Now we need to convert one of the datasets to a line dataset.</p><pre><code class="lang-javascript"><span class="hljs-keyword">var</span> mixedChart = <span class="hljs-keyword">new</span> Chart(ctx, {  type: <span class="hljs-string">'bar'</span>,  data: {    datasets: [{          label: <span class="hljs-string">'Bar Dataset'</span>,          data: [<span class="hljs-number">10</span>, <span class="hljs-number">20</span>, <span class="hljs-number">30</span>, <span class="hljs-number">40</span>]        }, {          label: <span class="hljs-string">'Line Dataset'</span>,          data: [<span class="hljs-number">50</span>, <span class="hljs-number">50</span>, <span class="hljs-number">50</span>, <span class="hljs-number">50</span>],          <span class="hljs-comment">// Changes this dataset to become a line</span>          type: <span class="hljs-string">'line'</span>        }],    labels: [<span class="hljs-string">'January'</span>, <span class="hljs-string">'February'</span>, <span class="hljs-string">'March'</span>, <span class="hljs-string">'April'</span>]  },  options: options});</code></pre><p>At this point we have a chart rendering how we'd like. It's important to note that the default options for a line chart are not merged in this case. Only the options for the default type are merged in. In this case, that means that the default options for a bar chart are merged because that is the type specified by the <code>type</code> field.</p><p><div class="chartjs-wrapper"><canvas id="chartjs-7" class="chartjs" width="undefined" height="undefined"></canvas><script>new Chart(document.getElementById("chartjs-7"),{"type":"bar","data":{"labels":["January","February","March","April"],"datasets":[{"label":"Bar Dataset","data":[10,20,30,40],"borderColor":"rgb(255, 99, 132)","backgroundColor":"rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)"},{"label":"Line Dataset","data":[50,50,50,50],"type":"line","fill":false,"borderColor":"rgb(54, 162, 235)"}]},"options":{"scales":{"yAxes":[{"ticks":{"beginAtZero":true}}]}}});</script></div></p>                                                                </section>                                </div>    <div class="search-results">        <div class="has-results">                        <h1 class="search-results-title"><span class='search-results-count'></span> results matching "<span class='search-query'></span>"</h1>            <ul class="search-results-list"></ul>                    </div>        <div class="no-results">                        <h1 class="search-results-title">No results matching "<span class='search-query'></span>"</h1>                    </div>    </div></div>                        </div>                    </div>                            </div>                                            <a href="area.html" class="navigation navigation-prev " aria-label="Previous page: Area">                    <i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i>                </a>                                                <a href="../axes/" class="navigation navigation-next " aria-label="Next page: Axes">                    <i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i>                </a>                                        </div>    <script>        var gitbook = gitbook || [];
