Method Details

• getChartType

  public abstract ChartType getChartType()

  Overrides:

  getChartType in class AbstractPlotOptions

• getAllowPointSelect

  public abstract Boolean getAllowPointSelect()

  See Also:

  • setAllowPointSelect(Boolean)

• setAllowPointSelect

  public abstract void setAllowPointSelect(Boolean allowPointSelect)

  Allow this series' points to be selected by clicking on the markers, bars or pie slices.

• getAnimation

  public abstract Boolean getAnimation()

  See Also:

  • setAnimation(Boolean)

• setAnimation

  public abstract void setAnimation(Boolean animation)

  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.

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

• getColor

  public abstract Color getColor()

  See Also:

  • setColor(Color)

• setColor

  public abstract 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.

• getAnimationLimit

  public abstract Number getAnimationLimit()

  See Also:

  • setAnimationLimit(Number)

• setAnimationLimit

  public abstract 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 abstract String getClassName()

  See Also:

  • setClassName(String)

• setClassName

  public abstract void setClassName(String className)

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

• getClip

  public abstract Boolean getClip()

  See Also:

  • setClip(Boolean)

• setClip

  public abstract 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

• getColorIndex

  public abstract Number getColorIndex()

  See Also:

  • setColorIndex(Number)

• setColorIndex

  public abstract void setColorIndex(Number colorIndex)

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

• getColorKey

  public abstract String getColorKey()

• setColorKey

  public abstract 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'.

• getCrisp

  public abstract Boolean getCrisp()

  See Also:

  • setCrisp(Boolean)

• 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.

• getCropThreshold

  public abstract Number getCropThreshold()

  See Also:

  • setCropThreshold(Number)

• setCropThreshold

  public abstract 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.

• getCursor

  public abstract Cursor getCursor()

  See Also:

  • setCursor(Cursor)

• setCursor

  public abstract 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 abstract 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.

• getFindNearestPointBy

  public abstract Dimension getFindNearestPointBy()

  See Also:

  • setFindNearestPointBy(Dimension)

• setFindNearestPointBy

  public abstract 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 abstract Boolean getGetExtremesFromAll()

  See Also:

  • setGetExtremesFromAll(Boolean)

  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 abstract Number getPointStart()

  See Also:

  • setPointStart(Number)

• setPointStart

• getSelected

  public abstract Boolean getSelected()

  See Also:

  • setSelected(Boolean)

  public abstract Boolean getStickyTracking()

  See Also:

  • setStickyTracking(Boolean)

• 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.

• getThreshold

  public abstract Number getThreshold()

  See Also:

  • setThreshold(Number)

• setThreshold

  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.

• getVisible

  See Also:

  • setVisible(Boolean)

• setVisible

  public abstract void setVisible(Boolean visible)

  See Also:

  • setCompare(Compare)

• setCompare

  public abstract 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.

• getCompareBase

  public abstract Number getCompareBase()

  See Also:

  • setCompareBase(Number)

• setCompareBase

  public abstract void setCompareBase(Number compareBase)

  This option dictates whether to use 0 or 100 as the base of comparison.

• getDataGrouping

  public abstract DataGrouping getDataGrouping()

  See Also:

  • setDataGrouping(DataGrouping)

• setDataGrouping

  public abstract 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 charts.

• getNavigatorOptions

  public abstract PlotOptionsSeries getNavigatorOptions()

  See Also:

  • setNavigatorOptions(PlotOptionsSeries)

• setNavigatorOptions

  public abstract void setNavigatorOptions(PlotOptionsSeries navigatorOptions)

  Options for the corresponding navigator series if showInNavigator is true for this series.

• getPointPlacement

  public abstract PointPlacement getPointPlacement()

  See Also:

  • setPointPlacement(PointPlacement)

• 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(Number)

• setPointRange

  public abstract 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.

• getShowInNavigator

  public abstract Boolean getShowInNavigator()
