No matter the data, I can't seem to make it do day X axis, always hour about chartkick HOT 11 CLOSED

Nothing. For better or worse, the charting library decides the data labels. In this case, both Google Charts and Highcharts seem to think you want hours.

Bleh.

The thing is, the exact timestamp from group_by_day works just fine.

Hmm, that's odd. Can you paste that JS?

Maybe I misunderstood this comment.

Can you elaborate?

from chartkick.

The date strings produced by group_by_day is exactly the same format as
mine, except for some reason the charting library picks up that
group_by_day wants days.

It's probably the number of data points. When I have roughly 10 data points (each a different day), the labels switch to days.

Oh wow, that'd definitely be it! I only have 3 days worth of data.

so, if you only have like 3 datas, x axis always shows hours instead of date?

from chartkick.

The charting library (Google Charts or Highcharts) decides whether to show hours or days based on the data. If the times are close together, it could show minutes, and if the times are far apart, it will likely show days.
