Change the Y-axis values from real numbers to integers in Chart.js
I handled it this way in new version:
new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: chartData,
options: {
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true,
callback: function(value) {if (value % 1 === 0) {return value;}}
}
}]
}
}
});
Try this, where max is the highest value of your data.
var steps = 3;
new Chart(ctx).Bar(plotData, {
scaleOverride: true,
scaleSteps: steps,
scaleStepWidth: Math.ceil(max / steps),
scaleStartValue: 0
});
I wasn't able to get the existing answers to work for me when using the new version 2 of Chart.js, so here's what I found to solve this problem in V2:
new Chart(ctx, {type: 'bar', data: barChartData,
options:{
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
stepSize: 1
}
}]
}
}
});
I know this is an old question now, but in the current version (v2.9.3) you can just set the precision of the y-axis ticks to zero to get integers:
options: {
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
precision: 0
}
}]
}
}
