Setting width and height [closed]

I'm trying out the example code for Chart.js given in the docs.

Width and height is specified inline on the canvas element at 400px/400px.

But when rendering the chart it's blown up to full page width, and cuts off the far right end.

How/where am I supposed to control the width/height of the chart?

Solution 1:

You can override the canvas style width !important ...

canvas{

  width:1000px !important;
  height:600px !important;

}

also

specify responsive:true, property under options..

options: {
    responsive: true,
    maintainAspectRatio: false,
    scales: {
        yAxes: [{
            ticks: {
                beginAtZero:true
            }
        }]
    }
}

update under options added : maintainAspectRatio: false,

Solution 2:

You can also simply surround the chart with container (according to official doc http://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/general/responsive.html#important-note)

<div class="chart-container">
    <canvas id="myCanvas"></canvas>
</div>

CSS

.chart-container {
    width: 1000px;
    height:600px
}

and with options

responsive:true
maintainAspectRatio: false
