how to change highstock date to persian date
highcharts, persian
Solution
You will have to do a bit of work to get this into highcharts.
Firstly, find a javascript library which converts dates to persian date. This one looks promising: http://intldate.codeplex.com/
Secondly, you need to customise the highcharts date formatting. Highcharts provides an API to do this:
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#Highcharts.dateFormat()
You need to use the dateFormats hook to add a %P option to the date format string which prints in persian format using the javascript library you choose. Once you have defined a %P format, you can customise the date formats to be used on the x-axis: http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#xAxis.dateTimeLabelFormats
{
second: '%H:%M:%S',
minute: '%H:%M',
hour: '%H:%M',
day: '%P',
week: '%P',
month: '%P',
year: '%P'
}
Note, you can define several dateFormat parameters, not just %P, to handle days, months etc.
Problem
I'm using highcharts. I'm trying to change its date to Persian but since it is using Date.UTC I can not change it! I've seen the http://api.highcharts.com/highstock#lang but it seems that it doesn't support persian. Do you know any way to change it into persian date? One method I can come across with is the algorithm that changes UTC date to Persian date. Is there any way to solve this problem? Please help me... Thank you
