myChart.options.elements.point.radius = 5; then chart.update()

[heavyStuff3000]

Expected behavior

when I call myChart.options.elements.point.radius = 5; to shrink a point on the chart and then I call chart.update() the points are supposed to shrink, but they don't really do it. I need to put my cursor on the point, and only then it will shrink.

Current behavior

I created a chart with points sizes of 9, But later, I want to shrink the points to 5(or even hide some with a radius of 0).

When I try to shrink them I do this:

myChart.options.elements.point.radius = 5; myChart.update();

And it is half working, since the points appear at their 'new' sizes, but ONLY AFTER you hover them with your cursor.

Possible solution

Respect to all the chart.js devs community you can't believe how helpful this charting library is for me! For now I can only dream to be smart enough to contribute, so respect for all the kinds genius minds working on the project.

Context

I need to shrink the points If I put more data in the chart, and even if possible I would like to delete some of them big giving them a radius of 0

You could just handle it in the original function too:

Anyway, it looks like there is an issue switching from scriptable to primitive value.

Thank you so much for your contributions. Also didn't expect this to get someone attention in less than 10 minutes!

As a thanks you need to listen to that, i'm pretty sure thoses who made this are on the same level as you are about programming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ted2nlBSSRU&ab_channel=dancewiththedead

But anyway, do I close this? First time on gitHub. Many thanks again for everything

No, we should keep this open so that we can fix the underlying issue when switching from a scriptable value to a primitive
