Animation starting point on 3.x

[RoccoMarco]

Hello there,

thanks for this amazing piece of code. I migrated recently from 2 to 3 and I noticed that the animation engine has been redesigned. I used to have a line chart where I was dynamically adding new data into the chart and updating it. On 2.x the animation was smooth as the animation starting point was on the right of the chart.

With version 3 it seems the animation always starts from the x axis creating distortion on my freshly updated dataset. Is there any way to choose the starting point/type of animation? I tried to play with duration and ease but this is not fixing. I am afraid I am missing something.

There are a lot of possibilities. Take a look at the progressive line sample

You could just disable the y-coordinate animation:

options: {
  animation: {
    y: {
      duration: 0
    }
  }
}

Thanks,
I missed that example

@kurkle is there a way to animate only one side? I migrated to 3.2.1 I could port everything but I am still struggling with the animation. I am filling the dataset from the right (end of the x,y buffer) then shifting and updating the chart.

The problem is the left side of the chart is constantly empty: the higher the duration of the animation the more it is empty.

animation duration 500ms

animation duration 5s
