I'm pretty clueless at this point, on some of my charts I am giving these options:
var plotOptions, yAxis;
plotOptions = {
series: {
compare: 'value'
}
};
yAxis = {
labels: {
formatter: function() {
return this.value;
}
},
plotLines: [
{
value: 0,
width: 2,
color: 'silver'
}
]
};
And the chart still displays percentages in the y-axis, just without the % sign. I did a console.log of 'this' in the formatter tag, and the value attribute is correct (that is, returning the value instead of a percentage, but it doesn't seem to be applying it to the chart. Any thoughts?
I actually just ended up using a spline chart instead. Basically what I was trying to say was that the y-axis was displaying the same values where I used "compare: 'percentage'" or "compare: 'value'", but the spline chart seems to be rendering the labels as the actual data points (4000 as opposed to 25%).

We have a UI requirement to introduce a break in the graph when the first value on the y-axis is not 0. Naturally I started off with setting the yAxis min value to 0 and I decided to introduce a break in the y-axis. Here is the relevant options
yAxis: {
lineWidth: 2,
min: 0,
breaks: [
{
from: 0,
to: 100
}
]
}
With data of
[180, 220, 450, 562]
Now this works great when the data we are using is static but obviously in our case it is not. The data we are getting back is from another service and varies a lot.
Is it possible to get a minimum value of the yaxis that is calculated by highcharts?
I can introduce a break from 0 to that calculated min value?
You guys can see what I have worked on so far:
CodeSandbox
I am mainly doing this because we have a requirement to add the swigly as in the picture
First of all - it seems that you missed importing the broken-axis module.
import HighchartsBrokenAxis from "highcharts/modules/broken-axis";
HighchartsBrokenAxis(Highcharts);
Next, I want to suggest another solution - use the render callback to check the yAxis.minData and do an update on the yAxis.
chart: {
events: {
render() {
const chart = this,
yAxis = chart.yAxis[0],
dataMin = yAxis.dataMin;
if (chartForRender) {
chartForRender = false;
yAxis.update({
breaks: [
{
from: 1,
to: dataMin
}
]
});
}
chartForRender = true;
}
}
},
Notice that I used the chartForRender flag to be sure that the update call will be triggered only once.

In my area chart I have three series which are presorted chronologically. This is what I am currently getting to display:
I'm using React which is why you see multiple renders, just ignore that. My dates that I am returning for the xAxis are in order but I'm only getting one. Why is that? Here is my code (using React Highcharts but it shouldn't matter I don't think):
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
labels: {
formatter: function() {
const dayStr = moment.unix(this.value).format('D');
const monthStr = moment.unix(this.value).format('M');
console.log(`${monthStr}/${dayStr}`, this.value);
return `${monthStr}/${dayStr}`;
},
align: 'left',
style: { "color": "#FFFFFF" }
},
title: {
text: 'Date',
style: { "color": "#FFFFFF" }
}
},
As you can see my formatter function is returning multiple dates but only one displays.
By default Highcharts algorithms decide which ticks to display (labels are drawn where the ticks are). Also some labels might be omitted when there's no enough space to place them.
Use tickPositions to force Highcharts to draw given ticks. You can also try tickPositioner to modify the ticks generated automatically.

Is there any way to format yaxis into something I want.
In fact, sometimes on the yaxis the data is shown with (k) on the right instead of thousand.
I want to remove (k). How can I do it?
The image of yaxis I want:
You can use formatter (http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#yAxis.labels.formatter) and numberFormat() http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#Highcharts.numberFormat()
http://jsfiddle.net/K2X3Y/
yAxis: {
labels: {
formatter: function () {
return Highcharts.numberFormat(this.value,0);
}
}
},
I'm eager to find out if its possible to place last value in series to yAxis in highcharts.
It supposed to be simple label with last point value shown on the right side of the charts, dinamically chanhing when we add points to the chart.
thanks!
There are probably several methods.
One that I would use can be seen in this example:
http://jsfiddle.net/jlbriggs/zXLZA/
data: [7,12,16,32,{y:64,dataLabels:{enabled:true}}]
This makes use of the datalabels, which are enabled only for the last data point.
The downside to this is that you need to specify that in your data. Not hard to do, but may not fit your needs.
Another way would be to use a second y axis, and the tickPositions property:
http://jsfiddle.net/jlbriggs/zXLZA/4/
Another possible solution is to use tickPositioner with second yAxis. In such case with dynamic data, everything will be computed itself, see: http://jsfiddle.net/3c4tU/
tickPositioner: function(min,max){
var data = this.chart.yAxis[0].series[0].processedYData;
//last point
return [data[data.length-1]];
}
to get the highest value in any axis and series, use the function getExtreme(). It will find you the extreme value (highest or lowest depending of the argument you put behind). Select the chart, the axis and the series before.
here's an example: (whith your chart associated to the variable 'yourChart')
var highestValue = yourChart.yAxis[0].getExtremes().dataMax;
It will return the highest value of the first Y-axis' associated series.
While this below will return the lowest of the second X-axis' associated series:
var lowestValue = yourChart.xAxis[1].getExtremes().dataMin;
My recommended solution:
plotOptions: {
areaspline: {
fillOpacity: 0.2,
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
borderRadius: 5,
backgroundColor: 'rgba(252, 255, 197, 0.7)',
borderWidth: 1,
borderColor: '#AAA',
y: -6,
formatter: function() {
if (this.x == this.series.data[this.series.data.length-1].x) {
return this.series.name + ': '+this.y;
} else {
return null;
}
}
}
}
}
we can make use of formatter for this
here is an example to display the last value
http://jsfiddle.net/kgNy4/1/
here is an example to display maximum value
http://jsfiddle.net/kgNy4/
In the example I have put
dataLabels: {
enabled: true
}
so that formatter function will be executed
I hope this will be useful for you
I have a Highcharts line graph that has dataLabels configured in the plotOptions. This is all working well and I have a nice label displayed over each point.
plotOptions: {
line: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
formatter: function() {
return '$' + Highcharts.numberFormat(Math.round(this.y),0,0,",");
}
}
}
}
However, is there a way to set an interval that determines how often the dataLabels appear over the points? I want to show every point in my graph, but due to space constraints, only show the dataLabel every 2 or 3 points.
Edit:
Difficulty level: My graph has multiple y-axes, uses datetime for the x-axis, and has irregular data.
http://jsfiddle.net/SQkMW/68/
Yes, you could just return a blank string if the point x mod 2 is 0, for every 2nd to show up, for example (http://jsfiddle.net/HzYtV/):
formatter: function() {
if(this.point.x % 2 == 0) return '';
return this.y +'mm';
}
For datetime axis you will have to create a variable and increment it manually http://jsfiddle.net/SQkMW/69/
