adding a trendline to a bar chart
arbitrarily resizing items in a chart - for example, if I resize the chart object, everything gets resized accordingly but I can't keep the size of the chart the same while extending the area of the legend for instance.
multiline chart labels
So what I want to know is
is there any easy answer to the formatting problems mentioned above?
what websites/books/resources/examples would you recommend I look
into for extending the functionality of the chart object?
Some colleagues of mine gave up on the stock control and bought Dundas charts
The stock charts are cut down versions of Dundas.
yes you can specify the text direction of labels in the x and y axis
Go to chart properties and in the tab x and y axis enter the chart title and in the title align use the combination like left/right/center align.
you can change the legend line go to the chart properties click legend tab inside this
there is an option for "display legend inside plot area" and you can include the trendline there
you can use multiline text labels when the text limits extends
I don't see how you can resize the legend, puting inside the plot area looks ugly for pie-chart
I'd recommend go with the dundas chart components gbn suggested.
If that's not possible at least this article should solve issue 1.
