Duarte,
thank you very much for your explanation. I tried to use line chart as you have suggested, but the problem is that some data points are missing in our dataset, like for example data points: 2017-12-31 00:20:00 and 2017-12-31 00:25:00 from the example above.
In our particular case line will be drawn for the first four data points and than from 4-th data point to the 5-th with no visual clue about missing two data points in between.
The only solution for us at the moment is to deliberately put null values as described above in the dataset (you should see the sql query that handles this ).
If we do so, there is a very nice line chart feature "Null Interpolation Mode" that if set to Linear will show null values as doted line.
New feature justification:
We are performing binning on the server so it is not a problem to have all data points in 5 minutes time slots aligned to the
zero second. If data is in such format, it should be quite easy to just plot bars (or lines) on time line.
Furthermore, it would be very nice to have horizontal scrollbar that could be used for shifting time.
For example, if I have data set for 7 days, I could show in line chart data only for two days, and than use horizontal scrollbar in order see different two days of 7 days periods.
Duarte, thanks again. Best regards.
