Steps to Reproduce

The link as above.

Current Behavior

dimensions: ['date', 'open', 'close', 'highest', 'lowest']

'date' dimension of the data maps on 'open' dimension of candlestick series.

Expected Behavior

'date' dimension of the data should map as planned. It works fine on value xAxis,but consumes too many computational resources and the bar width also looks weird. Actually,I want to update next candlestick bar by clicking the chart,but it seems like it's only availible on bar series.Following link is bar series demo: https://echarts.apache.org/examples/zh/editor.html?c=bar-simple&code=PYBwLglsB2AEC8sDeAoWszGAG0iAXMgL4A0as2ApgOaXQAmhSp59AhmGwM6VhPnp6EALZ0uUaF0IBtAOQQGlAB6ySsWQDc22AK6VZAXXIt0SgIJKIU5AIwBPEJUKyAxhxrAATndnGy6OwsrJhNYHk8ISmtpW1R0eNhoNlFnAGVtfX8E-0dnACM2T1VbQQ42GRL46QAGNQAmAyzs2Gk6tQBmI2bGyroXYHonG2bTZwVBlSbsuxlNbT1DSqJbZfQjIgBuFBQtT1gALz3EYTsAYQALQrAAOlowAC1PAAoASi3d2HHlBFgAdi3DtcYE9XNgIC4ANaqWAAMx00BckBgsCeIEKyS4L2GsA-IGACjAAEloAAFCBKSjYH7SNGeDFAmEwnhgAAaalp9OAjOZAE0DFt0Lj8dAidAAOIReg_E4XK7XfrQDSUTxgABinmAwjJFOwIOokuheIJxO1lLe5AgMJRMsuKvlME4ClNutk-og9ENwtFzpeWLi8QA9AHYOxOAB9ACM1xAOi45ye0i-SgA1Mm1EmDOaEgquDhKNdsMBqE8k1n4ja5cyAPLgCRPf0JcKRaKVdANkbuwhJqbNMAOIayApFHvZUPlFqJxQptOfKcGHojeJsaAiDgSQgw7Q8VuwVbZLrxIhl5ZHjZAA

Any additional comments?

This is not-a-bug. Use one of:

• series.data with series.dimensions
• dataset (eventually with series.encode)

but not both and not mixed. Series.data takes precedence over dataset. Demo Code

Thanks for the reply, but I need the xAxis type as category. Without type declaration, it will be set as value type . On value type, when the data size grows, the bar width doesn't change, which looks very weird.

Let see that first (Minimal Reproduction) and we'll go from there.

Add data to the series instead of adding a new serie with a single candle - Demo Code

Thanks for your constant support, it may be my last resort to the issue. I thought about this way at the beginning, but it requires unnecessarily additional computaitional resources. However,the rendering speed is fast than I expected. Do you think it's a good idea to pull a request to add category sort feature on candlestick series or other cunstom series like the bar series have?

[helgasoft]

If you mean "sorting" like bar.realtimeSort, it could be done in the click processing, all data is available there. Adding a request for a "new feature" that can be easily written by the user himself will get no traction with developers here.
