I'm trying to use ExtJS 4 to draw three points on a line chart but none of the points are displaying. I'm not getting any Javascript errors in the console. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
var chartArray = [ {"date1":"2012-01-22", "count":1}, {"date1":"2012-01-23", "count":2}, {"date1":"2012-01-24", "count":3} ]; Ext.onReady(function() { var store1 = new Ext.data.ArrayStore({ fields: [ {name: 'date1', type: 'date', dateFormat: 'Y-m-d'}, {name: 'count', type: 'data'} ], data: chartArray }); Ext.create('widget.panel', { width: 500, height: 400, renderTo: 'chart1', layout: 'fit', items: { xtype: 'chart', animate: true, store: store1, insetPadding: 30, legend: { position: 'bottom' }, axes: [ { type: 'Numeric', minimum: 0, maximum: 10, position: 'left', fields: ['date1'], title: false, grid: { stroke: '#0F0', fill: '#0F0', 'stroke-width': 5 }, label: { font: '10px Arial', fill: '#80858D', color: '#FFFFFF', renderer: function(val) { return val; } } }, { type: 'Category', position: 'bottom', color: '#FFFFFF', grid: false, fields: ['date1'], fill: '#0F0', title: 'Daily Count', label: { font: '11px Arial', color: '#FFFFFF', fill: '#80858D', rotate: {degrees: 315}, renderer: function(date) { console.log("Date: " + date); return date; } } } ], series: [ { type: 'line', axis: 'left', xField: 'date1', yField: 'count', style: { fill: '#f47d23', stroke: '#f47d23', 'stroke-width': 3 }, markerConfig: { type: 'circle', size: 2, radius: 2, 'stroke-width': 0, fill: '#38B8BF', stroke: '#38B8BF' } } ] } }); });
Here's the html without the ExtJS includes:
<!doctype html> <html> <head> <title>Line</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="line.js"></script> </head> <body> <div id="chart1"></div> </body> </html>
First of all, change your ArrayStore to JsonStore, and your code will work.
But anyway, I don't recommend using category or time axes in ExtJs4. Shame on Sencha, they still can't get it work stable. I spend about 2 weeks trying to implement simple line charts with a time X axis with no success.
Then I found here a solution - replace time/category axis with a numeric axis and then just load dates in a form of timestamps. You can always convert a timestamp into a date string (in labels and tips). I'm happy with this approach now, and the chart renders much faster!
Ext JS 4.0.7 has a problem with time axis. That might be the problem in your case. It's reported here. Maybe you should try with v4.0.2, just to see if it works...
