Basic Bar Chart Demo Example Code

Below is the Java code needed to create the Highcharts Basic Bar demo chart from their website.
The Java getter/setter naming convention for method names is also supported.

This example chart is also viewable in the demo web application available on the demo page.

public Highchart configure() {
    Highchart highChart = new Highchart();
    ChartOptions chartOptions = highChart.getChartOptions();
    chartOptions.chart().type(ChartType.BAR);
    chartOptions.title().text("Historic World Population by Region");
    chartOptions.subtitle().text("Source: Wikipedia.org");

    XAxis xAxis = new XAxis();
    xAxis.categories(new ArrayList(Arrays.asList("Africa", "America", "Asia", "Europe", "Oceania")));
    xAxis.title().text(null);
    chartOptions.xAxis().add(xAxis);

    YAxis yAxis = new YAxis();
    yAxis.min(0).title().text("Population (millions)").align(TitleAlign.HIGH);
    yAxis.labels().overflow(LabelsOverflow.JUSTIFY);
    chartOptions.yAxis().add(yAxis);

    chartOptions.tooltip().valueSuffix(" millions");
    chartOptions.plotOptions().bar().dataLabels().enabled(true);
    chartOptions.credits().enabled(false);

    chartOptions.legend().layout(Layout.VERTICAL).align(HorizontalAlign.RIGHT)
        .verticalAlign(VerticalAlign.TOP).x(-40).y(80).floating(true)
        .borderWidth(1).shadowAsBoolean(true)
        .backgroundColor().setColorValue("((Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.legendBackgroundColor) || '#FFFFFF')");
		
    SeriesBar seriesBar = new SeriesBar();
    seriesBar.name("Year 1800");
    seriesBar.dataAsArrayNumber(new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(107, 31, 635, 203, 2)));
    chartOptions.series().add(seriesBar);
		
    seriesBar = new SeriesBar();
    seriesBar.name("Year 1900");
    seriesBar.dataAsArrayNumber(new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(133, 156, 947, 408, 6)));
    chartOptions.series().add(seriesBar);
		
    seriesBar = new SeriesBar();
    seriesBar.name("Year 2000");
    seriesBar.dataAsArrayNumber(new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(814, 841, 3714, 727, 31)));
    chartOptions.series().add(seriesBar);
		
    seriesBar = new SeriesBar();
    seriesBar.name("Year 2016");
    seriesBar.dataAsArrayNumber(new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(1216, 1001, 4436, 738, 40)));
    chartOptions.series().add(seriesBar);
		
    return highChart;
