See discussion in the issue for context and possible approaches. When invoking update() inside an event handler, such as onHover, `options.hover.animationDuration` was not being respected. Given that some use cases may require additional animation properties for the manual update call, this commit changes that method signature to accept a configuration object. This object provides backwards compatibility with duration and lazy properties, and also introduces the easing property so that the event animation is different from the global one. Add tests that guarantee that when update is called manually with arguments, it properly builds the _bufferedRequest or calls render with the proper arguments. It includes test cases for when update is called with legacy arguments (duration and lazy) instead of the config object. .update() documentation was previously updated but .render() was left out. Since the backwards compatible change was also made to render(), this commit adds documentation for it.
Chart.js
Installation
You can download the latest version of Chart.js from the GitHub releases or use a Chart.js CDN. Detailed installation instructions can be found on the installation page.
Creating a Chart
It's easy to get started with Chart.js. All that's required is the script included in your page along with a single <canvas> node to render the chart.
In this example, we create a bar chart for a single dataset and render that in our page. You can see all the ways to use Chart.js in the usage documentation
<canvas id="myChart" width="400" height="400"></canvas>
<script>
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext('2d');
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
backgroundColor: [
'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)',
