Set ID of the generated CANVAS object

[MichaelCN]

Hi CanvasJS Support Forum,

is there any possibility to set the ID of the HTML CANVAS object that is created by
var chart = new CanvasJS.Chart("chartContainer", {... ?

The name “chartContainer” just labels the DIV, that contains the CANVAS.
​<div class=​"canvasjs-chart-container" style=​"position:​ relative;​ text-align:​ left;​ cursor:​ auto;​">​

It would be nice for us, if the generated CANVAS itself could be labelled with an ID.

i.e.: <canvas id="myChartContainer" class=​"canvasjs-chart-canvas" width=​"1234" height=​"370" style=​"position:​ absolute;​">​

Is there any possibility to do that?

Reason: We are trying to auto-zoom (strechX, strechY) the chart in dependency of another, existing canvas object on the page.
Therefore it would be required to have a handle to the CANVAS container of the graph.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Michael Mann

Michael,

Yes, you can set ID for individual chart-canvas using chart.canvas.setAttribute("id", "chartCanvas"). Please take a look at this JSFiddle for complete code.
