Chart.js has a
render
function in addition toupdate
. Unlikeupdate
, callingrender
does not recalculate the layout and update datasets, so it is far more performant in cases where only config or plugins have to be updated. However,render
does not invoke theafterScaleUpdate
hook, so callingrender
with an updated annotation config will not update the annotation, sinceelement.configure()
takes place in theafterScaleUpdate
hook.To remedy this, I've moved the
element.configure()
call to within the draw function, so that it still gets called whenrender
is called. This means that, in scenarios when only annotations need to be updated, we can now callrender
instead ofupdate
for a significant speedup in situations where layout or dataset updates are expensive.
