Programmatically highlight marker on Kendo bar chart - kendo-ui

I think what I am asking is impossible, or at least so complex/hacky it would not be worth it-but in case I am wrong...please let me know.
I have a series of 4 kendo dataviz bar charts, each representing the same set of objects, each chart graphically displaying one property of the objects. What I would like is if a marker on one chart is clicked (so that object is "selected"), to highlight this object's marker on the other 3 charts. See pic for example:
I have looked through the Kendo Dataviz website/docs, inspected the SVG markup, and looked through the object returned on the series click (in Visual Studio), but haven't found anything that could be used to accomplish this. The one thing I have come up with is redrawing all the charts with the selected item "marked" within the data array so when it is redrawn, that item can be redrawn with a different color...but I'd like to avoid redrawing all the charts each time, if possible.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate ideas, the least complex the better. Thanks so much!

The closest way I know of achieving this without a redraw would be to use the axis selection property as a selection slider with a restricted width to one column range and prevent resizing. This would simulate a selection highlight without redrawing.

You can also use plotBands property on the CategoryAxis. This is how I am doing it:
$("#chart").data("kendoChart").setOptions({ categoryAxis: { plotBands: [{ from: index, to: index + 1, color: "#ffd0c0", opacity: 0.4 }] } });

How to make a tooltip for a chart in d3?

We need to make it move like here.example The code is complex there, I can't figure it out.
I wrote the code my code, but I don’t understand how to make the tooltip move horizontally not behind the mouse, but near the nearest horizontal mark (as in the example)
It is not yet clear where the text above the bold text in the tooltip comes from. How to remove it so that it looks like in the picture?
How do I make the title of the tooltip match the label on the X-axis?
There are many ways to accomplish this. The way I typically do this is to create a series of SVG elements -- such as circles or rects -- using the same scale and data as the paths.
You can make these objects visible or invisible. Either way, you can attach mouseenter, mouseleave events to each to render and populate the tooltip.

dc.js animated selection along x-axis

I'd like to have dc.js chart which slides along a selection, e.g. in the Nasdaq example https://dc-js.github.io/dc.js/ you would select a sub-selection of time then click "animate" button and the selection filter would slide along the x-axis at a pre-determined step size.
I'm a bit lost as to where one would start...does anyone have any ideas?
Most of what you need to do is set the current filter on the relevant chart based on a timer, instead of based on user interaction.
I've copied the relevant parts of the Nasdaq example into a fiddle to illustrate this: https://jsfiddle.net/0zkbyyqu/9/
Once the charts are in place, the animation is just a matter of changing the filter based on a setInterval. For obscure reasons, we want to use the focus method of the moveChart, not the filter method, but it's essentially doing the same thing, with a little more code to reflect the changes in the range chart:
var beginYear = 1985;
window.setInterval(function() {
moveChart.focus([
new Date(beginYear, 0,0,0,0,0,0),
new Date(beginYear+3, 0,0,0,0,0,0)]);
if(++beginYear > 2009)
beginYear = 1985;
}, 1000);
(If you were using the filter method, you'd have to construct a dc.filters.RangedFilter, as detailed here: Initial Range selection in DC.js chart)
I have left off your idea about the initial selection of the range coming from the user, and just gone with a range of 3 years. This example just starts animating as soon as it is loaded. You can fetch the current filter using chart.filter(); the result will be a RangedFilter, which is an array of two dates. Hopefully it is clear how to add start/stop buttons to the animation.
A couple of things are tricky about this approach:
It's tricky using a chart with transitions when you also have a timer or streaming data. In this case, I had to reduce the transitionDuration to 500ms for it to make any sense, but the cause-and-effect is still a little confusing. Not sure what to do about this.
The area chart transitions are incorrect so you get some weird artifacts.

dimple.js: Tool-tip placement in a chart of a nested svg element

I am trying to modify Bullet Charts example of dimple.js with each bullet chart being in a child-svg of the parent-svg. Purpose of having individual svg for each bullet chart is to make their management (show/hide/remove) easier. Also, this makes the recursive definition of a chart complete - That is, a chart is contained by an svg.
The fiddle for the modified version is here....
As you can see, from 2nd chart onwards, on mouse hover, tool tips go out of place!!! Please note that, for child-svg, I've set the style overflow: visible without which tool-tips were not visible at all.
Want to know if I am missing anything in handling the attributes of child-svg elements or is it a bug in dimple.js. Also, please let me know if you know of any workaround.
Thanks.
One of the first questions I have is why do you want child svg elements? What are you trying to accomplish?
The only difference I see in your code and the example is the height / width swap at the top and the sub svg + bounds.
Keep in mind that the origin changes with each sub-svg. This might be why you are having trouble with the tool-tips. Maybe you have that worked into your add-bullet calls.
I think nagu has the right approach here if you really want separate svg elements.

Changing kendo chart type fades color when Area chart type is also included

I want to change the kendo chart type dynamically. I am referring to http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/chart-api/index link. I made a change in this code and added one more chart type "area" along with other three chart types. But I see a weird behavior. After clicking on "Area" chart type option the color of the chart gets faded. Then if I click on any other chart type also, the color looks faded. But if I don't click on Area chart type option then color is intact. This happens for all the color themes. Anyone aware of any reasoning or solution for this behavior.
Thanks in Advance.
I saw this issue specifically when changing from the "pie" type to the "area" type. The issue ended up being that my datasource had a two series in it when I was rendering the pie chart, and when I changed to the area chart the pie chart had corrupted the chart config a bit. I modified my code to ensure that the pie chart always has a single series of data, and instead of calling "redraw", I called "refresh" when I changed the chart types.

dc.js - add scroll bar or zoom to bar chart - items not dates

I have some barcharts, which all look great while there are only up to about 50 items to display, however the items bars are getting too small to click on when the number items get up towards 100.
I would like to fix the width of the items bars and then maybe scroll the bar chart if the number of items goes over 75, or would it be better to use some kind of zoom function?
I've looked at the Nasdaq 100 example but unsure how to apply this to items rather than dates? I'm struggling to find any examples to investigate. I saw this post but cannot comment How to make graphs in dc.js scrollable within a fixed dimension div?
Any help much appreciated!
Add this to your bar chart:
.mouseZoomable(true)
The documentation for this can be found here: https://github.com/dc-js/dc.js/blob/master/web/docs/api-1.6.0.md#coordinate-grid-chart
