Method Details

• getChartType

  public abstract ChartType getChartType()

  Overrides:

  getChartType in class AbstractPlotOptions

• 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.

• 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.

  See Also:

  • setClip(Boolean)

• setClip

  public abstract void setClip(Boolean clip)

  Disable this option to allow series rendering in the whole plotting area.

• getColorByPoint

  public abstract Boolean getColorByPoint()

  See Also:

  • setColorByPoint(Boolean)

• setColorByPoint

  public abstract void setColorByPoint(Boolean colorByPoint)

  When using automatic point colors pulled from the global colors or series-specific plotOptions.column.colors collections, this option determines whether the chart should receive one color per series or one color per point.

  In styled mode, the colors or series.colors arrays are not supported, and instead this option gives the points individual color class names on the form highcharts-color-{n}.

• 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()

  See Also:

  • setColorKey(String)

• 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'.

• getColors

  public abstract Color[] getColors()

  See Also:

  • setColors(Color...)

• setColors

  public abstract void setColors(Color... colors)

  A series specific or series type specific color set to apply instead of the theme colors.

• addColor

  public abstract void addColor(Color color)

  Adds color to the colors array

  Parameters:

  color - to add

  See Also:

  • setColors(Color...)

• removeColor

  public abstract void removeColor(Color color)

  Removes first occurrence of color in colors array

  Parameters:

  color - to remove

  See Also:

  public abstract void setCompareBase(Number compareBase)

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

• 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, 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. .

• 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.

• 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 JavaScript charts. By default data grouping is applied when the points become closer than a certain pixel value, determined by the groupPixelWidth option.

  Parameters:

  dataGrouping -

• getDescription

  public abstract String getDescription()

  See Also:

  • setDescription(String)

• setDescription

  public abstract void setDescription(String description)

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

• getEnableMouseTracking

  public abstract Boolean getEnableMouseTracking()

  See Also:

  • setEnableMouseTracking(Boolean)

• setEnableMouseTracking

  public abstract void setEnableMouseTracking(Boolean enableMouseTracking)

  public abstract Boolean getExposeElementToA11y()

  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.

  See Also:

  • setMaxPointWidth(Number)

• setMaxPointWidth

  public abstract void setMaxPointWidth(Number maxPointWidth)

• getPointDescriptionFormatter

  public abstract String getPointDescriptionFormatter()

• setPointDescriptionFormatter

  public abstract void setPointDescriptionFormatter(String _fn_pointDescriptionFormatter)

• getPointInterval

  public abstract Number getPointInterval()

  See Also:

  • setPointInterval(Number)

• 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 in milliseconds. For example, if a series contains one value each day, set pointInterval to 24 * 3600 * 1000.

  It can be combined with pointIntervalUnit to draw irregular intervals.

• getPointIntervalUnit

  public abstract IntervalUnit getPointIntervalUnit()

  See Also:

  • setPointIntervalUnit(IntervalUnit)

• 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(Number)

• 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(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. In a series on a categorized axis the pointRange is 1 by default.

• getPointStart

  public abstract Number getPointStart()

  See Also:

  • setPointStart(Number)

• 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. On a datetime X axis, the number will be given as milliseconds since 1970-01-01, for example Date.UTC(2011, 0, 1).

• getPointWidth

  public abstract Number getPointWidth()

  See Also:

  • setPointWidth(Number)

• setPointWidth

  public abstract void setPointWidth(Number pointWidth)

  public abstract void setShadow(Boolean shadow)

  Whether to apply a drop shadow to the graph line.

• getShowCheckbox

  public abstract Boolean getShowCheckbox()

  See Also:

  • setShowCheckbox(Boolean)

• 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(Boolean)

• 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.

• getSkipKeyboardNavigation

  public abstract Boolean getSkipKeyboardNavigation()

  See Also:

  • setSkipKeyboardNavigation(Boolean)

• setSkipKeyboardNavigation

  public abstract void setSkipKeyboardNavigation(Boolean skipKeyboardNavigation)

  Whether or not to skip past the points in this series for keyboard navigation.

• getSoftThreshold

  public abstract Boolean getSoftThreshold()

  See Also:

  • setSoftThreshold(Boolean)

• setSoftThreshold

  public abstract void setSoftThreshold(Boolean softThreshold)

  When this is true, the series will not cause the Y axis to cross the zero plane 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.

• getStates

  public abstract States getStates()

  See Also:

  • setStates(States)

• 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(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 not shared. When stickyTracking is false, the tooltip will be hidden when moving the mouse between series.

• getThreshold

  public abstract Number getThreshold()

  See Also:

  • setThreshold(Number)

• setThreshold

  public abstract void setThreshold(Number threshold)

  The threshold, also called zero level or base level. For line type series this is only used in conjunction with negativeColor.

• getTurboThreshold

  public abstract Number getTurboThreshold()

  See Also:

  • setTurboThreshold(Number)

• setTurboThreshold

  public abstract 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.
