SeriesArearange

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>

Due to poor performance, animation is disabled in old IE browsers for column charts and polar charts.

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.

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.

Polar charts only. Whether to connect the ends of a line series plot across the extremes.

Whether to connect a graph line across null points.

When the series contains less points than the crop threshold, all points are drawn, even 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.

A name for the dash style to use for the graph. Applies only to series type having a graph, like line, spline, area and scatter in case it has a lineWidth. The value for the dashStyle include:

• Solid
• ShortDash
• ShortDot
• ShortDashDot
• ShortDashDotDot
• Dot
• Dash
• LongDash
• DashDot
• LongDashDot
• LongDashDotDot

An array of data points for the series. For the area series type, points can be given in the following ways:

• An array of numerical values. In this case, the numerical values will be interpreted as y options. The x values will be automatically calculated, either starting at 0 and incremented by 1, or from pointStart and pointInterval given in the series options. If the axis has categories, these will be used. Example:

  data: [0, 5, 3, 5]
  

-

An array of arrays with 2 values. In this case, the values correspond to x,y. If the first value is a string, it is applied as the name of the point, and the x value is inferred.

data: [
[0, 9],
[1, 7],
[2, 6]
]

-

An array of objects with named values. The objects are point configuration objects as seen below. If the total number of data points exceeds the series' turboThreshold, this option is not available.

data: [{
x: 1,
y: 9,
name: "Point2",
color: "#00FF00"
}, {
x: 1,
y: 6,
name: "Point1",
color: "#FF00FF"
}]

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).

Requires Accessibility module

A description of the series to add to the screen reader information about the series.

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.

Fill color or gradient for the area. When null, the series' color is used with the series' fillOpacity.

Fill opacity for the area. Note that when you set an explicit fillColor, the fillOpacity is not applied. Instead, you should define the opacity in the fillColor with an rgba color definition.

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.

An id for the series. This can be used after render time to get a pointer to the series object through chart.get().

The index of the series in the chart, affecting the internal index in the chart.series array, the visible Z index as well as the order in the legend.

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 sequential index of the series in the legend.

Try it:

Legend in opposite order .

A separate color for the graph line. By default the line takes the color of the series, but the lineColor setting allows setting a separate color for the line without altering the fillColor.

Pixel with of the graph line.

The line cap used for line ends and line joins on the graph.

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 name of the series as shown in the legend, tooltip etc.

The color for the parts of the graph or points that are below the threshold.

A separate color for the negative part of the area.

Properties for each single point

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A wrapper object for all the series options in specific states.

Whether to apply steps to the line. Possible values are left, center and right.

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.

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.

Whether the whole area or just the line should respond to mouseover tooltips and other mouse or touch events.

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.

When using dual or multiple x axes, this number defines which xAxis the particular series is connected to. It refers to either the axis id or the index of the axis in the xAxis array, with 0 being the first.

When using dual or multiple y axes, this number defines which yAxis the particular series is connected to. It refers to either the axis id or the index of the axis in the yAxis array, with 0 being the first.

Define the visual z index 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.
