Separate panes / or style maximum gridlines in Highstock - highcharts

I built a widget with multiple y Axes very similar to the official sample here: http://www.highcharts.com/stock/demo/candlestick-and-volume
I'm trying to have some sort of visual separation between the chart panes, either by
applying a special style to the maximum grid line for each pane, or
adding a horizontal line in the whitespace between the panes
The only approach i got working is using PlotLines, but I'd rather have a separator that's independent of zoom levels. Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Use Renderer to draw a path between y axes.
function drawSeparator() {
let separator = this.separator;
const options = this.options.chart.separator;
if (options && options.enabled) {
if (!separator) {
this.separator = separator = this.renderer.path({
d: 'M 0 0',
'stroke-width': options.width === undefined ? 1 : options.width,
stroke: options.color || 'black'
}).add();
}
const topAxisBottom = this.yAxis[0].top + this.yAxis[0].height;
const bottomAxisTop = this.yAxis[1].top;
const y = topAxisBottom + (bottomAxisTop - topAxisBottom) / 2;
separator.attr({
d: `M 0 ${y} L ${this.chartWidth} ${y}`
});
}
}
Call the method on load/redraw event
chart: {
events: {
load: drawSeparator,
redraw: drawSeparator
},
separator: {
enabled: true,
width: 3,
color: 'blue'
}
},
You can modify the path's d attribute, the path starts from axis.left and stops on axis.left + axis.width

Network diagram meets Sankey chart

Is there a way, in Highcharts, to create a network diagram where the connections are of width proportional to a data series (like a Sankey diagram?)
The application is a "traffic flow" visualisation (but between logical points, not physical ones, so overlaid onto a network diagram rather than a map.)
This is not supported by default, but you can easily get the wanted result by a small modification of getLinkAttribues method:
H.seriesTypes.networkgraph.prototype.pointClass.prototype.getLinkAttribues = function() {
var linkOptions = this.series.options.link,
maxValue,
pointOptions = this.options;
if (!this.linkWidth) {
this.series.points.forEach(function(p) {
maxValue = maxValue ?
Math.max(maxValue, p.options.value) :
p.options.value;
});
this.series.points.forEach(function(p) {
p.linkWidth = p.options.value * 10 / maxValue;
});
}
return {
'stroke-width': this.linkWidth || 1,
stroke: pointOptions.color || linkOptions.color,
dashstyle: pointOptions.dashStyle || linkOptions.dashStyle
};
}

get tickpositions highcharts

I have a highcharts scatter plot for which I'm trying to fetch the x and y tickPositions in freemarker template, specifically the first and last one. Such as that I would get something as [-10,-10] (bottom left corner) at the intersection of the x-y axis and [30,40] (top right corner) at the intersection of the opposite sides, where xAxis ticks are [-10,0,10,20,30] and yAxis ticks are [-10,0,10,20,30,40]
I want these points so that I'll be able to plot a diagonal line across the scatter plot from bottom lower corner to top right corner. The line series should look like:
series: [
{
type : 'line',
<#--diagonal line-->
data :[[-10,-10], [30,40]], // to be calculated dynamically
lineWidth: 0.5,
marker : {
enabled : false
}
},
{
color: 'rgb(0,85,152)',
data: [[2,3],[6,7],[8,9]]
}
]
The problem at present is I'm unable to get [-10,-10], [30,40] data points. Is it even possible is what I'm wondering. Any help is much appreciated!
You have the getExtremes() function on an axis.
For example:
var extremes = $('#container').highcharts().yAxis[0].getExtremes();
Here is the doc, and here is a demo fiddle
Is this what you were trying to achieve ?
Edit
After your fiddle example, I understand better your need.
Here is the updated fiddle
var chart = $('#container').highcharts();
var extremeY = chart.yAxis[0].getExtremes();
var extremeX = chart.xAxis[0].getExtremes();
var lineSeries = {
type: 'line',
data: [
[extremeX.min, extremeY.min],
[extremeX.max, extremeY.max]
],
lineWidth: 0.5,
lineColor: 'rgb(0,0,0)',
marker: {
enabled: false
}
};
chart.addSeries(lineSeries);
I created an object with the properties of the line series. And using min and max (not dataMin and dataMax) properties from the object returned by getExtremes() you obtain the desired result.
Edit 2
You could put this code in the load event of the chart. It is a callback called after the chart finished loading. And here you can use this to refer to the chart :
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
events: {
load: function() {
var extremeY = this.yAxis[0].getExtremes();
var extremeX = this.xAxis[0].getExtremes();
var lineSeries = {
type: 'line',
data: [
[extremeX.min, extremeY.min],
[extremeX.max, extremeY.max]
],
lineWidth: 0.5,
lineColor: 'rgb(0,0,0)',
marker: {
enabled: false
}
};
this.addSeries(lineSeries);
}
},
//...
});
Here is the new updated fiddle
Since you need only a diagonal path, then you could add it using renderer
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/cr7gq4st/
function diagonal() {
var chart = this,
ren = chart.renderer,
diag = chart.diag,
attrs = {
'stroke-width': 0.5,
stroke: '#000',
zIndex: 1
},
topR = {
x: chart.plotLeft + chart.plotWidth,
y: chart.plotTop
},
bottomL = {
x: chart.plotLeft,
y: chart.plotTop + chart.plotHeight
},
d = 'M ' + bottomL.x + ' ' + bottomL.y + ' L ' + topR.x + ' ' + topR.y;
if( !diag ) { //if doesn't exist, then create
chart.diag = ren.path().attr(attrs).add();
}
chart.diag.attr({d:d});
}

Highcharts - drawing gridlines only up to the series

I have an areaspline with only one series. The design calls for drawing x-axis gridlines that touch the series and don't extend beyond that. Is it possible to do this? Here's my code to configure the gridlines:
xAxis: {
gridLineWidth: 1,
tickAmount: 30,
lineWidth: 0,
labels: {
enabled: false
},
minPadding: 0
},
Another option (other then 2 mentioned by jlbriggs in a comment on the question) might be to extend Highcharts and change paths of grid lines in a wrapper like:
(function(H) {
var UNDEFINED;
H.wrap(H.Tick.prototype, 'render', function(p) {
p.apply(this, [].slice.call(arguments, 1)); //run original function
if (this.axis.isXAxis && this.gridLine) {
var point = this.axis.series[0].options.data[this.pos],
d = this.gridLine.attr('d').split(' ');
if (point !== UNDEFINED) {
d[2] = this.axis.chart.yAxis[0].toPixels(point);
d = d.join(' ');
} else {
d = ''; //remove if not crossing any point
}
this.gridLine.attr({
d: d
});
}
});
})(Highcharts)
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/69f5z3us/
If a grid line is not crossing any point, then the grid line is removed, but you could change that part of the code if you want to.

Highcharts: how to get the data points in the zoomed window?

I am new to Highcharts.
I have a line chart. Here is the categories:
["9/7/14", "9/8/14", "9/9/14", "9/10/14", "9/11/14", "9/12/14", "9/13/14", "9/14/14", "9/15/14", "9/16/14", "9/17/14", "9/18/14", "9/19/14", "9/20/14", ...]
Here is the data series:
[1, 4, 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 5, 3, 1, 0, 0, 6, 8, ... ]
I added zoom to my chart, very similar to this jsfiddle demo: http://jsfiddle.net/348sh/3/
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
zoomType: 'x'
},
I would like to get the total of only those Y values within the zoomed-in window, not the total of the entire data series. For this, I need to capture what values are included in the x axis in the zoomed window. So I added the following based on my research:
xAxis: {
type: 'line',
events: {
setExtremes: function(event) {
console.log(event.min);
console.log(event.max);
}
}
}
However, the values for event.min or event.max are numbers such as 3.6552511415525117, 7.10730593607306. I have no way to know which x values are included in the zoomed window. How can I find which x values are included? Any way to get the start and end x values ?
Thanks!
I did further research. I notice that I may have answered my question already in my question. It turns out that the numbers I gave in my question are very helpful, not clueless. Math.ceil(min) and Math.floor(max) are just the beginning and ending index of the data points in the data series that are show up in the zoomed window. The another thing to note is to use afterSetExtremes event. This is the moment where chart finalizes the starting and ending points in the X axis. So the complete answer is:
xAxis: {
type: 'line',
events: {
afterSetExtremes: function(event) {
var start = Math.ceil(event.min);
var end = Math.floor(event.max);
}
}
}
I am new to Highcharts and love to get corrected if I am wrong.
Cheers.
This may help you . Try this fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/7kv9a25r/ .
chart: {
events: {
selection: function (event) {
var text,
label;
if (event.xAxis) {
text = 'min: ' + Highcharts.numberFormat(event.xAxis[0].min, 2) + ', max: ' + Highcharts.numberFormat(event.xAxis[0].max, 2);
} else {
text = 'Selection reset';
}
label = this.renderer.label(text, 100, 120)
.attr({
fill: Highcharts.getOptions().colors[0],
padding: 10,
r: 5,
zIndex: 8
})
.css({
color: '#FFFFFF'
})
.add();
setTimeout(function () {
label.fadeOut();
}, 1000);
}
},
zoomType: 'x'
},

Customize tooltip in FLOT graph

I am using FLOT to display graphs.
To display tootip i am using https://github.com/krzysu/flot.tooltip.
Now I want to customize content of tooltip so I am using callback to set content of tooltip.
Code snippet:
tooltip: true,
tooltipOpts: {
content: function(label, xval, yval, flotItem){
var xAxis = plot.getXAxes();
return xval;
},
defaultTheme: false
}
But its giving me error
caught TypeError: Object function (label, xval, yval, flotItem){
var xAxis = plot.getXAxes();
return xval;
} has no method 'replace'
Could any one help me ?
Thanks in advance.
The documentation states that:
If you require even more control over how the tooltip is generated you can pass a callback function(label, xval, yval, flotItem) that must return a string with the format described.
xval is the numeric x axis value where the tooltip is located. It is not a string. The replace method it is failing on is the standard string.replace:
> "".replace
function replace() { [native code] }
I'm not using the flot tooltip. There is easier way to show tooltip and customize it. Check out this fiddler:
http://jsfiddle.net/Margo/yKG7X/5/
$("#placeholder").bind("plothover", function (event, pos, item) {
if (item) {
$("#tooltip").remove();
var x = item.datapoint[0],
y = item.datapoint[1];
showTooltip(item.pageX, item.pageY, x + " / " + y );
}
});
function showTooltip(x, y, contents) {
$('<div id="tooltip">' + contents + '</div>').css({
position: 'absolute',
display: 'none',
top: y + 5,
left: x + 5,
border: '1px solid #fdd',
padding: '2px',
'background-color': '#fee',
opacity: 0.80
}).appendTo("body").fadeIn(200).fadeOut(6000);
}
Hope it helps :)
