Highcharts marked area graph

Highcharts graph Highcharts graph

The following example demonstrates the marked area graph.

In the previous section we already know Highcharts configuration syntax. Let's look at how to configure.


Configuration

Use yAxis.plotBands properties to configure marked area. Interval range use 'from' and 'to' attribute. Color settings using the 'color' property. Label style uses 'label' property.

Configuration information:

var yAxis = {
   title: {
      text: 'Wind speed (m/s)'
   },
   min: 0,
   minorGridLineWidth: 0,
   gridLineWidth: 0,
   alternateGridColor: null,
   plotBands: [{ // Light air
      from: 0.3,
      to: 1.5,
      color: 'rgba(68, 170, 213, 0.1)',
      label: {
         text: 'Light air',
         style: {
            color: '#606060'
         }
      }
   }, { // Light breeze
      from: 1.5,
      to: 3.3,
      color: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)',
      label: {
         text: 'Light breeze',
         style: {
            color: '#606060'
         }
      }
   }, { // Gentle breeze
      from: 3.3,
      to: 5.5,
      color: 'rgba(68, 170, 213, 0.1)',
      label: {
         text: 'Gentle breeze',
         style: {
            color: '#606060'
         }   
      }
   }, { // Moderate breeze
      from: 5.5,
      to: 8,
      color: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)',
      label: {
         text: 'Moderate breeze',
         style: {
            color: '#606060'
         }
      }
   }, { // Fresh breeze
      from: 8,
      to: 11,
      color: 'rgba(68, 170, 213, 0.1)',
      label: {
         text: 'Fresh breeze',
         style: {
            color: '#606060'
         }
      }
   }, { // Strong breeze
      from: 11,
      to: 14,
      color: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)',
      label: {
         text: 'Strong breeze',
         style: {
            color: '#606060'
         }
      }   
   }, { // High wind
      from: 14,
      to: 15,
      color: 'rgba(68, 170, 213, 0.1)',
      label: {
         text: 'High wind',
         style: {
            color: '#606060'
         }
      }
   }]
};
