Bar/Line Chart - Offset Line

[parkerhillius]

Feature Proposal

I would like to be able to shift the black line below, from having the point in the middle to the right:

You can use a second X axis on which you set the offset property to false and then link the line chart to that scale:

const options = {
  type: 'bar',
  data: {
    labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
    datasets: [{
        label: '# of Votes',
        data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
        backgroundColor: 'orange',
        order: 1
      },
      {
        label: '# of Points',
        data: [7, 11, 5, 8, 3, 7],
        borderColor: 'pink',
        type: 'line',
        xAxisID: 'x2',
        order: 0
      }
    ]
  },
  options: {
    scales: {
      x: {},
      x2: {
        display: false,
        offset: false
      }
    }
  }
}

const ctx = document.getElementById('chartJSContainer').getContext('2d');
new Chart(ctx, options);

@LeeLenaleee Thanks! That's close. Why do the line points not consistently hit the grid lines? They drift further and further right...?

@parkerhillius 7 points vs 8 grid lines
