Problems with jqPlot / Primefaces extender and Date values - jsf

so here's the thing.
I've got plenty of persisted "Snapshots" containing a java.sql.Timestamp and (for the sake of simplicity) an int as data.
I have a JSF page containing a primefaces 3.4.1 <p:lineChart> and behind that a ManagedBean that contains the model for the chart.
Let's say I then select a time range and fetch all the Snapshots in between that range.
and populate the data model for the chart with all the Timestamps (x-axis) and all the integers (y-axis).
So what i do while populating is:
data = new HashMap<Object, Number>();
List<Snapshot> allSnapshots = persistenceService.getAllSnapshots();
for(int i = 0; i < allSnapshots.size(); i++) {
Snapshot s = allSnapshots.get(i);
data.put(new Date(s.getTimestamp().getTime()), s.getData());
}
chartModel.getSeries().get(0).setData(data);
(Note: in the example code I just fetch all Snapshots, as I quickly just generated a hundred or so).
I set up the chart like this:
<p:lineChart id="chart" value="#{backingBean.chartModel}" xaxisAngle="-90">
<f:convertDateTime pattern="HH:mm:ss"/>
</p:lineChart>
It works ok but when the model contains a hundred data points, the xaxis is just overcrowded with all the tickmarks.
What I then did is to use the primefaces' option to use a jqplot extender function.
So I just add extender="extend" as attribute for the chart, where extend is the following js function :
function extend() {
this.cfg.axes = {
xaxis: {
renderer: $.jqplot.DateAxisRenderer,
rendererOptions: { tickRenderer: $.jqplot.CanvasAxisTickRenderer },
tickOptions: {
showGridline: true,
formatString: '%H:%M',
angle: -90
}
}
}
}
This is the current version of it..
After hours of reading and trial and error, I still cannot get it right, as the following things are just never right:
The tick marks never get rendered as the Date never gets converted.
At the moment this is just ignored and the formatString itself is
displayed...
Additional tick marks are created left and right of the actual data,
I dont want that.
When I only give autoscale: true as option for the jqplot extender,
I would expect just the spacing between the marks turn ok. But what
then happens is, that the spacing is cool but the original date
labels turn into just bare numbers starting from 0 to the amount of data available.. !?
I am getting a little tired from dealing with this.....maybe I am doing something fundamentally wrong. Otherwise I have no idea why this is so complicated..
Thanks for any advice!
Cheers
Chris
EDIT:
Ok thanks to perissf, I checked this one : https://stackoverflow.com/a/14287971/870122
With the suggested extender I get the following output :

(sorry I cannot post the image directly due to new user restrictions :-/ )
As you can see the tick marks are rendered correctly as HH:MM, thats very nice.
But as you also can see another quite weird problem occurs:
The given time range of the snapshots is
Start time: 2013-01-28 13:01:25.415
End time: 2013-01-28 13:14:32.145
I collected these as UTC timestamps with System.currentTimeMillis() while the JVM is set to UTC in the glassfish config.
As you notice, the datapoints in the plot are shifted one hour, they start at 14:01, which looks like the values have been auto-converted to my current timezone which is UTC+1. But the leftmost xaxis tick is placed at around the original UTC value at 13:00.
I collect the timestamps UTC as I dont know in which actual timezone the application will be running, but I'd like to display the "translated" time value. So the auto shift to my timezone is a nice feature, but the xaxis scaling is actually not nice and weird.
Any suggestions how I get rid of that ?
Cheers
Chris
EDIT2:
Ok while debugging the rendered page with Firebug I stumbled upon the jqplot internal variables in the plot object, which seem to contain the min and max values for the xaxis.
Min is set to the original min UTC value which is around 13:00, and max is set to the shifted UTC+1 value around 14:15.
Somehow the min value is not shifted accordingly to the automatic timezone adjustments.
All other values, that is dataBounds, data itself and so on, are all shifted nicely by one hour.
I opened a issue at Bitbucket jqplot issue tracker
Let's see.
Bye
Chris

i finally debugged the jqplot renderer and found some lines of code that cause this behaviour.
For anyone interested, please find the bugfix in the comment section here:
Bitbucket issue tracker
Thanks for any help

I'm very interested in this fix but the issues on BitBucket are in a restricted area so I cannot access it. So I had myself to try to fix this AxisDateRenderer and fortunately I did :)
So the Primefaces (6.0) chart uses an old version of the JQPlot library. A bug in this version sets the minimum date axis bound being not the first value exactly, but a time older according to the locale time zone of the user browser. For example, if the first value is at 12:00 and your GMT is GMT+1, then the date axis bound minimum will be at 11:00 instead of 12:00 !
The minVale
The following line (in createTicks function) should bed replaced (note the code is written minified below)
ad = ad.getTime() + ad.getUtcOffset();
By the next line:
ad = Math.floor((ad.getTime() - ad.getUtcOffset())/r) * r + ad.getUtcOffset();
Non minified line to replace:
min = min.getTime() + min.getUtcOffset();
With:
min = Math.floor((min.getTime() - min.getUtcOffset())/tempti) * tempti + min.getUtcOffset();
Note that I have tried to update the chart.js of Primefaces to an earlier version , but the chart do not work anymore. I will wait for the next update of Primefaces hoping that a newer version is used. I also don't know which version of JQPlot is used in Primefaces 6.0

Set animation position

I'm using Godot 4 beta. I want to skip to a specific frame in an AnimationPlayer, but I'm getting:
Invalid set index 'current_animation_position' (on base: 'AnimationPlayer') with value of type 'float'.
Here's the related documentation: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/classes/class_animationplayer.html#class-animationplayer-property-current-animation-position
I currently have one AnimationPlayer in my scene, named 'animation', with an animation named 'Animation' with "Autoplay on Load". The animation 'Animation' has a length of 4.x seconds.
Here's my code attached to the scene:
func _process(_delta):
if Input.is_action_just_released("skip_intro"):
if animation_player.current_animation_position < 1.3:
animation_player.current_animation_position = 1.3
else:
skip_intro()
Update (2)
I know I can use animation_player.advance(), but it adds to the relative time. I'm looking for a way to go to a fixed frame, not a relative frame.
As you can read in the documentation you linked current_animation_position only has a getter. It is a read-only property.
If you want to go to an specific time you can use the seek method.
I found that I can use play() before advance() to go to an absolute frame. But I'd appreciate any other way to do it inliner.
animation_player.play("Animation")
animation_player.advance(1.3)
IMO it should be allowed to rewrite the current_animation_position property.

Control macro usage formatting in Rustfmt

I want to write a simple call to assert! like this
assert!(idents.len() == 1, "Multi-part table references not supported");
But this keeps getting formatted to:
assert!(
idents.len() == 1,
"Multi-part table references not supported"
);
But I don't really like this particular formatting behavior; I'd like it to stay on one line. I tried setting the fn_call_width in my rustfmt.toml file to a higher number, but that didn't help. Note that my max_width is still the default value (100).
Does anybody know if there is a config I can set in the rustfmt.toml that can get me the desired behavior?
Ahh, I just realized that changing the width settings, like fn_call_width won't change anything if use_small_heuristics is set to "Default" (which it is by default). I have to either do use_small_heuristics = "Off", or I have to increase my max_width (which rustfmt uses to compute settings like fn_call_width when use_small_heuristics = "Default").

Datastage: String to Timestamp to milli seconds conversion

I'm trying to insert timestamp with milli seconds into a database. I tried following steps but haven't had any luck.
Extend field value to milli seconds , with length 26 and scale 3.
Used StringToTimestamp(timestampInString,"%yyyy-%mm-%dd %hh:%nn:%ss.3"), Resulting null value in output.
Modified the default time Stamp in job properties to %yyyy-%mm-%dd %hh:%nn:%ss.3
Design :
Sequential file --> TX --> destination (SQL/Seq file)
Could you please assist a solution for this?
What you tried looks good so far with one exception:
length 26 and scale 3
Using Db2 for example you would need to specify length 26 precision 6.
26 and 3 do not fit as
%yyyy-%mm-%dd %hh:%nn:%ss has length of 20
Specifying microsenonds is extended attriute is also necessary.
Have a try and provide more details of the target system if you still have problems
try below command in transformer stage and set the target data type as per the requirement, it will give the required result:
StringToTimestamp(Columnname,"%yyyy-%mm-%dd %hh:%nn:%ss.3")
Most important thing is to override the default NLS settings in the job with expected format (%yyyy-%mm-%dd %hh:%nn:%ss.3) which you have already completed.
Now, for the microseconds part which is not being displayed, you can enable the Microseconds extended attribute for the field in the target stage used.
Also you can refer this link from IBM which explains a similar scenario

Error series vanishes on resizing window

Following plot has a error series Series2 which is not displayed on this chart, but legends says about its existence. This series needs to be displayed with minimum y value as infinity. But, Tee chart doesn't have any provision to specify -Infinity directly. So, we defined a huge negative number instead; which is significantly larger than the y axis to give an appearance of -Infinity to the user. But, if the chart area becomes too small compared to this huge negative number, the series (here series2) vanishes entirely.
Here is the series data used -
Series2 Points:
X-------------------->>Bar-------------------->>Std. Error
1432 --------->> -50.19380462 ----------->> 50.20619538
1797 ---------->> 50.19380462 ----------->> 50.20619538
2164 ---------->> -50.19380462 ----------->> 50.20619538
2529 --------->> -50.19380462 ----------->> 50.20619538
Can anyone please help to resolve this issue?
Thanking you.
The next release of TeeChart for .NET includes support for extended Axis ranges, from Double.MinValue to Double.MaxValue, and goes some way further to handle infinite value issues. That doesn't say for sure that it will resolve the issue you describe here. If you are able to send Steema Support a sample project that shows the issue we can test it with the new release.

bug in primefaces calendar timepicker?

I have this calendar with time picker on my page:
<p:calendar value="#{addTaskBacking.currentTask.deadline}" mode="inline"
pattern="dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm" mindate="01-09-2013 00:00"/>
When I set the pattern: dd-MM-yyyy without the time everything is added correctly, but when I change to: dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm I get this error:
j_idt10:j_idt12: '9-04-2014' could not be understood as a date and time.
This is when I set the inline mode, when I set the popup is all ok.
I have primefaces_v4.jar. I check this side http://forum.primefaces.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22982 but i can't find any solution
Edit:
It look like all depends of mode atribute of p:calendar. If i have default popup mode everything it's fine (like in example on http://primefaces.org/showcase/ui/calendarTime.jsf. But when I change to inline mode i get this error:
cal:inlineCal: '13-04-2014' could not be understood as a date and time. Example: 13-04-2014 15:16
PrimeFaces uses SimpleDateFormat by default unless you override the formatter.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
EDIT
Your pattern will work if you change your mindate attribute to be the same as your pattern..
IE: You can't have a pattern dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm when you have a mindate="01/09/2013"
Change your mindate to - 01-09-2013
EDIT 2
AFter debugging a fair bit you're right, there seems to be a bug when setting the inputValue field in javascript prior to being sent in the POST to the server to even use the pattern converters...
I got it all working recompiling the code with the following changes:
Line 129 in calendar.js (gets merged into primefaces.js) var newDate = this.value;
Basically at the moment it tries to do a formatDate on the input which is fine cause its the same date format split ie, dd/mm/yy etc.. but it totally skips 'time' being attached can't use parseDatetime as it does an entire object time, which should be don eon the java side as you just build the object.
this.value is what you want regardless to be sent back in the post which is what it does for _self.cfg.popup (it doesn't even set the input val because its already there!...
I'll raise an issue with PF
"Raised Issue 6790 on the PrimeFaces Issue Tracker"
