Chart.js - Category Axis
Chart.js - Category Axis
Axes are an integral part of any chart or graph. Like Cartesian axes, category axes are also an essential part of a chart.
The syntax of defining category axes globally is given below −
let chart = new Chart(ctx, { type: ... data: { labels: [ January , February , March , April , May , June ], datasets: ... } });
We can define category axes as a part of axis as follows −
let chart = new Chart(ctx, { type: ... data: ... options: { scales: { x: { type: category , labels: [ January , February , March , April , May , June ] } } } });
Example
Let’s take an example in which we will use category axes for creating a chart −
<!DOCTYPE> <html> <head> <meta charset- "UTF-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" /> <title>chart.js</title> </head> <body> <canvas id="chartId" aria-label="chart" height="300" width="580"></canvas> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/pbs/Chart.js/3.1.1/chart.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/pbs/Chart.js/3.1.1/helpers.esm.min.js"></script> <script> var chrt = document.getElementById("chartId").getContext("2d"); var chartId = new Chart(chrt, { type: bar , data: { labels: ["HTML", "CSS", "JAVASCRIPT", "CHART.JS", "JQUERY", "BOOTSTRP"], datasets: [{ label: "onpne tutorial subjects", data: [20, 40, 30, 35, 30, 20], backgroundColor: [ yellow , aqua , pink , pghtgreen , pghtblue , gold ], borderColor: [ black ], borderWidth: 1, pointRadius: 4, }], }, options: { responsive: false, scales: { x: { min: CSS , max: JQUERY } } }, }); </script> </body> </html>
