A Line chart with datasets tracing sequentially

This demo shows you how you can create new effects with a little customisation and a smattering of standard JavaScript.

There's three Line chart objects and each one uses the trace() effect - however the second is delayed until the first is finished. And then the third, again using the trace() effect, is delayed until the second is finished.

Each Line object is passed all three datasets, however in each chart two of the datasets are set to use transparent as their color - so only one dataset can be seen. In the first Line chart it's the first dataset, in the second Line chart it's the second and in the third Line chart it's the third dataset.

The visible colors are gradients, as you can see. If it runs a little too slow for you on your device (on less powerful devices it can slow down a little) you can make the gradients solid colors and you can also make the sequential tracing a little delayed - so each dataset starts tracing only when the previous has finished and then a little delay too. There's a demo of the datasets tracing from the center outwards that you can see here: https://www.rgraph.net/demos/effects-line-tracecenter.html

That demo also uses the animationTraceCenter option - and this changes the trace() effect from tracing from the left hand side to tracing from the center of the chart outwards in both directions.

When the screen size is smaller the chart shrinks and the CSS float setting is removed. Because gradients are used as the fill colors these too are reset.

This is done by having each object clone its original colors so that the gradients are recreated and then redrawing the charts.

It should also be noted that the responsive functionality isn't added until the animation effects have completed. This is done by simply using the standard setTimout() function.
