Chart.js: Dynamic Changing of Chart Type (Line to Bar as Example)

Question

I am trying to hot swap chart types based on select box changes. If data needs to be updated, it changes.

So for example, on page load I create a chart like this:

Just to follow up that this is now fixed in v.2.1.3, as followed through by https://stackoverflow.com/users/239375/nathan

document.getElementById('changeToLine').onclick = function() {
  myChart.destroy();
  myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'line',
    data: chartData
  });
};

Confirmed fixed in latest version. Check out http://codepen.io/anon/pen/ezJGPB and press the button under the chart to change it from a bar to a line chart.
