117<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>
118
119<a name="usage"><h3>Usage</h3>
120<p>You specify options in the third parameter to the dygraphs constructor:
121<pre>g = new Dygraph(div,
122 data,
123 {
124 option1: value1,
125 option2: value2,
126 ...
127 });
128</pre>
129
130After you've created a Dygraph, you can change an option by calling the <code>updateOptions</code> method:
131<pre>g.updateOptions({
132 new_option1: value1,
133 new_option2: value2
134 });
135</pre>
