ApexCharts updateSeries()

I've been using the KyvisLabs Apex Charts for a project (since it was what the customer already had on the gateway), and things have been going pretty good with this module. The visualizations leave the default Perspective ones in the dust.

What I'm trying to implement are dynamic charts - ones that update every x minutes without reloading the entire chart. I can see from reading the Apex Charts docs that there are two methods that are of interest to me:

updateSeries()

and

appendSeries()

But.... I don't know how to use them - is there a specific way to call either of those methods from Perspective? I know there are events that I can enable, then right-click on the chart -> Configure events on. However, the updateSeries function seems different than that - it is what triggers the chart events (specifically, updated).

Are those methods a moot point in Perspective, and they get replaced with Ignition bindings?

Looking at the docs for that, it is updating the actual data for the chart.
Can you just refresh the databindings every x minutes?
