Re: Charts widget.
Hi Alex I've started using this, quite pleased with what it can do in terms of presentation. But it seems to me (going off the Dictionary and my own tests) that it doesn't receive any mouse messages. So clicking on any of the displayed chart components has no effect. I haven't yet investigated setting jsonoptions (as the designated way to invoke more of the chartsjs functionality).

Charts widget.
Anyone using this widget ? Is there some documentation (other than the obvious dictionary entries) about how to do different kinds of chart ? In the last 4-6 months, I've done 3 or 4 little personal projects where I wanted to create a chart, but I've not been able to figure out how to use the charts widget to do time-based charts.
