实时跟踪期间 highcharts 和 highstock 之间的差异以及具有最大值的 xAxis

Question

I got a problem with highstock. I'm trying to add real time data to my chart. But I noticed different behaviour from highchart and highstock when max xAxis is set.

For example, if the xAxis max is 100 and I add the value 20: - in the highcharts one, the value is added in the first half of the chart - in the highstock one, the value is added at the end, at the margin of the chart

Look this two running examples:

highcharts: http://jsfiddle.net/Jy83b/

highstock: http://jsfiddle.net/mE6XM/

I need the highcharts behaviour in the highstock chart.. How can I solve it?

Thank you!

Solved it!

Added ordinal: false to xAxis

Answer 1

Add ordinal: false to your xAxis settings:

xAxis: {
            type: 'datetime',
            tickPixelInterval: 150,
            max: pippo,
            ordinal: false 
        },

Then you'll have the same behaviour.
