And alternative way of selecting points is through dragging.

Defaults to False.

Return type:

bool or None

Enable or disable the initial animation when a series is displayed.

The animation can also be set as a configuration object. Please note that this option only applies to the initial animation of the series itself. For other animations, see Chart.animation and the animation parameter under the (JavaScript) API methods. The following properties are supported:

  • defer: The animation delay time in milliseconds.

  • duration: The duration of the animation in milliseconds.

  • easing: Can be a string reference to an easing function set on the Math object or a function.

Warning

Due to poor performance, animation is disabled in old IE browsers for several chart types.

Return type:

AnimationOptions or None

property border_color: str | Gradient | Pattern | None

Return type:

numeric or None

property center: List[str | int | float | Decimal | EnforcedNullType] | None

The center of the pie chart relative to the plot area.

Can be percentages or pixel values. The default behaviour if None is to center the pie so that all slices and data labels are within the plot area. As a consequence, the pie may actually jump around in a chart with dynamic values, as the data labels move. In that case, the center should be explicitly set, for example to ["50%", "50%"].

Defaults to ['50%', '50%'].

Return type:

None or list of numeric or str values

An array specifying which option maps to which key in the data point array.

This makes it convenient to work with unstructured data arrays from different sources.

Return type:

list of str, or None

property label: SeriesLabel | None

Series labels are placed as close to the series as possible in a natural way, seeking to avoid other series. The goal of this feature is to make the chart more easily readable, like if a human designer placed the labels in the optimal position.

Note

The series labels currently work with series types having a graph or an area.

Return type:

SeriesLabel or None

property linecap: str | None

Return type:

str or None

property marker: Marker | None

Options for the point markers of line-like series.

Same as for Accessibility.series.description_formatter(), only for an individual series. Overrides the chart-wide configuration.

Return type:

CallbackFunction or None

property reversed: bool | None

If True, the widest area of the funnel is lower down. A reversed funnel with no neck width and neck height is a pyramid.

Defaults to False.

Return type:

bool or None

property selected: bool | None

If True, the series is selected initially (by default, without user interaction). Defaults to False.

Note

If GenericTypeOptions.show_checkbox() is True, then the checkbox will be checked if selected is True.

Return type:

bool or None

property show_checkbox: bool | None

If True, a checkbox is displayed next to the legend item to allow selecting the series.

Note

The state of the checkbox is controlled by the GenericTypeOptions.selected() property.

Return type:

bool or None

property show_in_legend: bool | None

Whether to display this particular series or series type in the legend. Standalone series are shown in the legend by default, and linked series are not.

Return type:

bool or None

property size: str | int | None

The diameter of the pie relative to the plot area, expressed as a percentage or pixel value given as an integer.

If None, scales the pie to the plot area and gives room for data labels within the plot area.

Note

PieOptions.sliced_offset() is also included in the default size calculation. As a consequence, the size of the pie may vary when points are updated and data labels more around. In that case it is best to set a fixed value, for example "75%".

Return type:

str, int, or None

property skip_keyboard_navigation: bool | None

If True, the accessibility module will skip past this series when executing keyboard navigation.

Return type:

bool or None

Configuration for state-specific configuration to apply to the data series.

Return type:

States or None

property sticky_tracking: bool | None

Sticky tracking of mouse events.

When True, the (JavaScript) mouseOut event on a series is not triggered until the mouse moves over another series, or out of the plot area.

When False, the (JavaScript) mouseOut event on a series is triggered when the mouse leaves the area around the series’ graph or markers. This also implies the tooltip when not shared.

When False and PlotOptions.tooltip.shared() is also False, the tooltip will be hidden when moving the mouse between series.

Defaults to True for line and area type series, but to False for columns, pies, etc.

Note

The boost module will force this option because of technical limitations.

Return type:

property tooltip: Tooltip | None

A configuration object for the tooltip rendering of each single series. Properties are inherited from tooltip, but only the following properties can be defined on a series level.

Return type:

Tooltip or None

property turbo_threshold: int | None

When a series contains a data array longer than this value, only one dimensional arrays of numbers, or two dimensional arrays with x and y values are allowed. Also, only the first point is tested, and the rest are assumed to be the same format. This saves expensive data checking and indexing in long series. Set it to 0 or None to disable.

Defaults to 1000.

Note

In boost mode, turbo threshold is forced. Only array of numbers or two dimensional arrays are allowed.

Return type:

int or None

property border_color: str | Gradient | Pattern | None

property border_width: int | float | Decimal | None

The width of the border surrounding each slice. Defaults to 1.

When setting the border width to 0, there may be small gaps between the slices due to SVG antialiasing artefacts. To work around this, keep the border width at 0.5 or 1, but set the border_color to None instead.

Return type:

numeric or None

property center: List[str | int | float | Decimal | EnforcedNullType] | None

The center of the pie chart relative to the plot area.

Can be percentages or pixel values. The default behaviour if None is to center the pie so that all slices and data labels are within the plot area. As a consequence, the pie may actually jump around in a chart with dynamic values, as the data labels move. In that case, the center should be explicitly set, for example to ["50%", "50%"].

Defaults to ['50%', '50%'].

Return type:

None or list of numeric or str values

property center_in_category: bool | None

If True, the columns will center in the category, ignoring null or missing points. When False, space will be reserved for null or missing points. Defaults to False.

Return type:

bool or None

property class_name: str | None

The additional CSS class name to apply to the series’ graphical elements.

Note

This option is additive to the default class names - it does not replace them.

Return type:

str or None

property clip: bool | None

If False, allows the series to be rendered in the entire plot area. If True, constrains where the series can be rendered within the plot area. Defaults to True.

Return type:

bool or None

property color: str | Gradient | Pattern | None

The main color of the series.

In line type series it applies to the line and the point markers unless otherwise specified. In bar type series it applies to the bars unless a color is specified per point. The default value is pulled from the Options.colors() array.

Returns:

The main color applied to the series.

Return type:

str, Gradient, Pattern`, or None

property color_axis: str | int | bool | None

When using dual or multiple color axes, this setting defines which color axis the particular series is connected to. It refers to either the ColorAxis.id() or the index of the axis in the ColorAxis array, with 0 being the first. Set this option to False to prevent a series from connecting to the default color axis.

Defaults to 0.

Return type:

None or str or int or bool

property color_by_point: bool | None

When using automatic point colors pulled from the global colors or series-specific collections, this option determines whether the chart should receive one color per series (False) or one color per point (True).

Defaults to True.

Return type:

bool or None

property color_index: int | None

When operating in styled mode, a specific color index to use for the series, so that its graphic representations are given the class name highcharts-color-{n}.

Defaults to None.

Return type:

int or None

property color_key: str | None

Determines what data value should be used to calculate point color if PieOptions.color_axis() is used.

Note

Requires to set min and max if some custom point property is used or if approximation for data grouping is set to 'sum'.

Return type:

str or None

property colors: List[str | Gradient | Pattern] | None

A series-specific or series type-specific color set to apply instead of the global colors when ArcDiagramOptions.color_by_point() is True.

If True, connect the ends of a line series plot across the extremes. Defaults to None.

Warning

Applies to polar charts only.

Return type:

bool or None

property connect_nulls: bool | None

If True, connect a graph line across null points. If False, renders a gap between the points on either side of the null point. Defaults to False.

Return type:

bool or None

property crisp: bool | None

If True, each point or column edge is rounded to its nearest pixel in order to render sharp on screen. Defaults to True.

Hint

In some cases, when there are a lot of densely packed columns, this leads to visible difference in column widths or distance between columns. In these cases, setting crisp to False may look better, even though each column is rendered blurry.

Return type:

bool or None

property crop_threshold: int | None

When the series contains less points than the crop threshold, all points are drawn, even if the points fall outside the visible plot area at the current zoom. Defaults to 300.

The advantage of drawing all points (including markers and columns), is that animation is performed on updates. On the other hand, when the series contains more points than the crop threshold, the series data is cropped to only contain points that fall within the plot area. The advantage of cropping away invisible points is to increase performance on large series.

Return type:

int or None

property cursor: str | None

The style of cursor to use when the user’s mouse hovers over the data series.

  • point.dragStart

  • point.drag

  • point.drop

Return type:

DragDropOptions or None

property edge_color: str | None

The color of the edges when rendering 3D columns. Defaults to None.

Similar to border_color, except it defaults to the same color as the column if set to None.

Return type:

str or None

property edge_width: int | float | Decimal | None

The width of the colored edges applied to a 3D column. Defaults to 1.

Return type:

numeric or None

property enable_mouse_tracking: bool | None

If True, enables mouse tracking for the series (used to capture point tooltips, click events on graphs and points, etc.). If False, disables mouse tracking for the series (which can help performance). Defaults to True.

Return type:

bool or None

property end_angle: int | float | Decimal | None

The end angle of the pie in degrees where 0 is top and 90 is right. Defaults to None, which is equivalent to start_angle plus 360.

Return type:

numeric or None

property events: SeriesEvents | None

General event handlers for the series items.

Note

These event hooks can also be attached to the series at run time using the (JavaScript) Highcharts.addEvent() function.

Return type:

SeriesEvents or None

property fill_color: str | Gradient | Pattern | None

If the total sum of the pie’s values is 0, the series is represented as an empty circle . The fill_color setting defines the color of that circle. Use PieOptions.border_width() to set the border thickness.

Defaults to None.

Return type:

None, Gradient, or Pattern

property find_nearest_point_by: str | None

Determines whether the series should look for the nearest point in both dimensions or just the x-dimension when hovering the series.

If None, defaults to 'xy' for scatter series and 'x' for most other series. If the data has duplicate x-values, it is recommended to set this to 'xy' to allow hovering over all points.

Applies only to series types using nearest neighbor search (not direct hover) for tooltip.

Return type:

str or None

property get_extremes_from_all: bool | None

If True, uses the Y extremes of the total chart width or only the zoomed area when zooming in on parts of the X axis. By default, the Y axis adjusts to the min and max of the visible data.

Warning

Applies to Cartesian series only.

Return type:

bool or None

property gradient_for_sides: bool | None

If True, sides fill is set to a gradient. If False, sides are rendered with a solid color. Defaults to None, which is equivalent to True.

Return type:

bool or None.

property group_padding: int | float | Decimal | None

Padding between each value group, in x axis units. Defaults to 0.2.

Return type:

numeric or None

property group_z_padding: int | float | Decimal | None

Spacing between columns along the Z axis in a 3D chart. Defaults to 1.

Return type:

numeric or None

property grouping: bool | None

Defaults to True.

Return type:

bool or None

property height: str | int | float | Decimal | None

The height of the funnel or pyramid. Defaults to '100%'.

If it is a number, it defines the height in pixels. If it is a percentage string, the height represents the percentage of the plot area height.

Return type:

str, numeric, or None

Defaults to True.

Return type:

bool or None

property include_in_data_export: bool | None

If False, will prevent the data series from being included in any form of data export. Defaults to True.

Return type:

bool or None

property inner_size: str | int | None

The size of the inner diameter for the pie, expressed as a percentage or pixel value. Defaults to 0.

Hint

A size greater than 0 renders a donut chart.

Note

Percentages are relative to the pie size. Pixel values are given as integers.

Warning

If PieOptions.thickness() is set, this value will be overridden by the thickness setting.

Return type:

str, int, or None

property keys: List[str] | None

An array specifying which option maps to which key in the data point array.

This makes it convenient to work with unstructured data arrays from different sources.

Return type:

list of str, or None

property label: SeriesLabel | None

Series labels are placed as close to the series as possible in a natural way, seeking to avoid other series. The goal of this feature is to make the chart more easily readable, like if a human designer placed the labels in the optimal position.

Note

The series labels currently work with series types having a graph or an area.

Return type:

SeriesLabel or None

property line_width: int | float | Decimal | None

Pixel width of the graph line. Defaults to 2.

Return type:

numeric or None

property linecap: str | None

The SVG value used for the stroke-linecap and stroke-linejoin of a line graph. Defaults to 'round', which means that lines are rounded in the ends and bends.

Return type:

str or None

property linked_to: str | None

The id of another series to link to.

Hint

The value can be ':previous' to link to the previous series. When two series are linked, only the first one appears in the legend. Toggling the visibility of this also toggles the linked series.

Note

If the master series uses data sorting and linked series does not have its own sorting definition, the linked series will be sorted in the same order as the master one.

Return type:

str or None

property marker: Marker | None

Options for the point markers of line-like series.

Properties like fill_color, line_color and line_width define the visual appearance of the markers. Other series types, like column series, don’t have markers, but have visual options on the series level instead.

Return type:

Marker or None

property max_point_width: int | float | Decimal | None

The maximum allowed pixel width for a column, translated to the height of a bar in a bar chart. This prevents the columns from becoming too wide when there is a small number of points in the chart. Defaults to None.

Return type:

numeric or None

property min_point_length: int | float | Decimal | None

The minimal height for a column or width for a bar. Defaults to 0.

By default, 0 values are not shown. To visualize a 0 (or close to zero) point, set the minimal point length to a pixel value like 3.

Warning

In stacked column charts, min_point_length might not be respected for tightly packed values.

Return type:

numeric or None

property min_size: str | int | float | Decimal | None

The minimum size for a pie in response to auto margins, expressed in pixels or percentages. Defaults to 80.

Note

The pie will try to shrink to make room for data labels in side the plot area, but only to this size.

Return type:

str, int, or None

property neck_height: str | int | float | Decimal | None

The height of the neck, the lower part of the funnel. Defaults to '25%'.

Return type:

str, numeric, or None

property neck_width: str | int | float | Decimal | None

The width of the neck, the lower part of the funnel. Defaults to '30%'.

A number defines pixel width, a percentage string defines a percentage of the plot area width.

Return type:

str, numeric, or None

property negative_color: str | Gradient | Pattern | None

The color for the parts of the graph or points that are below the AreaOptions.threshold().

Note

Zones take precedence over the negative color. Using negative_color is equivalent to applying a zone with value of 0.

Return type:

None, Gradient, Pattern, or str

property on_point: OnPointOptions | None

Options for the Series on point feature, which is currently only supported by pie and sunburst chargs.

Return type:

OnPointOptions or None

property opacity: float | None

Return type:

float

property point: Point | None

Properties for each single point.

Return type:

Point or None

property point_description_formatter: CallbackFunction | None

Same as for Accessibility.series.description_formatter(), only for an individual series. Overrides the chart-wide configuration.

Return type:

CallbackFunction or None

property point_interval: int | float | Decimal | None

If no x values are given for the points in a series, point_interval defines the interval of the x values. Defaults to 1.

For example, if a series contains one value every decade starting from year 0, set point_interval to 10. In true datetime axes, the point_interval is set in milliseconds.

Hint

point_interval can be also be combined with point_interval_unit to draw irregular time intervals.

Note

If combined with relative_x_value, an x value can be set on each point, and the point_interval is added x times to the point_start setting.

Warning

This options applies to the series data, not the interval of the axis ticks, which is independent.

Return type:

numeric or None

property point_interval_unit: str | None

On datetime series, this allows for setting the point_interval to irregular time units, day, month, and year.

A day is usually the same as 24 hours, but point_interval_unit also takes the DST crossover into consideration when dealing with local time.

Combine this option with point_interval to draw weeks, quarters, 6 month periods, 10 year periods, etc.

Warning

This options applies to the series data, not the interval of the axis ticks, which is independent.

Return type:

str or None

property point_padding: int | float | Decimal | None

Padding between each column or bar, in x axis units. Defaults to 0.1.

Return type:

numeric or None

property point_placement: str | int | float | Decimal | None

Used to determine the placement of the point in relation to tick marks on the X axis. Defaults to None, which behaves as undefined in cartesian charts, and "between" in polar charts.

Accepts possible values:

  • 'on' - where the point will not create any padding of the X axis. In a polar column chart this means that the first column points directly north.

  • "between" - where the columns will be laid out between ticks. This is useful for example for visualising an amount between two points in time or in a certain sector of a polar chart.

  • a numeric value - where 0 is on the axis value, -0.5 is between this value and the previous, and 0.5 is between this value and the next. Unlike the textual options, numeric point placement options won’t affect axis padding.

Warning

Requires point_range to work. For column series this is computed, but for line-type series it needs to be set.

Note

For the xrange series type and gantt charts, if the Y axis is a category axis, the point_placement applies to the Y axis rather than the (typically datetime) X axis.

Return type:

str or None

property point_range: int | float | Decimal | EnforcedNullType | None

The X axis range that each point is valid for, which determines the width of the column. Defaults to EnforcedNull, which computes the range automatically.

On a categorized axis, the range will be 1 by default (one category unit). On linear and datetime axes, the range will be computed as the distance between the two closest data points.

The default EnforcedNull means it is computed automatically, but the setting can be used to override the default value.

Note

If data_sorting is enabled, the default value is implicitly adjusted to 1.

Return type:

numeric or EnforcedNullType or None

property point_start: int | float | Decimal | None

If no x values are given for the points in a series, point_start defines on what value to start. For example, if a series contains one yearly value starting from 1945, set point_start to 1945. Defaults to 0.

Note

If combined with relative_x_value, an x value can be set on each point. The x value from the point options is multiplied by point_interval and added to point_start to produce a modified x value.

Return type:

numeric or None

property point_width: int | float | Decimal | None

A pixel value specifying a fixed width for each column or bar point. When set to None, the width is calculated from the point_padding and group_padding. Defaults to None.

The width effects the dimension that is not based on the point value. For column series, this is the hoizontal length while for bar series it is the vertical length.

Return type:

numeric or None

property relative_x_value: bool | None

When True, X values in the data set are relative to the current point_start, point_interval, and point_interval_unit settings. This allows compression of the data for datasets with irregular X values. Defaults to False.

The real X values are computed on the formula f(x) = ax + b, where a is the point_interval (optionally with a time unit given by point_interval_unit), and b is the point_start.

Return type:

bool or None

property reversed: bool | None

If True, the widest area of the funnel is lower down. A reversed funnel with no neck width and neck height is a pyramid.

Defaults to False.

Return type:

bool or None

property selected: bool | None

If True, the series is selected initially (by default, without user interaction). Defaults to False.

Note

If GenericTypeOptions.show_checkbox() is True, then the checkbox will be checked if selected is True.

Return type:

bool or None

property shadow: bool | ShadowOptions | None

Configuration for the shadow to apply to the tooltip. Defaults to False.

If False, no shadow is applied.

Returns:

The shadow configuration to apply or a boolean setting which hides the shadow or displays the default shadow.

Return type:

bool or ShadowOptions

property show_checkbox: bool | None

If True, a checkbox is displayed next to the legend item to allow selecting the series.

Note

The state of the checkbox is controlled by the GenericTypeOptions.selected() property.

Return type:

bool or None

property show_in_legend: bool | None

Whether to display this particular series or series type in the legend. Standalone series are shown in the legend by default, and linked series are not.

Return type:

bool or None

property size: str | int | None

The diameter of the pie relative to the plot area, expressed as a percentage or pixel value given as an integer.

If None, scales the pie to the plot area and gives room for data labels within the plot area.

Note

PieOptions.sliced_offset() is also included in the default size calculation. As a consequence, the size of the pie may vary when points are updated and data labels more around. In that case it is best to set a fixed value, for example "75%".

Return type:

str, int, or None

property skip_keyboard_navigation: bool | None

If True, the accessibility module will skip past this series when executing keyboard navigation.

Return type:

bool or None

property sliced_offset: int | float | Decimal | None

If a point is sliced, moved out from the center, how many pixels should it be moved? Defaults to 10.

Return type:

numeric or None

property soft_threshold: bool | None

When True, the series will not cause the Y axis to cross the zero plane (or threshold option) unless the data actually crosses the plane. Defaults to True.

For example, if False, a series of 0, 1, 2, 3 will make the Y axis show negative values according to the min_padidng option. If True, the Y axis starts at 0.

Return type:

bool

property sonification: SeriesSonification | None

Sonification configuration for the series type/series.

Return type:

SeriesSonification or None

property stacking: str | None

Whether to stack the values of each series on top of each other. Defaults to None.

Acceptable values are:

  • None to disable stacking,

  • "normal" to stack by value or

  • "percent"

  • 'stream' (for streamgraph series type only)

  • 'overlap' (for waterfall series type only)

Note

When stacking is enabled, data must be sorted in ascending X order.

The start angle of the dependency wheel, in degrees where 0 is up. Defaults to 0.

Return type:

numeric or None

property states: States | None

Configuration for state-specific configuration to apply to the data series.

Return type:

States or None

property step: str | None

Whether to apply steps to the line. Defaults to None.

Possible values are:

  • None

  • 'left'

  • 'center'

  • 'right'

Return type:

str or None

property sticky_tracking: bool | None

Sticky tracking of mouse events.

When True, the (JavaScript) mouseOut event on a series is not triggered until the mouse moves over another series, or out of the plot area.

When False, the (JavaScript) mouseOut event on a series is triggered when the mouse leaves the area around the series’ graph or markers. This also implies the tooltip when not shared.

When False and PlotOptions.tooltip.shared() is also False, the tooltip will be hidden when moving the mouse between series.

Defaults to True for line and area type series, but to False for columns, pies, etc.

Note

The boost module will force this option because of technical limitations.

Return type:

bool or None

property thickness: int | None

Thickness describing the ring size for a donut type chart, overriding PieOptions.inner_size(). Defaults to None.

Return type:

int or None

property threshold: int | float | Decimal | EnforcedNullType | None

The Y axis value to serve as the base for the columns, for distinguishing between values above and below a threshold. Defaults to 0.

If EnforcedNullType, the columns extend from the padding Y axis minimum.

Return type:

numeric or EnforcedNullType or None

property tooltip: Tooltip | None

A configuration object for the tooltip rendering of each single series. Properties are inherited from tooltip, but only the following properties can be defined on a series level.

Return type:

Tooltip or None

property turbo_threshold: int | None

When a series contains a data array longer than this value, only one dimensional arrays of numbers, or two dimensional arrays with x and y values are allowed. Also, only the first point is tested, and the rest are assumed to be the same format. This saves expensive data checking and indexing in long series. Set it to 0 or None to disable.

Defaults to 1000.

Note

In boost mode, turbo threshold is forced. Only array of numbers or two dimensional arrays are allowed.

Return type:

int or None

property type: str

Indicates the type of series that is represented by this instance.

Warning

This proprety is read-only!
