I am using Chart.js to generate a horizontal stacked bar chart. The chart currently looks like this:
This chart shows the user after how many years they should restorate a specific component of a house. I am trying to change this to in which year the user should do the restoration. Adding the current year to the values results to the following:
This is pretty much what I need if I could set the starting value of the x-axis to the current year. I tried to do this setting the minimum value like this:
options: {
scales: {
xAxes: [{
ticks: {
min: 2017
},
...
Unfortunatly results in not displaying the datasets at all like this:
I tried all combinations with adding the current year and setting the minimum values but nothing results in a useful chart.
In the following you can see my current source code:
var mainChart_ctx = document.getElementById("main_chart").getContext("2d");
var mainChart_config = {
type: 'horizontalBar',
data: {
labels: ['Kellerdecke', 'Fenster', 'Außenwand', 'Erdberührter Boden', 'Dach'],
datasets: [{
label: 'Beginn ab heute',
backgroundColor: 'transparent',
data: [4, 21, 25, 25, 25],
borderColor: '#666',
borderWidth: 1
},
{
label: 'Sanierungsdauer',
backgroundColor: '#ffcc00',
data: [2, 5, 5, 5, 5],
borderColor: '#666',
borderWidth: 1
},
{
label: 'Mittlere Restlebensdauer',
backgroundColor: 'orange',
data: [39, 0, 38, 51, 37],
borderColor: '#666',
borderWidth: 1
},
{
label: 'Maximale Restlebensdauer',
backgroundColor: 'orangered',
data: [20, 0, 0, 0, 0],
borderColor: '#666',
borderWidth: 1
}
]
},
options: {
tooltips: {
enabled: true
},
legend: {
display: false
},
title: {
display: true,
text: 'Sanierungsfahrplan',
fontSize: 24
},
scales: {
xAxes: [{
ticks: {
min: 0 /* Todo: change to current year? */
},
stacked: true,
scaleLabel: {
display: true,
labelString: 'Jahre',
fontSize: 16
}
}],
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
stepSize: 10
},
stacked: false,
scaleLabel: {
display: true,
labelString: 'Bauteil',
fontSize: 16
},
}]
}
}
};
mainChart = new Chart(mainChart_ctx, mainChart_config)

in your snippet, something ugly happens. It seems like a bug of the stacked bar chart. You could report this at github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/issues. – xnakos
