I’ve set up a couple of charts in Glide to track my body fat % and weight (screenshots attached). The issue is that the Y-axis automatically starts at 0, which makes the lines look almost flat.
For example:
My Body Fat % chart ranges between ~17–22%, but the Y-axis shows 0–25.
My Weight chart ranges between ~175–185 lbs, but the Y-axis shows 0–200.
This makes it harder to see small but important changes.
Is there a way to customize or shorten the Y-axis scale (e.g., start the axis closer to the actual data range)? Or is the Y-axis currently fixed in Glide charts?
Hi @ThinhDinh Please can you provide examples and tips for using the external chart library, especially with Glyde apps. Could you also consider creating a dedicated space for sharing information about external libraries to ease learning? Have a good day.
Quick charts is lame. Is see this recommended a lot. It is simply a dreadful backup. There are many things that need fixing with the Glide charts component, notwithstanding the great improvements made recently.
dynamic labels (names) for series
Data labels for series
Conditional visibility for series
Reference plumb lines as benchmarks (horizontal or vertical)
Yes, because I didn’t see the reasoning provided in your post. I want to know your point of view to see if I can help guiding you to a better outcome using Quickcharts itself, and if it can not, perhaps helping with Chart.js instead.
Also, would like a point of view to see if it’s worth recommending Quickcharts going forward.
The best answer I can give is to recommend you take a look at the charts available in Excel and Google and to some extent PowerBI. These are modern, full suite charting capabilities. Glide should be inspired by these professional solutions and not Quickcharts, which is truly lame.
