Change X-axis Line Chart flutter

Question

I want to draw a line chart in flutter. I follow this tutorial, it works fine if the date and month is different.

But why if it only has one date and one point, the graph turn to this?

Code

/// Timeseries chart example
import 'package:charts_flutter/flutter.dart' as charts;
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(
    MaterialApp(
        title: 'My app', // used by the OS task switcher
        theme: ThemeData(
          accentIconTheme: const IconThemeData.fallback().copyWith(
            color: Colors.white,
          ),
          primaryTextTheme: TextTheme(title: TextStyle(color: Colors.white)),
          primarySwatch: Colors.orange,
          primaryIconTheme: const IconThemeData.fallback().copyWith(
            color: Colors.white,
          ),
        ),
        home: SimpleTimeSeriesChart()),
  );
}

class SimpleTimeSeriesChart extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    var seriesList = List<Data>();

    seriesList.add(Data(DateTime(2020, 03, 12), int.parse("50")));

    return Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text("Graph"),
        ),
        body: Container(
            height: 500,
            width: double.infinity,
            child: charts.TimeSeriesChart(_createSampleData(seriesList),
                animate: false,
                behaviors: [
                  new charts.SlidingViewport(),
                  new charts.PanAndZoomBehavior(),
                ],
                dateTimeFactory: const charts.LocalDateTimeFactory(),
                defaultRenderer:
                    new charts.LineRendererConfig(includePoints: true))));
  }

  List<charts.Series<Data, DateTime>> _createSampleData(List<Data> data) {
    return [
      charts.Series<Data, DateTime>(
        id: 'time',
        domainFn: (Data sales, _) => sales.time,
        measureFn: (Data sales, _) => sales.sales,
        data: data,
      )
    ];
  }
}

/// Sample linear data type.
class Data {
  final DateTime time;
  final int sales;

  Data(this.time, this.sales);
}

Output

What is 12:00 mean exactly here? I want the x-axis display all the march of date. Is it possible?

no one..........

Can you explain "all the march of date"?

Enter those dates into the static tick table in the answer.

With just one point the X axis has no scale, so it zooms in showing the single date in as much resolution as it can - in this case down to the nearest minute. That's midnight ("12AM") on the twelfth of March. To force a fixed scale use a StaticDateTimeTickProviderSpec. For example:

return Scaffold(
  appBar: AppBar(
    title: Text('Graph'),
  ),
  body: Container(
    height: 500,
    width: double.infinity,
    child: charts.TimeSeriesChart(
      _createSampleData(seriesList),
      domainAxis: charts.DateTimeAxisSpec(
        tickProviderSpec: charts.StaticDateTimeTickProviderSpec(
        <charts.TickSpec<DateTime>>[
          charts.TickSpec<DateTime>(DateTime(2020, 3, 1)),
          charts.TickSpec<DateTime>(DateTime(2020, 3, 6)),
          charts.TickSpec<DateTime>(DateTime(2020, 3, 11)),
          charts.TickSpec<DateTime>(DateTime(2020, 3, 16)),
          charts.TickSpec<DateTime>(DateTime(2020, 3, 21)),
          charts.TickSpec<DateTime>(DateTime(2020, 3, 26)),
          charts.TickSpec<DateTime>(DateTime(2020, 4, 1)),
        ],
      ),
        tickFormatterSpec: charts.AutoDateTimeTickFormatterSpec(
          day: charts.TimeFormatterSpec(
            format: 'dd MMM',
            transitionFormat: 'dd MMM',
          ),
        ),
      ),
      animate: false,
      behaviors: [
        charts.SlidingViewport(),
        charts.PanAndZoomBehavior(),
      ],
      dateTimeFactory: const charts.LocalDateTimeFactory(),
      defaultRenderer: charts.LineRendererConfig(
        includePoints: true,
      ),
    ),
  ),
);

Can I display the month as 03 instead of Mar?

Richard Heap Over a year ago

See the DateFormat class. MM should produce the numeric form.

Pedro Molina Over a year ago

Also you can create the dateTime like DateTime(year, month), without the day and in the formatter : tickFormatterSpec: charts.AutoDateTimeTickFormatterSpec( month: charts.TimeFormatterSpec( format: 'MMM', transitionFormat: 'MMM', noonFormat: 'MMM', ), ),
