Perspective time series chart timeAxis label

Is there a way to customize the tick label on the timeAxis in Time Series chart, to show some custom generated values, instead of showing date/time values? (other than the date/time format)

It sounds as though you're trying to make a chart with categories on the X axis. The XY Chart component is the correct chart for that. The Time Series Chart component is for, ummmm, time series!

Set PROPS.xAxes.0.render : category and work from there.

I appreciate your effort to help; as you read and replied to my previous post, repeating here again, I do realize that XY chart is better suited, but the performance and rendering speed is not that great. This is a batch process, and x-axis is still of time nature, but instead of datetime I need to show hours elapsed from a reference time.
Any help from people with knowledge on this component and understanding of Batch process is greatly appreciated. @jball

Well then just subtract the batch start time from each of the time values in the time series chart data. Format the time axis in 'HH:mm'. It will then start at 00:00.

It does not. The way I have built it so far is to subtract the time and convert the delta to hours and set the format to X (fooling the chart to think the time is started from EPOCH zero). It’s acceptable, but the InfoBox loses the below 1 hour resolution. In addition, although the process spans over several days, but during the first few hours, tick labels do not appear properly, they read stl [0,0,0,1,1,1], although this last one is minor, I can script the count . Anyway, once again, thanks for the effort to help.

If your batches are less than 60 hours max you could try this hack:

  • Subtract the batch start time as I suggested and I think you are doing.
  • Divide the results by 60 to convert 08:10:30 to 00:08:10.
  • Use time format m:ss instead of h:mm.

I played around with it a bit and I think it could work.

AM Charts documentation doesn't seem to have a format for hours > 24.

Thanks, it’s the same principal, instead of spoofing the values to hours, converts to minutes. The m:ss was nice though, although unfortunately my batches are often above 175 hours long.
