UPDATE: Here's a jsfiddle that shows the problem: http://jsfiddle.net/pynju/1/
Click on the blue column on Monday. When the detail-view loads, notice that 01-07 have 3 columns (expected 2). Click on the tallest bar to go back to the original view. Notice that the labels on the xAxis aren't being removed.
===============
I have a bar chart that has 2 series, displayed as pairs of bars, side by side.
series: [{
showInLegend: false,
data: dowChartData
},{
showInLegend: false,
data: avgUserDowChartData
}],
.
dowChartData = [ {
y: 98.74,
color: '#0072ff',
drilldown: {
name: 'Category Engagement - Sunday',
categories: ['00','01','02','03','04','05','06','07','08','09','10','11','12','13','14','15','16','17','18','19','20','21','22','23'],
data: [0,637,0,0,0,173,48.54,48.54,0,0,0,0,0,0,102.24,166.36,706.59,699.18,298.32,184.14,97.08,1539,0,1224.56],
color: '#0072ff',
data2: [506.80686467275,354.56354558498,333.25158689567,234.19283190879,234.82132336088,220.03247578171,222.86420797556,218.14034615202,170.42559544164,171.54776353196,249.24788461442,345.14915669555,206.65543589797,243.38811965637,367.02593304906,378.83677778129,467.45739743621,424.26264387522,639.60922934374,679.71299714907,373.26353846375,480.94380626458,551.82326068362,466.77469230724],
color2: '#C00'
}
}

.
avgUserDowChartData = [ {
y: 142.35,
color: '#C00'
},
AND SIMILAR
The initial data is day of week data with the X-axis being: Sunday - Monday - Tues - Wed - Thurs - Fri - Saturday
The initial series has a drilldown element with a new data & data2 (see above)
Using the drilldown demo code as an example, I have this code in place:
column: {
borderWidth: 0,
cursor: 'pointer',
point: {
events: {
click: function(event) {
var drilldown = this.drilldown;
if (drilldown) { // drill down
setChart(dowChart, drilldown.name, drilldown.categories, drilldown.data, drilldown.color, drilldown.data2, drilldown.color2);
} else { // restore
setChart(dowChart, '', dowCategories, dowChartData);
}
}
}
},
Set chart handler:
function setChart(chart, name, categories, data, color, data2, color2) {
chart.xAxis[0].setCategories(categories);
// chart.series[0].remove();
for (var i = 0; i < chart.series.length; i++) {
chart.series[i].remove();
}
chart.addSeries({
showInLegend: false,
name: name,
data: data,
color: color || 'white'
});
if (typeof(data2) != undefined && data2.length > 0) {
chart.addSeries({
showInLegend: false,
name: name,
data: data2,
color: color2 || 'white'
});
}
}
The initial chart display perfectly fine:
When you click on any of the blue bars (the data set that has the drilldown), things get wonky for the first 7 x-axis items:
It's as if the initial data sets aren't being removed by the code:
for (var i = 0; i < chart.series.length; i++) {
chart.series[i].remove();
}
When you click on any of the bars with the intention of resetting to the original data set/series:
So... it's clear that the remove series code I'm using isn't working. What's the best way to completely remove the data on the chart and the 2 series I need to display each time depending on what is clicked?
try this to remove all chart series,
while(chart.series.length > 0)
chart.series[0].remove(true);
it works for me. the code
for (var i = 0; i < chart.series.length; i++)
won't work because the chart.series.length
is decreased each time remove()
is called. That way, the i
will never reach the expected length. Hope this helps.
