I have three highcharts containers on the same page and want to create a function which is available to all charts, so I have defined the function in setOptions. The function is working well but I don't know which graph has triggered the event.
How do I know which chart triggered the event?
plotOptions: {
series: {
cursor: 'pointer',
allowPointSelect: true,
point: {
events: {
select: function () {
alert($(this).attr('id')); // I need this to be the chart id
}
}
},
Two ways:
use this.series.chart.options.chart.renderTo to get string you have passed when creating chart
use this.series.chart.renderTo.id to get ID's string, (will be the same as above).
You can use this.series.chart to get the chart object that was clicked. I'm not sure how you're assigning an "ID" to your chart, but presumably having a handle to the chart itself will be sufficient.

In this Highcharts column chart the user can drill down by clicking on the column.
This works fine, however all the data, including the data of the drilled column, needs to be available when the chart is firstly created.
What I need is to capture the drilldown event click and populate the chart with that information, sending the data only when the user clicked on a specific column. Is this possible?
Yes, it is possible and simple. You need to use drilldown event callback function, call API request in it and use addSeriesAsDrilldown method - as in the example below:
chart: {
type: 'column',
events: {
drilldown: function(e) {
if (!e.seriesOptions) {
var chart = this,
drilldowns = {
...
},
series = drilldowns[e.point.name];
// Show the loading label
chart.showLoading('Simulating Ajax ...');
setTimeout(function() {
chart.hideLoading();
chart.addSeriesAsDrilldown(e.point, series);
}, 1000);
}
}
}
}

I have more than one chart in one page, all of them uses same data but in different chart types.
I would like to change all of their time with only one navigator on the top. like using it as a datepicker input, how can i achieve that?
Use afterSetExtremes event callback function and apply the same extremes on the rest charts:
xAxis: {
events: {
afterSetExtremes: function(e) {
var min = e.userMin,
max = e.userMax;
chart1.xAxis[0].setExtremes(min, max, true, false);
chart2.xAxis[0].setExtremes(min, max, true, false);
}
}
}

I have an application where user can select a region by clicking. Then the map rewrites itself and zoomsTo() to the selected area. So far everything else works, but I haven't get any idea how to color the selected area programmatically. The area (or different statistics) may also be selected from a drop-down list, so I have to redraw the map in any case.
var mapChart=$('#mapcontainer').highcharts();
mapChart.get(jQuery( "#selected-region" ).val()).zoomTo();
mapChart.mapZoom(5);
I have tried things along the line:
mapChart.get(jQuery( "#selected-region" ).val()).color="rgb(255,0,0)";
but so far no breakthrough :/
Any ideas?

Using jquery to select point is not the best solution. Highcharts provides point events like click where you have an access to clicked point instance, or you can select a point using the chart.get() method by point id.
To change the selected area color you have to define color property when a point (area) is selected:
series: [{
states: {
select: {
color: '#a4edba'
}
}
}]
Now you have to invoke select() method on the clicked or selected point, as well as you invoked zoomTo() method:
series: [{
point: {
events: {
click: function() {
var point = this;
point.zoomTo();
point.select();
}
}
},
states: {
select: {
color: '#a4edba'
}
}
}]
});

I'd like to remove the value box from a Highcharts angular gauge.
I'm not sure it is possible...I have tried messing around with the JSFiddle demo trying to remove it and haven't been able to.
I was able to remove the minor and major ticks by adding
minorTickInterval: 'none',
tickPixelInterval: 'none'
But I can't figure out how to remove the value from the middle of the gauge.
or you can achieve the result you want just by adding the following lines:
series: [{
dataLabels: {
enabled: false
}
}]
You should add dataLabels.formatter to the series part of your gauge to remove it.
dataLabels: {
formatter: function () {
return null;
}
},

I have a boxplot with a scatter plot of the raw values drawn on top of it. I'd like to change the boxplot tooltip (when you mouse over) to display the total number of points in the scatter series.
tooltip: {
useHTML: true,
headFormat: '{point.key}',
pointFormat: 'Median: {point.median}'
}
point and series are for the boxplot, is there a way to reference another series like series[1] and how would you get the total. Or can I reference an array with the total values.
Similar to How to edit the tooltip text in a highcharts boxplot
this.series contains a reference to the chart object, which in turn has a reference to the chart.series array.
tooltip: {
formatter: function() {
var arrayOfSeries = this.series.chart.series;
console.log(arrayOfSeries); // doing something with all the series!
}
},
Fiddle here.
According to formatter, you can reference to the series object via this.series. So for the total number of points in the series, you can try
tooltip: {
formatter: function() {
return this.series.data.length;
}
},
It seems shared tooltip doesn't work on scatter, https://github.com/highslide-software/highcharts.com/issues/1431. So I don't know how to reference another series. Otherwise you can use this.points[i].series.
