How to display a single data point on Google Area OR Line chart
there is a bug with the most recent version of google charts,
when the x-axis is a continuous axis (date, number, not string, etc.),
and only one row exists in the data table,
you must set an explicit view window on the axis --> hAxis.viewWindow
to use a date type with only one row,
first, use data table method --> getColumnRange
this will return an object with min
& max
properties for the x-axis
then we can increase the max
and decrease the min
by one day,
and use that for our view window.
see following working snippet...
google.charts.load('current', {
packages: ['corechart']
}).then(function () {
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
['Updated', 'Amount'],
[new Date(1548266417060.704),100]
]);
var oneDay = (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
var dateRange = data.getColumnRange(0);
if (data.getNumberOfRows() === 1) {
dateRange.min = new Date(dateRange.min.getTime() - oneDay);
dateRange.max = new Date(dateRange.max.getTime() + oneDay);
}
var options = {
title: 'Company Performance',
hAxis: {
title: 'Year',
titleTextStyle: {color: '#333'},
viewWindow: dateRange
},
pointSize: 5
};
var chart = new google.visualization.AreaChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
chart.draw(data, options);
});
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script>
<div id="chart_div"></div>
you'll notice if we go back to an old version ('45'
),
a single date row displays without issue...
google.charts.load('45', {
packages: ['corechart']
}).then(function () {
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
['Updated', 'Amount'],
[new Date(1548266417060.704),100]
]);
var options = {
title: 'Company Performance',
hAxis: {
title: 'Year',
titleTextStyle: {color: '#333'},
},
pointSize: 5
};
var chart = new google.visualization.AreaChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
chart.draw(data, options);
});
