highcharter hc_axis not working correctly

问题

Follow up on this post I am not able to get the x-axis labels in correct format using the code below.

hchart(visits, "column", x = as.Date(VisitDate), y = freq, group = Clinic) %>% 
   hc_xAxis(categories = allDates$VisitDate, title = list(text = 'Deadline'), type = 'datetime', dateTimeLabelFormats = list(month = "%b", year = "%y")) %>%
   hc_plotOptions(column = list(
     dataLabels = list(enabled = FALSE),
     stacking = "normal",
     enableMouseTracking = TRUE)
   )

The resulting chart below has labels all messed up.

Also is it possible to specify interval as in 1 month, 15 days etc.

回答1:

hchart(visits, "column", hcaes(x = VisitDate, y = freq, group = Clinic)) %>% 
hc_xAxis(categories = allDates$VisitDate, title = list(text = 'Deadline'), type = 'datetime', dateTimeLabelFormats = list(month = "%b", year = "%y")) %>%
hc_plotOptions(column = list(
  dataLabels = list(enabled = FALSE),
  stacking = "normal",
  enableMouseTracking = TRUE)
)

You need to add hcaes inside the hchart function. There are some nice examples here Highcharter page

Also Highchart prefer dates as timestamp to work the way you want, please check this answer plotband.

I hope this help you. Have a nice day

edit1:

With this code you can add the select range to date you want, however I think to this kind of data and chart it does not apply

hchart(visits, "column", hcaes(x = VisitDate, y = freq, group = Clinic))%>% 
hc_xAxis(categories = allDates$VisitDate, title = list(text = 'Deadline'), 
type = 'datetime', dateTimeLabelFormats = list(month = "%b", year = "%y")) 
 %>%
hc_plotOptions(column = list(
dataLabels = list(enabled = FALSE),
stacking = "normal",
enableMouseTracking = TRUE)
 ) %>%
hc_rangeSelector(enabled = TRUE, buttons = list(
list(type = "all", text = "All"),
list(type = "month", count = 1, text = "1m"),
list(type = "day", count = 15, text = "15d"),
list(type = "day", count = 1, text = "1d")

), selected = 3)
