I found this fantastic answer to a question I had earlier today here on stackoverflow-
However, I am wondering if there is a way I can enable the highstock chart to update while I'm sliding the navigator (similar to the highstock demos)
I've attempted to change from afterSetExtremes to setExtremes to no avail
The JS Fiddle provided by morganfree in the linked question above
events: {
afterSetExtremes: function(e) {
var points = this.chart.get('main-series').points;
points.forEach(function(point) {
point.update({
y: e.min <= point.date && point.date <= e.max ? point.holdY : null
}, false, false);
});
this.chart.redraw();
}
}
}, {
type: 'linear'
}],
navigator: {
enabled: true
}

Consider the Highstocks async data loading example. I want to hide the preview and show just the scroll bar. So I set enabled to false in the chart configuration:
navigator: {
enabled: false,
adaptToUpdatedData: false,
...
This will cause the adaptToUpdatedData option not to work as described, i.e., when zooming the width of the scroll bar will be always 100%. Is it possible to keep the same behavior of the demo while hiding the preview?
You could visually hide all the elements of the navigator instead of disabling it.
For example (JSFiddle):
$('#container').highcharts('StockChart', {
navigator : {
adaptToUpdatedData: false,
height: 0,
handles: {
backgroundColor: 'transparent',
borderColor: 'transparent'
},
series : {
data : data
},
xAxis: {
labels: {
enabled: false
}
}
}
// ...
});
You might notice that the cursor still changes where the handles would be. If you want to get rid of this you could prevent the drawing of the handles all together.
For example (JSFiddle):
(function (H) {
H.wrap(H.Scroller.prototype, 'drawHandle', function (proceed, x, index) {
});
}(Highcharts));
$('#container').highcharts('StockChart', {
navigator : {
adaptToUpdatedData: false,
height: 0,
series : {
data : data
},
xAxis: {
labels: {
enabled: false
}
}
}
// ...
});
Can we disable zoom on highchart graph while graph is loading.
I have multiple graphs therfore would like to disable the zoom option until all graphs gets loaded.
It is possible to change zoomType of a chart dynamically, but it is not a part of official API. That way after all charts are loaded you will be able to change their zoomType from none to some.
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
zoomType: ''
},
xAxis: {
minRange: 1
},
series: [{
data: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
}]
});
function enableZoom(zoomType) {
var chart = $('#container').highcharts(),
zoomX = /x/.test(zoomType),
zoomY = /y/.test(zoomType);
chart.options.zoomType = zoomType;
chart.pointer.zoomX = zoomX;
chart.pointer.zoomY = zoomY;
chart.pointer.zoomHor = zoomX;
chart.pointer.zoomVert = zoomY;
}
$('#zoomX').click(function () {
enableZoom('x');
});
$('#zoomY').click(function () {
enableZoom('y');
});
$('#zoomXY').click(function () {
enableZoom('xy');
});
$('#noZoom').click(function () {
enableZoom('');
});
});
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/pearp126/
you can do so by simple setting zoomType as null in your chart config
zoomType: null
See the documentation here for more details
Basically the only thing you need to get done is removing the chart and replacing it with one with the settings you like.
See the code below:
var chart = $('#container').highcharts();
function renderChart(){
chart = new Highcharts.Chart(chart.options);
chart.render();
}
Once you want to enable zooming (or any other setting):
$('#container').highcharts().options.chart.zoomType = 'xy';
renderChart();
To be honest I'm not sure what happens to the old chart. Hopefully it's just overwritten and doesn't it impose a big memory issue.
I created a fiddle you can find here
Basically you can stop the "selection" event (zoom), when the loading label of the chart is displayed.
Using the default Highcharts function .showLoading() for show the loading label, and the default variable loadingShown, for verify is the loading label is displayed or not.
So, by using the function .showLoading(), let's say before doing an AJAX request, and validating with the variable loadingShown if the loading label is displayed or not, we can stop the selection event.
Another way, is to use a thirdparty loading mask, and add it to the chart's container.
In the next example you'll find how to cancel the zoom using the .showLoading() function and how to use jQuery plugin: pLoading https://github.com/joseshiru/p-loading (for show the loading mask)
$(function () {
var setEvents;
var chart;
$.getJSON('https://www.highcharts.com/samples/data/jsonp.php?filename=usdeur.json&callback=?', function (data) {
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
zoomType: 'x',
events: {
selection: function () {
//Quit the selection event, while the loading spinner is displayed.
if (chart.loadingShown) {
return false;
}
}
}

$showLoadingBtn.on('click.showLoading', function () {
chart.showLoading();

$hideLoadingBtn.on('click.hideLoading', function () {
chart.hideLoading();

$showExternalMask.on('click.toggleMask', function () {
$('#container').ploading({action: 'show'});

$hideExternalMask.on('click.toggleMask', function () {

How do I disable click on a datalabel in a PIE?
In previous version 2.3.2 click on a datalabel doesn't have any action on the pie. How do I get that in version 3.0.4?
There is no strict way to get that behavior back, probably there were requests from users to make this work that way. However, you can disable this by overwriting 'click' event on dataLabels:
chart: {
events: {
load: function () {
var chart = this,
points = chart.series[0].data,
pLen = points.length;
for (var i = 0; i < pLen; i++) {
points[i].dataLabel.on('click', function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
}
}
}
},
Working jsfiddle.
legendItemClick: function() {
return false;
}
set useHTML to false
$("#container").highcharts({
legend: {
useHTML: false
}
});
I need to disable the hover attribute of legend items because I am using Highcharts on mobile platforms. Sadly, making a legendItemClick event does not solve the problem as hovering still occurs.
I was encouraged to see that this issue came up on the old support site for highcharts back in 2011. The thread can be found here. I was particularly glad to see the last jfiddle example and the function declared in it.
Unfortunately, the only thing that worked for me was the workaround of changing the setHoverStyle to null. This isn't great though since the hover action still fires and makes navigating the legend and chart unresponsive. The rest of the suggestions in the above thread resulted in the chart not being rendered.
Granted, it might be because I had a difficult time translating the example to my purposes - honestly, I do not know where to call the function and everywhere I have tried has failed. My JavaScript file is set up along the lines of
var chartDefinition = {
chart: {
renderTo: 'chart_content',
type: 'column'
},
colors: [
'#619ED6',
'#6BA547',
'#F7D027',
'#E48F1B',
'#B77EA3',
'#E64345',
'#60CEED',
'#9CF168',
'#F7EA4A',
'#FBC543',
'#FFC9ED',
'#E6696E'
],
title: {
text: ''
},
...
column: {
shadow: false,
borderWidth: 1,
events: {
click: function() { return false; },
legendItemClick: function() { return false; }
},
dataLabels: {
enabled: false,
color: '#222',
style: {
fontFamily: 'sans-serif',
fontSize: '13px',
fontWeight: 'bold'
}
}
}
},
series: []
};
Listing and setting the various highcharts attributes.
Does anyone know how to disable this hover attribute or where the proper place would be to call the function?
There are a few solutions to implement this. There's no built-in option to change that (as of 06.2022).
Try to disable mouseover for legendGroup, not legendItem.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/Cp7xh/10/
Disable pointer-events in CSS:
.highcharts-legend {
pointer-events: none;
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/ebrodhk4/
A plugin that prevents Highcharts Core from adding events:
Plugin:
(function(H) {
H.wrap(
H.Legend.prototype,
'init',
function(proceed, chart, options) {
if (options.enableMouseTracking === false) {
this.setItemEvents = false;
}
proceed.apply(this, [chart, options]);
}
);
})(Highcharts);
Usage:
legend: {
enableMouseTracking: false,
itemStyle: {
cursor: 'auto'
}
},
Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/ogqv2sya/
Steps to reproduce.
We have a chart that display 4 series of data, and we have the corresponding legends with each series.
THe initial chart is loaded with 1 years worth of data.
We then remove all data-series from the chart by clicking on the 4 legends
We then change the Zoom level of the chart - e.g. going from a 6 month zoom, to a 3 month zoom. (NOTE: We change Zoom with no data-series being displayed).
We then re-enable the data-series by clicking on the legends.
The chart does not redraw correctly. To get the chart to redraw we have to reload the entire page.

JsFiddle Example
It looks like a bug, so I've reported it to our devs here: https://github.com/highslide-software/highcharts.com/issues/1568
A simple workaround :
After some trial and error, I found out that if you do not disable the navigator, the above bug is not exhibited. (Navigator is enabled by default.)
Comment the line as shown below:
navigator: {
//enabled: false
}
Js Fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/msjaiswal/FDXBu/1/
Certainly this is a bug in Highcharts but we can live with this above simple workaround.
This issue has been resolved in version 1.3.2 of HighStock.
