Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`<H extends EventHandler> HandlerRegistration`	`addHandler(H handler, GwtEvent.Type<H> type)` Adds this handler to the widget.
`void`	`clear()` Will clear the chart canvas.
`void`	`destroy()` Use this to destroy any chart instances that are created.
`void`	`draw()` Draws the chart
`String`	`generateLegend()` Returns an HTML string of a legend for that chart.
`Canvas`	`getCanvas()` Returns the canvas element used to draw the chart.
`Data`	`getData()` Returns the data object with all passed datasets.

`ChartOptions`	`getDefaultChartOptions()` Returns the default options created based on chart type.
`DatasetItem`	`getElementAtEvent(ChartNativeEvent event)` Calling on your chart instance passing an argument of an event, will return the single element at the event position. If there are multiple items within range, only the first is returned.
`List<DatasetItem>`	`getElementsAtEvent(ChartNativeEvent event)` Looks for the element under the event point, then returns all elements at the same data index. Calling it on your chart instance passing an argument of an event, will return the point elements that are at that the same position of that event.

`void`	`render(UpdateConfiguration config)` Triggers a redraw of all chart elements.
`void`	`reset()` Reset the chart to it's state before the initial animation.
`void`	`resize()` Use this to manually resize the canvas element.
