Highstock: Plot name labels - javascript

I am using the Highstock and I've been reading the API documentation to look for the plot labeling however, was unsuccessful.
When I do something like
xAxis: {
labels: {
enabled: true,
name: plot one name,
floor: 0,
}
}
or
series: [{
data: XData,
name: plot one name
}
it does not give me the label at the bottom.
It works in the highchart, but highstock. Is there a documentation / APi to add plot label inside the graph ?
for example, in the following link of the highchart is the plot label of "tokyo" and "london" http://www.highcharts.com/demo/line-labels

The labels you are looking for is called the legend (API).
It is disabled by default in Highstock. You can enable it by adding this code:
legend: {
enabled: true
}

How to hide date time x-axis but still be able to show plot lines in Highcharts gantt chart?

I want to disable or hide marked x-axis on the following image:
But I still need to be able to show a plot line.
I tried to play around with "xAxis" Highcharts property and I am able to hide marked x-axis, but then I can not add a plot line. It seems to me this axis is somehow connected with the plot.
Thanks a lot for help.
The plotLines are connected to an axis, but you can separately disable the grid and the labels:
xAxis: [{
...,
grid: {
enabled: false
},
plotLines: [{
color: 'red',
value: today + day * 7,
width: 5
}],
labels: {
enabled: false
},
tickLength: 0
}, {
visible: false
}]

How to set plot options in Highcharts in case of drill down

I have just started using Highchart in my project and I am very much new to it.
I am stuck with two scenarios for drill down charts:
First I need to show a column chart, and on click of the column I have to show a pie chart with legends. I am looking on below example:jsfiddle
legend: {
enabled: true
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
borderWidth: 0,
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
format: '{point.y:.1f}%'
}
},
showInLegend: true
},
Second I have requirement to show drill down to three levels: Column chart to Column chart to Column Stacked Chart. I have not been able to find out a way to set the plotOptions correctly to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Highcharts: Is it possible to show Sunburst legend similar to Pie chart legend?

Currently, on enabling the legend of sunburst chart in Highcharts, single series label is seen in legend. Refer following JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/amrutaJgtp/7r8eb5ms/6/
Highcharts pie chart legend shows the all the category labels in the legend. Refer following Pie chart legend: http://jsfiddle.net/amrutaJgtp/wgaak302/
series: [{
name: 'Sales',
colorByPoint: true,
showInLegend: true,
data: [{
name: 'Consumer',
y: 2455
}, {
name: 'Corporate',
y: 6802
},{
name: 'Home office',
y: 9031
}, {
name: 'Small Business',
y: 5551
}]
}]
Is it possible to show all the data points of the sunburst series or atleast the categories - Consumer, Corporate, Home Office, Small Business in legend?
In my opinion the answer is no.
Please refer to this demo: http://jsfiddle.net/kkulig/u3p1usz9/
I tried to implement this functionality by setting legendType = 'point' (not docummented in the API, but it works) and overwriting H.Legend.prototype.getAllItems, but it seems that hiding points is not supported for sunburst. There's no method that will do it - check out the console.log output. Switching visibility of the point by using visible property doesn't work either. Legend behaves properly, but there's no effect on the plot area.
Workaround
This simple example shows how to mimic desired legend behavior: http://jsfiddle.net/kkulig/kn10kb7L/
First I added additional two series that have no data:
{
type: 'line',
name: 'p1',
color: 'blue'
}, {
type: 'line',
name: 'p2',
color: 'blue'
}
The color of the legend item markers needs to be handled manually by setting the color of the 'fake' series.
I created visible flag for every leaf for controlling its visibility.
Then I used their legendItemClick callback function to filter the full data set and perform setData on the first series using the filtered data.
legendItemClick: function(e) {
series = this;
data.forEach(function(leaf) {
if (leaf.id === series.name || leaf.parent === series.name) {
leaf.visible = !leaf.visible;
}
});
this.chart.series[0].setData(data.filter((leaf) => leaf.visible));
}
API reference: https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/plotOptions.sunburst.point.events.legendItemClick
If you think that hiding points should be implemented in sunburst series you can share this idea here: https://highcharts.uservoice.com/forums/55896-highcharts-javascript-api
Update
If you want an animation to happen use addPoint and removePoint instead of setData.

Draw horizontal target line using EChart.JS

I would like to draw a horizontal target line showing threshold limits on a line, bar and pie chart using EChart.JS (https://ecomfe.github.io/echarts-doc/public/en/index.html).
There are other threads - "Chart.js - draw horizontal line" which detail how to do it with Chart.JS. Has anyone out there got particular experience on this with EChart?
Thanks in advance.
[Edit] Since Echarts v3 came up and was passed to the Apache Foundation, the documentation has been sclattered through different URLs, some options have gone away, some are not shown in all documentation resources, and so on. Links provided below have been updated (as of 24/02/2020) but might break again. I haven't fully tried v3 but provided code below should still work.[/Edit]
The option markLine is designed for that, see documentation here:
https://echarts.apache.org/en/option.html#series-line.markLine
Note that there are different uses for it, and different options to provide, depending on what you want to draw:
arbitrary line on the canvas (any size, any direction, any style)
lines matching data caracteristics (min, max, average)
horizontal/vertical lines
You have to use the attribute markLine.data in all cases, and description of specifics is described here:
https://echarts.apache.org/en/option.html#series-line.markLine.data
Here's how I go, with a line curve on a time serie. Note that I couldn't get, within markLine.data[0], yAxis to be enough to draw a horizontal line: xAxis must be specified too (start and end points).
xAxis: {
type: 'time',
},
yAxis: {
type: 'value'
},
series: [{
type: 'line',
xAxisIndex: 0,
yAxisIndex: 0,
data: [
[1509762600, 7.11376],
[1509832800, 7.54459],
[1509849000, 7.64559]
],
markLine: {
data: [
// 1st line we want to draw
[
// start point of the line
// we have to defined line attributes only here (not in the end point)
{
xAxis: 1509762600,
yAxis: 3,
symbol: 'none',
lineStyle: {
normal: {
color: "#00F"
}
},
label: {
normal: {
show: true,
position: 'end',
formatter: 'my label'
}
}
},
// end point of the line
{
xAxis: 1509849000,
yAxis: 3,
symbol: 'none'
}
]
]
}
}]
Here's a fiddle I found: https://jsfiddle.net/381510688/hff93ska/
Note that ECharts really like to display markLines with arrow symbols in the end of it, hence my use of symbol: 'none' in above code, to have just the line drawn.

Highcharts bar and scatter series not lining up

I'm trying to create a chart using highcharts that includes both a column series and a scatter series with a custom point marker. The series will contain slightly different sets of data, but will overlap for the most part and will always have the same x-axis values.
I've set it up, but the problem is that it's not lining up perfectly. Some of the scatter series' points are shifted one or two pixels to the left of the corresponding bar.
Any ideas about how to fix this?
{
chart: {
animation: false
},
xAxis: {
tickInterval: 1
},
series: [{
type: "column",
borderWidth: 0,
pointWidth: 20,
name: "col"
},
{
type: "scatter",
states: { hover: { enabled: false } },
marker: { symbol: 'url(symbol.png)' }
}]
}
And here's a screenshot of what's happening:
Indeed it looks like a bug, also with standard markers, so I've decided to report it to our developers https://github.com/highslide-software/highcharts.com/issues/1843
