Problems using Stacked Area Chart Node in knime 4.3.0

[swaroop4593]

Using Stacked area chart I discovered the following issues

1. The grid is still displayed even if I disable the grid.
2. The last value on the x-axis is been displayed twice.
   
   

Will tooltip be available for basis method in coming releases?

Any suggestions on how to resolve these issues?

Hi @swaroop4593 and welcome to the forum.

Using a simple example workflow like this one (https://kni.me/w/8B_0uf-mtF0acBt-) I’m not able to replicate either problem you’re seeing - I can control the grid appearance, and I don’t see duplicate values on the x-axis.

Details on the three basis options are provided in the node description, although there currently isn’t a tooltip.

What version of KNIME are you using, and on what OS? Do you have a sample workflow handy that reproduces the problems?

Hello Scott, Thank you for responding.

I’m using Knime 4.3.0 and Mac OS Mojave version 10.14.6

Here is my sample workflow

Please select “ALL” or “MESSAGE_4” option under Name Filter to reproduce the problem.

• I also tried using the stacked area chart (plotly) instead. But couldn’t add custom colours to fill areas based on columns SENT & RECEIVED. Is there a way to do it?

• and for representing curved edges, should I use custom scripting using generic javascript view node?

Can you upload your sample_data.xlsx files as well? The workflows you posted have been reset. Thanks!

I’m still not able to reproduce your original problem, but I’m using Windows. I wonder if it’s an OS issue. My results below:

As for your second set of questions, offhand I don’t know the answers. Let me ask one of our developers to take a closer look.

Scott, I see in your result the last two values on the x-axis are repeating. That is the problem I’m taking about. (Date 2019-12-08 is missing from x-axis and Date 2020-01-12 repeated twice)
I actually see the grid re-appearing when you change the value in Filter by Value dropdown even when I disable the grid option.

You’re right of course about the repetition on the X-axis, and I will create a ticket for it. I asked one of the developers about the grid issue and it turns out there’s already a ticket for that one (AP-11352).

Sorry for the trouble here. Thanks very much for reporting!

(EDIT: New ticket AP-15966)
