 The [annotation](#annotation) option context is passed to scriptable options in all other cases, except when resolving `id`, `type` or adjusting scale ranges. The same values resolved in `afterDataLimits` with [chart](#chart) context are again evaluated in `afterUpdate` with [annotation](#annotation) context.
