What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
It would be very useful to have a quick-option to turn animations on/off -- mostly for the sake of performance.

[animation] = "animation"

//options
animation =  false;

This would help in situations where performance may be a concern, or if a chart is being used multiple times on the same view/page. For example, I am using a normalized horizontal bar chart in a table column/cell (one per row) to represent percentages of the relevant data, and 25 rows of them animating at the same time is bit much. I realize this may be a unique use-case; however, turning animations off may, in some cases, be just as important as their glamour.

If there is already an easy way to turn animations off, it is not currently documented.

This is a valid feature request. We are waiting for the new animation features to land in angular so we can improve our animations. I agree there should be an option to disable them.

I'd also like to see a way to disable the data-point behaviours in the Angular 2 branch, if that's feasible.

Attached shows attempted use of gauge. If animation cannot be disabled that pretty much makes e.g. the gauge unusable, as on every update the gauge redraws from position 0. Even a quick hack to disable animations might allow us to proceed w/ ngx-charts, please advise
