How can I use the animation "collections"?

I’m going to use the collections at animation level. Reading the documentation, it seems that you can assign a name to an object into animation options and this object should contain multiple properties, identified by properties array.

Therefore I’m trying to add to chart options the following animation configuration:

animation: {
      mycolors : {
	      properties: ['backgroundColor'],
	      type: 'color',
	      from: 'black',
	      duration: 5000,
	      loop: true
      },
},

but my animation configuration is ignored.

Instead, using the same configuration, setting colors as collection name, it works.

animation: {
      colors : {
	      properties: ['backgroundColor'],
	      type: 'color',
	      from: 'black',
	      duration: 5000,
	      loop: true
      },
},

Then I have the doubt if the collection name must be colors or numbers (therefore are fixed) or if I can use different names. And if I can use different names, how is the animation engine aware about which collection should be used?

Documentation is probably the issue. Maybe you could take a look at it now that you know how it works? 😃

Yes, but let me finish the implementation on the lib (I’m completing the work with the new 3.0.0 features) and then I’ll propose some updates (by PR related to this issue that I’ll reopen) on the doc. Ok?

But now, having a look to the same sample, where you are not resetting the colors.properties, it does not work.

Sorry, did not mean to save that one. Added colors: false (which works also) to the pen.
