I'm attempting to use LightningChartJS to manage a large number of datapoints (300,000+), while also supporting zoom levels down to a couple datapoints. My data is time series, and I have not been able to find any type of X Axis that will operate as expected in this scenario.
At full view, 8 hours of data should be visible. At the deepest zoom, I'd like to be able to distinguish between single microseconds. This means I'd like to be able to add X Axis points between 0 and 28,800,000,000 and have a major axis tick of 1.
This sounds like a large number, but Javascript's double-precision numerics should be able to represent a minimum of 15 digits of precision, and I only need 11.
It appears LightningChart artificially limits the zoom level based on the maximum point added to an axis. Using the 1 Million Points interactive example out of the box, I am able to zoom to the point of 1 major axis tick.
However if I plot between 10,000,000 and 11,000,000, I am only able to zoom to a major axis tick of 100.
Notably, if I divide the numbers by 1,000,000 and expect to work with high-precision small decimals instead, the precision at the maximum zoom level is identical. The limitation really is calculated somewhere in the code.
I would really like to avoid dicing up my data, scaling and sliding it upon each interval adjustment to fit into these seemingly artificial requirements. Am I missing a solution outside of that approach?
