Toggling Numerals during a real-time stream

In addition to the query string parameter, if you’re sending real-time streaming data, you can turn Numerals on or off at any point during the stream. To do so, send the following JSON message to the websocket:

1
{
2
  "type": "Configure",
3
  "features": {
4
    "numerals": true
5
  }
6
}

Numerals can be turned on and off multiple times during a stream if desired.
