How can I achieve displaying data points on chart but Dotted? Chart.js V3.7.0


I was wondering is there an option that can make data points being displayed like this: enter image description here

and if yes, what is the option's name for xAxis?


Solution

  • You can set the showLine property to false in the root of the options for all datasets or on a per dataset level:

    const options = {
      type: 'line',
      data: {
        labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
        datasets: [{
            label: '# of Votes',
            data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
            backgroundColor: 'pink'
          },
          {
            label: '# of Points',
            data: [7, 11, 5, 8, 3, 7],
            backgroundColor: 'orange',
            showLine: false // Hide line for only this dataset
          }
        ]
      },
      options: {
        showLine: false // Hide the line for all datasets
      }
    }
    
    const ctx = document.getElementById('chartJSContainer').getContext('2d');
    new Chart(ctx, options);
    <body>
      <canvas id="chartJSContainer" width="600" height="400"></canvas>
