Default options can now be accessed by importing `core/core.defaults`. The returned object acts as a singleton and is populated when importing classes that expose their own default values (meaning that importing only `code.defaults` results in an empty object). Also make `Chart.Ticks` and `Chart.Interaction` importable since existing defaults rely on these values.
Add the `defaults._set` method that make easier declaring new defaults by merging given values with existing ones for a specific scope (`global`, `scale`, `bar`, etc).
Properly export helpers and remove dependencies to `Chart.helpers`. Helpers can now be accessed from `src/helpers/index.js` (`var helpers = require('path/to/helpers/index')`, instead of `var helpers = Chart.helpers`).
For consistency with `valueOrDefault`, `valueAtIndexOrDefault` now returns null if `value` (expected array) is null. Also get rid of the superfluous `get` prefix in `getValueOrDefault` and `getValueAtIndexOrDefault`.
Move some of the "core" and "canvas" utils in `helpers.core.js` and `helpers.canvas.js` and introduce the new `isNullOrUndef` and `isObject` helpers. Deprecate `indexOf` and rename `drawRoundedRectangle` to `roundedRect` which now creates a simple `rect` path if radius is 0. Write missing unit tests for the moved helpers.
Animation callbacks now receives `animationObject` directly with a reference on the associated chart (`animation.chart`), which deprecates `animation.animationObject` and `animation.chartInstance`. Also fix missing `onComplete` animation argument and make sure that an animation object is passed even when animations are disabled.
* Added borderDash support for grid lines (#3136)
* Save and restore context to prevent border dash being applied to other elements
* Adds support for borderDashOffset, checks for setLineDash (IE9/IE10)
* Fixes tests
This change allows for smaller minified code in the final version, resulting in a smaller file size. Some files had previously used _this, but that has been changed to me to keep consistency throughout the project.
Usage: If a label is an `array` as opposed to a `string` i.e. `[["June","2015"], "July"]` then each element is treated as a seperate line. The appropriate calculations are made to determine the correct height and width, and rotation is still supported.
