Chart.js : straight lines instead of curves

Question

I'm using Chart.JS to plot a dataset,

However I got a smooth effect !

Here is the curve I've got :

Here is my code :

function plotChart(data, labels) {      var lineChartData = {         "datasets": [{             "data": data,             "pointStrokeColor": "#fff",             "fillColor": "rgba(220,220,220,0.5)",             "pointColor": "rgba(220,220,220,1)",             "strokeColor": "rgba(220,220,220,1)"         }],         "labels": labels     };      var myLine = new Chart(document.getElementById("canvas").getContext("2d")).Line(lineChartData);  } 

How can I have straight lines instead of curves ?

Thank you

Solution for Version 1 (old charts version)

According to documentation on chartjs.org

you can set the 'bezierCurve' in options and pass it in when you create the chart.

bezierCurve: false 

eg:

var options = {     //Boolean - Whether the line is curved between points     bezierCurve : false }; var myLine = new Chart(document.getElementById("canvas").getContext("2d")).Line(lineChartData, options); 

Update for version 2

According to updated documentation for Line Configuration in global options

Name        Type    Default Description tension     Number  0.4     Default bezier curve tension. Set to 0 for no bezier curves. 

eg:

var options = {     elements: {         line: {             tension: 0         }     } }; 

And also directly in the Dataset Structure by setting lineTension to 0 (zero).

Property        Type    Usage lineTension     Number  Bezier curve tension of the line. Set to 0 to draw straightlines.                          This option is ignored if monotone cubic interpolation is used.                          Note This was renamed from 'tension' but the old name still works. 

An example data object using these attributes is shown below.

var lineChartData = {     labels: labels,     datasets: [         {             label: "My First dataset",             lineTension: 0,                        data: data,         }     ] };
