It is recommended to get Chart.js this way. npm npm install chart.js --save Bower bower install chart.js --save CDN CDNJS Chart.js built files are available on CDNJS: https://cdnjs.com/libraries/Chart.js jsDelivr Chart.js built files are also available through jsDelivr: https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/chart.js?path=dist Github You can download the latest version of Chart.js on GitHub. If you download or clone the repository, you must build Chart.js to generate the dist files. Chart.js no longer comes with prebuilt release versions, so an alternative option to downloading the repo is strongly advised. Selecting the Correct Build Chart.js provides two different builds for you to choose: Stand-Alone Build, Bundled Build. Stand-Alone Build Files: dist/Chart.js dist/Chart.min.js The stand-alone build includes Chart.js as well as the color parsing library. If this version is used, you are required to include Moment.js before Chart.js for the functionality of the time axis. Bundled Build Files: dist/Chart.bundle.js dist/Chart.bundle.min.js The bundled build includes Moment.js in a single file. You should use this version if you require time axes and want to include a single file. You should not use this build if your application already included Moment.js. Otherwise, Moment.js will be included twice which results in increasing page load time and possible version compatability issues.

Creating a Chart To create a chart, we need to instantiate the Chart class. To do this, we need to pass in the node, jQuery instance, or 2d context of the canvas of where we want to draw the chart. Here's an example. // Any of the following formats may be used var ctx = document.getElementById(\"myChart\"); var ctx = document.getElementById(\"myChart\").getContext(\"2d\"); var ctx = $(\"#myChart\"); var ctx = \"myChart\"; Once you have the element or context, you're ready to instantiate a pre-defined chart-type or create your own! The following example instantiates a bar chart showing the number of votes for different colors and the y-axis starting at 0. var ctx = document.getElementById(\"myChart\"); 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)', 'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)', 'rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)', 'rgba(153, 102, 255, 0.2)', 'rgba(255, 159, 64, 0.2)' ], borderColor: [ 'rgba(255,99,132,1)', 'rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)', 'rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)', 'rgba(75, 192, 192, 1)', 'rgba(153, 102, 255, 1)', 'rgba(255, 159, 64, 1)' ], borderWidth: 1 }] }, options: { scales: { yAxes: [{ ticks: { beginAtZero:true } }] } } }); "},"general/":{"url":"general/","title":"General","keywords":"","body":"General Configuration These sections describe general configuration options that can apply elsewhere in the documentation.

"},"general/responsive.html":{"url":"general/responsive.html","title":"Responsive","keywords":"","body":"Responsive Charts When it comes to change the chart size based on the window size, a major limitation is that the canvas render size (canvas.width and .height) can not be expressed with relative values, contrary to the display size (canvas.style.width and .height). Furthermore, these sizes are independent from each other and thus the canvas render size does not adjust automatically based on the display size, making the rendering inaccurate. The following examples do not work: : invalid values, the canvas doesn't resize (example) : invalid behavior, the canvas is resized but becomes blurry (example) Chart.js provides a few options to enable responsiveness and control the resize behavior of charts by detecting when the canvas display size changes and update the render size accordingly. Configuration Options Name Type Default Description responsive Boolean true Resizes the chart canvas when its container does (important note...). responsiveAnimationDuration Number 0 Duration in milliseconds it takes to animate to new size after a resize event. maintainAspectRatio Boolean true Maintain the original canvas aspect ratio (width / height) when resizing. onResize Function null Called when a resize occurs. Gets passed two arguments: the chart instance and the new size. Important Note Detecting when the canvas size changes can not be done directly from the CANVAS element. Chart.js uses its parent container to update the canvas render and display sizes. However, this method requires the container to be relatively positioned and dedicated to the chart canvas only. Responsiveness can then be achieved by setting relative values for the container size (example): The chart can also be programmatically resized by modifying the container size: chart.canvas.parentNode.style.height = '128px'; Printing Resizeable Charts CSS media queries allow changing styles when printing a page. The CSS applied from these media queries may cause charts to need to resize. However, the resize won't happen automatically. To support resizing charts when printing, one needs to hook the onbeforeprint event and manually trigger resizing of each chart. function beforePrintHandler () { for (var id in Chart.instances) { Chart.instances[id].resize() } } "},"general/device-pixel-ratio.html":{"url":"general/device-pixel-ratio.html","title":"Pixel Ratio","keywords":"","body":"Device Pixel Ratio By default the chart's canvas will use a 1:1 pixel ratio, unless the physical display has a higher pixel ratio (e.g. Retina displays). For applications where a chart will be converted to a bitmap, or printed to a higher DPI medium it can be desirable to render the chart at a higher resolution than the default. Setting devicePixelRatio to a value other than 1 will force the canvas size to be scaled by that amount, relative to the container size.

The nearest item is determined based on the distance to the center of the chart item (point, bar). If 2 or more items are at the same distance, the one with the smallest area is used. If intersect is true, this is only triggered when the mouse position intersects an item in the graph. This is very useful for combo charts where points are hidden behind bars. var chart = new Chart(ctx, { type: 'line', data: data, options: { tooltips: { mode: 'nearest' } } }) single (deprecated) Finds the first item that intersects the point and returns it.

"},"general/colors.html":{"url":"general/colors.html","title":"Colors","keywords":"","body":"Colors When supplying colors to Chart options, you can use a number of formats. You can specify the color as a string in hexadecimal, RGB, or HSL notations. If a color is needed, but not specified, Chart.js will use the global default color. This color is stored at Chart.defaults.global.defaultColor. It is initially set to 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)' You can also pass a CanvasGradient object. You will need to create this before passing to the chart, but using it you can achieve some interesting effects. Patterns and Gradients An alternative option is to pass a CanvasPattern or CanvasGradient object instead of a string colour. For example, if you wanted to fill a dataset with a pattern from an image you could do the following. var img = new Image(); img.src = 'https://example.com/my_image.png'; img.onload = function() { var ctx = document.getElementById('canvas').getContext('2d'); var fillPattern = ctx.createPattern(img, 'repeat'); var chart = new Chart(ctx, { data: { labels: ['Item 1', 'Item 2', 'Item 3'], datasets: [{ data: [10, 20, 30], backgroundColor: fillPattern }] } }) } Using pattern fills for data graphics can help viewers with vision deficiencies (e.g. color-blindness or partial sight) to more easily understand your data. Using the Patternomaly library you can generate patterns to fill datasets. var chartData = { datasets: [{ data: [45, 25, 20, 10], backgroundColor: [ pattern.draw('square', '#ff6384'), pattern.draw('circle', '#36a2eb'), pattern.draw('diamond', '#cc65fe'), pattern.draw('triangle', '#ffce56'), ] }], labels: ['Red', 'Blue', 'Purple', 'Yellow'] }; "},"general/fonts.html":{"url":"general/fonts.html","title":"Fonts","keywords":"","body":"Fonts There are 4 special global settings that can change all of the fonts on the chart.

There are properties to control styling, fonts, the legend, etc. Global Configuration This concept was introduced in Chart.js 1.0 to keep configuration DRY, and allow for changing options globally across chart types, avoiding the need to specify options for each instance, or the default for a particular chart type. Chart.js merges the options object passed to the chart with the global configuration using chart type defaults and scales defaults appropriately. This way you can be as specific as you would like in your individual chart configuration, while still changing the defaults for all chart types where applicable. The global general options are defined in Chart.defaults.global. The defaults for each chart type are discussed in the documentation for that chart type. The following example would set the hover mode to 'nearest' for all charts where this was not overridden by the chart type defaults or the options passed to the constructor on creation.

This can be easily achieved using a callback in the config object. The default legend click handler is: function(e, legendItem) { var index = legendItem.datasetIndex; var ci = this.chart; var meta = ci.getDatasetMeta(index); // See controller.isDatasetVisible comment meta.hidden = meta.hidden === null? !ci.data.datasets[index].hidden : null; // We hid a dataset ... rerender the chart ci.update(); } Lets say we wanted instead to link the display of the first two datasets. We could change the click handler accordingly. var defaultLegendClickHandler = Chart.defaults.global.legend.onClick; var newLegendClickHandler = function (e, legendItem) { var index = legendItem.datasetIndex; if (index > 1) { // Do the original logic defaultLegendClickHandler(e, legendItem); } else { let ci = this.chart; [ci.getDatasetMeta(0), ci.getDatasetMeta(1)].forEach(function(meta) { meta.hidden = meta.hidden === null? !ci.data.datasets[index].hidden : null; }); ci.update(); } }; var chart = new Chart(ctx, { type: 'line', data: data, options: { legend: { } } }); Now when you click the legend in this chart, the visibility of the first two datasets will be linked together. HTML Legends Sometimes you need a very complex legend. In these cases, it makes sense to generate an HTML legend. Charts provide a generateLegend() method on their prototype that returns an HTML string for the legend. To configure how this legend is generated, you can change the legendCallback config property. var chart = new Chart(ctx, { type: 'line', data: data, options: { legendCallback: function(chart) { // Return the HTML string here. } } }); Note that legendCallback is not called automatically and you must call generateLegend() yourself in code when creating a legend using this method.

'nearest' will place the tooltip at the position of the element closest to the event position. New modes can be defined by adding functions to the Chart.Tooltip.positioners map. Example: /** * Custom positioner * @function Chart.Tooltip.positioners.custom * @param elements {Chart.Element[]} the tooltip elements * @param eventPosition {Point} the position of the event in canvas coordinates * @returns {Point} the tooltip position */ Chart.Tooltip.positioners.custom = function(elements, eventPosition) { /** @type {Chart.Tooltip} */ var tooltip = this; /* ... */ return { x: 0, y: 0 }; } Sort Callback Allows sorting of tooltip items. Must implement at minimum a function that can be passed to Array.prototype.sort. This function can also accept a third parameter that is the data object passed to the chart. Filter Callback Allows filtering of tooltip items. Must implement at minimum a function that can be passed to Array.prototype.filter. This function can also accept a second parameter that is the data object passed to the chart. Tooltip Callbacks The tooltip label configuration is nested below the tooltip configuration using the callbacks key. The tooltip has the following callbacks for providing text. For all functions, 'this' will be the tooltip object created from the Chart.Tooltip constructor. All functions are called with the same arguments: a tooltip item and the data object passed to the chart. All functions must return either a string or an array of strings. Arrays of strings are treated as multiple lines of text. Name Arguments Description beforeTitle Array[tooltipItem], data Returns the text to render before the title. title Array[tooltipItem], data Returns text to render as the title of the tooltip. afterTitle Array[tooltipItem], data Returns text to render after the title. beforeBody Array[tooltipItem], data Returns text to render before the body section. beforeLabel tooltipItem, data Returns text to render before an individual label. This will be called for each item in the tooltip. label tooltipItem, data Returns text to render for an individual item in the tooltip. labelColor tooltipItem, chart Returns the colors to render for the tooltip item. more... labelTextColor tooltipItem, chart Returns the colors for the text of the label for the tooltip item. afterLabel tooltipItem, data Returns text to render after an individual label. afterBody Array[tooltipItem], data Returns text to render after the body section beforeFooter Array[tooltipItem], data Returns text to render before the footer section. footer Array[tooltipItem], data Returns text to render as the footer of the tooltip. afterFooter Array[tooltipItem], data Text to render after the footer section Label Callback The label callback can change the text that displays for a given data point. A common example to round data values; the following example rounds the data to two decimal places. var chart = new Chart(ctx, { type: 'line', data: data, options: { tooltips: { callbacks: { label: function(tooltipItem, data) { var label = data.datasets[tooltipItem.datasetIndex].label || ''; if (label) { label += ': '; } label += Math.round(tooltipItem.yLabel * 100) / 100; return label; } } } } }); Label Color Callback For example, to return a red box for each item in the tooltip you could do: var chart = new Chart(ctx, { type: 'line', data: data, options: { tooltips: { callbacks: { labelColor: function(tooltipItem, chart) { return { borderColor: 'rgb(255, 0, 0)', backgroundColor: 'rgb(255, 0, 0)' } }, labelTextColor:function(tooltipItem, chart){ return '#543453'; } } } } }); Tooltip Item Interface The tooltip items passed to the tooltip callbacks implement the following interface. { // X Value of the tooltip as a string xLabel: String, // Y value of the tooltip as a string yLabel: String, // Index of the dataset the item comes from datasetIndex: Number, // Index of this data item in the dataset index: Number, // X position of matching point x: Number, // Y position of matching point y: Number, } External (Custom) Tooltips Custom tooltips allow you to hook into the tooltip rendering process so that you can render the tooltip in your own custom way. Generally this is used to create an HTML tooltip instead of an oncanvas one. You can enable custom tooltips in the global or chart configuration like so: var myPieChart = new Chart(ctx, { type: 'pie', data: data, options: { tooltips: { // Disable the on-canvas tooltip enabled: false, custom: function(tooltipModel) { // Tooltip Element var tooltipEl = document.getElementById('chartjs-tooltip'); // Create element on first render if (!tooltipEl) { tooltipEl = document.createElement('div'); tooltipEl.id = 'chartjs-tooltip'; tooltipEl.innerHTML = \"\"; document.body.appendChild(tooltipEl); } // Hide if no tooltip if (tooltipModel.opacity === 0) { tooltipEl.style.opacity = 0; return; } // Set caret Position tooltipEl.classList.remove('above', 'below', 'no-transform'); if (tooltipModel.yAlign) { tooltipEl.classList.add(tooltipModel.yAlign); } else { tooltipEl.classList.add('no-transform'); } function getBody(bodyItem) { return bodyItem.lines; } // Set Text if (tooltipModel.body) { var titleLines = tooltipModel.title || []; var bodyLines = tooltipModel.body.map(getBody); var innerHtml = ''; titleLines.forEach(function(title) { innerHtml += '' + title + ''; }); innerHtml += ''; bodyLines.forEach(function(body, i) { var colors = tooltipModel.labelColors[i]; var style = 'background:' + colors.backgroundColor; style += '; border-color:' + colors.borderColor; style += '; border-width: 2px'; var span = ''; innerHtml += '' + span + body + ''; }); innerHtml += ''; var tableRoot = tooltipEl.querySelector('table'); tableRoot.innerHTML = innerHtml; } // `this` will be the overall tooltip var position = this._chart.canvas.getBoundingClientRect(); // Display, position, and set styles for font tooltipEl.style.opacity = 1; tooltipEl.style.position = 'absolute'; tooltipEl.style.left = position.left + tooltipModel.caretX + 'px'; tooltipEl.style.top = position.top + tooltipModel.caretY + 'px'; tooltipEl.style.fontFamily = tooltipModel._bodyFontFamily; tooltipEl.style.fontSize = tooltipModel.bodyFontSize + 'px'; tooltipEl.style.fontStyle = tooltipModel._bodyFontStyle; tooltipEl.style.padding = tooltipModel.yPadding + 'px ' + tooltipModel.xPadding + 'px'; } } } }); See samples for examples on how to get started with custom tooltips. Tooltip Model The tooltip model contains parameters that can be used to render the tooltip. { // The items that we are rendering in the tooltip. See Tooltip Item Interface section dataPoints: TooltipItem[], // Positioning xPadding: Number, yPadding: Number, xAlign: String, yAlign: String, // X and Y properties are the top left of the tooltip x: Number, y: Number, width: Number, height: Number, // Where the tooltip points to caretX: Number, caretY: Number, // Body // The body lines that need to be rendered // Each object contains 3 parameters // before: String[] // lines of text before the line with the color square // lines: String[], // lines of text to render as the main item with color square // after: String[], // lines of text to render after the main lines body: Object[], // lines of text that appear after the title but before the body beforeBody: String[], // line of text that appear after the body and before the footer afterBody: String[], bodyFontColor: Color, _bodyFontFamily: String, _bodyFontStyle: String, _bodyAlign: String, bodyFontSize: Number, bodySpacing: Number, // Title // lines of text that form the title title: String[], titleFontColor: Color, _titleFontFamily: String, _titleFontStyle: String, titleFontSize: Number, _titleAlign: String, titleSpacing: Number, titleMarginBottom: Number, // Footer // lines of text that form the footer footer: String[], footerFontColor: Color, _footerFontFamily: String, _footerFontStyle: String, footerFontSize: Number, _footerAlign: String, footerSpacing: Number, footerMarginTop: Number, // Appearance caretSize: Number, cornerRadius: Number, backgroundColor: Color, // colors to render for each item in body[]. This is the color of the squares in the tooltip labelColors: Color[], // 0 opacity is a hidden tooltip opacity: Number, legendColorBackground: Color, displayColors: Boolean, } "},"configuration/elements.html":{"url":"configuration/elements.html","title":"Elements","keywords":"","body":"Elements While chart types provide settings to configure the styling of each dataset, you sometimes want to style all datasets the same way. A common example would be to stroke all of the bars in a bar chart with the same colour but change the fill per dataset. Options can be configured for four different types of elements: arc, lines, points, and rectangles. When set, these options apply to all objects of that type unless specifically overridden by the configuration attached to a dataset. Global Configuration The element options can be specified per chart or globally. The global options for elements are defined in Chart.defaults.global.elements. For example, to set the border width of all bar charts globally you would do: Chart.defaults.global.elements.rectangle.borderWidth = 2; Point Configuration Point elements are used to represent the points in a line chart or a bubble chart. Global point options: Chart.defaults.global.elements.point Name Type Default Description radius Number 3 Point radius. pointStyle String circle Point style. backgroundColor Color 'rgba(0,0,0,0.1)' Point fill color. borderWidth Number 1 Point stroke width. borderColor Color 'rgba(0,0,0,0.1)' Point stroke color. hitRadius Number 1 Extra radius added to point radius for hit detection. hoverRadius Number 4 Point radius when hovered. hoverBorderWidth Number 1 Stroke width when hovered. Point Styles The following values are supported: 'circle' 'cross' 'crossRot' 'dash' 'line' 'rect' 'rectRounded' 'rectRot' 'star' 'triangle' If the value is an image, that image is drawn on the canvas using drawImage. Line Configuration Line elements are used to represent the line in a line chart. Global line options: Chart.defaults.global.elements.line Name Type Default Description tension Number 0.4 Bézier curve tension (0 for no Bézier curves). backgroundColor Color 'rgba(0,0,0,0.1)' Line fill color. borderWidth Number 3 Line stroke width. borderColor Color 'rgba(0,0,0,0.1)' Line stroke color. borderCapStyle String 'butt' Line cap style (see MDN). borderDash Array [] Line dash (see MDN). borderDashOffset Number 0 Line dash offset (see MDN). borderJoinStyle String 'miter Line join style (see MDN). capBezierPoints Boolean true true to keep Bézier control inside the chart, false for no restriction. fill Boolean/String true Fill location: 'zero', 'top', 'bottom', true (eq.

The 'default' algorithm uses a custom weighted cubic interpolation, which produces pleasant curves for all types of datasets. The 'monotone' algorithm is more suited to y = f(x) datasets : it preserves monotonicity (or piecewise monotonicity) of the dataset being interpolated, and ensures local extremums (if any) stay at input data points. If left untouched (undefined), the global options.elements.line.cubicInterpolationMode property is used. Stepped Line The following values are supported for steppedLine: false: No Step Interpolation (default) true: Step-before Interpolation (eq. 'before') 'before': Step-before Interpolation 'after': Step-after Interpolation If the steppedLine value is set to anything other than false, lineTension will be ignored. Configuration Options The line chart defines the following configuration options. These options are merged with the global chart configuration options, Chart.defaults.global, to form the options passed to the chart. Name Type Default Description showLines Boolean true If false, the lines between points are not drawn. spanGaps Boolean false If false, NaN data causes a break in the line. Default Options It is common to want to apply a configuration setting to all created line charts. The global line chart settings are stored in Chart.defaults.line. Changing the global options only affects charts created after the change. Existing charts are not changed. For example, to configure all line charts with spanGaps = true you would do: Chart.defaults.line.spanGaps = true; Data Structure The data property of a dataset for a line chart can be passed in two formats. Number[] data: [20, 10] When the data array is an array of numbers, the x axis is generally a category. The points are placed onto the axis using their position in the array. When a line chart is created with a category axis, the labels property of the data object must be specified. Point[] data: [{ x: 10, y: 20 }, { x: 15, y: 10 }] This alternate is used for sparse datasets, such as those in scatter charts. Each data point is specified using an object containing x and y properties. Stacked Area Chart Line charts can be configured into stacked area charts by changing the settings on the y axis to enable stacking. Stacked area charts can be used to show how one data trend is made up of a number of smaller pieces. var stackedLine = new Chart(ctx, { type: 'line', data: data, options: { scales: { yAxes: [{ stacked: true }] } } }); High Performance Line Charts When charting a lot of data, the chart render time may start to get quite large. In that case, the following strategies can be used to improve performance. Data Decimation Decimating your data will achieve the best results. When there is a lot of data to display on the graph, it doesn't make sense to show tens of thousands of data points on a graph that is only a few hundred pixels wide. There are many approaches to data decimation and selection of an algorithm will depend on your data and the results you want to achieve. For instance, min/max decimation will preserve peaks in your data but could require up to 4 points for each pixel. This type of decimation would work well for a very noisy signal where you need to see data peaks. Disable Bezier Curves If you are drawing lines on your chart, disabling bezier curves will improve render times since drawing a straight line is more performant than a bezier curve. To disable bezier curves for an entire chart: new Chart(ctx, { type: 'line', data: data, options: { elements: { line: { tension: 0, // disables bezier curves } } } }); Disable Line Drawing If you have a lot of data points, it can be more performant to disable rendering of the line for a dataset and only draw points. Doing this means that there is less to draw on the canvas which will improve render performance. To disable lines: new Chart(ctx, { type: 'line', data: { datasets: [{ showLine: false, // disable for a single dataset }] }, options: { showLines: false, // disable for all datasets } }); Disable Animations If your charts have long render times, it is a good idea to disable animations. Doing so will mean that the chart needs to only be rendered once during an update instead of multiple times. This will have the effect of reducing CPU usage and improving general page performance. To disable animations new Chart(ctx, { type: 'line', data: data, options: { animation: { duration: 0, // general animation time }, hover: { animationDuration: 0, // duration of animations when hovering an item }, responsiveAnimationDuration: 0, // animation duration after a resize } }); "},"charts/bar.html":{"url":"charts/bar.html","title":"Bar","keywords":"","body":"Bar A bar chart provides a way of showing data values represented as vertical bars.

These are known as 'radial axes'. Scales in Chart.js >V2.0 are significantly more powerful, but also different than those of v1.0. Multiple X & Y axes are supported.

The suggestedMax and suggestedMin settings only change the data values that are used to scale the axis. These are useful for extending the range of the axis while maintaining the auto fit behaviour. let minDataValue = Math.min(mostNegativeValue, options.ticks.suggestedMin); let maxDataValue = Math.max(mostPositiveValue, options.ticks.suggestedMax); In this example, the largest positive value is 50, but the data maximum is expanded out to 100. However, because the lowest data value is below the suggestedMin setting, it is ignored. let chart = new Chart(ctx, { type: 'radar', data: { datasets: [{ label: 'First dataset', data: [0, 20, 40, 50] }], labels: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April'] }, options: { scale: { ticks: { suggestedMin: 50, suggestedMax: 100 } } } }); In contrast to the suggested* settings, the min and max settings set explicit ends to the axes. When these are set, some data points may not be visible. Step Size If set, the scale ticks will be enumerated by multiple of stepSize, having one tick per increment. If not set, the ticks are labeled automatically using the nice numbers algorithm. This example sets up a chart with a y axis that creates ticks at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5. let options = { scales: { yAxes: [{ ticks: { max: 5, min: 0, stepSize: 0.5 } }] } }; Angle Line Options The following options are used to configure angled lines that radiate from the center of the chart to the point labels. They can be found in the angleLines sub options. Note that these options only apply if angleLines.display is true. Name Type Default Description display Boolean true if true, angle lines are shown color Color rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) Color of angled lines lineWidth Number 1 Width of angled lines Point Label Options The following options are used to configure the point labels that are shown on the perimeter of the scale. They can be found in the pointLabels sub options. Note that these options only apply if pointLabels.display is true. Name Type Default Description callback Function Callback function to transform data labels to point labels. The default implementation simply returns the current string. fontColor Color/Color[] '#666' Font color for point labels. fontFamily String \"'Helvetica Neue', 'Helvetica', 'Arial', sans-serif\" Font family to use when rendering labels. fontSize Number 10 font size in pixels fontStyle String 'normal' Font style to use when rendering point labels.

These are available on all charts created with Chart.js, but for the examples, let's use a line chart we've made. // For example: var myLineChart = new Chart(ctx, config); .destroy() Use this to destroy any chart instances that are created. This will clean up any references stored to the chart object within Chart.js, along with any associated event listeners attached by Chart.js. This must be called before the canvas is reused for a new chart. // Destroys a specific chart instance myLineChart.destroy(); .update(config) Triggers an update of the chart. This can be safely called after updating the data object. This will update all scales, legends, and then re-render the chart. // duration is the time for the animation of the redraw in milliseconds // lazy is a boolean. if true, the animation can be interrupted by other animations myLineChart.data.datasets[0].data[2] = 50; // Would update the first dataset's value of 'March' to be 50 myLineChart.update(); // Calling update now animates the position of March from 90 to 50. Note: replacing the data reference (e.g. myLineChart.data = {datasets: [...]} only works starting version 2.6. Prior that, replacing the entire data object could be achieved with the following workaround: myLineChart.config.data = {datasets: [...]}. A config object can be provided with additional configuration for the update process. This is useful when update is manually called inside an event handler and some different animation is desired. The following properties are supported: duration (number): Time for the animation of the redraw in milliseconds lazy (boolean): If true, the animation can be interrupted by other animations easing (string): The animation easing function. See Animation Easing for possible values. Example: myChart.update({ duration: 800, easing: 'easeOutBounce' }) See Updating Charts for more details. .reset() Reset the chart to it's state before the initial animation. A new animation can then be triggered using update. myLineChart.reset(); .render(config) Triggers a redraw of all chart elements. Note, this does not update elements for new data. Use .update() in that case. See .update(config) for more details on the config object. // duration is the time for the animation of the redraw in milliseconds // lazy is a boolean. if true, the animation can be interrupted by other animations myLineChart.render({ duration: 800, lazy: false, easing: 'easeOutBounce' }); .stop() Use this to stop any current animation loop. This will pause the chart during any current animation frame. Call .render() to re-animate. // Stops the charts animation loop at its current frame myLineChart.stop(); // => returns 'this' for chainability .resize() Use this to manually resize the canvas element. This is run each time the canvas container is resized, but you can call this method manually if you change the size of the canvas nodes container element. // Resizes & redraws to fill its container element myLineChart.resize(); // => returns 'this' for chainability .clear() Will clear the chart canvas. Used extensively internally between animation frames, but you might find it useful. // Will clear the canvas that myLineChart is drawn on myLineChart.clear(); // => returns 'this' for chainability .toBase64Image() This returns a base 64 encoded string of the chart in it's current state. myLineChart.toBase64Image(); // => returns png data url of the image on the canvas .generateLegend() Returns an HTML string of a legend for that chart. The legend is generated from the legendCallback in the options. myLineChart.generateLegend(); // => returns HTML string of a legend for this chart .getElementAtEvent(e) Calling getElementAtEvent(event) on your Chart instance passing an argument of an event, or jQuery event, will return the single element at the event position. If there are multiple items within range, only the first is returned. The value returned from this method is an array with a single parameter. An array is used to keep a consistent API between the get*AtEvent methods. myLineChart.getElementAtEvent(e); // => returns the first element at the event point. To get an item that was clicked on, getElementAtEvent can be used. function clickHandler(evt) { var firstPoint = myChart.getElementAtEvent(evt)[0]; if (firstPoint) { var label = myChart.data.labels[firstPoint._index]; var value = myChart.data.datasets[firstPoint._datasetIndex].data[firstPoint._index]; } } .getElementsAtEvent(e) Looks for the element under the event point, then returns all elements at the same data index. This is used internally for 'label' mode highlighting. Calling getElementsAtEvent(event) on your Chart instance passing an argument of an event, or jQuery event, will return the point elements that are at that the same position of that event. canvas.onclick = function(evt){ var activePoints = myLineChart.getElementsAtEvent(evt); // => activePoints is an array of points on the canvas that are at the same position as the click event. }; This functionality may be useful for implementing DOM based tooltips, or triggering custom behaviour in your application. .getDatasetAtEvent(e) Looks for the element under the event point, then returns all elements from that dataset. This is used internally for 'dataset' mode highlighting myLineChart.getDatasetAtEvent(e); // => returns an array of elements .getDatasetMeta(index) Looks for the dataset that matches the current index and returns that metadata. This returned data has all of the metadata that is used to construct the chart. The data property of the metadata will contain information about each point, rectangle, etc. depending on the chart type.

When the chart data or options are changed, Chart.js will animate to the new data values and options. Adding or Removing Data Adding and removing data is supported by changing the data array. To add data, just add data into the data array as seen in this example. function addData(chart, label, data) { chart.data.labels.push(label); chart.data.datasets.forEach((dataset) => { dataset.data.push(data); }); chart.update(); } function removeData(chart) { chart.data.labels.pop(); chart.data.datasets.forEach((dataset) => { dataset.data.pop(); }); chart.update(); } Updating Options To update the options, mutating the options property in place or passing in a new options object are supported. If the options are mutated in place, other option properties would be preserved, including those calculated by Chart.js. If created as a new object, it would be like creating a new chart with the options - old options would be discarded. function updateConfigByMutating(chart) { chart.options.title.text = 'new title'; chart.update(); } function updateConfigAsNewObject(chart) { chart.options = { responsive: true, title:{ display:true, text: 'Chart.js' }, scales: { xAxes: [{ display: true }], yAxes: [{ display: true }] } } chart.update(); } Scales can be updated separately without changing other options. To update the scales, pass in an object containing all the customization including those unchanged ones. Variables referencing any one from chart.scales would be lost after updating scales with a new id or the changed type. function updateScales(chart) { var xScale = chart.scales['x-axis-0']; var yScale = chart.scales['y-axis-0']; chart.options.scales = { xAxes: [{ id: 'newId', display: true }], yAxes: [{ display: true, type: 'logarithmic' }] } chart.update(); // need to update the reference xScale = chart.scales['newId']; yScale = chart.scales['y-axis-0']; } You can also update a specific scale either by specifying its index or id. function updateScale(chart) { chart.options.scales.yAxes[0] = { type: 'logarithmic' } chart.update(); } Code sample for updating options can be found in toggle-scale-type.html.

This will render the chart synchronously and without an animation.

They have been introduced at version 2.1.0 (global plugins only) and extended at version 2.5.0 (per chart plugins and options). Using plugins Plugins can be shared between chart instances: var plugin = { /* plugin implementation */ }; // chart1 and chart2 use \"plugin\" var chart1 = new Chart(ctx, { plugins: [plugin] }); var chart2 = new Chart(ctx, { plugins: [plugin] }); // chart3 doesn't use \"plugin\" var chart3 = new Chart(ctx, {}); Plugins can also be defined directly in the chart plugins config (a.k.a. inline plugins): var chart = new Chart(ctx, { plugins: [{ beforeInit: function(chart, options) { //.. } }] }); However, this approach is not ideal when the customization needs to apply to many charts. Global plugins Plugins can be registered globally to be applied on all charts (a.k.a. global plugins): Chart.plugins.register({ // plugin implementation }); Note: inline plugins can't be registered globally. Configuration Plugin ID Plugins must define a unique id in order to be configurable. This id should follow the npm package name convention: can't start with a dot or an underscore can't contain any non-URL-safe characters can't contain uppercase letters should be something short, but also reasonably descriptive If a plugin is intended to be released publicly, you may want to check the registry to see if there's something by that name already.

The built in controller types are: Chart.controllers.line Chart.controllers.bar Chart.controllers.radar Chart.controllers.doughnut Chart.controllers.polarArea Chart.controllers.bubble For example, to derive a new chart type that extends from a bubble chart, you would do the following. // Sets the default config for 'derivedBubble' to be the same as the bubble defaults. // We look for the defaults by doing Chart.defaults[chartType] // It looks like a bug exists when the defaults don't exist Chart.defaults.derivedBubble = Chart.defaults.bubble; // I think the recommend using Chart.controllers.bubble.extend({ extensions here }); var custom = Chart.controllers.bubble.extend({ draw: function(ease) { // Call super method first Chart.controllers.bubble.prototype.draw.call(this, ease); // Now we can do some custom drawing for this dataset.

To correctly calculate the width of a bar, the controller must determine the number of datasets that map to bars. To do this, the bar controller attaches a property bar to the dataset during initialization. If you are creating a replacement or updated bar controller, you should do the same.
