How to create chart with different color each time i visit the page
Here’s an example of the same:- http://jsfiddle.net/canvasjs/7n8BV
This page demonstrates “how to create a CanvasJS colorset” with your set of chosen colors.
In the demonstrated example/jsfiddle, I am generating some random number of colors (atleast 4), pushing them in a new ColorSet, and passing the same to be used in CanvasJs.
Since, the generation happens every time you land on the page, you experience diverse colors.

Hi,
It is possible to add an area for comments?
This area is to display the filters applied to generate the chart.
Sorry my English, is not my native language.
You can consider using subtitles for the same.
Thank you for your answer.
But this way is kind of weird the distribution of elements. It would be best if it could be placed below the graph.
My suggestion is to add an attribute to the caption that allows you to move it to the footer. Or create another element to this function.
You can place it below the graph using verticalAlign and position it horizontally using horizontalAlign property.
Thanks!
