[Chartjs]-Why is my chart.js not plotting correctly when changed to logarithmic?

I can propose a simple solution that works but didn’t find the reason why your code is not working.

The data property of individual datasets for a line chart can be passed in two formats, number[] or Point[]. Point[] is useful in the following cases:

  1. If the number of data points from individual datasets is different.
  2. if x-values of data points from different datasets are different.

If you have a unique dataset, it’s fine to use number[] and this is what you did.

I just tried the other approach and use Point[] now. I basically create an array of Point using Array.map():

labels.map((label, index) => ({ x: label, y: dBs[index] }))

Please have a look at your amended code below.

var labels = [100000,100069,100334,100342,100417,129547,129637,129980,129999,130010,130057,130154,130166,130442,130461,159596,159634,159693,159749,159812,160001,160083,160329,160361,160372,160444,160500,199998,200013,200030,200056,200067,200078,200098,200122,200163,200367,200417,200440,249557,249768,249890,249923,249943,250001,250015,250034,250099,250228,250355,250387,319602,319632,319707,319885,319948,319972,320000,320005,320019,320277,320399,320479,399637,399685,399727,399731,399744,399844,399887,399901,400000,400004,400085,400159,499615,499671,499675,499890,499995,499998,499999,500077,500080,500103,500128,500306,629817,629985,629987,629991,629993,629996,629999,630000,630002,630177,630317,789576,789587,789994,789997,789998,789999,790000,790009,790056,790151,790251,999745,999996,999997,999998,999999,1000000,1300000,1600000,2000000,2500000,3200000,4000000,5000000,6300000,7900000,10000000,13000000,16000000,20000000,25000000,30000000,40000000,50000000,70000000,79400000,100000000,126000000,158000000,180000000,200000000,316000000,398000000,501000000,631000000,794000000,1000000000,2000000000,2400000000,3600000000,4900000000,5000000000,5900000000,6500000000,7000000000,8000000000,10000000000,15000000000,18000000000,20000000000,25000000000,30000000000,35000000000,40000000000];
