Remove or hide data labels / categories on x axis

    Hi ,

    First off, great plugin, really excellent work.

    I want to be able to produce a line graph to plot a year’s worth of data with daily granularity. If I put all of the dates in as labels, the x axis becomes illegible. I have tried to miss out some date labels to effectively try and just plot the month start date on the x-axis and have 12 labels but anything without a date label plots at the beginning of the x axis.

    Is there a way to plot a year’s worth of daily data but with a legible x axis?

    Thanks

    Hey energynerd,

    The ability to disable axis labels is on my list of things to do. If you want to just modify the plugin, you can open shortcode/init.php and go to line 207.

    It should say “show: true,”. Just change “true” to “false” (no tick marks).

    If that doesn’t work, let me know and I’ll find another solution.

    Thanks for coming back to me. I went to the shortcode/init.php and changed true to false in this section of the code:

    axes: {
    xaxis: $xAxis,
    yaxis:{
    renderer: jQuery.jqplot.LogAxisRenderer,
    tickRenderer: jQuery.jqplot.CanvasAxisTickRenderer,
    labelRenderer: jQuery.jqplot.CanvasAxisLabelRenderer,
    label: ‘$yAxisText’,
    labelOptions: {
    show: false,
    fontSize: ’14px’
    },
    tickOptions: {
    mark: false,
    labelPosition: ‘middle’,
    angle: -90
    }`

    But the x-axis is still visible? Any other ideas? Ideally I would still like the x axis to be visible but just show a smaller number of labels.

    OK, go ahead and undo that then.

    In that same file, look for line 74 which should look like this:

    $xAxis = “{
    label: ”,

    Go ahead and add this line:

    numberTicks: 20,

    So it looks like this:

    $xAxis = “{
    numberTicks: 20,
    label: ”,

    You can change “20” to anything you want. This should limit the number of ticks to something more reasonable.

    Let me know if that works for you.
