Setting width and height

Question

I m trying out the example code for Chart js given in the docs   Width and height is specified inline on the canvas element at 400px 400px   But when rendering the chart it s blown up to full page width  and cuts off the far right end   See example  How where am I supposed to control the width height of the chart   This is some bogus text because SO prohibits linking to Codepen otherwise

Not mentioned above but using max-width or max-height on the canvas element is also a possibility

I cannot believe nobody talked about using a relative parent element   Code      lt div class  chart-container  style  position  relative  height 40vh  width 80vw  gt     lt canvas id  chart  gt  lt  canvas gt   lt  div gt    Sources  Official documentation

You can also simply surround the chart with container  according to official doc http   www chartjs org docs latest general responsive html important-note    lt div class  chart-container  gt       lt canvas id  myCanvas  gt  lt  canvas gt   lt  div gt    CSS   chart-container       width  1000px      height 600px     and with options  responsive true maintainAspectRatio  false

You can change the aspectRatio according to your needs  options        aspectRatio 4    width height

In my case  passing responsive  false under options solved the problem  I m not sure why everybody is telling you to do the opposite  especially since true is the default
