Highcharts Toggle Stacking for Multi-Axis Chart

I am trying to toggle stacking for a multi-axis chart, but it seems I can only toggle one series at a time.
Does anyone know how to solve this? Here is a link to the jsfiddle:
http://fiddle.jshell.net/kz7wbykx/
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo:'container',
defaultSeriesType:'column',
borderWidth:1,
borderColor:'#ccc',
marginLeft:110,
marginRight:50,
backgroundColor:'#eee',
plotBackgroundColor:'#fff',
},
title:{
text:'Chart Title'
},
legend:{
},
tooltip:{
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
stacking:'normal',
fillColor:'rgba(255,255,255,0)',
},
},
xAxis:{
lineColor:'#999',
lineWidth:1,
tickColor:'#666',
tickLength:3,
title:{
text:'X Axis Title'
}
},
yAxis:{
lineColor:'#999',
lineWidth:1,
tickColor:'#666',
tickWidth:1,
tickLength:3,
gridLineColor:'#ddd',
title:{
text:'Y Axis Title',
rotation:0,
margin:50,
}
},
series: [{
stack: 1,
name:'Series 1 Name',
data: [5,8,7,4,6]
},{
stack: 1,
name:'Series 2 Name',
data: [2,3,6,5,7]
},{
stack: 1,
name:'Series 3 Name',
data: [1,4,6,8,9]
}]
},function(chart){
$('button').click(function(){
chart.series[0].options.stack = +!chart.series[0].options.stack;
chart.series[1].options.stack = +!chart.series[1].options.stack;
//chart.series[2].options.stack = +!chart.series[2].options.stack;
chart.series[0].hide();
chart.series[1].hide();
chart.series[2].hide();
chart.series[0].show();
chart.series[1].show();
chart.series[2].show();
})
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script>
<div id="container" style="height: 400px"></div>
<button>toggle stacking</button>

I think that you can use Series.update() method in case of changing stack of your series. Here you can find information about this method:
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#Series.update
$('button').click(function() {
chart.series[0].update({
stack: chart.series[0].options.stack == '1' ? '0' : '1'
}, false);
chart.series[1].update({
stack: chart.series[1].options.stack == '1' ? '2' : '1'
}, false);
chart.redraw();
})
Here you can see an example how your chart may work using Series.update():

Highcharts Stacked Percentage Column Hyperlink

I have a Stacked % Column Highchart which without Hyperlinks on data sets works perfectly, however I need to link away to another page from the chart, If it was a standard column chart, I would have no issue (I have one already). But i cannot seem to work out why I'm getting an undefined error on the link.
Ive searched around for a working example but havent been able to find one matching the stacked percentage column.
I've setup a fiddle to indicate where im up to, any help appreciated.
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'column'
},
title: {
text: 'Space Overview'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
title: {
text: 'Total Space (%)'
}
},
tooltip: {
pointFormat: '<span style="color:{series.color}">{series.name}</span>: <b>{point.y}</b> ({point.percentage:.0f}%)<br/>',
shared: true
},
plotOptions: {
column: {
stacking: 'percent'
},
series: {
cursor: 'pointer',
point: {
events: {
click: function() {
location.href = this.options.url;
}
}
}
}
},
subtitle: {
text: '+ Items relate to items in the dispay cabinets.',
align: 'left',
x: 10
},
series: [{
name: 'Free',
data: [1498, 1123, 556, 1176],
url: ['Spaces.aspx?box=a', 'Spaces.aspx?box=b', 'Spaces.aspx?box=c', 'Spaces.aspx?box=d']
}, {
name: 'Used',
data: [1234,233,23,759],
url: ['Spaces.aspx?box=a', 'Spaces.aspx?box=b', 'Spaces.aspx?box=c', 'Spaces.aspx?box=d']
}]
});

This is a great question! I did some digging and think I've found a good solution for you.
First, I needed to update how you defined the custom value in your series. To capture certain values in events, I moved the url attribute within each data point. So now, each point has their y value and the new url value.
(Note: I used dummy URLs here since I wouldn't be able to connect to the ones you provided outside your website.)
series: [{
name: 'Free',
data: [
{ y: 1498, url: 'http://www.google.com' },
{ y: 1123, url: 'http://www.yahoo.com' },
{ y: 556, url: 'http://www.bing.com' },
{ y: 1176, url: 'http://www.msn.com' }
]
}, {
// second series here
}
]
Next, I updated your events call. Now that we've moved the url attribute to each point, we can refer to that value as point.url (as you could the y value using point.y).
What I also did here is use window.open vs. window.location. This will be a better experience for your users so they don't lose sight of the chart. Keep this if you wish.
plotOptions: {
column: {
stacking: 'percent'
},
series: {
cursor: 'pointer',
point: {
events: {
click: function (event) {
window.open(event.point.url);
}
}
}
}
}
Here's your updated fiddle with these changes: http://jsfiddle.net/brightmatrix/qv8z5a2o/5/
I hope this helps!

Highcharts JSON, chart not displaying

I have some data I wish to display on a chart but it just shows the title and no points get drawn. The JSON data I receive is correct as per my knowledge, I think it's somewhere in the chart function but I can't really point it out.
This is what I have so far:
data.php (the output):
{"name":"Temperature","data":[34,28,29,28,34,28,32,27,24,30,25,32,34,28,34,33,24,33,30,27,24,27,26,29]}
The important bits of the html:
<script>
$(function () {
var chart;
$(document).ready(function() {
$.getJSON("data.php", function(json) {
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'line',
marginRight: 130,
marginBottom: 25
},
title: {
text: 'Temperature vs. Time',
x: -20 //center
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['12AM', '1AM', '2AM', '3AM', '4AM', '5AM', '6AM', '7AM', '8AM', '9AM', '10AM', '11AM','12PM', '1PM', '2PM', '3PM', '4PM', '5PM', '6PM', '7PM', '8PM', '9PM', '10PM', '11PM']
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Temperature'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
},
series: json
});
});
});
});
</script>
It's supposed to show temperature per hour but unfortunately nothing comes up. Any idea what could be wrong?

series should be an array. So you need to just change:
series: json
To:
series: [json]
Working example: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/Kfgsd
Documentation: http://www.highcharts.com/docs/chart-concepts/series

your problem i think that you haven't specified where your chart should be inserted to, afaik you either should specify the renderTo option for the class constructor options or use the $('#container').haighcharts({...}) jquery helper

Highcharts - Bar - Setting the X axis width and the chart area width to be constant

Can anyone recommend a method of setting the X axis to be a constant width across multiple instances of a bar chart?
See this jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/LCYwW/1/
The first chart is an example of placing the data for 2 locations in a single chart. In this case, Highcharts automatically adjusts the X axis width to accommodate both location labels.
However, I need to separate these 2 locations into separate charts, but maintain the same proportions of X Axis to bar area width for both charts. See charts 2 and 3 in the example. In this case, Highcharts picks an X axis width that suits just the single location and the 2 charts do not line up when stacked.
Is there a method to get the individual charts to maintain the same proportions as each other? I tried setting the xAxis.labels.style.width attribute, and it does something, but doesn't seem to be a concrete width. See http://jsfiddle.net/LCYwW/3/
This example is easiest to see in the jsFiddle, but SO is requiring me to post the code:
$('#containerAll').highcharts({
chart:{
type: 'bar'
},
series: [
{
name: 'Male',
data: [{"name":"58.1%","y":0.581}, {"name":"18.1%","y":0.181}]
},
{
name: 'Female',
data: [{"name":"58.5%","y":0.585}, {"name":"28.5%","y":0.285}]
}
],
xAxis: {
categories: ['Short Name', 'Much Longer Location Name']
}
});
$('#container1').highcharts({
chart:{
type: 'bar'
},
series: [
{
name: 'Male',
data: [{"name":"58.1%","y":0.581}]
},
{
name: 'Female',
data: [{"name":"58.5%","y":0.585}]
}
],
xAxis: {
categories: ['Short Name'],
labels: {
style: {
width: 200
}
}
}
});
$('#container2').highcharts({
chart:{
type: 'bar'
},
series: [
{
name: 'Male',
data: [{"name":"18.1%","y":0.181}]
},
{
name: 'Female',
data: [{"name":"28.5%","y":0.285}]
}
],
xAxis: {
categories: ['Much Longer Location Name'],
labels: {
style: {
width: 200
}
}
}
});

You have a lot more control over the labels if you turn on useHTML.
xAxis: {
categories: ['Short Name'],
labels: {
style: {
width: '100px',
'min-width': '100px'
},
useHTML : true
}
}
http://jsfiddle.net/LCYwW/5/
You'll also probably have to set a min and max for the yAxis to keep the data in proportion.
Fiddle with the yAxis max set: http://jsfiddle.net/LCYwW/6/

Also consider, using the chart: marginLeft property to set a fixed width for the labels:
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'bar',
marginLeft: 160
},
// ...
})
});
This preserves the other behavior of the chart, e.g., alignment of the labels. Also see this question.

Adding the marginLeft property inside of chart worked like a charm for me.
chart: {
type: 'bar',
marginLeft: 200
}, ...

Adjusting the appearance of a javascript- Shield UI Chart

I have a problem with Shield UI Chart. I need to hide all text on my X axis, that is dateTime. But i can't visualize the chart when I add the code that hides the axis.
Below is the code that I am using. Will appreciate any assistance fixing it.
<script type="text/javascript"> $(function () { $("#chart").shieldChart({
axisX: {
axisTickText: {
enabled: false
}
axisType: 'datetime'
},
axisY: {
title: {
text: "Total Sales statistics"
}
},
primaryHeader: {
text: "Aaron's cars sales"
}, dataSeries: [{ seriesType: 'bar',
collectionAlias: 'New Cars Sales Volumes',
data: [325000, 425000, 316000, 378000, 390000]
}, {
seriesType: 'bar',
collectionAlias: 'Used Cars Sales Volumes',
data: [125000, 175000, 158000, 130000,101000,98000]
}]
});
});
</script>

You have forgotton to put a comma between the different properties. You have axisTickText:{} and there must be a comma, because there is one more property following- axisType.
axisX: {
axisTickText: {
enabled: false
},
axisType: 'datetime'
},
