How to use two Y axes in Chart.js v2?


I am trying to create a line chart with two datasets, each with its own Y scale / axis (one to the left, one to the right of the graph) using Chart.js.

This is my code (jsfiddle):

var canvas = document.getElementById('chart');
new Chart(canvas, {
  type: 'line',
  data: {
    labels: [ '1', '2', '3', '4', '5' ],
    datasets: [
      {
        label: 'A',
        yAxesGroup: 'A',
        data: [ 100, 96, 84, 76, 69 ]
      },
      {
        label: 'B',
        yAxesGroup: 'B',
        data: [ 1, 1, 1, 1, 0 ]
      }
    ]
  },
  options: {
    yAxes: [
      {
        name: 'A',
        type: 'linear',
        position: 'left',
        scalePositionLeft: true
      },
      {
        name: 'B',
        type: 'linear',
        position: 'right',
        scalePositionLeft: false,
        min: 0,
        max: 1
      }
    ]
  }
});

However, the second axis is not visible and the second dataset is still scaled exactly as the first (0 to 100 instead of 0 to 1). What do I need to change?


Solution

  • For ChartJs 2.x only a couple changes need to be made (it looks like you have tried to combine 2.x options with the multi-axes options from my fork?),

    Example:

    var canvas = document.getElementById('chart');
    new Chart(canvas, {
      type: 'line',
      data: {
        labels: ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5'],
        datasets: [{
          label: 'A',
          yAxisID: 'A',
          data: [100, 96, 84, 76, 69]
        }, {
          label: 'B',
          yAxisID: 'B',
          data: [1, 1, 1, 1, 0]
        }]
      },
      options: {
        scales: {
          yAxes: [{
            id: 'A',
            type: 'linear',
            position: 'left',
          }, {
            id: 'B',
            type: 'linear',
            position: 'right',
            ticks: {
              max: 1,
              min: 0
            }
          }]
        }
      }
    });
