Why is the line chart not updating the data points? #745

mikasku · 2018-05-02T12:53:21Z

Hi,

I don't know too much about Angular-nvd3 nor Javascript but I managed to do a basic line chart using this example as the basic code:

https://github.com/krispo/angular-nvd3/blob/gh-pages/js/lineChart.js

I want to update (don't want to refresh) the chart every second for 10 seconds but the only dot plotted is the last one:

I don't know why the previous points aren't plotted and I can't use a

                    $scope.api.update();

after the

		$scope.data = dataGen(genHHMMSS);

because I get the following error:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'update' of undefined

Could anyone help me?

Thanks a lot
