I\'m not sure if this is possible and no luck on researching this. I\'m working on a dashboard using DC.js charts and crossfilter.js. I\'m going to use a Row chart as an example
I'm using this on the rowcharts where I need this feature.
It's a little bit shorter than the other answer, maybe it can be useful to someone (I don't know which is better).
// select only one category at a time
mychart.onClick = function(_chart){ return function (d) {
var filter = _chart.keyAccessor()(d);
dc.events.trigger(function () {
_chart.filter(null);
_chart.filter(filter);
_chart.redrawGroup();
});
}; }(mychart)
Where mychart is the name of your dc.rowchart
var mychart = dc.rowChart('#mychart');
[EDIT]
This one works too, is shorter, and works with barcharts
mychart.addFilterHandler(function (filters, filter) {
filters.length = 0; // empty the array
filters.push(filter);
return filters;
});
