Highcharts - synchronized-charts crosshair line and circle point display - highcharts

Question

I changed the official chart, but the crosshair not my expected.
DEMO : Official synchronized-charts
What I changed :
Add xAxis.categories as my custom xAxis labels
Change series[0].fillOpacity 0.3 to 1
Use my custom json data
CODE :
```javascript
//$.getJSON('https://www.highcharts.com/samples/data/jsonp.php?filename=activity.json&callback=?', function (activity) {
var json = {
xData: ["1/1", "1/2", "1/3", "1/4", "1/5", "1/6", "1/7", "1/8", "1/9", "1/10"],
datasets: [{
name: "Num of dog",
data: [1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5],
unit: "dogs",
type: "area",
valueDecimals: 0
},{
name: "Num of cat",
data: [1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5],
unit: "cats",
type: "area",
valueDecimals: 0
}]
};
//$.each(activity.datasets, function (i, dataset) {
$.each( json.datasets, function (i, dataset) {
// Add X values
dataset.data = Highcharts.map(dataset.data, function (val, j) {
//return [activity.xData[j], val];
return [json.xData[j], val];
});
$('<div class="chart">')
.appendTo('#container')
.highcharts({
...,
xAxis: {
crosshair: true,
events: {
setExtremes: syncExtremes
},
categories: ["1/1", "1/2", "1/3", "1/4", "1/5", "1/6", "1/7", "1/8", "1/9", "1/10"],
//labels: {
//format: '{value} km'
//}
},
...,
series: [{
...,
fillOpacity: 1,
//fillOpacity: 0.3,
...
});
```
DEMO : My synchronized-charts
What I need:
Display crosshair line, like Official synchronized-charts
Don't show circle point, like Official synchronized-charts
Show circle point When mouse hover, like Official synchronized-charts
Crosshair line put to front
Does anyone know to accomplish this?
Thank you!

Answer 1

For Don't show circle point, like Official synchronized-charts. Added
plotOptions: {
series: {
marker: {
enabled: false
}
pointPlacement: 'on'
}
},
For Crosshair line put to front. Updated xAxis
xAxis: {
categories: json.xData,
tickmarkPlacement: 'on',
crosshair: {
width: 2,
zIndex: 3
},
events: {
setExtremes: syncExtremes
},
},
/*

through DOM and Highcharts events and API methods. It takes a standard Highcharts config with a
small variation for each data set, and a mouse/touch event handler to bind the charts together.
