Method Details
-
getChartType
- Overrides:
getChartTypein classAbstractPlotOptions
-
getAllowPointSelect
- See Also:
-
setAllowPointSelect
Allow this series' points to be selected by clicking on the markers, bars or pie slices.Defaults to: false
-
getAnimation
- See Also:
-
setAnimation
Enable or disable the initial animation when a series is displayed. Please note that this option only applies to the initial animation of the series itself. For other animations, seeChartModel.setAnimation(Boolean) -
getAnimationLimit
- See Also:
-
setAnimationLimit
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, setanimationLimittoInfinity. -
getBorderColor
- See Also:
-
setBorderColor
The color of the border surrounding each column or bar.
In styled mode, the border stroke can be set with the
.highcharts-pointrule.Defaults to: #ffffff
-
getBorderRadius
- See Also:
-
setBorderRadius
The corner radius of the border surrounding each column or bar.Defaults to: 0
-
getBorderWidth
- See Also:
-
setBorderWidth
The width of the border surrounding each column or bar.
In styled mode, the stroke width can be set with the
.highcharts-pointrule.Defaults to: 1
-
getClassName
- See Also:
-
setClassName
A class name to apply to the series' graphical elements. -
getClip
- See Also:
-
setClip
Disable this option to allow series rendering in the whole plotting area. Note that clipping should be always enabled when chart.zoomType is set.Defaults to
true. -
getColor
- See Also:
-
setColor
The main color of the series. In heat maps this color is rarely used, as we mostly use the color to denote the value of each point. Unless options are set in the colorAxis, the default value is pulled from the options.colors array.Defaults to: null
-
getColorByPoint
- See Also:
-
setColorByPoint
When using automatic point colors pulled from theoptions.colorscollection, this option determines whether the chart should receive one color per series or one color per point.Defaults to: false
-
getColorIndex
- See Also:
-
setColorIndex
Styled mode only. A specific color index to use for the series, so its graphic representations are given the class namehighcharts-color-{n}. -
getColorKey
- See Also:
-
setColorKey
Determines what data value should be used to calculate point color ifcolorAxisis used. Requires to setminandmaxif some custom point property is used or if approximation for data grouping is set to'sum'.Defaults to
value. -
getColors
- See Also:
-
setColors
A series specific or series type specific color set to apply instead of the global colors when colorByPoint is true. -
addColor
Adds color to the colors array- Parameters:
color- to add- See Also:
-
removeColor
Removes first occurrence of color in colors array- Parameters:
color- to remove- See Also:
-
getColsize
- See Also:
-
setColsize
The column size - how many X axis units each column in the heatmap should span.Defaults to: 1
-
getCrisp
- See Also:
-
setCrisp
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, settingcrisptofalsemay look better, even though each column is rendered blurry.Defaults to: true
-
getCropThreshold
- See Also:
-
setCropThreshold
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. .Defaults to: 50
-
getCursor
- See Also:
-
setCursor
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. -
getDataLabels
- See Also:
-
setDataLabels
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-boxand.highcharts-data-labelclass names (see example). -
getDescription
- See Also:
-
setDescription
Requires Accessibility module
A description of the series to add to the screen reader information about the series.
Defaults to: undefined
-
getEnableMouseTracking
- See Also:
-
setEnableMouseTracking
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.Defaults to: true
-
getExposeElementToA11y
- See Also:
-
setExposeElementToA11y
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.
Defaults to: undefined
-
getFindNearestPointBy
- See Also:
-
setFindNearestPointBy
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.
-
getGetExtremesFromAll
- See Also:
-
setGetExtremesFromAll
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.Defaults to: false
-
getKeys
- See Also:
-
setKeys
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. -

key- to add- See Also:
-
removeKey
Removes first occurrence of key in keys array- Parameters:
key- to remove- See Also:
-
getLinkedTo
- See Also:
-
setLinkedTo
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. -
getMaxPointWidth
- See Also:
-
setMaxPointWidth
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.Defaults to: null
-
getOpacity

-
setOpacity
Opacity of a series parts: line, fill (e.g. area) and dataLabels.Defaults to
1. -

-
getStates
- See Also:
-
setStates
A wrapper object for all the series options in specific states. -
getStickyTracking
- See Also:
-
setStickyTracking
Sticky tracking of mouse events. When true, themouseOutevent on a series isn't triggered until the mouse moves over another series, or out of the plot area. When false, themouseOutevent on a series is triggered when the mouse leaves the area around the series' graph or markers. This also implies the tooltip. WhenstickyTrackingis false andtooltip.sharedis 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.Defaults to: true
-
getTooltip
- See Also:
-
setTooltip
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. -
getTurboThreshold
- See Also:
-
setTurboThreshold
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 to0disable.Defaults to: 1000

removeZone
Removes first occurrence of zone in zones array- Parameters:
zone- to remove- See Also:
