# Elements
|
|
|
|
While chart types provide settings to configure the styling of each dataset, you sometimes want to style **all datasets the same way**. A common example would be to stroke all of the bars in a bar chart with the same colour but change the fill per dataset. Options can be configured for four different types of elements: **[arc](#arc-configuration)**, **[lines](#line-configuration)**, **[points](#point-configuration)**, and **[rectangles](#rectangle-configuration)**. When set, these options apply to all objects of that type unless specifically overridden by the configuration attached to a dataset.
|
|
|
|
## Global Configuration
|
|
|
|
The element options can be specified per chart or globally. The global options for elements are defined in `Chart.defaults.global.elements`. For example, to set the border width of all bar charts globally you would do:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
Chart.defaults.global.elements.rectangle.borderWidth = 2;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Point Configuration
|
|
Point elements are used to represent the points in a line chart or a bubble chart.
|
|
|
|
Global point options: `Chart.defaults.global.elements.point`
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Default | Description
|
|
| -----| ---- | --------| -----------
|
|
| `radius` | `Number` | `3` | Point radius.
|
|
| `pointStyle` | `String` | `circle` | Point style.
|
|
| `backgroundColor` | `Color` | `'rgba(0,0,0,0.1)'` | Point fill color.
|
|
| `borderWidth` | `Number` | `1` | Point stroke width.
|
|
| `borderColor` | `Color` | `'rgba(0,0,0,0.1)'` | Point stroke color.
|
|
| `hitRadius` | `Number` | `1` | Extra radius added to point radius for hit detection.
|
|
| `hoverRadius` | `Number` | `4` | Point radius when hovered.
|
|
| `hoverBorderWidth` | `Number` | `1` | Stroke width when hovered.
|
|
|
|
## Line Configuration
|
|
Line elements are used to represent the line in a line chart.
|
|
|
|
Global line options: `Chart.defaults.global.elements.line`
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Default | Description
|
|
| -----| ---- | --------| -----------
|
|
| `tension` | `Number` | `0.4` | Bézier curve tension (`0` for no Bézier curves).
|
|
| `backgroundColor` | `Color` | `'rgba(0,0,0,0.1)'` | Line fill color.
|
|
| `borderWidth` | `Number` | `3` | Line stroke width.
|
|
| `borderColor` | `Color` | `'rgba(0,0,0,0.1)'` | Line stroke color.
|
|
| `borderCapStyle` | `String` | `'butt'` | Line cap style (see [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/API/CanvasRenderingContext2D/lineCap)).
|
|
| `borderDash` | `Array` | `[]` | Line dash (see [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CanvasRenderingContext2D/setLineDash)).
|
|
| `borderDashOffset` | `Number` | `0` | Line dash offset (see [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CanvasRenderingContext2D/lineDashOffset)).
|
|
| `borderJoinStyle` | `String` | `'miter` | Line join style (see [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CanvasRenderingContext2D/lineJoin)).
|
|
| `capBezierPoints` | `Boolean` | `true` | `true` to keep Bézier control inside the chart, `false` for no restriction.
|
|
| `fill` | `Boolean/String` | `true` | Fill location: `'zero'`, `'top'`, `'bottom'`, `true` (eq. `'zero'`) or `false` (no fill).
|
|
| `stepped` | `Boolean` | `false` | `true` to show the line as a stepped line (`tension` will be ignored).
|
