Class PlotOptions

java.lang.Object

com.hyjavacharts.model.common.BaseOption

com.hyjavacharts.model.highcharts.PlotOptions

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class PlotOptions
extends BaseOption

The plotOptions is a wrapper object for config objects for each series type. The config objects for each series can also be overridden for each series item as given in the series array.

Configuration options for the series are given in three levels. Options for all series in a chart are given in the plotOptions.series object. Then options for all series of a specific type are given in the plotOptions of that type, for example plotOptions.line. Next, options for one single series are given in the series array.

Method Detail

getColumn

public Column getColumn()

Column series display one column per value along an X axis.

Configuration options for the series are given in three levels:

1. Options for all series in a chart are defined in the plotOptions.series object.
2. Options for all column series are defined in plotOptions.column.
3. Options for one single series are given in the series instance array.

Highcharts.chart('container', {     plotOptions: {         series: {             // general options for all series         },         column: {             // shared options for all column series         }     },     series: [{         // specific options for this series instance         type: 'column'     }] }); 

TypeScript:

• type option should always be set, otherwise a broad set of unsupported options is allowed.
• when accessing an array of series, the combined set of all series types is represented by Highcharts.SeriesOptionsType . Narrowing down to the specific type can be done by checking the type property.

if (chart.options.series?.[0]?.type === column) {     // code specific to the column series } 

Returns:

the column option.

setColumn

public PlotOptions setColumn(Column column)

Column series display one column per value along an X axis.

Configuration options for the series are given in three levels:

1. Options for all series in a chart are defined in the plotOptions.series object.
2. Options for all column series are defined in plotOptions.column.
3. Options for one single series are given in the series instance array.

Highcharts.chart('container', {     plotOptions: {         series: {             // general options for all series         },         column: {             // shared options for all column series         }     },     series: [{         // specific options for this series instance         type: 'column'     }] });

• type option should always be set, otherwise a broad set of unsupported options is allowed.
• when accessing an array of series, the combined set of all series types is represented by Highcharts.SeriesOptionsType . Narrowing down to the specific type can be done by checking the type property.

if (chart.options.series?.[0]?.type === column) {     // code specific to the column series } 

Parameters:

column - the value for the column option.

Returns:

the PlotOptions object.
