View vs edit

Default: view mode

js
new Insight('#chart', { persist: false, chartData });
  • Chart draws immediately
  • No formatting toolbar
  • Hover the ChartBuddy ball for Download, Drag to slide, and Edit

Open the editor immediately

js
new Insight('#chart', {
  editable: true,
  toolbar: true, // optional; edit-mode only
  persist: false,
  chartData,
});

Switch at runtime

js
await insight.enterEditMode();
insight.mode; // 'edit'

await insight.exitEditMode(); // or use Done on the chrome ball
insight.mode; // 'view'

What edit mode is for

Interactive formatting: axes, colors, annotations, orientation, and the rest of the ChartBuddy editor. The embed package has no spreadsheet UI — you edit styling, not the underlying data grid.
