Get date from X Axis with Line Chart

[huy-jack]

Question
How to get the x position to get Date when clicking on the Line Chart

    this.chart.events.on('click', (event) => {
      let x = event.target.getPrivate('x'); // return undefined, there is no option "positionX" for getPrivate function, just "x"
      let dateX = this.xAxis.positionToDate(x);
    });

I also tried this but it still does not work

    cursor.events.on('click', (ev) => {
      let x = (ev.target as any).getPrivate('positionX'); // return undefined
      let dateX = this.xAxis.positionToDate(x);
    });

App info: Angular 16, Amchart 5

The idea is to track cursor position using cursormoved event by logging it in some interval variable.

Then, when click event occurs, you can refer to that variable to know where the click occurred.

var dataItem;
cursor.events.on("cursormoved", (ev) => {
  var positionX = ev.target.getPrivate("positionX");
  var x = xAxis.toAxisPosition(positionX);
  var dataItem = xAxis.getSeriesItem(series, x);
});

chart.events.on('click', (event) => {
  console.log(dataItem);
});
