d3.js & nvd3.js — How to set y-axis range

Question

I\'m trying to set the y-axis range of the chart from 1-100.

Consulted the API documentation and found a possible solution with axis.tickValues as seen here https://

Answer 1

As the name should suggest, this adds the values in the array to your y domain, it does not set the y domain to [0,100]. So if you set this to [0,100] and your data's domain is -10 to 110, the domain will be [-10,110].

Now if you wanted the domain to be [0,100] even if your data is larger you can use chart.yDomain([0,100]) ... BUT usually you want your domain to include or your data, so I highly recommend using chart.forceY instead of chart.yDomain. As you'll see, one of the most common uses for forceY is forceY([0]) to make 0 always in the domain.

Hope that helps you understand what the function is actually doing, and arboc7, this should explain why it doesn't work in making the range smaller than the data set's.
