Floating bar chart and support on time scale?

[stockiNail]

I'm doing some tests on floating bar charts and I have got some problems to use floating bar and time scale.

I prepared my dataset with the datapoints (see below) but the chart doesn't show the dataset.

datasets: [{
	backgroundColor: "red",
	borderColor: "red",
	data: [{
		x: "2020-05-01",
		y: [50, 100]
	}, {
		x: "2020-05-02",
		y: [50, 100]
	}, {
		x: "2020-05-03",
		y: [50, 100]
	}, {
		x: "2020-05-04",
		y: [50, 100]
	}]
}]

I have tried to use also t property with UTC with the same result.

I haven't raised a bug because I have the feeling the floating bar charts don't support time scale (and time series).

I would expect it to be supported on the time scale. I don't have any ideas off the top of my head

What version are you using?

[stockiNail]

@benmccann I forgot... 2.9.3 Do you need a codepen example?

[stockiNail]

I have found same issue #6499 and seems still pending. Maybe I'm wrong

[stockiNail]

CodePen example is here https://codepen.io/stockinail/pen/oNjPYNo

[benmccann]

#6499 seems unrelated. The issue in that one was that the feature hadn't been released yet :-)

[stockiNail]

@benmccann that sounded really close to mine, sorry. Thanks a lot!

Another thing fixed in v3.

The change is here: #6739

[stockiNail]

@kurkle Thank you very much. I'm gonna wait for v3 to implement this capability on time series.

[kurkle]

For 2.9.3, you can use separate labels, to make it work: https://codepen.io/kurkle/pen/rNOZqRG

[stockiNail]

Very good! Thank you very much! This is a good workaround. I will use it!

[stockiNail]

@kurkle if I may, in V3 will it work with UTC value into t property of a data point as well?

Ignore it. I have tested and it works!! thanks again

I'd use x or y instead of t though. All of those work, if the scale is time scale.

Another new thing that I learned! Thank you. Does it work like that on 2.9.3? If yes, we can say that t property is obsolete and useless and then I can use always x.

Should work the same in 2.9.3
