ExtJS 4 Chart - Change axes, series, and store - extjs

I have a chart that will show energy generation over a day, month, or year, depending on the user's selection. To do this on a single chart, I need to be able to change the axes, series, and store when a button is clicked. I have managed to get this working, except I have the issue of the old data, series, and axes are still showing, and the new ones are just being laid on top. Is there a way to clear or refresh/redraw a chart? Or should I just split this into 3 charts, and hide/show the charts on button click?
Here is my current code for setting axes, series and store on the fly.
chart.axes.clear();
chart.axes.addAll(dailyAxes);
chart.series.clear();
chart.series.addAll(dailySeries);
chart.bindStore(Ext.data.StoreManager.lookup('dailyEnergy'));

A little late, but what's missing is this:
chart.surface.removeAll()
This isn't ideal, as you may get a flash of empty space as it destroys the previous elements, but it does avoid the hangover of old data.

i dont know what type of chart or what is dailyAxes
but i assume u want to change axes properties..hee is an example on how to do it:
Ext.getCmp('chartid').axes.get("gauge").maximum = 100;
then u need to redraw the chart after ur done:
Ext.getCmp('chartid').redraw();

SSRS bar chart issue

I am trying to add one box and one line on x-axis. Please look at below bar chart.
I tried using stripline but I cannot set height for stripline. It goes till 100.
Is there any way I can do this?
Unfortunately, SSRS doesn't provide the functionality you're looking for. A stripline is the closest you can get to that, but like you said, you can't control its height. The only way you could simulate this behavior would be to use a Background Image for your stripline, but that may be more work than it's worth. It would require a lot of manual adjustment to get the image to line up on the chart.
I would add a series to the chart using the Stock chart (under Range). In the Series Properties I would set the High value to the height desired for your line (~52 in your example). Ideally this would come from a dataset value.
Set the Low, Open and Close values to 0.
Try two Stripe Lines. First, create the strip line which represents the vertical value you're after. In my case, I made one that was 50% of the graph height off of the Y-Axis.
Chart Properties:
Height of StripeLine:
Once the stripe line is the correct height for the chart, create a 'mask' stripe line along the X-axis that will cover the portion of the Y-axis line you want hidden.
Chart Propterites:
Width of Stripe Mask:
Using these methods, and some really clever expression writing, you should be able to make the line exactly as high, and as wide as you desire.

How to set telerik chart TrackBall position programatically

I have created a custom control which has Telerik RadCartesianChart. This custom control creates any number of charts based on user dropdown selection. The number of charts on screen can vary but all have same x axis. I added a chart track ball line on custom control which is working fine on one chart on mouse movement. I want to add the same track ball line on all of the other chart on window so that movement on one track ball would reflect the same position on the other charts.
How could I implement this behavior programmatically?
I don't know if you can do what you are attempting without adding a ChartTrackBallController to every chart.
What I'd suggest is adding multiple series to the one chart, share the X axis but have multiple Y axes as required. This way the ChartTrackBallController will pick a point on all series in the chart.
// Trackball
ChartTrackballController ctbcMain = new ChartTrackballController();
ctbcMain.TextNeeded += ctbcMain_TextNeeded;
ctbcMain.InnerPointSize = new SizeF(0, 0);
ctbcMain.OuterPointsSize = new SizeF(0, 0);
rcvUPM.Controllers.Add(ctbcMain);
rcvUPM.ShowTrackBall = true;
In the above code snippit, rcvUPM is a radchartview containing all the data series you want to show, and ctbcMain_TextNeeded is used to customise the content of what the hover for the trackball shows.
It seems that by default the hover content will contain multiple points from each series, even after the InnerPointSize and OuterPointsSize was set to zero on advice by Telerik support a LINQ FirstOrDefault was needed on the collection of DataPointInfo objects to limit it to one point per series.

How to create a chart that shows timeline against months in Qlikview?

I need a quick help my requirements are a bit complex. I need to show multiple timelines against months accordingly. Such that on the left side i have all the Products and in the chart i want to show Dates on a time line and bottom line represents months.
So i need to display multiple time lines against all those products according to months i am attaching an image of requirements.
I just need to know whether this kind of report is possible in QlikView.
We are already using QlikView for our project and have developed many reports but not kind of this report.
Please provide your input whether this kind of report is possible in QlikView and if you can provide an example and some explanation of controls that would be helpful.
Thanks
I found this helpful when i made a similar type of project chart.
Here is an example .qvw also
To be able to create this chart, you need some type of event in the data model, where each event has a start date (or time) and possibly also an end date. Further, an event should belong to some grouping, typically a project or a phase in time.
Given the above, we can now start making the graph:
Create a bar chart with the appropriate event grouping as dimension (e.g., project, phase, or other group of events)
Add the duration of the project as expression: Max(EndDate)-Min(StartDate). If you only have one date per event, you just replace both StartDate and EndDate with the date that you have. The duration will then be the time between the first event and the last.
Add the start of the project as an offset to the bars: Min(StartDate). [Chart Properties-Expressions-The plus sign to the left of the Expression-Bar Offset]
Set the graph orientation to horizontal bars. [Chart Properties-Style-Orientation]
Remove the “Force 0” option. This option will force the start of the time axis to be Dec 30th 1899. [ChartProperties-Axes-Expression Axes-Force 0]
Format the expression axis labels as dates or as months (e.g. M/D/YY or YYYY MMM). [Chart Properties-Number-Date]
Now you should have a Gantt chart. If you want to improve the way it looks, you may want to consider the following suggestions:
Add a grid. [Chart Properties-Axes-Expression Axes-Show grid]
If you want a label on each bar, add a second expression defining the text for the label and use this as “Value on Data Points.” [Chart Properties-Expressions-Display Options] Don’t forget to disable the “Bar” option for this expression. This is the first check box in the Display Options group.
If the chart shows a range which is too large, add static min and static max to define the display range of the expression, e.g. Min(StartDate)-5 and Max(EndDate)+40, respectively. The additional distance on the upper limit is to leave space for the text. The unit is number of days. [Chart Properties-Axes-Scale]
If you have a second dimension, you can add this too. But if you do, make sure you use the “Grouped” option and not “Stacked.” The latter does not work well with bar offsets. [Chart Properties-Style-Subtype]
You may want to use the same color within each value of the first dimension, e.g., one color per project. One good way to define the color (e.g. RGB values) is to do it already in the dimension table in the script and use this color in a color function in the bar background color, e.g. RGB (ProjR,ProjG,ProjB).

Sencha Charts Extending Columns outside of the view port

I'm working on getting familiar with Sencha charts. I'd like to know if there is any way that I can extend a column outside of the view port. For example I have data for which I have the min, first quartile, third quartile, and max for and I make a stacked chart out of these. However the max contains several outliers that probably won't be relevant to the user. What I want to do is end the view after the third quartile somewhere. Is there a simple and easy way to accomplish this?
You would have to work out the algorithm to get the percentage of records that go beyond your third quartile. That shouldn't be too hard.
Then create a function that set's the chart's width to a size which is equal to:
[viewport width] * (1 + [the percentage])
You can use the chart's setWidth method for this.
You can call this function in the chart's beforerefresh event (it should fire after the chart store data is loaded but before it is rendered on the chart) and also in the viewport's resize event.

Silverlight toolkit chart too many labels on axis

I'm using the newest chart control from silverlight toolkit to plot some data. For small cases it works ok, but for bigger samples the X axis labels overlap. It would be no problem if the chart would simply omit some of the values or I could specify to just show every 10th of them ...
I couldn't find any properties providing this behavior. Any ideas?
Assuming this is a Linear axis then you can specify the interval to use via the the Interval property on the axis.
If the axis in question is Category Axis then dropping some labels may not be valuable to the user. One option is to use the LayoutTransfomer to rotate the labels to an angle reducing the width needed for each one. See this Delay Blog on the subject.
