Question

I’m using jqplot to draw a simple bar chart however only half of the first and last bar are being rendered.
here is the image

Is there a way to make the chart fit inside??

Thanks

UPDATE
On xAxis I’m using dateAxisRenderer as a renderer.

Answer 1

Under the axes: { xaxis: { } } options I would try using the:

min: null,      // minimum numerical value of the axis.  Determined automatically.
max: null,      // maximum numverical value of the axis.  Determined automatically.
pad: 1.2,       // a factor multiplied by the data range on the axis to give the
                // axis range so that data points don't fall on the edges of the axis.

options. Bump of the pad first, if that doesn’t work, you should try setting min and max values slightly larger than your data range.

I think you’ll find it much easier to work with dates if you go with the javascript standard of number of milliseconds since 1970/01/01. This is why you get an error using min/max as strings. Specify it like this:

min: 1325376000 * 1000, // 2012/01/01 00:00:00
max: 1326715140 * 1000  // 2012/01/16 11:59:00

Using this min/max:

The next hurdle is that your dates do not have times. JQPlot is taking these to be the very first minute of that day, so they line up with the label accordingly. If you want them to center align you’ll need to specify a 12:00pm time. Again you can parse that from the string, but I would switch over to milliseconds.
