Allow this series' points to be selected by clicking on the markers, bars or pie slices.
Enable or disable the initial animation when a series is displayed. The animation can also be set as a configuration object. Please note that this option only applies to the initial animation of the series itself. For other animations, see chart.animation and the animation parameter under the API methods. The following properties are supported:. <dl>. <dt>duration</dt>.
Math
object. See the easing demo.For some series, there is a limit that shuts down initial animation by default when the total number of points in the chart is too high. For example, for a column chart and its derivatives, animation doesn't run if there is more than 250 points totally. To disable this cap, set animationLimit
to Infinity
.
The color of the border surrounding each column or bar.. .
In styled mode, the border stroke can be set with the .highcharts-point
rule.
The corner radius of the border surrounding each column or bar.
The width of the border surrounding each column or bar.. .
In styled mode, the stroke width can be set with the .highcharts-point
rule.
A class name to apply to the series' graphical elements.
The main color or the series. In line type series it applies to the line and the point markers unless otherwise specified. In bar type series it applies to the bars unless a color is specified per point. The default value is pulled from the options.colors
array.. .
In styled mode, the color can be defined by the colorIndex option. Also, the series color can be set with the .highcharts-series
, .highcharts-color-{n}
, .highcharts-{type}-series
or .highcharts-series-{n}
class, or individual classes given by the className
option.
When using automatic point colors pulled from the options.colors
. collection, this option determines whether the chart should receive . one color per series or one color per point.
Styled mode only. A specific color index to use for the series, so its graphic representations are given the class name highcharts-color-{n}
.
A series specific or series type specific color set to apply instead of the global colors when colorByPoint is true.
When true, each column edge is rounded to its nearest pixel in order to render sharp on screen. In some cases, when there are a lot of densely packed columns, this leads to visible difference in column widths or distance between columns. In these cases, setting crisp
to false
may look better, even though each column is rendered blurry.
When the series contains less points than the crop threshold, all points are drawn, event if the points fall outside the visible plot area at the current zoom. The advantage of drawing all points (including markers and columns), is that animation is performed on updates. On the other hand, when the series contains more points than the crop threshold, the series data is cropped to only contain points that fall within the plot area. The advantage of cropping away invisible points is to increase performance on large series. .
You can set the cursor to "pointer" if you have click events attached to the series, to signal to the user that the points and lines can be clicked.
Options for the series data labels, appearing next to each data point.. .
In styled mode, the data labels can be styled wtih the .highcharts-data-label-box
and .highcharts-data-label
class names (see example).
Depth of the columns in a 3D column chart. Requires highcharts-3d.js
.
Requires Accessibility module. A description of the series to add to the screen reader information about the series.
3D columns only. The color of the edges. Similar to borderColor
, except it defaults to the same color as the column.
3D columns only. The width of the colored edges.
Enable or disable the mouse tracking for a specific series. This includes point tooltips and click events on graphs and points. For large datasets it improves performance.
By default, series are exposed to screen readers as regions. By enabling this option, the series element itself will be exposed in the same way as the data points. This is useful if the series is not used as a grouping entity in the chart, but you still want to attach a description to the series.. Requires the Accessibility module.
Determines whether the series should look for the nearest point in both dimensions or just the x-dimension when hovering the series. Defaults to 'xy'
for scatter series and 'x'
for most other series. If the data has duplicate x-values, it is recommended to set this to 'xy'
to allow hovering over all points..
Applies only to series types using nearest neighbor search (not direct hover) for tooltip.
Whether to use the Y extremes of the total chart width or only the zoomed area when zooming in on parts of the X axis. By default, the Y axis adjusts to the min and max of the visible data. Cartesian series only.
Padding between each value groups, in x axis units.
The spacing between columns on the Z Axis in a 3D chart. Requires highcharts-3d.js
.
Whether to group non-stacked columns or to let them render independent of each other. Non-grouped columns will be laid out individually and overlap each other.
An array specifying which option maps to which key in the data point array. This makes it convenient to work with unstructured data arrays from different sources.
The id of another series to link to. Additionally, the value can be ":previous" to link to the previous series. When two series are linked, only the first one appears in the legend. Toggling the visibility of this also toggles the linked series.
The maximum allowed pixel width for a column, translated to the height of a bar in a bar chart. This prevents the columns from becoming too wide when there is a small number of points in the chart.
The minimal height for a column or width for a bar. By default, 0 values are not shown. To visualize a 0 (or close to zero) point, set the minimal point length to a pixel value like 3. In stacked column charts, minPointLength might not be respected for tightly packed values.
The color for the parts of the graph or points that are below the threshold.
Properties for each single point
Same as accessibility.pointDescriptionFormatter, but for an individual series. Overrides the chart wide configuration.
If no x values are given for the points in a series, pointInterval defines. the interval of the x values. For example, if a series contains one value. every decade starting from year 0, set pointInterval to 10..
Since Highcharts 4.1, it can be combined with pointIntervalUnit
to draw irregular intervals.
On datetime series, this allows for setting the pointInterval to irregular time units, day
, month
and year
. A day is usually the same as 24 hours, but pointIntervalUnit also takes the DST crossover into consideration when dealing with local time. Combine this option with pointInterval
to draw weeks, quarters, 6 months, 10 years etc.
Padding between each column or bar, in x axis units.
Possible values: null
, "on"
, "between"
..
In a column chart, when pointPlacement is "on"
, the point will not create any padding of the X axis. In a polar column chart this means that the first column points directly north. If the pointPlacement is "between"
, the columns will be laid out between ticks. This is useful for example for visualising an amount between two points in time or in a certain sector of a polar chart..
Since Highcharts 3.0.2, the point placement can also be numeric, where 0 is on the axis value, -0.5 is between this value and the previous, and 0.5 is between this value and the next. Unlike the textual options, numeric point placement options won't affect axis padding..
Note that pointPlacement needs a pointRange to work. For column series this is computed, but for line-type series it needs to be set..
Defaults to null
in cartesian charts, "between"
in polar charts.
The X axis range that each point is valid for. This determines the width of the column. On a categorized axis, the range will be 1 by default (one category unit). On linear and datetime axes, the range will be computed as the distance between the two closest data points.
If no x values are given for the points in a series, pointStart defines on what value to start. For example, if a series contains one yearly value starting from 1945, set pointStart to 1945.
A pixel value specifying a fixed width for each column or bar. When null
, the width is calculated from the pointPadding
and groupPadding
.
Whether to select the series initially. If showCheckbox
is true, the checkbox next to the series name will be checked for a selected series.
Whether to apply a drop shadow to the graph line. Since 2.3 the shadow can be an object configuration containing color
, offsetX
, offsetY
, opacity
and width
.
If true, a checkbox is displayed next to the legend item to allow selecting the series. The state of the checkbox is determined by the selected
option.
Whether to display this particular series or series type in the legend. The default value is true
for standalone series, false
for linked series.
If set to True
, the accessibility module will skip past the points in this series for keyboard navigation.
When this is true, the series will not cause the Y axis to cross the zero plane (or threshold option) unless the data actually crosses the plane.. .
For example, if softThreshold
is false
, a series of 0, 1, 2, 3 will make the Y axis show negative values according to the minPadding
option. If softThreshold
is true
, the Y axis starts at 0.
Whether to stack the values of each series on top of each other. Possible values are null to disable, "normal" to stack by value or "percent". When stacking is enabled, data must be sorted in ascending X order.
A wrapper object for all the series options in specific states.
Sticky tracking of mouse events. When true, the mouseOut
event. on a series isn't triggered until the mouse moves over another series, or out. of the plot area. When false, the mouseOut
event on a series is. triggered when the mouse leaves the area around the series' graph or markers.. This also implies the tooltip. When stickyTracking
is false and tooltip.shared
is false, the . tooltip will be hidden when moving the mouse between series. Defaults to true for line and area type series, but to false for columns, pies etc.
The Y axis value to serve as the base for the columns, for distinguishing between values above and below a threshold. If null
, the columns extend from the padding Y axis minimum.
A configuration object for the tooltip rendering of each single series. Properties are inherited from tooltip, but only the following properties can be defined on a series level.
When a series contains a data array that is longer than this, only one dimensional arrays of numbers,. or two dimensional arrays with x and y values are allowed. Also, only the first. point is tested, and the rest are assumed to be the same format. This saves expensive. data checking and indexing in long series. Set it to 0
disable.
Set the initial visibility of the series.
Defines the Axis on which the zones are applied.
An array defining zones within a series. Zones can be applied to the X axis, Y axis or Z axis for bubbles, according to the zoneAxis
option.. .
In styled mode, the color zones are styled with the .highcharts-zone-{n}
class, or custom classed from the className
option (view live demo).
