Consistent Y axis scales on nested charts. #940

Open ruthpozuelo opened 2 years ago

ruthpozuelo commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When I create a nested chart based on area charts (glyph as a rectangle), as there is no Y-axis, I get different scales on the nested charts. Is there a way to force charticulator to use the same Y-axis across nested charts? image

I have tried to do it with a line chart too where I can specify a Y axis, but I am having problems with the auto-update feature. I will post that issue on an issue request.

This is a duplicate of https://github.com/microsoft/charticulator/issues/800.

Same applies to Multi-glyph charts (not nested). The Y axis are not aligning

ruthpozuelo commented 2 years ago

Have you tried to set the scale manually on both glyphs? By default they will adjust to the max and min of the values, but you can hardcode it to anything you want.

jordanFromNYC commented 2 years ago

Thing is my data is quite dynamic and can vary a lot depending on the filters, i need the axis to adjust to the right scale

ruthpozuelo commented 2 years ago

Yes, in that case, I am with you. It would be lovely if we could have a setting to sync the axis between glyps. Maybe you should open a new feature request to make sure it doesnt get lost in the comments section?

That said, i noticed that multi glyph bar charts have synced Y axis, while symbols don't; seems to be due tot he fact that for bars the axis is added via 'add a legend' and seems this legend is shared by all the glyphs. Opening a new request

Is there any work around to sync the y axis for symbols and charts in multi glyphs?
