Animation with ipywidget

Hello @ColasDroin, thank you very much for you feedback :) I'll look into it as soon as I have some time. I would then see if the problem is easy to fix, in which case I would add a patch to the next release. If not, I'll amend the documentation. Either way, I’ll update this issue :)

Many thanks! I just updated the code I posted above as I realised I left some undefined variables.

Hello @ColasDroin, the last version of ipychart (0.3.2) should solve this issue :)

For your information, I advise you to use options = {"animation": {"duration": 0}} when updating the chart dynamically to avoid to see an animation at each update.

Please also be careful on how you update the chart : you have to create a new object at each update. The example below illustrate this point :

# This will not work
mychart.data['datasets'][0]['data'][1]["y"] = 1

# This will not work
chart_data = mychart.data
chart_data['datasets'][0]['data'][1]["y"] = 1

# This will work, as we created a new object that we pass to the chart
new_data = copy.deepcopy(mychart.data)
new_data['datasets'][0]['data'][1]["y"] = 1
mychart.data = new_data

Do not hesitate to raise a new issue if you find a bug.
