The following example demonstrates a stacked bar chart.

In the previous section we already know Highcharts basic configuration syntax. Let's look at the other configurations.


Configuration

plotOptions

Configuring Chart stacked use plotOptions.series.stacking, and set to "normal". If you disable the stack can be set to null, "normal" by setting the value of the stack, "percent" stacked press percentage.

var plotOptions = {
   series: {
      stacking: 'normal'      
   }
};
