Highchart, Plot bands for each bar - highcharts

Question

I need to show the design in highchart somewhat like the following code I found:
//-------------------------------------------------------
Highcharts.Renderer.prototype.symbols.line = function(x, y, width, height) {
return ['M',x ,y + width / 2,'L',x+height,y + width / 2];
};
//-------------------------------------------------------
Highcharts.setOptions({
chart:{
type:'column',
inverted:false,
},
credits:{enabled:false},
exporting:{enabled:false},
legend:{enabled:false},
title:{text:''},
xAxis:{
tickLength:0,
lineColor:'#999',
lineWidth:1,
labels:{style:{fontWeight:'bold'}}
},
yAxis:{
min:0,
minPadding:0,
maxPadding:0,
tickColor:'#ccc',
tickWidth:1,
tickLength:3,
gridLineWidth:0,
endOnTick:true,
title:{text: ''},
labels:{
y:10,
style:{
fontSize:'8px'
},
formatter:function(){
if (this.isLast){
return this.value + ' %';
}
else{
return this.value;
}
}
}
},
tooltip:{
enabled:true,
backgroundColor:'rgba(255, 255, 255, .85)',
borderWidth:0,
shadow:true,
style:{fontSize:'10px',padding:2},
formatter:function() {
return this.series.name + ": <strong>" + Highcharts.numberFormat(this.y,2) + "</strong>";
}
},
plotOptions:{
column:{
color:'#000',
shadow:false,
borderWidth:0,
},
scatter:{
marker:{
symbol:'line',
lineWidth:3,
radius:8,
lineColor:'#000'
}
}
}
});

See the same in this fiddle
In the above code, 5 charts are used separately, with bands for each chart.
But I need to implement the bands for each bar instead of each chart. Is there an option for this in highchart?

Answer 1

You can apply specific gradient on plot bands to create tricolor effect.
DOCS Reference:
https://www.highcharts.com/docs/chart-design-and-style/colors
Example:

Answer 2

You can add band to each of the columns on load event of highcharts if chart is dynamic or else hard code it for static data(use different id,color etc)
xAxis.plotBands reference
Here is dynamic example
chart: {
alignTicks: false,
events: {
load: function() {
console.log(this.xAxis[0])
var j = 0;
var ticks = this.xAxis[0].paddedTicks;
for (var i = 0; i < ticks.length; i++) {
if (i == 9) {
j = 0;
}
this.xAxis[0].addPlotBand({
from: ticks[i] - .5,
to: ticks[i] + .5,
color: Highcharts.getOptions().colors[j],
id: 'plot-band-1' + i
});
j++;
}
}
}
},
