Highcharts - Time Series, Zoomable Chart
Following is an example of a time based data chart.
We have already seen the configuration used to draw a chart in Highcharts Configuration Syntax chapter. Now, we will discuss an example of a time based data chart.
Configurations
Let us now discuss the additional configurations/steps taken.
chart
Configure the chart to make it zoomable. chart.zoomType decides the dimensions by which the user can zoom by dragging the mouse. The possible values for this are x, y or xy.
var chart = { zoomType: 'x' };
plotOptions
Configure the area of chart using plotOptions.
var plotOptions = { area: { fillColor: { linearGradient: { x1: 0, y1: 0, x2: 0, y2: 1}, stops: [ [0, Highcharts.getOptions().colors[0]], [1, Highcharts.Color( Highcharts.getOptions().colors[0]).setOpacity(0).get('rgba')] ] }, marker: { radius: 2 }, lineWidth: 1, states: { hover: { lineWidth: 1 } }, threshold: null } };
