Missing animation property in PlotOptionsBoxplot

[javier-godoy]

The animation property (enable or disable the initial animation when a series is displayed) is missing from PlotOptionsBoxplot. Note that chart.animation does not affect the initial series animation.

Applies to: Vaadin charts 4.2.0

We need to investigate why it was left out.

HighCharts documentation says the following. The interesting note is the one about IE. In Vaadin 7 we supported old IE browsers and in Vaadin 8 IE11 is still supported. So if this feature is disabled in those, we probably have wanted offer consistency accross browsers.

plotOptions.boxplot.animation
Enable or disable the initial animation when a series is displayed. The animation can also be set as a configuration object. Please note that this option only applies to the initial animation of the series itself. For other animations, see chart.animation and the animation parameter under the API methods. The following properties are supported:

duration: The duration of the animation in milliseconds.

easing: Can be a string reference to an easing function set on the Math object or a function. See the Custom easing function demo below.

Due to poor performance, animation is disabled in old IE browsers for several chart types.

Workaround:

PlotOptionsBoxplot options = new PlotOptionsBoxplot() {
    boolean animation = false;

    public boolean isAnimation() {
        return animation;
    }

    public void setAnimation(boolean animation) {
        this.animation = animation;
    }
};
