Dynamically update values of a chartjs chart

_x000D_ _x000D_ I created an basic bar chart using chartjs and it works fine. Now I want to update the values on a time based interval. My problem is that after I created the chart, I do not know how to update its values correctly... My code: var ctx = $("#myChart").get(0).getContext("2d"); var dts = [ { fillColor: "rgba(220,220,220,0.5)", strokeColor: "rgba(220,220,220,1)", data: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0] } ]; var data = { labels: ["Core#1", "Core#2", "Core#3", "Core#4", "Total"], datasets: dts }; var chart = new Chart(ctx); chart.Bar(data); //test code setInterval( function () { data.datasets[0].data = [random(), random(), random(), random(), random()]; chart.Bar(data); },2000); in the test code, I am updating the values with datasets[0].data- is this the right way to do it? The problem with this is that everytime I call chart.Bar(), the values are reset to 0 then animated to the random value (like I am recreating the chart). This way, all animations are always from 0 to value which looks strange. I would expect that if I update a value from 50 to 10 the bar would go down to 10 from 50 and not setted to 0 then animated to 10. I did not found anything in the docs about this... am I doing something wrong or this is impossible with this library?

_x000D_ Update: Looks like chartjs has been updated (see comment below). There are some examples up that look very nice: Here's an example of updating a line chart using new data: http://jsbin.com/yitep/5/edit Here's how we can update existing data on a line chart: http://jsbin.com/yitep/4/edit Original Post As of Nov 2013, there seem to be very few options for updating charts. There is a good example here (duplicated below) of adding new points to a line chart. Still kind of jumpy but not too bad. However, I think the effect probably depends on the chart you are using. It does look like this is somewhere in the development pipeline. I don't see any indication of a release date yet though: https://github.com/nnnick/Chart.js/issues/13 [Closed as of Jul 26, 2014] JS $(document).ready(function(){ var count = 10; var data = { labels :
