Disabling Animations when Updating a Chart

[ehildebrandtrojo]

Documentation Is:

• Missing or needed?
• Confusing
• Not sure?

Please Explain in Detail...

Hello,

I am plotting a line graph and would like to disable the 'pop-up' animation when I add a point to my chart. Looking through the docs, I found the following which seems to address the issue (please let me know if this isn't the fix I'm looking for),

Sometimes when a chart updates, you may not want an animation. To achieve this you can call update with 'none' as mode.

I tried adding mode: 'none' to my options dictionary, but that did not work. Does anyone have any examples/know where I should add mode: 'none' as directed by the docs?

Your Proposal for Changes

Specify where mode as 'none' should be added.

Example

You will need to pass it as an argument:

chart.update('none');

Example is given here but I guess it might also be beneficial to place it in the updating charts section.

Oh, I see. Thank you so much! I totally missed that.
