Answer 1

I had the same issue , I solved it by setting the width of the containing div to be large enough to contain the chart given the settings specified .

<div id="jqxChart" style="width:680px; height:400px; vertical-align: top;  display: inline-block; padding: 10px;">

Hope this helps

Answer 2

@Anon, Thank you for that solution. I had the same issue, but with "Raphael" framework (raphael-2.1.0.js) for drawing charts, with the same error messages as OP. Removing the max-width (css) of a parent element solved my issue.

(This was posted as solution because 50 reputation was required to add a comment to Anon's solution.)

Answer 3

For me this turned out to be the case because I embedded the chart in a tab div that wasn't visible on page load. When I move it to a tab that's visible on page load it works.

Answer 4

So I was getting this error because the data that was supplied did not entirely match my series in the seriesGroups . Some of the data was not defined correctly so when I first tried drawing the chart their code didn't like what was missing and coughed up several of these errors.

Further, I wanted to try to update my chart using new data and new seriesGroups . In making a change like that I have to call jqxChart and update the seriesGroups before changing other data.

        if (chartTableArea.jqxChart("isInitialized") === true) {
            if (gSettings === undefined || gSettings.title === undefined) {
                gSettings = getSettings(); //sets up the gSettings
            }
            chartTableArea.jqxChart({ seriesGroups: gSettings.seriesGroups });
            chartTableArea.jqxChart(gSettings);
        } else {
            //not initialized
            chartTableArea.jqxChart(getSettings());
        }
