Disable sap.viz BarChart animation

[guillaume-hrc]

Hi,

I followed thread but was unable to disable animation.

I need to update the chars data very frequently so animation makes the chart worthless...

I tried to "switch" animation off using:

var oPlotArea = oBarChart.getPlotArea();
 oPlotArea.destroyAnimation(); 

You can see the example of this in this JSBin

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Guillaume

So, if you would transfer the XML coding from the mentioned example to JS, it will work.

    var oBarChart = new sap.viz.ui5.Bar({

        width: "800px",

        height: "400px",

        plotArea: new sap.viz.ui5.types.Bar({         

              animation: new sap.viz.ui5.types.Bar_animation({

                dataLoading: false,

                dataUpdating: false

              })

        }),

        title: {

            visible: true,

            text: 'Total Product Sales by Unit Price'

        },

        dataset: oDataset

    });

Hi,

Just so you guys know the end of the story.

I managed to disable the animation but the sap.viz library was not "powerful" enough (or I missed something) to support updating while dragging a slider (yes, that was kind of demanding!)

Thus, I ended up building some graphs with D3.js using the fantastic examples by Mike Bostock and the result was pretty convincing! 

If I have time, I'll try wrapping them up in reusable SAPUI5 components (notice the non-committing sentence)

Best regards,

Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,

instead of destroyAnimation(), did you try destroyInteraction()?

I don't see the destroyAnimation() function in the API documentation

Hi,

Thanks but, nope, this has not the expected effect.

destroyAnimation is a method of the Bar chart's plotArea:

JsDoc Report - SAP UI development Toolkit for HTML5 - API Reference - sap.viz.ui5.types.Bar
