Highcharts asynchronous load data curve chart

Highcharts graph Highcharts graph

The following example demonstrates asynchronously load data curve chart. Here we load the csv file from the asynchronous by jQuery.getJSON () method:

In the previous section we already know Highcharts configuration syntax. Let's look at a complete example:

Importing files data.js

Asynchronous loading data necessary to introduce the following js file: 

<script src="http://code.highcharts.com/modules/data.js"></script>

Configuration

X axis

A weekly interval X axis: 

var xAxis = {
   tickInterval: 7 * 24 * 3600 * 1000, // 一周
   tickWidth: 0,
   gridLineWidth: 1,
   labels: {
      align: 'left',
      x: 3,
      y: -3
   }
};

Y axis

A weekly interval Y axis:

Configuring two Y-axis: 

var yAxis = [{ // 左边 Y 轴
      title: {
         text: null
      },
      labels: {
         align: 'left',
         x: 3,
         y: 16,
         format: '{value:.,0f}'
      },
      showFirstLabel: false
  },{ // 右边 Y 轴
      linkedTo: 0,
      gridLineWidth: 0,
      opposite: true,
      title: {
         text: null
      },
      labels: {
         align: 'right',
         x: -3,
         y: 16,
         format: '{value:.,0f}'
      },
      showFirstLabel: false
   }
];

plotOptions

plotOptions used to set the chart data points related properties. 

 var plotOptions = {
   series: {
      cursor: 'pointer',
      point: {
         events: {
            click: function (e) {
               hs.htmlExpand(null, {
                  pageOrigin: {
                     x: e.pageX || e.clientX,
                     y: e.pageY || e.clientY
                  },
                  headingText: this.series.name,
                  maincontentText: Highcharts.dateFormat('%A, %b %e, %Y', this.x) 
                     + ':<br/> ' + this.y + ' visits',
                  width: 200
               });
            } 
         }
      },
      marker: {
        lineWidth: 1
      }
   }
}
