Class SeriesColumn

java.lang.Object

com.hyjavacharts.model.common.BaseOption

com.hyjavacharts.model.highcharts.Series

com.hyjavacharts.model.highcharts.series.SeriesColumn

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class SeriesColumn
extends Series

A column series. If the type option is not specified, it is inherited from chart.type.

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 }

Method Detail

getData

public List<Number> getData()

An array of data points for the series. For the column series type, points can be given in the following ways:

1. An array of numerical values. In this case, the numerical values will be interpreted as y options. The x values will be automatically calculated, either starting at 0 and incremented by 1, or from pointStart and pointInterval given in the series options. If the axis has categories, these will be used. Example:

   data: [0, 5, 3, 5] 

2. An array of arrays with 2 values. In this case, the values correspond to x,y. If the first value is a string, it is applied as the name of the point, and the x value is inferred.

   data: [     [0, 6],     [1, 2],     [2, 6] ] 

3. An array of objects with named values. The following snippet shows only a few settings, see the complete options set below. If the total number of data points exceeds the series' turboThreshold, this option is not available.

   data: [{     x: 1,     y: 9,     name: "Point2",     color: "#00FF00" }, {     x: 1,     y: 6,     name: "Point1",     color: "#FF00FF" }] 

Returns:

the data option.

setData

public SeriesColumn setData(List<Number> data)

An array of data points for the series. For the column series type, points can be given in the following ways:

1. An array of numerical values. In this case, the numerical values will be interpreted as y options. The x values will be automatically calculated, either starting at 0 and incremented by 1, or from pointStart and pointInterval given in the series options. If the axis has categories, these will be used. Example:

   data: [0, 5, 3, 5] 

2. An array of arrays with 2 values. In this case, the values correspond to x,y. If the first value is a string, it is applied as the name of the point, and the x value is inferred.

   data: [     [0, 6],     [1, 2],     [2, 6] ] 

3. An array of objects with named values. The following snippet shows only a few settings, see the complete options set below. If the total number of data points exceeds the series' turboThreshold, this option is not available.

   data: [{     x: 1,     y: 9,     name: "Point2",     color: "#00FF00" }, {     x: 1,     y: 6,     name: "Point1",     color: "#FF00FF" }] 

Parameters:

data - the value for the data option.

Returns:

the SeriesColumn object.

getName

public String getName()

The name of the series as shown in the legend, tooltip etc. If a dataTable and dataMapping are used, the name defaults to the id of the primary data table column. Otherwise, it defaults to "Series {n}", where n is the index of the series, starting at 1.

Overrides:

getName in class Series

Returns:

the name option.

setName

public SeriesColumn setName(String name)

The name of the series as shown in the legend, tooltip etc. If a dataTable and dataMapping are used, the name defaults to the id of the primary data table column. Otherwise, it defaults to "Series {n}", where n is the index of the series, starting at 1.

Overrides:

setName in class Series

Parameters:

name - the value for the name option.

Returns:

the SeriesColumn object.
