DateTime chart ?

[bidasknakayama]

To make a chart ( X: time 9:50 , 9:51, 9:52 , 9:54, 9.58....... ) , ( Y: value , 0,1,2,3,4 .. )
Is it possible ?

Hello, at the moment values are needed and equitably distributed.

Not ideal, but you could do this :

var entries = new Entry []
{
    new Entry(0) { Label = "9:50" },
    new Entry(1) { Label = "9:51" },
    new Entry(2) { Label = "9:52" },
    new Entry(2) { Label = "9:53" },
    new Entry(3) { Label = "9:54" },
    new Entry(3) { Label = "9:55" },
    new Entry(3) { Label = "9:56" },
    new Entry(3) { Label = "9:57" },
    new Entry(4) { Label = "9:58" },
};

I'll see if I could add this feature in next versions.

Would also be interested in something like this, or a step chart.

I ran into this problem immediately when I started using Microcharts a few years ago. I am back now looking to use it again, and I see this still hasn't been solved. This is a very painful missing feature as I have data that doesn't occur on a regular interval, and adding "dummy" values in-between real values introduces its own problems.

I do accept pull requests if someone wanted to implement such a chart.

[Seuleuzeuh]

I can make a PR for it. How did you imagine the features ?
I'm thinking to do it white a specialized ChartSerie with step settings (range, step size) who is responsible to generate the according label. Based (I think) on numeric (float) and another one on Date maybe ?

[eman1986]

That sounds good to me

@Seuleuzeuh do you have something available or work-in-progress in some fork?

[eman1986]

I think he needs more details about the feature first, it should be something that's not just for one type of chart, if we can make them repostable that'll be best.

[Seuleuzeuh]

I will made some API spec before starting an implementation, I will try to do this spec this week, and if it fit the needs I'll start the implementation.
I already have an idea of an implementation, and it's something that can be done quickly.

[gsgou]

Thanks will be a useful feature addition.

[gsgou]

@Seuleuzeuh are there any chances to have the spec ready the next few days? Will you need support in the Implementation?

[Seuleuzeuh]

@gsgou i've made a first draft of the API Spec. Can you take a look at #250 and give feedback ?
Yes, any help in the implementation will be very great.
