How it works

Chart object model allows you to change chart settings on-the-fly without reloading or woriking with initial settings, this is described in Updating Chart using Object Model article. Several other samples in this section show how this can be used.

This sample merely reads the object model and shows it as JSON string for demonstration purposes.

Note: you can work with objectModel only if needConfig is set to true.
