works fine for me. Please stop and restart Node-RED and copy the startup log (up to where is says node red has started) and paste it to a reply.

what platform are you running NR on?

Thanx for your reply
I use armbian on Nanopi board

The code sees 1015-18:20 as a date and is showing you the epoch.

Try it in a node repl...

If you change the labels to something non date-like (e.g. "1015 T18:20") then this will not occur.

zenofmud · 16 January 2022 13:24

Steve, it's not the "1015-18:20" on the x-axis, it is the 30136871144000 at the point. Running the his flow I get this:

@avestan I'm running NR v2.1.5 and dashboard v3.1.3 so I would suggest by (1) update the dashboard and see what happens. the (2) update Node-RED and see what happens.

avestan · 16 January 2022 13:27

how can i set date with MMDD-HH:mm format?
I have X-axis Label correctly but same value at the point not true !

Steve-Mcl · 16 January 2022 13:28

Yes, I know.

Its partly down to the timezone of your server. For example, in GMT it interprets that value "1015-18:20" as a date - as shown below...

So the solution is to either make the X-Axis a string or make it a proper date.

avestan · 16 January 2022 13:32

How can do it ?

Steve-Mcl · 16 January 2022 13:37

Use a proper date or epoch for the x-axis data/labels then send a control message to the chart e.g...


msg.ui_control = {
    options: {
        scales: {
            xAxes: [{
                type: 'time',
                time: {
                    unit: 'day',
                    displayFormats: {
                        day: "MMDD-HH:mm"
                    }
                }
            }]
        }
    }
}

where the displayFormats are described here: Time Cartesian Axis | Chart.js

You can test this out live here: Edit fiddle - JSFiddle - Code Playground - try setting displayFormats to MMDD-HH:mm

zenofmud · 16 January 2022 13:40

Ohh, I thought the issue was with the value not the time. Now that I look closer I see the red oval covering up most of the T.37

avestan · 16 January 2022 14:02

Steve-Mcl:

msg.ui_control = {
    options: {
        scales: {
            xAxes: [{
                type: 'time',
                time: {
                    unit: 'day',
                    displayFormats: {
                        day: "MMDD-HH:mm"
                    }
                }
            }]
        }
    }
}

I change my data input format to proper date and use my chart x-axes to MMDD-HHmm

and it work correctly on point ! thanx

But now my x-axes show full date and time how can i change it to MMDD-HHmm format ?

Steve-Mcl · 16 January 2022 14:05

As I said, send a control message to the chart node.

Did you try the live demo?

avestan · 16 January 2022 14:24

I send it and it worked by Gregorian date correctly
as you see on last pic i send

Sorry, I didn't click the label you were using was a non Gregorian date - might have been helpful to include this info at the start.

For chart js, you can use a "date adaptor" as described here: Time · Chart.js documentation

Unfortunately, I've never done this. At a guess, you'd have to make moment or luxon available in the dashboard then setup the control message to use the data adaptor.

There are some posts around the Web. I suggest you search for "chart.js date adaptor luxon" - see if you can work it out.

Failing that, post a question in the issues in the chart.js repository.
