From question ChartJS: How to set fixed Y axis max and min I'm attempting to limit the y axis values using:
ticks : {
max : 200,
min : -200
}
This is in order to prevent the charing "jumping" on incoming data to match the y-axis values range. If there is an alternative to prevent the data jumping please suggest, I assume setting max and min y values will prevent the chart "jumping" as the range is set to a static, rather than dynamic value.

Setting the max and min y-axis values does not appear to fix the issue. How to prevent the chart from "jumping" on incoming data?
