Maximum value of Y-axis

[elatoskinas]

Is it possible to get the current maximum value of the y-axis of a Chart without doing calculations on the data itself? For instance, taking the very first Line Chart example from the wiki: https://github.com/pepstock-org/Charba/wiki/ChartLine

So the max value is y = 100 on the Y axis. Is it possible to get this number?

@lightingft if you need the max value of the axis, you should access to chart node, as following:

if (chart.isInitialized()){
     // internal chart entities
     ChartNode node = chart.getNode();
     // gets scales
     ScalesNode scales = node.getScales();
     // gets sclaes map
     Map<String,ScaleItem> scalesMap = scales.getItems();
     // gets the Y axis
     ScaleItem item = scalesMap.get(Scales.DEFAULT_Y_AXIS_ID);
     // gets max
     int max= item.getMax();
}

@lightingft be aware that the previous source code is providing you the MAX value of axis, NOT the max value of your data.

To have it, you could use Collections.max(Collection, Comparator).

     // gets sclaes map
     Map<String,ScaleItem> scalesMap = scales.getItems();
     // gets the Y axis
     ScaleItem item = scalesMap.get(Scales.DEFAULT_Y_AXIS_ID);
     // gets max
     int max= item.getMax();
}

Hmm, strangely the key that I had to use (without changing anything) for scalesMap had to be "y-axis-1" instead of the Default Y Axis ID ("y-axis-0").

Thank you for the answer!

I see that if you are using Scatter charts, CHART.JS is setting as default Axis id [x-axis-1, y-axis-1] Nevertheless you can set ID of axis, using own linear axis instance, like this (tested with a scatter chart):

CartesianLinearAxis axis = new CartesianLinearAxis(chart);
axis.setDisplay(true);
axis.setId(Scales.DEFAULT_Y_AXIS_ID);
chart.getOptions().getScales().setYAxes(axis);

Ahh, I see. Thanks! That answers my problem.

@lightingft I was curious why the scatter charts are using y-axis-1 instead of 0.

I have seen that the default scales definitions (default set by CHART.JS) of Scatter chart have got x-axis-1 and y-axis-1 (only scatter chart has got this default).

In Charba you could see those defaults as following (that you can change them as well):

Defaults.get().getOptions(ChartType.SCATTER).getScales().getYAxes();
