highchart autoupdate(addpoint) cause corrupted chart view - highcharts

Im using multiple highchart chart inside my page and i use addpoint function to update the chart.
the problem is after some time the chart will be compressed into less than a half of original chart size.
i captured my screen which could be found here for make the problem clear:

sample chart generation code:
$(function () {

});
}
return data;
})()
}
]
});
chart update functions:
chart.series[0].addPoint([x,data.oid1], false, true);
chart.series[1].addPoint([x,data.oid2], true, true);
chart1.series[0].addPoint([x,data.oid5], true, true);
chart2.series[0].addPoint([x,data.oid3], false, true);
chart2.series[1].addPoint([x,data.oid4], true, true);
chart3.series[0].addPoint([x,data.oid7], true, true);
thanks in advance

you need to add a shifting parameter for your points to shift over the chart
var series = chart.series[0],
shift = series.data.length > 100; // shift if the series is longer than 100
and to change adding point like below
chart.series[0].addPoint([x,data.oid1], true, shift);

Highcharts dynamic data from an Api

I want to create a chart that reads its data from an Api. To do that i have this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/68oe1oLf/69/
Note: https://jsfiddle.net/68oe1oLf/69/ will lead to mixed content error and will fail to load data from the api
This is the javascript code
$(document).ready(function () {
$.get( "http://firmbridgecapital.com/live.php", function( dt ) {
localStorage.setItem("data", dt);
});
window.setInterval(function(){
$.get( "http://firmbridgecapital.com/live.php", function( dt ) {
localStorage.setItem("data", dt);
});
}, 5000);
Highcharts.setOptions({
global: {
useUTC: false
}
});
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'spline',
animation: Highcharts.svg, // don't animate in old IE
marginRight: 10,
events: {
load: function () {
// set up the updating of the chart each second
var series = this.series[0];
setInterval(function () {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y = parseInt(localStorage.getItem("data"));
series.addPoint([x, y], true, true);
}, 5000);
}
}
},
title: {
text: 'Live random data'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
tickPixelInterval: 150
},
yAxis: {
max: 3,
title: {
text: 'Value'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function () {
return '<b>' + this.series.name + '</b><br/>' +
Highcharts.dateFormat('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', this.x) + '<br/>' +
Highcharts.numberFormat(this.y, 2);
}
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Random data',
data: (function () {
// generate an array of random data
var data = [],
time = (new Date()).getTime(),
i;
for (i = -150; i <= 0; i += 25) {
data.push({
x: time,
y: parseInt(localStorage.getItem("data"))
});
}
return data;
}())
}]
});
});
I borrowed the idea from this docs example http://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/library/pure/highcharts/highcharts/tree/master/samples/highcharts/demo/dynamic-update/
My chart is always grounded on value 1 and does not show the changing values in the y axis. How may i fix this?.
The value you are referencing, i.e. live php page, seems to be 1.x and increasing very slowly. (1.7 while I was looking).
In your parsing you do the following:
y = parseInt(localStorage.getItem("data"));
And since the value is 1.7, and you try to parse it as an integer with parseInt, it gets converted to 1. Using parseFloat will give you a slowly increasing graph.

Keep Scroll on the Right Highchart

Is there a way to keep the scroll on the most right?
I am trying live update on highchart and it seems that sometimes I am encountering scroll being left behind.
$(function() {

I know it a little bit hard to explain my concern, but check this image
I have search setExtremes but I am not sure if how it works or how it will be set up on future dated in case this is the function that I am looking for.
Here is the jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/kttfv1h3/3/
Appreciate your help
setExtremes() will work - see API http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/Axis.setExtremes.
The only thing you need to adjust is the min value - you can calculate it from the last point or set some fixed value.
xAxis.setExtremes(x - 1000 * 60, x)

Highcharts pie graph with two rings filtering

I have a pie chart here that I'm working on that has two "rings" in it. The inner ring is just a summation of the outer ring for that given category.
Here is the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/jeffvan576/a50859s7/1/
(Apologies for the code - it's a bit of a mess right now)
I've been messing around with the showInLegend functionality but that will (as it's intended) only pull out the given piece of the pie chart. So, for instance, if you click google, it pulls out that piece of the pie chart but leaves the outer ring. To completely eliminate google you need to click "google", "match", "funds added" and "organic" for google.
My question is, is there a way to remove the entire slice (google and all it's children) from the chart at once?
The issue is that in order to get the functionality / layout on the chart that I need, this pie chart is actually built out of two series.
ShowInLegend code:
pie: {
shadow: false,
center: ['50%', '50%'],
showInLegend: true
}
I started building a custom visibility function at the bottom of the fiddle but dialed it back until I understood showInLegend a little better.
Thanks in advance!
you can achieve this by getting name of series on which clicked by using http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#plotOptions.pie.events.click of plotoptions -> pie.
after that calling visibility function to hide Channel series along with its children to hide/show.
Event:
plotOptions: {
pie: {
shadow: false,
center: ['50%', '50%'],
showInLegend: true,
point: {
events: {
}
}
}
}
also static line put into visibility function to hide/show need to remove.
// chart.series[0].data[0].visible = false;

Function to create Highcharts where the series has the correct prototype

I am attempting to write a function to add a highchart to a page and a function that can update the data for that chart based on a streaming API. I added a setInterval to simulate the streaming api.
The issue occurs on line 80. I believe it is because I have not set the series array with the chart object properly. When I need to add new data via 'addPoint', the prototype is not there. What am I missing in my AddChart function that wires the series up to highcharts?
FIDDLE:
http://jsfiddle.net/puto3Lg0/2/
$(function () {
$(document).ready(function () {
var metrics = [];
Highcharts.setOptions({
global: {
useUTC: false
}
});
function AddChart(metric) {
$("#divMain").append('<div id="' + metric.key + '" style="min-width: 310px; height: 200px; margin: 0 auto"></div>');
$('#' + metric.key).highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'spline',
animation: Highcharts.svg, // don't animate in old IE
marginRight: 10,
},
title: {
text: metric.Title
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
tickPixelInterval: 150
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Messages'
},
plotLines: [
{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}
]
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function() {
return '<b>' + this.series.name + '</b><br/>' +
Highcharts.dateFormat('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', this.x) + '<br/>' +
Highcharts.numberFormat(this.y, 2);
}
},
legend: {

series: metric.series
});
};
function ParseData(message) {
var jsonObj = JSON.parse(message);
$.each(jsonObj.Metrics, function(index, value) {
var metricName = value.Metric.Name.replace(' ', '');
if (metrics[metricName] == undefined) {
metrics[metricName] = {
"title": value.Metric.Name,
"key": metricName,
"series": [
{
name: value.Metric.Name,
data: []
}
],
}
AddChart(metrics[metricName]);
}
metrics[metricName].series.addPoint([new Date().getTime(), parseInt(value.Metric.CurrentValue)], true, false);
});
};
setInterval(function () {
var m = "{\"Metrics\": [{\"Metric\":{\"Name\":\"Queue 01\",\"CurrentValue\":\"0\",\"TimeStamp\":\"\\\x2FDate(1415826323291)\\\x2F\"}},{\"Metric\":{\"Name\":\"Queue 02\",\"CurrentValue\":\"3\",\"TimeStamp\":\"\\\x2FDate(1415826323344)\\\x2F\"}},{\"Metric\":{\"Name\":\"Queue 03\",\"CurrentValue\":\"9\",\"TimeStamp\":\"\\\x2FDate(1415826323405)\\\x2F\"}}]}";
ParseData(m);
}, 1000);
});
});
First, you have metrics declared as an array. Should be an empty object:
var metrics = {};
Second, the data structure you've created, metrics[metricName].series is not a Highcharts series object. It's an object you created and used to supply Highcharts data. To get the real series object, you'll have to get it back from the chart.
// getting the chart from the DOM, then the first series...
$("#"+metricName).highcharts().series[0].addPoint([new Date().getTime(), parseInt(value.Metric.CurrentValue)], true, false);

Highcharts - remove points from series

Is it possible to remove certain points from a series?
I'm looking for some way to draw a chart with a fixed back period,
something like: the last 1 hour.
I know how to add points using dynamic update:
http://www.highcharts.com/demo/dynamic-update
But in my case the time interval between points is not constant,
so I can't just use the shift option of addPoint.
Thanks,
Omer
If you want to have the same, you can use the same logic as in addPoint, see: http://jsfiddle.net/JKCLx/1/
However, why can't you just use shift argument in addPoint()?
I think I found a partial answer to my own question:
I can iterate over the series datapoints like this:
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#Series.data
and then call point.Remove.
The problem with this solution is that it does not draw monitor style like in the example,
but rather it redrwas the entire chart on each change.
http://jsfiddle.net/JKCLx/
$(function () {
$(document).ready(function() {
Highcharts.setOptions({
global: {
useUTC: false
