The heatmap series type, a special case of a choropleth map where each point is a square colored to signify a value. Heatmaps are available both in Highmaps and in Highcharts since version 4.
The map series type is the default series type of a Highcharts map, where each point is represented by an area given by its path
option of the path option of its corresponding mapData
point.
A bubble series is a three dimensional series type where each point renders an X, Y and Z value. Each points is drawn as a bubble where the position along the X and Y axes mark the X and Y values, and the size of the bubble relates to the Z value.
Mapline series represent paths or lines in a map, all features that don't have an area. It can typically be used for rivers or roads, or for separator lines to distinguish overseas territories. For separator lines, set enableMouseTracking
to false to turn off interactivity.
A mappoint
series is a scatter series laid on top of a map, where X and Y values relate to the coordinate system established by the paths used for the main map series. In Highmaps it is typically used to mark cities. The only difference from a Highcharts scatter series is that the data labels are by default enabled and formatted to display the name of the point.. .
For documentation on how to use the mappoint series, see scatter series in the basic Highcharts API.
