<h2>Options Reference</h2>
<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>

<a name="usage"></a><h3>Usage</h3>
<p>You specify options in the third parameter to the dygraphs constructor:</p>
<pre>g = new Dygraph(div,
                data,
                {
                  option1: value1,
                  option2: value2,
                  ...
                });
</pre>

<p>After you've created a Dygraph, you can change an option by calling the <code>updateOptions</code> method:</p>
<pre>g.updateOptions({
                  new_option1: value1,
                  new_option2: value2
                });
</pre>

<p>Some options can be set on a per-axis and per-series basis. See the docs on <a href="per-axis.html">per-axis and per-series options</a> to learn how to do this. The options which may be set in this way are marked as such on this page.</p>

<p>For options which are functions (e.g. callbacks and formatters), the value of <code>this</code> is set to the Dygraph object.</p>

<p>And, without further ado, here's the complete list of options:</p>
