Hello,

I'm encountering an issue when plotting data in an XY chart using perspective. Despite working with a relatively small dataset (30 rows and 4 columns fetched from the database using a query), I receive the following error in the graph: **"Maximum call stack size exceeded."**  
Is there a way to avoid having that problem (such as increasing resources or optimizing somehow the graph)? Thank you for the help, I attach the error I get.

Just to get a better picture, how are you plotting this data? Is it a binding or is it populated via Scripting?

I am plotting the data using a binding in the "key" of the "dataSources" in the XY graph properties, where I refer to a Named Query that performs a SELECT statement to the database, with some parameters to filter the results I want to show.

Okay! From what limited information I know about JavaScript, this error occurs when there are too many nested function calls, causing the stack to exceed the limits.

Try using a LIMIT in your SQL statement (just in case more data is being returned than you thought). Also, someone has previously had this issue and fixed it by:

> [@\[XY Chart\] Maximum call stack size exceeded](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/xy-chart-maximum-call-stack-size-exceeded/75696/2):
>
> only return the events every 5 min, considering that each entry will represent the average data for the last 5 minute

or

> [@\[XY Chart\] Maximum call stack size exceeded](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/xy-chart-maximum-call-stack-size-exceeded/75696/2):
>
> or only keep in "decadrages" table the events which correspond to a minute when something happens on an other table called "headtem

Hopefully there is a solution in here that will work for you! If not then I'd recommend waiting for someone from IA to reply back with their thoughts.
