echart data point gradient color

I am trying to make a gradient line chart, The issue is with tooltip legend color and color of data points, they appear in brown gradient which was the default.
I was able to change the tooltip color, anyhow that is not the actual data point color but able to fix it to one color at least. whereas the points on the line do not pick up the color of the line.
Can someone point me in right direction?
var dom = document.getElementById("container");
var myChart = echarts.init(dom);
var app = {};
var option;
var data = [["2020-06-05",116],["2020-06-06",129],["2020-06-07",135],["2020-06-08",86],["2020-06-09",73],["2020-06-10",85],["2020-06-11",73],["2020-06-12",68],["2020-06-13",92],["2020-06-14",130],["2020-06-15",245],["2020-06-16",139],["2020-06-17",115],["2020-06-18",111],["2020-06-19",309],["2020-06-20",206],["2020-06-21",137],["2020-06-22",128],["2020-06-23",85],["2020-06-24",94],["2020-06-25",71],["2020-06-26",106],["2020-06-27",84],["2020-06-28",93],["2020-06-29",85],["2020-06-30",73],["2020-07-01",83],["2020-07-02",125],["2020-07-03",107],["2020-07-04",82],["2020-07-05",44],["2020-07-06",72],["2020-07-07",106],["2020-07-08",107],["2020-07-09",66],["2020-07-10",91],["2020-07-11",92],["2020-07-12",113],["2020-07-13",107],["2020-07-14",131],["2020-07-15",111],["2020-07-16",64],["2020-07-17",69],["2020-07-18",88],["2020-07-19",77],["2020-07-20",83],["2020-07-21",111],["2020-07-22",57],["2020-07-23",55],["2020-07-24",60]];

console.log(myChart);
if (option && typeof option === 'object') {
myChart.setOption(option);
}

You need to add gradientColor array to echarts options. Now echart will take care of changing color of tooltip and data point. You can also remove your custom tooltip formatted function.
gradientColor: ["#00d4ff", "#090979"]
Here the complete options object:
var data = [];
var dateList = data.map(function(item) {
return item[0];
});
var valueList = data.map(function(item) {
return item[1];
});
option = {
gradientColor: ["#00d4ff", "#090979"],
// Make gradient line here
visualMap: [
{
show: true,
type: "continuous",
seriesIndex: 0,
min: 0,
max: 400
}
],
title: [
{
left: "center",
text: "Gradient along the y axis"
}
],
xAxis: [
{
data: dateList,
axisPointer: {
label: {
color: ["#5470c6"]
}
},
axisLabel: {
formatter: function(value) {
return moment(value).format("MMM YY");
// And other formatter tool (e.g. moment) can be used here.
}
}
}
],
yAxis: [
{
type: "value",
axisPointer: {
label: {
color: ["#5470c6"]
}
}
}
],
grid: [
{
width: "auto",

}

}
},

}
}
]
};

Change highcharts data label position

This is my jsfiddle link http://jsfiddle.net/bb1m6xyk/1/
I want that all my labels like my data: 0 etc are positioned at the base and in center of each zone.
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'area'
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Percent'
}
},
plotOptions: {
area: {
enableMouseTracking: false,
showInLegend: false,
stacking: 'percent',
lineWidth: 0,
marker: {
enabled: false
},
dataLabels: {
className:'highlight',
enabled: true,
formatter: function () {
console.log(this);
return this.point.myData
}
}
}
},
series: [{
name: 'over',
color: 'none',
data: overData
}, {
id: 's1',
name: 'Series 1',
data: data,
showInLegend: true,
zoneAxis: 'x',
zones: zones
}]
});
Is this possible? I tried it using className on dataLabels but it doesn't take that into effect.
Any help is appreciated.

There are a few ways to render labels on a chart.
The Renderer
Live example: http://jsfiddle.net/11rj6k6p/
You can use Renderer.label to render the label on the chart - this is a low level approach but it gives you full control how the labels will be rendered. You can loop the zones and set x and y attributes of the labels, e.g. like this:
const labels = ['l1', 'l2', 'l3', 'l4', 'l5']
function drawLabels() {
const zonesLabels = this.zonesLabels
const series = this.get('s1')
const { yAxis, xAxis } = series
const y = yAxis.toPixels(0) - 20 // -20 is an additional offset in px
series.zones.reduce((prev, curr, i) => {
if (curr.value !== undefined) {
const x = (xAxis.toPixels(prev.value) + xAxis.toPixels(curr.value)) / 2
if (!zonesLabels[i]) {
zonesLabels.push(
this.renderer.label(labels[i], x, y).add().attr({
align: 'center',
zIndex: 10
})
)
} else {
zonesLabels[i].attr({ x, y })
}
}
return curr
}, { value: series.dataMin })
}
Then set the function on load - to render the labels, and on redraw - to reposition the labels if the chart size changed.
chart: {
type: 'area',
events: {
load: function() {
this.zonesLabels = []
drawLabels.call(this)
},
redraw: drawLabels
}
},
The annotations module
Live example: http://jsfiddle.net/a5gb7aqz/
If you do not want to use the Renderer API, you can use the annotations module which allows to declare labels in a chart config.
Add the module
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/annotations.js"></script>
Map zones to the labels config object
const labels = ['l1', 'l2', 'l3', 'l4', 'l5']
function annotationsLabels() {
const zonesLabels = []
zones.reduce((prev, curr, i) => {
zonesLabels.push({
text: labels[i],
point: {
x: (prev.value + curr.value) / 2,
y: 0,
xAxis: 0,
yAxis: 0
}
})
return curr
}, { value: 0 })
return zonesLabels
}
Set the annotations options
annotations: [{
labels: annotationsLabels(),
labelOptions: {
shape: 'rect',
backgroundColor: 'none',
borderColor: 'none',
x: 0,
y: 0
}
}],
Data labels and a new series
Live example: http://jsfiddle.net/wpk1495g/
You can create a new scatter series which will not respond to mouse events and it won't be visible in the legend. The labels can be displayed as data labels.
Map zones to series points
const labels = ['l1', 'l2', 'l3', 'l4', 'l5']
function seriesData() {
const points = []
zones.reduce((prev, curr, i) => {
points.push( {
x: (prev.value + curr.value) / 2,
y: 50,
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
format: labels[i]
}
})
return curr
}, { value: 0 })
return points
}
Set the series options in the chart config
, {
type: 'scatter',
enableMouseTracking: false,
showInLegend: false,
data: seriesData(),
zIndex: 10,
color: 'none',
dataLabels: { style: { textOutline: false }, x: 0, y: 0 }
}

HighStock chart giving undefined error

Having a problem with high-chart trying to get it to use multiple series, it get half way then stops recognising the data.
I don't get why it starts okay in the debugger, then fails when i is around 6 or 7.
Here's the code
function buildAndUpdateTempChart() {
$.getJSON('server/getReadings.php', function (data) {
$('#chartContainer').highcharts('StockChart', {
chart:{
events: {
load: function(){
// set up the updating of the chart each second
//debugger;
var series = this.series[0];
//console.log('data is: ' + data);
for(var i = 0; i < data.length - 1; i++){
this.series[0].addPoint(data[i].temp, data[i].timestamp, true, true);
this.series[1].addPoint(data[i].aTemp, data[i].timestamp, true, true);
}
// setInterval(function () {
// //get tick
// var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
// y = Math.round(Math.random() * 100);
// series.addPoint([x, y], true, true);
// }, 1000);

Highcharts bar chart wont animate

Not sure why because I have done it in the past, but I have a Highcharts bar chart and it won't animate. This is the declaration of the chart,
function initializeData() {
$http.get(url).success(function(ret) {
$scope.jsondata = ret;
var newdata = [];
for (x = 0; x < 5; x++) {
newdata.push({
name: setName($scope.jsondata[x].name),
y: $scope.jsondata[x].data[0],
color: getColor($scope.jsondata[x].data[0])
});
}
$scope.chart.series[0].setData(newdata);
});
mainInterval = $interval(updateData, 5000);
}
function updateData() {
$http.get(url).success(function(ret) {
$scope.jsondata = ret;
console.debug("here");
for (x = 0; x < 5; x++) {
$scope.chart.series[0].data[x].update({
y: $scope.jsondata[x].data[0],
color: getColor($scope.jsondata[x].data[0])
});
}
});
}
$scope.chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'bar',
animation: true,
events: {
load: initializeData
}
},
title: {
text: ''
},
xAxis: {
type: 'category',
labels: {
style: {
fontSize: '11px'
}
}
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
max: 100,
title: {
text: 'Total Score',
align: 'high'
}
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
tooltip: {
pointFormat: 'Total Score <b>{point.y:.3f}</b>'
},
series: [{
name: 'Active Users',
data: [],
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
rotation: 30,
style: {
fontSize: '10px',
fontFamily: 'Verdana, sans-serif'
},
format: '{point.y:.3f}', // one decimal
}
}]
});
And as you can see I have animate : true, so I am not sure what is the problem here. I have this older plunker where all of the data is in separate series, but it animates fine. But this is the plunker I am working on and having trouble with. They are like identical basically. In the newer one I broke out the initialization of data into its own method, but that is the only real main difference.
Some edits:
So as I was saying, I have done things this way with an areaspline chart (I know it was said they work a bit different but they are set up identically).
function initializeData() {
$interval.cancel(mainInterval);
$scope.previousPackets = '';
$http.get("https://api.myjson.com/bins/nodx").success(function(returnedData) {
var newdata = [];
var x = (new Date()).getTime();
for (var step = 9; step >= 0; step--) {
newdata.push([x - 1000 * step, 0]);
}
$scope.chart.series[0].setData(newdata);
});
mainInterval = $interval(updateData, 2000);
}
function updateData() {
$http.get(url + acronym + '/latest').success(function(returnedData) {
var x = (new Date()).getTime();
if ($scope.previousPackets != returnedData[0].numPackets) {
$scope.chart.series[0].addPoint([x, returnedData[0].numPackets], true, true);
$scope.previousPackets = returnedData[0].numPackets;
} else {
$scope.chart.series[0].addPoint([x, 0], true, true);
}
});
}
$scope.chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'areaspline',
animation: Highcharts.svg, // don't animate in old IE
marginRight: 10,
events: {
load: initializeData
}
},
title: {
text: ''
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
tickPixelInterval: 150
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Packets'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#d9534f'
}]
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function() {
return Highcharts.numberFormat(this.y) + ' packets<b> | </b>' + Highcharts.dateFormat('%H:%M:%S', this.x);
}
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Packets',
data: []
}]
});
I also updated the first chunk of code with the initializeData() method and updateData() method which are seemingly identical in both different charts.

It looks like it plays an important role if you provide your data at chart initialization or after. For simplicity I refactored your code a little
function initializeChart(initialData, onload) {
$scope.chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'bar',
animation: true,
events: {
load: onload
}
....
series: [{
name: 'Active Users',
data: initialData,
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
format: '{point.y:.3f}', // one decimal
}
}]
});
}
function getData(callback) {
$http.get(url).success(function(ret) {
$scope.jsondata = ret;
var newdata = [];
for (x = 0; x < 5; x++) {
newdata.push([setName(ret[x].name), ret[x].data]);
}
callback(newdata);
});
}
As a result your two planks are in essense reduced to two methods below. The first initializes chart with preloaded data and the second updates data in existing chart.
function readDataFirst() {
getData(function(newdata) {
initializeChart(newdata);
});
}
function initializeChartFirst() {
initializeChart([], function() {
getData(function(newdata) {
$scope.chart.series[0].setData(newdata);
})
});
}
The first one animates fine while the second does not. It looks like highcharts skips animation if dataset is not initial and is treated incompatible.
However if you really want to have animation in your current plant (chart first workflow) you can achieve that by initializing first serie with zeros and then with the real data. This case it will be treated as update
function forceAnimationByDoubleInitialization() {
getData(function(newdata) {
initializeChart([]);
var zerodata = newdata.map(function(item) {
return [item[0], 0]
});
$scope.chart.series[0].setData(zerodata);
$scope.chart.series[0].setData(newdata);
});
All these options are available at http://plnkr.co/edit/pZhBJoV7PmjDNRNOj2Uc

How to add multiple series dynamically and update its data dynamically

my task is to add series dynamically and keep updating their data, which is received by ajax calls.
i know series can be added dynamically by declaring highchart funciton global. and using series.addseries() function , and also data can be updated by using settimout request to ajax call and updating points by using series.addpoint() function.
i have done both the work separably. but when i combine both the technique, data is not added to highchart. i have done lot of research on this, and i am not finding reason for not adding the data. infact script hang the browser.
i have checked the series object, which show x-data and y-data are processed. only difference i find is isDirty field and isDirtydata field are set to true. dont know the reason.
here is the full code
var serverUrl = 'http://'+window.location.hostname+':8000'

i am stuck on this problem for quite a while. and still not able to figure out the solution.
here is the full code link
someone please please help. feeling frustrated ..:-(

As you know the addPoint method is bit dangerous when dealing with quite lots points. It is recommended to disable redraw per point when dealing with many new points - more info http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#Series.addPoint() , I notice you are doing that already in the loop statement, but why did you commented out? have you tried enabling again. Make sure chart.redraw works by adding a new redraw chart event, and set an alert or console log.
Also you may try using, below as part of ajax, instead of cache:false. I had some problems in past.
headers: { 'Cache-Control': 'no-cache' }
Cheers
