Highcharts update chart scroll issue- scroll to initial position - highcharts

I am having an issue with Highcharts highstock column chart. With xaxis min=0, max=5 [page size] which has 20 categories.
After the initial load when you scroll the xaxis to the end and then click on modify data. On this action I will invoke an api and update the series data. 'The chart displays as No data to display' even if there is one category. I wanted to reset scroll to initial position, which I cannot do for categories. You will need to move scroll manually
Also Since there is only one category and I do not want other categories to display as numbers.
https://jsfiddle.net/shashi3337/zcf8kvgx/7/
I am updating the chart to modify xaxis min and max to set max as 0 [ 1 category] to remove numbers.
https://jsfiddle.net/shashi3337/zcf8kvgx/5/.
Now when you click on Add data which adds back the data. I am resetting min=0 and max=5. Now
I just see only 1 category per page scroll.
Expected Behavior
I expect the scroll bar to be automatically scrolled back after I click modify data button and when I click on add data button I expect to see 6 categories per page scroll on xaxis.
function test(n) {
var data = [];
for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
var value = Math.random() * 10;
var x = {
id: i,
name: 'test ' + i,
y: value
}
data.push(x);
}
return data;
}
var chart = Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'column',
},
plotOptions: {
column: {
stacking: 'normal'
},
},
xAxis: {
type: 'category',
min:0,
max:5
},
scrollbar: {
enabled: true
},
series: [{
name: "A",
data: test(20)
}, {
name: "B",
data: test(20)
},
{
name: "C",
data: test(20)
},
{
name: "D",
data: test(20)
}
]
});
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#modify').click(function(){
if(chart){
while (chart.series.length > 0)
chart.series[0].remove(true);
chart.addSeries({
name: 'new',
data: test(1)
});
}
});
$('#add').click(function(){
if(chart){
while (chart.series.length > 0)
chart.series[0].remove(true);
chart.update({
xAxis: {
min:0,
max:5
}
});
chart.addSeries({
name: 'A',
data: test(20)
});
}
});
});

Found the answer to this.
You need to use xAxis.setExtremes() to modify extremes on the chart. At this moment, extremes set by user (e.g. by scrollbar) have the highest priority and are not cleared when you remove all series.
Example https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/pp2qpxks/
chart.xAxis[0].setExtremes(0, 0);

Highcharts.js - Dynamically disable given category

In Highcharts.js is it possible to disable/enable a given category by clicking on it? In the same way as you can disable/enable a given series in a legend by clicking on it.
If not, what is the next best alternative?
Disabling a category by clicking on it is not supported in Highcharts by default. To acheieve the wanted result you need to add custom code. For example, in render event you can add click event to xAxis labels and update the chart with new categories and data:
var H = Highcharts,
categories = ['one', 'two', 'three'],
data = [1, 2, 3];
chart = Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
events: {
render: function() {
var chart = this;
H.objectEach(chart.xAxis[0].ticks, function(tick) {
if (tick.label) {
H.addEvent(tick.label.element, 'click', function() {
data.splice(tick.pos, 1);
categories.splice(tick.pos, 1);
chart.update({
series: [{
data: data
}],
xAxis: {
categories: categories
}
});
});
}
});
}
}
},
series: [{
type: 'column',
data: data
}],
xAxis: {
categories: categories
}
});

Highcharts (highstock) - hide all markers in the navigator

I have got into little trouble with hiding the markers in the navigator
The problem is that after I set marker.enabled to false. It does nothing. (JS fiddle - line 75)
navigator: {
series: {
lineWidth: 0,
marker: {
enabled: false // this should hide markers
}
}
}
It is doing nothing because I have some condition where if the condition is true I need to insert the marker at that point, like this:(JS fiddle - line 63).
Btw.. in that JSfiddle example I'm setting it for every point, but that doesn't matter.
series: [{
data: {
x: ...,
y: ...,
marker: {
enabled: true
}
}
]}
- so when I set it manually on that point, it will override the global navigator options
PROBLEM - The global navigator option for the marker is overriden by every single point.
GOAL - Hide all markers in the navigator.
JSFiddle
OLD SOLUTION
If you have only 1 serie in the graph - take the Wojciech Smiel answer.
If you have more than 1 serie in the graph - you have to first make an array of the series with the disabled marker, and then set the options like this
navigator: {
series: seriesArray // array with the series and disabled marker
}
NEW SOLUTION
My friend recently discovered better and easier solution, each serie has navigatorOptions property where you can set radius for the marker, if you set it to 0 it will be hidden.
serie.navigatorOptions = { marker: { radius: 0 } };
Quoting the Highcharts navigator documentation:
Unless data is explicitly defined on navigator.series, the data is
borrowed from the first series in the chart.
That's why navigator series has markers despite the fact that you disabled it in navigator options. However, you can add separate data for the navigator where you can disable marker for each point. Check the demo posted below.
Code:
function generateData(markers) {
// generate an array of random data
var data = [],
time = (new Date()).getTime(),
i;
for (i = -999; i <= 0; i += 1) {
data.push({
x: time + i * 1000,
y: Math.round(Math.random() * 100),
marker: {
enabled: markers
}
});
}
return data;
}
// Create the chart
Highcharts.stockChart('container', {
chart: {
events: {
load: function() {
// set up the updating of the chart each second
var chart = this,
series = this.series[0],
seriesNav = this.series[1];
setInterval(function() {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y = Math.round(Math.random() * 100);
series.addPoint([x, y], false);
seriesNav.addPoint([x, y], true, true);
}, 1000);
}
}
},
time: {
useUTC: false
},
rangeSelector: {
buttons: [{
count: 1,
type: 'minute',
text: '1M'
}, {
count: 5,
type: 'minute',
text: '5M'
}, {
type: 'all',
text: 'All'
}],
inputEnabled: false,
selected: 0
},
title: {
text: 'Live random data'
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
marker: {
enabled: true
}
}
},
series: [{
name: 'Random data',
showInNavigator: true,
data: generateData(true)
}],
navigator: {
series: {
lineWidth: 0,
marker: {
enabled: false
},
data: generateData(false)
}
}
});

Highcharts : Change color of series when hovering other series

I have an issue where I want to change the fill color of a column series when hovering another series. (This is to visualize related series)
I succeeded in changing the color on mouseOver, but I'm not able to restore the color on mouseOut.
The code I have until now is on jsFiddle
var hoverSerie;
var originalColor;
var newColor = '#a760d6'
$(function () {
var t = $('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'column'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Apples', 'Oranges', 'Pears', 'Grapes', 'Bananas']
},
yAxis: {
min: 0
},
plotOptions: {
column: {
stacking: 'normal'
}
},
series:[{
events: {
mouseOver: function() {
hoverSeries = this.chart.series[2]
originalColor = hoverSeries.options.color;
hoverSeries.options.color = newColor;
hoverSeries.update(hoverSeries.options);
},
mouseOut: function(){
if(originalColor)
{
hoverSeries.options.color = originalColor;
hoverSeries.update();
}
}
},
animation : false,
name: 'John',
data: [5, 3, 4, 7, 2]
}, {
animation : false,
name: 'Jane',
data: [2, 2, 3, 2, 1]
}, {
animation : false,
name: 'Joe',
data: [3, 4, 4, 2, 5]
}]
});
});
When hovering (mouseOver) the top stacked series (light blue) the color of the bottom (black) series. For one or other reason, the mouse out event is working differently as the mousOver event. The code appears to loop when doing a mouseOut.
Apparently when doing update inside mouseOut the redraw-part of the update causes mouseOut to be called recursively, eventually leading to "stack size exceeded". In this updated Fiddle I've used a boolean to prevent it from happening recursively, which seems to be working for me in Chrome. Hope it it what you were looking for. The only real change is the addition of the mouseWasOver variable used in both mouseOver and mouseOut.
This appears to be a bug(?) related to calling update inside mouseOut that was reported as early as 2011 on their GitHub, and 2010 on their forum.

Highcharts 3 cannot render more than 1000 points in one series

After upgrading for Highcharts 2.1.9 to 3.0.0 we found that it seems impossible to render more than 1000 points in one series.
If you add 1000 points to a series it renders ok.
If you add 1001 points to a series it does not render at all. If you interrogate the series afterwards the "data" array on the series is empty.
You can however render multiple series with 1000 points - so there does not seem to be a limitation in terms of the total number of points per chart.
Here is a jsFiddle which illustrates this: http://jsfiddle.net/YWVHx/47/
$(function () {
var series1Data = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
series1Data.push({
x: (new Date()).getTime() + i * 10000,
y: Math.random() * 100
});
}
var series2Data = [];
// If you change this back to 1000 the series gets rendered
for (var i = 0; i < 1001; i++) {
series2Data.push({
x: (new Date()).getTime() + i * 10000,
y: Math.random() * 100 + 100
});
}
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'line'
},
title: {
text: 'Foo'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime'
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: null
}
},
tooltip: {
crosshairs: true,
shared: true,
valueSuffix: '°C'
},
legend: {
enabled: true
},
series: [{
name: '1000 Points - I work ;-)',
data: series1Data
}, {
name: '1001 Points - I dont work :-(',
data: series2Data
}]
});
});
Is this a limitation that was imposed on purpose or is it a problem with v3?
You should set bigger turbothreshold: http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#plotOptions.series.turboThreshold
For the other user's convenience , this is a complementary example that you can copy and paste:
plotOptions:{
series:{
turboThreshold:5000//set it to a larger threshold, it is by default to 1000
}
}

Highstock returns incorrect x value (datetime) after zoom for column chart

After any sort of zoom (mouse drag, range selector, date input) the datetime returned from the point click event is usually incorrect. I've not yet found this problem when using an area chart, have found it using both bar and column chart.
To recreate: run the fiddle, zoom using the mouse across a few of the columns, click a datapoint. The alert will show the datetime returned. Notice it's different from the tooltip (which is correct).Usually fails after first click, even for the same datapoint.
BTW useUTC setting doesn't matter.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/jrEDT/
Code for completeness:
$(function() {
var seriesOptions = [],
yAxisOptions = [],
seriesCounter = 0,
names = ['MSFT'],
colors = Highcharts.getOptions().colors;
$.each(names, function(i, name) {
$.getJSON('http://www.highcharts.com/samples/data/jsonp.php?filename='+ name.toLowerCase() +'-c.json&callback=?', function(data) {
seriesOptions[i] = {
name: name,
data: data,
type: 'column'
};
// As we're loading the data asynchronously, we don't know what order it will arrive. So
// we keep a counter and create the chart when all the data is loaded.
seriesCounter++;
if (seriesCounter == names.length) {
createChart();
}
});
});
// create the chart when all data is loaded
function createChart() {
Highcharts.setOptions({
global: {
useUTC: false // datetime reflects time on db (ie, local) rather than GMT
}
});
chart = new Highcharts.StockChart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
zoomType: 'x'
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
rangeSelector: {
selected: 4
},
yAxis: {
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 2,
color: 'silver'
}],
offset: 25
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
cursor: 'pointer',
allowPointSelect: true,
point: {
events: {
click: function() {
var series = this.series.name;
var utc = this.x;
var d = Highcharts.dateFormat('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', this.x);
alert(d);
}
}
}
}
},
tooltip: {
formatter:function(a,b,c){
var d = Highcharts.dateFormat('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', this.x);
return d;
},
enable:true
},
series: seriesOptions
});
}
});
Thanks!
Have you tried to disable datagrouping http://api.highcharts.com/highstock#plotOptions.series.dataGrouping ?
