Is it possible to capture double click on a point element

[samcov]

I see the "Click" event, but see no way to capture a double click.

Is there one internal to Chart.js?

No but you can use a custom plugin that listens to the afterEvent hook. Here you can check the event type if it is a double click event.

See this stack answer for an example of a plugin that catches all events: https://stackoverflow.com/a/70154204/8682983

I'll have to look at that further, in the demo, the double click event didn't appear to show, but I'll see.

That is because by default chart.js only listens to these events: ['mousemove', 'mouseout', 'click', 'touchstart', 'touchmove'], You can add extra events the chart has to listen to yourself in options.events. Supported events can be found here: https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/blob/master/types/index.esm.d.ts#L1353-L1365

Fiddle logging only the dbclick event but listening to also default ones: https://jsfiddle.net/Leelenaleee/4bt3ms76/5/

I checked, this solution is not working for double click, it only recognizes a click event. Chartjs is likely eating this event.

I have two other things I'll try.

1. Use the click event that's supported and add some additional logic around it to do what I'm trying to do, or
2. Look into using a right click, which chartjs doesn't appear to use at all.

What do you mean it's not working?

If you double-click the area you can see the console logs dblclick as event type and the X and Y of the double click

I'll take another look, but you've been GREAT!!!

From what you've given me, I can solve my problem.

Thanks so much!!!
