    • setColorByPoint

      public abstract void setColorByPoint(Boolean colorByPoint)
      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.

      See Also:
    • setColorKey

      public abstract void setColorKey(String colorKey)

    • getColors

      public abstract Color[] getColors()
      See Also:
    • setColors

      public abstract void setColors(Color... colors)
      A series specific or series type specific color set to apply instead of the theme colors when setColorByPoint(Boolean) is true.

      public abstract Boolean getCrisp()
      See Also:
    • setCrisp

      public abstract void setCrisp(Boolean crisp)
      When true, each point or 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.

      See Also:
    • setMaxPointWidth

      public abstract void setMaxPointWidth(Number maxPointWidth)

    • getMinPointLength

      public abstract Number getMinPointLength()
      See Also:
    • setMinPointLength

      public abstract void setMinPointLength(Number minPointLength)
      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.
    • getPointInterval

      public abstract Number getPointInterval()
      See Also:
    • setPointInterval

      public abstract void setPointInterval(Number pointInterval)

      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.

      It can be combined with pointIntervalUnit to draw irregular intervals.

    • getPointIntervalUnit

      public abstract IntervalUnit getPointIntervalUnit()
      See Also:
    • setPointIntervalUnit

      public abstract void setPointIntervalUnit(IntervalUnit pointIntervalUnit)
      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.
    • getPointPadding

      public abstract Number getPointPadding()
      See Also:
    • setPointPadding

      public abstract void setPointPadding(Number pointPadding)
      Padding between each column or bar, in x axis units.
    • getPointPlacement

      public abstract PointPlacement getPointPlacement()
      See Also:
    • setPointPlacement

      public abstract void setPointPlacement(PointPlacement pointPlacement)

      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.

      Note that pointPlacement needs a pointRange to work. For column series this is computed, but for line-type series it needs to be set.

    • getPointRange

      public abstract Number getPointRange()
      See Also:
    • setPointRange

      public abstract void setPointRange(Number pointRange)
      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.
    • getPointStart

      public abstract Number getPointStart()
      See Also:
    • setPointStart

      public abstract void setPointStart(Number pointStart)
      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.
    • getPointWidth

      public abstract Number getPointWidth()
      See Also:
    • setPointWidth

      public abstract void setPointWidth(Number pointWidth)
      A pixel value specifying a fixed width for each column or bar. When null, the width is calculated from the pointPadding and groupPadding.
    • getSelected

      public abstract Boolean getSelected()
      See Also:
    • setSelected

      public abstract void setSelected(Boolean selected)
      Whether to select the series initially. If showCheckbox is true, the checkbox next to the series name will be checked for a selected series.
    • getShadow

      public abstract Boolean getShadow()
      See Also:
    • setShadow

      public abstract void setShadow(Boolean shadow)
      Whether to apply a drop shadow to the graph line.
    • getShowCheckbox

      public abstract Boolean getShowCheckbox()
      See Also:
    • setShowCheckbox

      public abstract void setShowCheckbox(Boolean showCheckbox)
      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.
    • getShowInLegend

      public abstract Boolean getShowInLegend()
      See Also:
    • setShowInLegend

      public abstract void setShowInLegend(Boolean showInLegend)
      Whether to display this particular series or series type in the legend. The default value is true for standalone series, false for linked series.
    • getStates

      public abstract States getStates()
      See Also:
    • setStates

      public abstract void setStates(States states)
      A wrapper object for all the series options in specific states.
    • getStickyTracking

      public abstract Boolean getStickyTracking()
      See Also:
    • setStickyTracking

      public abstract void setStickyTracking(Boolean stickyTracking)
      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.
    • getTooltip

      public abstract SeriesTooltip getTooltip()
      See Also:
    • setTooltip
