ggplot charts take time to load

I have added ggplot in my dashboard since they handle complex cases beautifully. 

 

They are working pretty nicely. However, they take time to load when I change the filter, like 3 - 4 seconds more than other elements. 

 

I am okay with the delay but while loading the last chart (before the new filter) remains and there is a small sign of loading on the left. I wish I could just make the old chart disappear until the new chart is loaded and bring the loading sign in the center. So that user is not confused if this the new chart or the existing one. Also, see that the new chart is loading. (So many of my dashboard users have raised this, they love the charts but this is the thing that irks them)

 

Loading sign is so small on the top left (marked). It is dynamic so these dots keep moving in a circle. Attaching the still image of the loading sign.

I understand your requirement but I'm afraid the built-in R visual doesn't support this feature. As a workaround, you may refer to custom R visual(microsoft has provided the dev tools) and build the R visual which you need manually:

So is there no quick resolution for this? Like, make the chart disappear and all?
