How it works

For the better graphical representation of the large data sets AnyChart Stock component provides the ability to group data points and display them as a single point. We call this feature data grouping. Pros of showing grouped data are better readability of the charts and faster rendering of chart on the page at the expense of drawing less number of elements.

You can learn everything you need to know about Data Grouping in Data Grouping and Values Approximation article.

This sample shows how to get Current grouping interval and Interval Count using getCurrentDataGroupingInterval method, which is invoked every time the inteval may change - upon firing onSelectedRangeChange event.
