BarChart doesn't work properly, ni the PieChart

@omarhsounalogient

You need to add isAnimationActive={false} when rendering BarChart and PieChart component in the browser.
For example -
<Bar isAnimationActive={false} dataKey="uv" fill="#8884d8" />
<Pie isAnimationActive={false} dataKey="value" nameKey="name" cx="25%" cy="50%" outerRadius={50} fill="#000" label />

Hope it helps!

I'm having the same issue with renderFn. Anyone figure this out?

I degraded the version react-pdf ,and it worked
