  public Boolean getAllowPointSelect()

  See Also:

  • setAllowPointSelect(Boolean)

• setAllowPointSelect

  public void setAllowPointSelect(Boolean allowPointSelect)

  • setAnimation(Boolean)

• setAnimation

  public void setAnimation(Boolean animation)

  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, see ChartModel.setAnimation(Boolean)

• getAnimationLimit

  public Number getAnimationLimit()

  See Also:

  • setAnimationLimit(Number)

• setAnimationLimit

  public void setAnimationLimit(Number animationLimit)

  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.

• getClassName

  public String getClassName()

  See Also:

  • setClassName(String)

• setClassName

  public void setClassName(String className)

  A class name to apply to the series' graphical elements.

• getClip

  public Boolean getClip()

  See Also:

  • setClip(Boolean)

• setClip

  public void setClip(Boolean clip)

  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

  public Color getColor()

  See Also:

  • setColor(Color)

• setColor

  public void setColor(Color color)

  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.

• getColorIndex

  public Number getColorIndex()

  See Also:

  • setColorIndex(Number)

• setColorIndex

  public void setColorIndex(Number colorIndex)

  Styled mode only. A specific color index to use for the series, so its graphic representations are given the class name highcharts-color-{n}.

• getColorKey

  public String getColorKey()

  See Also:

  • setColorKey(String)

• setColorKey

  public void setColorKey(String colorKey)

  Determines what data value should be used to calculate point color if colorAxis is used. Requires to set min and max if some custom point property is used or if approximation for data grouping is set to 'sum'.

  Defaults to y.

• getCrisp

  public Boolean getCrisp()

  See Also:

  • setCrisp(Boolean)

• setCrisp

  public 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.

  Defaults to true.

• getCropThreshold

  public Number getCropThreshold()

  See Also:

  • setCropThreshold(Number)

• setCropThreshold

  public void setCropThreshold(Number cropThreshold)

  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.

  Defaults to: 300

• getCursor

  public Cursor getCursor()

  See Also:

  • setCursor(Cursor)

• setCursor

  public void setCursor(Cursor cursor)

  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.

  See Also:

  • setExposeElementToA11y(Boolean)

• setExposeElementToA11y

  public void setExposeElementToA11y(Boolean exposeElementToA11y)

  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

  public Dimension getFindNearestPointBy()

  See Also:

  • setFindNearestPointBy(Dimension)

• setFindNearestPointBy

  public void setFindNearestPointBy(Dimension findNearestPointBy)

  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

  public Boolean getGetExtremesFromAll()

  See Also:

  • setGetExtremesFromAll(Boolean)

  See Also:

  • setMarker(Marker)

• setMarker

  public void setMarker(Marker marker)

  Options for the point markers of line-like series. Properties like fillColor, lineColor and lineWidth define the visual appearance of the markers. Other series types, like column series, don't have markers, but have visual options on the series level instead.

  In styled mode, the markers can be styled with the .highcharts-point, .highcharts-point-hover and .highcharts-point-select class names.

• getPointDescriptionFormatter

  public String getPointDescriptionFormatter()

• setPointDescriptionFormatter

  public void setPointDescriptionFormatter(String _fn_pointDescriptionFormatter)

• getPointInterval

  public Number getPointInterval()

  See Also:

  • setPointInterval(Number)

• setPointInterval

  public 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.

  Since Highcharts 4.1, it can be combined with pointIntervalUnit to draw irregular intervals.

  Defaults to: 1

• getPointIntervalUnit

  public IntervalUnit getPointIntervalUnit()

  See Also:

  • setPointIntervalUnit(IntervalUnit)

• setPointIntervalUnit

  public 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.

• getPointStart

  public Number getPointStart()

  See Also:

  • setPointStart(Number)

• setPointStart

  public 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.

  Defaults to: 0

• getSelected

  public Boolean getSelected()

  See Also:

  • setSelected(Boolean)

  public 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.

  Defaults to: false

• getShadow

  public Boolean getShadow()

  See Also:

  • setShadow(Boolean)

  Defaults to: false

• getShowCheckbox

  public Boolean getShowCheckbox()

  See Also:

  • setShowCheckbox(Boolean)

• setShowCheckbox

  public 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.

• getStickyTracking

  public Boolean getStickyTracking()

  See Also:

  • setStickyTracking(Boolean)

• setStickyTracking

  public 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.

  Defaults to: false

• getTooltip

  public SeriesTooltip getTooltip()

  See Also:

  • setTooltip(SeriesTooltip)

• setTooltip

  public void setTooltip(SeriesTooltip tooltip)

  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

  public Number getTurboThreshold()

  See Also:

  • setTurboThreshold(Number)

• setTurboThreshold

  public void setTurboThreshold(Number turboThreshold)

  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.

  Defaults to: 1000

• getVisible

  public Boolean getVisible()

  See Also:

  • setVisible(Boolean)

• setVisible

  public void setVisible(Boolean visible)

  See Also:

  • setZones(Zones...)

• getCompare

  public Compare getCompare()

  See Also:

  • setCompare(Compare)

• setCompare

  public void setCompare(Compare compare)

  Compare the values of the series against the first non-null, non-zero value in the visible range. The y axis will show percentage or absolute change depending on whether compare is set to "percent" or "value". When this is applied to multiple series, it allows comparing the development of the series against each other.

  Defaults to: undefined

• getCompareBase

  public Number getCompareBase()

  See Also:

  • setCompareBase(Number)

• setCompareBase

  public void setCompareBase(Number compareBase)

  When compare is percent, this option dictates whether to use 0 or 100 as the base of comparison.

  Defaults to: 0

• getDataGrouping

  public DataGrouping getDataGrouping()

  See Also:

  • setDataGrouping(DataGrouping)

• setDataGrouping

  public void setDataGrouping(DataGrouping dataGrouping)

  Data grouping is the concept of sampling the data values into larger blocks in order to ease readability and increase performance of the JavaScript charts. Highstock by default applies data grouping when the points become closer than a certain pixel value, determined by the groupPixelWidth option.

  If data grouping is applied, the grouping information of grouped points can be read from the Point.dataGroup.

• getGapUnit

  public String getGapUnit()

  See Also:

  • setGapUnit(String)

• setGapUnit

  public void setGapUnit(String gapUnit)

  Together with gapSize, this option defines where to draw gaps in the graph.

  Defaults to: relative

• getLegendIndex

  public Number getLegendIndex()

  See Also:

  • setLegendIndex(Number)

• setLegendIndex

  public void setLegendIndex(Number legendIndex)

  The sequential index of the series within the legend.

  Defaults to: 0

• getNavigatorOptions

  public PlotOptionsSeries getNavigatorOptions()

  See Also:

  • setNavigatorOptions(PlotOptionsSeries)

• setNavigatorOptions

  public void setNavigatorOptions(PlotOptionsSeries navigatorOptions)

  Options for the corresponding navigator series if showInNavigator is true for this series. Available options are the same as any series, documented at plotOptions and series.

  These options are merged with options in navigator.series, and will take precedence if the same option is defined both places.

  Defaults to: undefined

• getPointPlacement

  public PointPlacement getPointPlacement()

  See Also:

  • setPointPlacement(PointPlacement)

• setPointPlacement

  public 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.

  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.

  Defaults to: null

• getPointRange

  public Number getPointRange()

  See Also:

  • setPointRange(Number)

• setPointRange

  public void setPointRange(Number pointRange)

  The width of each point on the x axis. For example in a column chart with one value each day, the pointRange would be 1 day (= 24 * 3600 * 1000 milliseconds). This is normally computed automatically, but this option can be used to override the automatic value.

  Defaults to: 0

• getShowInNavigator

  public Boolean getShowInNavigator()

  See Also:

  • setShowInNavigator(Boolean)

• setShowInNavigator

  public void setShowInNavigator(Boolean showInNavigator)

  Whether or not to show the series in the navigator. Takes precedence over navigator.baseSeries if defined.

  Defaults to: undefined

• getStacking

  public Stacking getStacking()

  See Also:

  • setStacking(Stacking)

• setStacking

  public void setStacking(Stacking stacking)

  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.

  Defaults to: null

• setPointStart

  @Deprecated public void setPointStart(Date date)

  Deprecated.

  as of 4.0. Use setPointStart(Instant)
