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

I cannot believe nobody talked about using a relative parent element.

Code:

<div class="chart-container" style="position: relative; height:40vh; width:80vw">
  <canvas id="chart"></canvas>
</div>

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

This helped in my case   options        responsive  true      scales            yAxes                 display  true              ticks                    min 0                  max 100

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

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

You can override the canvas style width  important      canvas     width 1000px  important    height 600px  important       also   specify responsive true  property under options    options        responsive  true      maintainAspectRatio  false      scales            yAxes                 ticks                    beginAtZero true                                    update under options added   maintainAspectRatio  false   link   http   codepen io theConstructor pen KMpqvo
