I would like to know if we can enable or disable WebGL manually in LightningChart JS. The question is because I don´t know if the library is actually printing series with WebGL or isn´t.

Thank you.

There is no way to disable WebGL in the LightningChart JS library itself. It requires WebGL to work properly.

It is possible to disable WebGL from Chrome with --disable-3d-apis mand line switch. (source) When launching chrome with that switch, make sure to close all other chrome instances as otherwise the mand line switch will not take effect.

To disable WebGL in Firefox, open about:config page and search for webgl.disabled and set that flag to true.

When the 3D api's are disabled, LightningChart JS will fail to render and will throw an error.
