  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.

  See Also:

  • setColorIndex(Number)

• setColorIndex

  public void setColorIndex(Number colorIndex)

• setCrisp

  public void setCrisp(Boolean crisp)

  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, setting crisp to false may look better, even though each column is rendered blurry.

• getPointDescriptionFormatter

  public String getPointDescriptionFormatter()

• 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.

• getPointPadding

  public Number getPointPadding()

  See Also:

  • setPointPadding(Number)

• setPointPadding

  public void setPointPadding(Number pointPadding)

  Padding between each column or bar, in x axis units.

  Defaults to: 0.1

• 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.

• getPointRange

  public Number getPointRange()

  See Also:

  • setPointRange(Number)

• setPointRange

  public void setPointRange(Number pointRange)

  The X axis range that each point is valid for. This determines the width of the column. On a categorized axis, the range will be 1 by default (one category unit). On linear and datetime axes, the range will be computed as the distance between the two closest data points.

• 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

• getPointWidth

  public Number getPointWidth()

  See Also:

  • setPointWidth(Number)

• setPointWidth

  public void setPointWidth(Number pointWidth)

  A pixel value specifying a fixed width for each column or bar. When null, the width is calculated from the pointPadding and groupPadding.

• getStickyTracking

  public Boolean getStickyTracking()

  See Also:

• setStickyTracking

  public void setStickyTracking(Boolean stickyTracking)

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.
