Highcharts dynamic map

This chapter we will introduce Highcharts dynamic map.

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


Update second graph

chart.events

Added load method (Chart load event) chart.event property. In 1000 milliseconds randomly generated data points and generate charts.

chart: {
   events: {
      load: function () {
         // 图表每秒更新一次
         var series = this.series[0];
         setInterval(function () {
            var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // 当期时间
            y = Math.random();
            series.addPoint([x, y], true, true);
         }, 1000);
      }
   }
}

By clicking the Add Data

chart.events

Add click method (click event on the entire chart plot area occurred) in chart.event property. This method on the chart plot area will add a new data point click occurs.

chart: {
   events: {
      click: function (e) {
         // 获取点击坐标和数据项
         var x = e.xAxis[0].value,
         y = e.yAxis[0].value,
         series = this.series[0];
         // 添加点击的坐标
         series.addPoint([x, y]);
      }
   }
}
