Chart.js V2.7.2 How to make Horizontal scroll bar without loosing Y-Axis - scroll

Question

I see some solutions but they are not working in V 2.7.2
Is there any way without using animation - make static Y-axis and scroll horizontal

Answer 1

I'm afraid I haven't yet found a way to achieve this without using animation. However, I have managed to find a solution that works in Chart.js 2.7.2.

This approach handles different DPR settings and will scale the axis to match the scaling that Chart.js applies to its charts. It also calls .clearRect() on the original Y axis that Chart.js draws, clearing the pixels in the defined area which means that there is no duplication of axes or overlaps.
CSS:
.chartWrapper {
position: relative;
}
.chartWrapper > canvas {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
pointer-events: none;
}
.chartAreaWrapper {
width: 600px;
overflow-x: scroll;
}
HTML
<div class="chartWrapper">
<div class="chartAreaWrapper">
<div class="chartAreaWrapper2">
<canvas id="chart-Test" height="300" width="1200"></canvas>
</div>
</div>
<canvas id="axis-Test" height="300" width="0"></canvas>
</div>
JS:
$(function () {
var rectangleSet = false;
var canvasTest = $('#chart-Test');
var chartTest = new Chart(canvasTest, {
type: 'bar',
data: chartData,
maintainAspectRatio: false,
responsive: true,
options: {
tooltips: {
titleFontSize: 0,
titleMarginBottom: 0,
bodyFontSize: 12
},
legend: {
display: false
},
scales: {
xAxes: [{
ticks: {
fontSize: 12,
display: false
}
}],
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
fontSize: 12,
beginAtZero: true
}
}]
},
animation: {
onComplete: function () {
if (!rectangleSet) {
var scale = window.devicePixelRatio;
var sourceCanvas = chartTest.chart.canvas;
var copyWidth = chartTest.scales['y-axis-0'].width - 10;
var copyHeight = chartTest.scales['y-axis-0'].height + chartTest.scales['y-axis-0'].top + 10;
var targetCtx = document.getElementById("axis-Test").getContext("2d");
targetCtx.scale(scale, scale);
targetCtx.canvas.width = copyWidth * scale;
targetCtx.canvas.height = copyHeight * scale;
targetCtx.canvas.style.width = `${copyWidth}px`;
targetCtx.canvas.style.height = `${copyHeight}px`;
targetCtx.drawImage(sourceCanvas, 0, 0, copyWidth * scale, copyHeight * scale, 0, 0, copyWidth * scale, copyHeight * scale);
var sourceCtx = sourceCanvas.getContext('2d');
// Normalize coordinate system to use css pixels.
sourceCtx.clearRect(0, 0, copyWidth * scale, copyHeight * scale);
rectangleSet = true;
}
},
onProgress: function () {
if (rectangleSet === true) {
var copyWidth = chartTest.scales['y-axis-0'].width;
var copyHeight = chartTest.scales['y-axis-0'].height + chartTest.scales['y-axis-0'].top + 10;
var sourceCtx = chartTest.chart.canvas.getContext('2d');
sourceCtx.clearRect(0, 0, copyWidth, copyHeight);
}
}
}
}
});

simple way to achieve this is
make the inner div width dynamically.
so enter image description herebased on the number of bars the width gets changed
