120<p>Dygraphs tries to do a good job of displaying your data without any further configuration. But inevitably, you're going to want to tinker. Dygraphs provides a rich set of options for configuring its display and behavior.</p>

122<a name="usage"></a><h3>Usage</h3>
123<p>You specify options in the third parameter to the dygraphs constructor:</p>

126 {
127 option1: value1,
128 option2: value2,
129 ...
130 });
131</pre>
132
133<p>After you've created a Dygraph, you can change an option by calling the <code>updateOptions</code> method:</p>
134<pre>g.updateOptions({
135 new_option1: value1,
136 new_option2: value2
137 });
