/*Vue & Vue-Chart.JS
I have resonsive layout and the charts would scale with parent container.
When a user would print the chart I tried resizing it with JS in the 
beforeprint and afterprint window listeners, This caused a shift in the chart
position in the print preview. If you need to re-render/resize the chart it
is easier to convert the canvas to a image. */

//DoughnutChart.js ()
// I will only show the key parts
import { Doughnut } from 'vue-chartjs'
export default {
	extends: Doughnut
  	props: {
		...
  		//chartId is a prop for vue-chart.js.
  		//Give it a unique id if you have multiple charts on the page
  		chartId: {
			type: String,
			required: true

     methods: {
     	beforePrintResizeCharts() {
