I am using nvd3.js and multiBarHorizontal http://nvd3.org/ghpages/multiBarHorizontal.html
I want to change the bars' reference on the x-axis to another value ,
for instance a value of 10 should be represented 10 out of 50.
value ----------
x-axis --------------------------------------------------
I really don't know where to start from.
If I understood your question properly you are looking at something like this I suppose -
chart.xAxis.tickFormat(function(d) {
return d + '/50'
});
Hope it helps.

Good Evening Everyone,
I'm trying to take the data from a database full of hour reports (name, timestamp, hours worked, etc.) and create a plot using dc.js to visualize the data. I would like the timestamp to be on the x-axis, the sum of hours for the particular timestamp on the y-axis, and a new bar graph for each unique name all on the same chart.
It appears based on my objectives that using crossfilter.js the timestamp should be my 'dimension' and then the sum of hours should be my 'group'.
Question 1, how would I then use the dimension and group to further split the data based on the person's name and then create a bar graph to add to my composite graph? I would like for the crossfilter.js functionality to remain intact so that if I add a date range tool or some other user controllable filter, everything updates accordingly.
Question 2, my timestamps are in MySQL datetime format: YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS so how would I go about dropping precision? For instance, if I want to combine all entries from the same day into one entry (day precision) or combine all entries in one month into a single entry (month precision).
Thanks in advance!

To further clarify, I'm referencing the Crossfilter & DC APIs alongside the DC NASDAQ and Composite examples. The Composite example has shown me how to place multiple line/bar charts on a single graph. On the composite chart I've created, each of the bar charts I've added a dimension based off of the timestamps in the data-set. Now I'm trying to figure out how to define the groups for each. I want each bar chart to represent the total time worked per timestamp.
For example, I have five people in my database, so I want there to be five bar charts within the single composite chart. Today all five submitted reports saying they worked 8 hours, so now all five bar charts should show a mark at 01/28/2017 on the x-axis and 8 hours on the y-axis.
var parseDate = d3.time.format('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S').parse;
data.forEach(function(d) {
d.timestamp = parseDate(d.timestamp);
});
var ndx = crossfilter(data);
var writtenDimension = ndx.dimension(function(d) {
return d.timestamp;
});
var hoursSumGroup = writtenDimension.group().reduceSum(function(d) {
return d.time_total;
});
var minDate = parseDate('2017-01-01 00:00:00');
var maxDate = parseDate('2017-01-31 23:59:59');
var mybarChart = dc.compositeChart("#my_chart");
mybarChart
.width(window.innerWidth)
.height(480)
.x(d3.time.scale().domain([minDate,maxDate]))
.brushOn(false)
.clipPadding(10)
.yAxisLabel("This is the Y Axis!")
.compose([
dc.barChart(mybarChart)
.dimension(writtenDimension)
.colors('red')
.group(hoursSumGroup, "Top Line")
]);
So based on what I have right now and the example I've provided, in the compose section I should have 5 charts because there are 5 people (obviously this needs to be dynamic in the end) and each of those charts should only show the timestamp: total_time data for that person.
At this point I don't know how to further breakup the group hoursSumGroup based on each person and this is where my Question #1 comes in and I need help figuring out.
Question #2 above is that I want to make sure that the code is both dynamic (more people can be handled without code change), when minDate and maxDate are later tied to user input fields, the charts update automatically (I assume through adjusting the dimension variable in some way), and if I add a names filter that if I unselect names that the chart will update by removing the data for that person.
A Question #3 that I'm now realizing I'll want to figure out is how to get the person's name to show up in the pointer tooltip (the title) along with timestamp and total_time values.
There are a number of ways to go about this, but I think the easiest thing to do is to create a custom reduction which reduces each person into a sub-bin.
First off, addressing question #2, you'll want to set up your dimension based on the time interval you're interested in. For instance, if you're looking at days:
var writtenDimension = ndx.dimension(function(d) {
return d3.time.hour(d.timestamp);
});
chart.xUnits(d3.time.hours);
This will cause each timestamp to be rounded down to the nearest hour, and tell the chart to calculate the bar width accordingly.
Next, here's a custom reduction (from the FAQ) which will create an object for each reduced value, with values for each person's name:
var hoursSumGroup = writtenDimension.group().reduce(
function(p, v) { // add
p[v.name] = (p[v.name] || 0) + d.time_total;
return p;
},
function(p, v) { // remove
p[v.name] -= d.time_total;
return p;
},
function() { // init
return {};
});
I did not go with the series example I mentioned in the comments, because I think composite keys can be difficult to deal with. That's another option, and I'll expand my answer if that's necessary.
Next, we can feed the composite line charts with value accessors that can fetch the value by name.
Assume we have an array names.
compositeChart.shareTitle(false);
compositeChart.compose(
names.map(function(name) {
return dc.lineChart(compositeChart)
.dimension(writtenDimension)
.colors('red')
.group(hoursSumGroup)
.valueAccessor(function(kv) {
return kv.value[name];
})
.title(function(kv) {
return name + ' ' + kv.key + ': ' + kv.value;
});
}));
Again, it wouldn't make sense to use bar charts here, because they would obscure each other.
If you filter a name elsewhere, it will cause the line for the name to drop to zero. Having the line disappear entirely would probably not be so simple.
The above shareTitle(false) ensures that the child charts will draw their own titles; the title functions just add the current name to those titles (which would usually just be key:value).
I am stuck on a problem here. Could be simple though but i am having a tough time figuring it out. I want to show multiple lines on a dc composite chart.
My data is like this:
{ Name: Mike, mark1: 26.9, mark2: 62.3 },
{ Name: John, mark1: 23.5, mark2: 60.3 },
{ Name: Firen, mark1: 24.3, mark2: 62.5 }
I need the name plotted against X axis and mark1 and mark2 plotted as lines against the Y axis. I found a fiddle here which uses a linear scale to achieve the same result. http://jsfiddle.net/anmolkoul/mzx6mnru/3/
But it uses a linear scale as the base dimension is numerical. My base dimension is a string and hence not working with the same code. I figured it is due to the scale definition that i am using. Here is the fiddle that i need help with: http://jsfiddle.net/anmolkoul/pjLoh1az/1/
I have currently defined my x axis as
.x(d3.scale.ordinal().domain(nameDimension))
.xUnits(dc.units.ordinal)
I think this is where it is going wrong. I have two supplementary questions as well:
Once this is done, how to assign different colors to the lines ( it should reflect in the legend as well)
I was taking a look at the dc.js series chart, what does this line of code do?
runDimension = ndx.dimension(function(d) {return [+d.Expt, +d.Run]; });
Does it pivot the two dimensions? or is it just a quicker way of creating two crossfilter dimensions.
Thank you for the help!`
You can get the ordinal values with :
nameDimension.top(Infinity).map(function(d) {return d.Name}))
which returns ["Mike", "John", "Firen"] , then use it for the ordinal domain.
But it's not necessary, it's calculated automatically :
.x(d3.scale.ordinal())
.xUnits(dc.units.ordinal)
For colors, you can use :
dc.lineChart(lineChart1).group(mark1Group,"Mark 1").colors("#FF0000")
Here is a fiddle with those modifications : http://jsfiddle.net/1exo25u9/
Sorry for this silly question, but I am lost and hope any other expert can help me.
I need to draw a bar chart, but the x axis is NOT time series, it is discrete values.
var ndx = crossfilter( self.getStatus( contracts ));
var skuDim = ndx.dimension( function(d){
return d.sku;
});
var skuDimCount = skuDim.group().reduceCount();
var chartLineContractSku= dc.barChart("#chart-line-contract-sku");
chartLineContractSku
.width(500)
.height(200)
.dimension(skuDim)
.group(skuDimCount)
.x(d3.scale.linear().domain(skus))
.legend(dc.legend());
the skus is:
array of sku:
["PAR-ND-SRX1-SPCNPC", "SVC-ND-M10i", "SVC-CP-SRX3400", "SVC-ND-SRX3400", "SVC-ND-SRX3-IOC", "SVC-CP-SRX3-IOC", "SVC-CP-SRX3-NPC", "SVC-3-ND-SRX3-IOC", "SVC-CP-SRX3-SPC", "SVC-ND-SRX3-SPC"]
which is used to group dimension the input data.
But the output graph is always empty.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this? And how to generate the barChart with discrete value? Also, another question is how to make the label vertical? as we have quite a lot skus.
Thanks
Gordon is correct in saying that you should use ordinal scale to get your desired result. Replace your d3.scale.linear code with
x(d3.scale.ordinal().domain(skus))
Look at this as an example

I'm using nvd3 and have a few charts where the legend is much to large. E.g. a scatter/bubble with 15 groups and the group names are long. The legend is so large that it leaves almost no room for the chart itself.
Is there a way to remove the legend or toggle the legend or limit the height/width it is taking up? Any example would be great.
Also, is there a way to have the bubble show a descriptive string? Right now when you stand on top of a bubble it highlights the x/y coordinates. I also want it to show the bubble name.
For example, each of my bubbles represents a country (which has a name), the x is GDP and the y is debt. The group is a classification/not name.
.showLegend(false) will help you. Here is an example -
chart = nv.models.multiBarHorizontalChart().x(function(d) {
return d.x
}).y(function(d) {
return d.y
}).showLegend(false);
I'm trying to make an chart using the default line plus bar chart, but I want to use two or more streams in the bars, is it possible?
Currently, when I try to do this, I got some trouble with the effects of the chart, and so I can't show properly the hover balloon of the bars, he always display the data of just one of the streams. But the main problem is the dates of x axis, displaying 1970's dates, when I remove the second stream of bars, the dates display well:
Anyone already tried to do this kind of chart successfully?
EDIT
Adding Fiddles:
Fiddle with two columns stream and messy dates
Fiddle with just one column stream and ok dates
I'm calling this kind of graph:
linePlusBarChart()
The problem with the dates is that your data contains timestamps (i.e. in seconds), but Javascript expects milliseconds. This is easily fixed by multiplying the values by 1000:
series.values = series.values.map(function (d) {
return {
x: d[0]*1000,
y: d[1]
}
});
The tooltip problem is actually a bug in NVD3 -- it's not meant to be used this way. The problem boils down to the mouseover handler assuming that the first item of the data is representative of what you want. You can fix this for your case by selecting the item by data point number modulo 2 (because there're two bars):
.on('mouseover', function(d,i) {
d3.select(this).classed('hover', true);
dispatch.elementMouseover({
point: d,
series: data[i%2],
pos: [x(getX(d,i)), y(getY(d,i))],
pointIndex: i,
seriesIndex: i%2,
e: d3.event
});
})
This will only work for exactly two bar series though. Updated jsfiddle with the modified NVD3 code here.
