google charts - changing data granularity

[nadavs]

I've been working on a project with google charts for a while now. I have lots and lots of data points and i want to smooth it out.

I'm generally looking for this: https://developers.google.com/chart/image/docs/gallery/line_charts#data-granularity but with the current version of google charts.

this is how a graph the represents a day looks like: 

this is how a graph the represents an hour looks like: 

I use ChartRangeFilter to "zoom" in and out on the graph but I want to smoothen the lines so it would look more reasonable.

I know i can do this manually by averaging the data but it feels like an overkill. any suggestions?

thanks!!!

The only way we have currently to smoothen the data is to aggregate it, using the data.group function.  See documentation at https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/reference#google_visualization_data_group

You would specify a key with a custom modifier function that changes values within an hour to a whole hour,

and then in the 'columns', specify an aggregation by averaging all the values that have the same hour.

Another way to think about smoothing is a moving average, where instead of one-hour discrete buckets, you would use a sliding window over the preceding hour.  We don't have a way of computing such a moving average, so you would have to do that on your own.  But you could do that a little more simply with a DataView and a calculated column, using the setColumns method.

Hi-

I have the same problem, just wondered if you ever resolved it.
My line chart data looks similar to yours, I want it to auto-aggregate based on the number of points.
The Y-axis consists of dates.
I don't mind creating my own aggregation method, like, work out the number of points within the current graph range, and update date= accordingly, or something like that
