Drawing with canvasjs?

[cshickman]

Hello,

From my investigating, it seems very clear to me that CanvasJS is built upon the regular HTML5 canvas framework. As there are some things CanvasJS doesn’t do that I would like to be able to do, I thought that maybe I could do regular canvas drawing/rendering on top of CanvasJS charts.

Could someone tell me the correct syntax to do this? For example, I’ve tried this…

//renders the outer donut
        var finalOuterChart = new CanvasJS.Chart(containers[0], outerDoughnutChart);
        finalOuterChart.render();
        var canvas = finalOuterChart.ctx.canvas;
        var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
        context.moveTo(50, 50);
        context.lineTo(62, 62);
        context.stroke();

That doesn’t seem to do anything though. I’m just trying to draw a simple line for starters. I’ve tried several other methods, but have thus far been unsuccessful. A little help please?

Thanks,
Scott

@cshickman,

You can create an additional canvas and place it top of our rendering canvas. Please take a look at this jsFiddle.
