I'm currently evaluating jqChart and I'm impressed so far. Just a quick question:

Can a stacked column chart use a dateTime axis?

I need to graph a date interval (6 months), where only 40 days scattered throughout the interval have data.

A dateTime axis would really come in handy, so I would be able to render it, without manually generating all days as data points, but only those with data.

I've tried the following, but it doesn't quite work:

$('#jqChart').jqChart({
axes: [
{ type: 'linear', location: 'left' },
{ type: 'dateTime', location: 'bottom'}
],
series: [
{ type: 'stackedColumn', data: [ [new Date(2011, 1, 6), 5], [new Date(2011, 1, 7), 7], [new Date(2011, 1, 19), 9] ] },
]
});

Hi,

Unfortunately, currently jqChart doesn’t support stacked column on dateTime axis. It supports column chart on dateTime axis, but not stacked column. Stacked charts are usually used with category axis, because it is more clear, which exactly columns should be stacked.

Hi,

Has this been added yet as i am just trying and it doesn't appear t work still??

Was looking to use the 100% stacked along with the Grouped.

Since version 3.7.0.0 jqChart supports stacked column/bar chart on Linear or DateTime X-Axis.

Grouping is not available on Linear or DateTime X-Axis. It's available only on category. When the x-axis is linear or date time the bars or columns need to be placed on their exact positions. If we group them, it will appear that they have different x-values, which is not correct.
