The following example creates a simple scatter chart with a single dataset. The data values consist of a sequence of numbers generated for the x property, and the sine function of each number for the y property:

const dataset = []; for(let i = 0; i <= 360; i+= 5) {     const point = {         x: i,         y: Math.sin(i * Math.PI / 180)     }     dataset.push(point); }  const dataObj = {     datasets: [         {             data: dataset,             pointRadius: 2,             backgroundColor: 'red'         }     ] }  const chartObj = {     type: "scatter", data: ...
