I'm trying to tweak a Highcharts scatter plot with this date series
series: [{
data: [[1,2],[2,5]]
}]
so that i can put a name on each point, I want to show the name in the tooltip.
The API doc says an object of named values can be defined like this
series: [{
data: [{
name: 'Point 1',
x: 1,
y: 2
}, {
name: 'Point 2',
x: 2,
y: 5
}]
}]
but it seems the x and y values are not picked up. See my jsfiddle example.
This answer works for Highcharts 4.1.9.
Took me a long time to figure out hence I want to pass it on in case someone is looking for this as well.
Your mileage may vary for other versions.
plotOptions: {
scatter: {
dataLabels: {
format: "{point.name}",
enabled: true
},
enableMouseTracking: false
}
},
series: [{
name: 'Projects',
data: [{"name":"Point 1", "x":1,"y":2}, {"name":"Point 2", "x":4,"y":5}]
}]
What are the key points?
Ensure that the scatter.dataLabels is enabled and the format is {point.name}
Ensure that the data is in the format of {"name":"Point 1", "x":1,"y":2}
As mentioned in this comment, what works for me in Highcharts 5.0.6 is:
{
type: 'scatter',
tooltip: { headerFormat: '<strong>{point.key}</strong><br>' },
data: [{ x: 0, y: 1, name: 'Whatever' }, ...]
}
As stated in the documentation, the name field is the name of the point as shown in the legend, tooltip, dataLabel, and so on. I updated your fiddle to include the highcharts library, and I am seeing this behaviour (i.e. if I hover over a point, its label is displayed).
If you want the x-axis labels set correctly, you need to ensure that the xAxis section of your chart configuration does not have a categories key.
You could also show names in the legend section. Updated the selected answer above here
series: [{
name: 'Point 1',
data: [[3, 3]]
}, {
name: 'Point 2',
data: [[4, 8]]
}, {
name: 'Point 3',
data: [[9, 15]]
}]
This is a new feature in HighCharts 3.0. You have to define the xAxis type to 'Category' and give the name of the point in the data if you want it to appear on the xAxis:
xAxis: {
//categories: ['Green', 'Pink'],
type: 'category'
},
...
data: [{
name: 'Green',
x: 1,
y: 2
}, {
name: 'Pink',
x: 2,
y: 5
}]
See your jsFiddle code updated :here.
Note that I have added the tooltip formating feature to show that point.x has no more meaning in this context, only point.name remains relevant. Also, you cannot have two points with different 'name' at the same x position.
I struggled with this issue and after finding the solution in the documentation I must say the behavior as designed feels a bit unexpected.
Per the docs (here: https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/plotOptions.scatter.tooltip), the tooltip does not show all fields you can add to a data point, but rather
Defaults to x: <b>{point.x}</b><br/>y: <b>{point.y}</b><br/>.
To show the data point name (and any other fields you want to), simply change the HTML rendered by the tooltip. For example, you can display the point name and coordinates in the tooltip while removing the series name as follows:
chart: {
type: "scatter",
}
tooltip: {
headerFormat: '',
pointFormat: 'Name: <b>{point.name}</b><br/>Load time: <b>{point.y}</b><br/>Requests: <b>{point.x}</b>',
},

I need to make a combination of draggable line chart and treemap.
See here: JSFiddle example
Highcharts.chart('container', {
series: [{
type: "treemap",
data: [
{id: "NS",name: 'NS_area', value:5},
// ...
}
},{
data: [[0, 100], [10,90.9], [20,81.8], [30,72.7]],
type: 'line',
}]
});
can I display x,y axis when using treemap? Do you have other idea how to combine both charts?
One workaround that might work for you is adding an additional axis and simply linking it to the original one.
For example, creating one "duplicate" x-axis and y-axis:
xAxis: [{
},{
linkedTo: 0
}],
yAxis: [{
}, {
linkedTo: 0
}]
See this JSFiddle demonstration of it in use. This makes the axis mimic the look you originally had.
If you want the line chart to be completely independent of the original axis, you could just do the following:
series: [{
// ...
}, {
data: [[0, 100], [10,90.9], [20,81.8], [30,72.7]],
type: 'line',
yAxis: 1,
xAxis: 1,
// ...
}],
xAxis: [{
},{
}],
yAxis: [{
}, {
}],
See this JSFiddle demonstration of it in use. This works as a completely separate axis.
I need to use a "name" attribute for the X axis, so I can put the name of the month.
I can not therefore use an array of values within the data attribute. So I can not use something of this kind data:[12,13,45];
Using something like this:
// Create the chart
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'line'
},
series: [{
colorByPoint: true,
data: [{
name: 'Septiembre',
y: 1687
}, {
name: 'Octubre',
y: 2085
}]
}],
});
Reproduction online
I'm using a stacked percentage bar chart in Highcharts. (This jsfiddle is similar to our chart, derived from an example on the Highcharts site.)
What I'd like to do is add another set of "category" labels on the right side of the chart. Where the left side has labels for each bar, I'd like to show an average on the right. (Calculating this average and putting it in the Highcharts configuration data is done on the server side; in the fiddle I've just hard-coded some dummy values.)
I've tried using multiple x-axis configurations, with the averages categories marked opposite: true to put them on the right side. I can see that adding this is changing the chart, especially if I don't put them on opposite, but the labels don't actually show in any configuration I've tried. Is this possible? If so, what do I need to do that I'm not yet doing?
This is the configuration in the jsFiddle example:
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'bar'
},
title: {
text: 'Stacked bar chart'
},
xAxis: [{
categories: ['Apples', 'Oranges', 'Pears', 'Grapes', 'Bananas']
}, {
title: 'Avg.',
categories: [3.0, 3.3, 3.6, 2.6, 3.0],
opposite: true
}],
yAxis: {
min: 0,
title: {
text: 'Percent fruit consumption'
}
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
stacking: 'percent'
}
},
series: [{
name: 'John',
data: [5, 3, 4, 7, 2]
}, {
name: 'Jane',
data: [2, 2, 3, 2, 1]
}, {
name: 'Joe',
data: [3, 4, 4, 2, 5]
}]
});
You have the correct axis set up, but currently the chart doesn't know what to do with the second axis.
Highcharts requires that an axis has either a data series attached to it, or that it is linked to another axis that does, in order to display it.
If you add a linkedTo property, it will work as required:
xAxis: [{
categories: ['Apples', 'Oranges', 'Pears', 'Grapes', 'Bananas']
}, {
linkedTo: 0, // <-- now the chart will show it, as long as axis 0 is able to be shown
title: 'Avg.',
categories: [3.0, 3.3, 3.6, 2.6, 3.0],
opposite: true
}]

As the title states, highcharts is only loading the title and subtitle, yet none of the subsequent chart information or it's relevant theme. Hitting my head against a wall trying to get this to work. Really hoping someone else here has had this problem.

The first half of the fiddle is the highcharts theme. All the logic starts kicking off at #transitfunding
Very simple fix... you need to move your series data outside of your plotOptions: like so:
plotOptions: {
column: {
stacking: 'normal'
},
},
series: [{
name: 'Other',
data: [0, 0, -5400000, 1, 1, 0, 3, 0, 8016805, -8435419, -28900000]
}, {
name: 'Gas Tax',
data: [119221, 627705, 234646, 6685080, 1341871, 1990937, 3187208, 6911715, 10002605, -14282137, -10555715 ]
}]
A working fiddle can be seen here.
you have misplace the series section.
series(that contains data) is the sibling of plotOptions not its child.
so it should be like
plotOptions: {
column: {
stacking: 'normal'
},
},
series: [{
name: 'Other',
data: [0, 0, -5400000, 1, 1, 0, 3, 0, 8016805, -8435419, -28900000]
}, {
name: 'Gas Tax',
data: [119221, 627705, 234646, 6685080, 1341871, 1990937, 3187208, 6911715, 10002605, -14282137, -10555715 ]
}]
I've updated your js fiddle here
I thought a newly added series should not affect old ones, but when I tried to add a scatter series with custom markers, empty spaces will be created between candlesticks where the new points are. I know set ordinal option on xAxis to false will avoid it, but the problem of that is it may be possible that some of the data points for candlesticks are missing, creating gaps on the candlestick series. Hence, what I want is a scatter series does not change the look of the candlestick series.
This is the options that I pass to highstock series:
series : [{
type : 'candlestick',
name : 'AAPL Stock Price',
data : data,
dataGrouping : {
units : [
['week', // unit name
[1] // allowed multiples
], [
'month',
[1, 2, 3, 4, 6]]
]
}
}, {
type: "scatter",
data: [{
x: 1362407640000,
y: 460,
marker: {
symbol: 'url(http://www.highcharts.com/demo/gfx/sun.png)'
}
}],
}]
In a word, I just want to get rid of the empty space on the candlestick series when a scatter series is created.
Here is the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/vRDNZ/. Thank you for your help!
In general this is exactly how ordinal axis should work. There is simple workaround for this, use second xAxis, which is linked to first one, and connect scatter series to that axis. Example: http://jsbin.com/oyudan/267/
xAxis: [{
opposite: false
}, {
linkedTo: 0,
offset: 0,
labels: {
enabled: false
}
}],
series : [{
type : 'candlestick',
name : 'AAPL Stock Price',
data : data,
dataGrouping : {
units : [
['week', // unit name
[1] // allowed multiples
], [
'month',
[1, 2, 3, 4, 6]]
]
}
}, {
type: "scatter",
xAxis: 1,
data: [{
x: 1362407640000,
y: 460,
marker: {
symbol: 'url(http://www.highcharts.com/demo/gfx/sun.png)'
}
}],
}]
