Stacked Area Charts

We’ve got a few customers asking for stacked area charts. It would make it a lot easier to understand what’s happening when we’re looking at data from a large number of devices on a single graph. Is this something that’s in the development pipeline?

Best wishes,

Allan.

It’s not, but our underlying graphing library supports it so it’s feasible to add. We’ll need to research the best way to expose it to users; for example, do we add a new block type or try to support it in the existing time series graphs, where the ability to define different axes and line interpolations could cause issues.

I will file a feature request and let you know if it’s selected for development. In the meantime, Google Charts has an example you could use, which you could implement in a Losant Custom HTML Block.

We added support for stacked area / bar charts in our latest platform update. As part of the Y axis configuration changes, we exposed an option to stack all bar / area segments that are tied to a given axis.

Thanks again for the suggestion and glad we were able to get it out for you!
