Highcharts - 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
var yAxis = {
title: {
text: 'Wind speed (m/s)'
},
min: 0,
minorGridLineWidth: 0,
gridLineWidth: 0,
alternateGridColor: null,
plotBands: [
{ // Light air
from: 0.3,
to: 1.5,
color: 'rgba(68, 170, 213, 0.1)',
label: {
text: 'Light air',
style: {
color: '#606060'
}
}
},
{ // Light breeze
from: 1.5,
to: 3.3,
color: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)',
label: {
text: 'Light breeze',
style: {
color: '#606060'
}
}
},
{ // Gentle breeze
from: 3.3,
to: 5.5,
color: 'rgba(68, 170, 213, 0.1)',
label: {
text: 'Gentle breeze',
style: {
color: '#606060'
}
}
},
{ // Moderate breeze
from: 5.5,
to: 8,
color: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)',
label: {
text: 'Moderate breeze',
style: {
color: '#606060'
}
}
},
{ // Fresh breeze
from: 8,
to: 11,
color: 'rgba(68, 170, 213, 0.1)',
label: {
text: 'Fresh breeze',
style: {
color: '#606060'
}
}
},
{ // Strong breeze
from: 11,
to: 14,
color: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)',
label: {
text: 'Strong breeze',
style: {
color: '#606060'
}
}
},
{ // High wind
from: 14,
to: 15,
color: 'rgba(68, 170, 213, 0.1)',
label: {
text: 'High wind',
style: {
color: '#606060'
}
}
}
]
};
