Remove x-axis label/text in chart.js
How do I hide the x-axis label/text that is displayed in chart.js ?
Setting scaleShowLabels:false
only removes the y-axis labels.
<script>
var options = {
scaleFontColor: "#fa0",
datasetStrokeWidth: 1,
scaleShowLabels : false,
animation : false,
bezierCurve : true,
scaleStartValue: 0,
};
var lineChartData = {
labels : ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7"],
datasets : [
{
fillColor : "rgba(151,187,205,0.5)",
strokeColor : "rgba(151,187,205,1)",
pointColor : "rgba(151,187,205,1)",
pointStrokeColor : "#fff",
data : [1,3,0,0,6,2,10]
}
]
}
var myLine = new Chart(document.getElementById("canvas").getContext("2d")).Line(lineChartData,options);
</script>
Solution 1:
UPDATE chart.js 2.1 and above
var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
...
options:{
scales:{
xAxes: [{
display: false //this will remove all the x-axis grid lines
}]
}
}
});
var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
...
options: {
scales: {
xAxes: [{
ticks: {
display: false //this will remove only the label
}
}]
}
}
});
Reference: chart.js documentation
Old answer (written when the current version was 1.0 beta) just for reference below:
To avoid displaying labels in chart.js
you have to set scaleShowLabels : false
and also avoid to pass the labels
:
<script>
var options = {
...
scaleShowLabels : false
};
var lineChartData = {
//COMMENT THIS LINE TO AVOID DISPLAYING THE LABELS
//labels : ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7"],
...
}
...
</script>
Solution 2:
(this question is a duplicate of In chart.js, Is it possible to hide x-axis label/text of bar chart if accessing from mobile?) They added the option, 2.1.4 (and maybe a little earlier) has it
var myLineChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: data,
options: {
scales: {
xAxes: [{
ticks: {
display: false
}
}]
}
}
}
