Spline chart with Plot Bands



Following is an example of a spline chart with plot bands.

We have already seen the configuration used to draw a chart in Highcharts Configuration Syntax chapter. Now, let us understand an example of a spline chart with plot bands where additional configurations/steps are taken.

Configurations

Configure the bands using the yAxis.plotBands property. Set the band range using the 'from' and 'to' property. Set the color of band using the 'color' property. Style the label of band using the 'label' property.

yAxis

yAxis.setAxisTitleText("Wind speed (m/s)")  
   .setMin(0)  
   .setMinorGridLineWidth(0)  
   .setGridLineWidth(0)  
   .setAlternateGridColor(null)  
   .setPlotBands(  
      yAxis.createPlotBand()   // Light air  
         .setFrom(0.3)  
         .setTo(1.5)  
         .setColor(blueColor)  
         .setLabel(new PlotBandLabel()  
            .setText("Light air")  
            .setStyle(new Style()  
               .setColor("#606060")  
            )  
         ),  
      yAxis.createPlotBand()   // Light breeze  
         .setFrom(1.5)  
         .setTo(3.3)  
         .setColor(clearColor)  
         .setLabel(new PlotBandLabel()  
            .setText("Light breeze")  
            .setStyle(new Style()  
               .setColor("#606060")  
            )  
         )
   );
