Render methods in React Chart component

3 Feb 20261 minute to read

Chart uses following two rendering methods.

• SVG
• Canvas

SVG

SVG is used to render the Chart by default for all browsers except IE8 and older versions.

Canvas

Switch between SVG and Canvas rendering by using the enableCanvas option. The canvas mode is useful in the following scenarios:

• Plotting large number of data points.
• Performing high frequency live updates.

Limitations

• Animation is not supported in canvas mode.

  Note: Canvas rendering improves performance for very large datasets or high-frequency updates but may limit certain SVG-specific features.
