Bar Chart help, shortcode not appearing correctly

    I created a chart, beginning with the sample, with four columns (years is the label), and 3 sets of data per year.
    For some reason, I’m still seeing 4 sets of data.

    Is it possibly because the sample shortcode chart I started out with had four sets of data, and that got cached in the javascript on my site?
    Here’s the url:

    i’m a total newbie, and just started playing around with some of the shortcode parameters available, and trying to figure those out.

    My shortcode looks like this:
    [wp_charts title=”barchart” type=”bar” align=”alignright” width=”640px” margin=”5px 20px” datasets=”71,49,6 next 118,56,7 next 121,81,12 next 96,55,8″ labels=”2012,2013,2014,2015″ scaleoverride=”true” scalesteps=”15″ scalestepwidth=”10″ scalestartvalue=”0″]

    Thanks for any help.

    Added another year to the label, and another set of data for that year.
    Appears even more whacked now:
    [wp_charts title=”barchart” type=”bar” align=”alignnone” width=”640px” margin=”5px 20px” datasets=”86,58,10 next 71,49,6 next 118,56,7 next 121,81,12 next 96,55,8″ labels=”2011,2012,2013,2014,2015″ scaleoverride=”true” scalesteps=”15″ scalestepwidth=”10″ scalestartvalue=”0″ colors=”#69D2E7,#E0E4CC,#F38630″]

    Maybe something to do with my widths is messed up, going to try simplifying the code then… [grrr…..]

    Ok, I’m not understanding why datasets and labels are related then.
    If I want to show 7 years, and only 3 numbers in the dataset for each, shouldn’t that be possible???

    It seems like the labels is denoting or creating how many get showed in the data set, no matter if I only have three integers separated by the next operator in the short code or not…. ???
    What am i missing?

    Apologies, my chart turned out, great, haven’t published it yet.
    I was doing my data-sets wrong.
    Each year in my chart had 3 pieces of data.
    I was grouping each years data, rather than grouping.
    Dataset one for all years, dataset two, and dataset three.
    My chart looks awesome now.

    On another note, Label Key’s on the Chart.js project look just awesome:
    https://themes.themewaves.com/mixin/features/infographic-elements/
    When you hover the bar chart on that page for example you see them.
    Even something less awesome would be nice to have a key tooltip hover up like that.

    IS there anyway to implement a key, I know it’s been asked for and promised alot, has anyone ever done it, and got a key to show up somehow???

    Thanks for the project, awesome.
