How to show No Data Available Message in highcharts

Can we show a message using highcharts.When the data is not available? we have to show a message Example : No Data Available. If we have data hide : No Data Available message . in highcharts dynamically
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'bubble',
plotBorderWidth: 0,
zoomType: 'xy'
},
});

Include no-data-to-display.js file in your page. It comes bundled with highcharts. You can get it here otherwise: https://code.highcharts.com/modules/no-data-to-display.js
Default message is "No data to display". If you would like to modify it, you can do this:
Highcharts.setOptions({
lang: {
noData: 'Personalized no data message'
}
});

You can use Highcharts Chart Renderer
Here's an example in JSFiddle
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
},
series: []
}, function(chart) { // on complete
chart.renderer.text('No Data Available', 140, 120)
.css({
color: '#4572A7',
fontSize: '16px'
})
.add();
});

Some of these other answers seem kind of crazy... here's a super basic solution I wanted to share:
Highcharts.setOptions({lang: {noData: "Your custom message"}})
var chart = Highcharts.chart('container', {
series: [{
data: []
}]
});
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/no-data-to-display.js"></script>
<div id="container" style="height: 250px"></div>
Hope this helps someone

Based on your comment (if we have data still showing no data available message so,can we hide in highcharts if we have data).I think you are using fustaki's solution and don't want to use no-data-to-display.js module. Yes there is problem as mentioned .You can still use the same code by modifying it i.e add condition inside continuing function to check if series is empty or not, based on this render message.
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
},
series: []
}, function(chart) { // on complete
if (chart.series.length < 1) { // check series is empty
chart.renderer.text('No Data Available', 140, 120)
.css({
color: '#4572A7',
fontSize: '16px'
})
.add();
}
});
Fiddle demo

For me with latest version it works like this:
const Highcharts = require('highcharts');
import NoDataToDisplay from 'highcharts/modules/no-data-to-display';
NoDataToDisplay(Highcharts);
Highcharts.setOptions({
lang: {
noData: 'No data is available in the chart'
}
});

With the current version (v7.1.2) and connected no-data-to-display module (v7.1.2) you can show your 'no data' message when you create a chart object as Patrik said by setting lang.noData option.
To be able to change this message after the chart is created you need to call method
yourChartObject.showNoData('you new message')

<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/no-data-to-display.js"></script>
Highcharts.chart('container', {
lang: {
noData: "No data found"
},
noData: {
style: {
fontWeight: 'bold',
fontSize: '15px'
}
},
.
.
});

and then after series you should add:
lang: {
noData: 'Nessun dato presente'
},
noData: {
style: {
fontWeight: 'bold',
fontSize: '15px',
color: '#303030'
}
},
and it will work just fine

force Highcharts redraw animation when changing graph type

I have a bunch of graphs that by default, come out as line graphs. I've added buttons to the side of my graph to allow the user to change it to a pie, bar, areaspline, or back to line.
When the user clicks the button, it runs this function:
function change_graph_type(moduleNumber, type) {
graph_type = type;
var chart = $('#graph' + moduleNumber).highcharts();
for ( i=0;i<chart.series.length;i++ ) {
chart.series[i].update({
type : graph_type
});
//chart.redraw(); //I've tried adding this here to no avail...
}
}
The code changes each series from e.g. - line to bar, or bar to areaspline, but I cannot figure out how to get the "animation" when the user toggles over to that new graph type, so it only runs the very first time the user generates the chart.

i tried many ways but there is no such function which fires animation after redraw
so created this below quick and dirty method which might help

$(function() {
var chartOptions = {
xAxis: {

Create graph in tooltip of highchart [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
Create chart in tooltip formatter
(1 answer)
Closed 8 years ago.
Have some data to display as column in highchart. The data is about registrations per month in columns.
Following is the link for jsfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/CkkbF/161/
In each tooltip of graph want to show another column chart.
$(function () {
// Registrations Data
var data ={10:{"Morning":2,"Afternoon":3,"Night":5},//Jan
12:{"Morning":2,"Afternoon":5,"Night":5},//Feb
15:{"Morning":5,"Afternoon":3,"Night":7},//Mar
17:{"Morning":8,"Afternoon":3,"Night":6},//Apr
18:{"Morning":2,"Afternoon":3,"Night":13}, //May
22:{"Morning":12,"Afternoon":3,"Night":7},//June
15:{"Morning":2,"Afternoon":8,"Night":5},//July
27:{"Morning":12,"Afternoon":11,"Night":4},//Aug
17:{"Morning":2,"Afternoon":5,"Night":10},//Sep
10:{"Morning":2,"Afternoon":3,"Night":5},//Oct
14:{"Morning":2,"Afternoon":4,"Night":8},Nov
24:{"Morning":12,"Afternoon":7,"Night":5},DEc
}
var series_data=[]
for (key in data) {series_data.push(parseInt(key))}
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'column'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
},
series: [{
data: series_data
}]
});
});
E.g. In above jsfiddle example
So on hover of Column associated with January data , it should show another column highchart in tooltip {"Morning":2,"Afternoon":3,"Night":5}.
i.e. In morning 2, Afternoon 3 and Night 5 registrations.
Any help how to achieve this.

To make a tooltip of a point contain another chart you need to do 3 things (I am sure there are other ways but this is the basic method). I do not remember where I pulled this from as it is not my code but it works:
1 First set up data to use for each point.
var data0 = [12, 12];
var data1 = [6, 12];
var toolTipData = [];
toolTipData.push(data0);
toolTipData.push(data1);
2 Then build a method to pull the appropriate data points out.
tooltip: {
useHTML: true,
formatter: function() {
var i = this.key;
setTimeout( function() {
$("#hc-tooltip").highcharts({
series: [{
data: toolTipData[i]
}]
});
}, 10)
}
},
3 Now you need to put the chart you just made into a container.
tooltip: {
useHTML: true,
formatter: function() {
var i = this.key;
setTimeout( function() {
$("#hc-tooltip").highcharts({
series: [{
data: toolTipData[i]
}]
});
}, 10)
return '<div id="hc-tooltip"></div>';
}
},
The setTimeout is used to smooth out the creation of the tooltip/chart. So, what we are doing here is creating an array (toolTipData) and populating it with the data (data0 and data1) that will be used for each point's tooltip chart. We access the toolTipData via the index of the point we are showing the tooltip for.

I'm not sure about having a chart inside the tooltip, but you can use HTML such as the following example from the API docs:
http://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/jquery/1.7.2/highslide-software/highcharts.com/tree/master/samples/highcharts/tooltip/footerformat/
tooltip: {
shared: true,
useHTML: true,
headerFormat: '<small>{point.key}</small><table>',
pointFormat: '<tr><td style="color: {series.color}">{series.name}: </td>' +
'<td style="text-align: right"><b>{point.y} EUR</b></td></tr>',
footerFormat: '</table>',
valueDecimals: 2
}
No 100% sure how you would pass the data into it though...

Making y axis of highcharts in time format hh:mm

I need to put in y-axis time format hh:mm, for example y-axis should have 16:00,32:00 and etc. ticks or smth simmilar.
I've been working with highcharts - I'm new with JS and web-programming.
I have my data in miliseconds and convert it to hh:mm format, but when I have miliseconds more than 86400000 (24 hours) it shows me next date and I need it to be still displayed in hours:minutes format. Is there any way to do it? I've tried to change y-axis from type: 'datetime' to type: 'time', but it didn't help me alot.
Here is jsfiddle example of my charts and bellow you can find just js-code.
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'column'
},
xAxis: {
categories: [
'Jan',
'Feb',
'Mar',
'Apr',
'May',
'Jun',
'Jul',
'Aug',
'Sep',
'Oct',
'Nov',
'Dec'
]
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Time (hh:mm)'
},
type: 'datetime',
dateTimeLabelFormats: {
hour: '%H:%M'
}
},
plotOptions: {
column: {
pointPadding: 0.2,
borderWidth: 0
}
},
series: [{
name: 'Tokyo',
data: [0, 0, 0, 0, 76320000, 25920000, 102840000, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
}]
});
});

So here is the answer that I've got if anyone need it (here is the link to jsfiddle).
I set the time variables in ms:
data: [0, 0, 0, 0, 76320000, 25920000, 102840000, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
And then I format this value as I need:
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Time (hh:mm)'
},
labels: {
formatter: function () {
var time = this.value;
var hours1=parseInt(time/3600000);
var mins1=parseInt((parseInt(time%3600000))/60000);
return hours1 + ':' + mins1;
}
}
}
That's the only way I found to make y axis in pure hh:mm format. Also you can make the data not in ms, but in w/e you want or need.

then better use your own formatting method, here you will have more control on formatting. you can use formatter as shown below.
yAxis: {
labels: {
formatter: function () {
//get the timestamp
var time = this.value;
//now manipulate the timestamp as you wan using data functions
}
}
}
hope this will help you in achieving what you needed.

Highchart - change color of one x-axis label only

So I know how to change the color of x-axis labels in Highchart, which is described here.
http://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/jquery/1.7.1/highslide-software/highcharts.com/tree/master/samples/highcharts/xaxis/labels-style/
But what if I want to change the color of just ONE label, not all the labels? How do I apply style to individual labels?

You can also use the label-formatter to set the style. Full example on jsfiddle:
labels: {
formatter: function () {
if ('Jun' === this.value) {
return '<span style="fill: red;">' + this.value + '</span>';
} else {
return this.value;
}
}
}

I understood that you want to change the color for a specific item inside the x-axis.
I looked at the API but i didn't found an easy way to do it.
Since you can set a callback for the "chart ready event":
Chart (Object options, Function callback) :
Parameters
options: Object The chart options, as documented under the heading
"The options object" in the left menu.
callback: Function
A function to execute when the chart object is finished loading and rendering. In
most cases the chart is built in one thread, but in Internet Explorer
version 8 or less the chart is sometimes initiated before the document
is ready, and in these cases the chart object will not be finished
directly after calling new Highcharts.Chart(). As a consequence, code
that relies on the newly built Chart object should always run in the
callback. Defining a chart.event.load handler is equivalent.
Returns: A reference to the created Chart object.
You can do it in a dirty way:
$(function () {
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
marginBottom: 80
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'],
labels: {
style: {
color: 'red'
}
}
},
series: [{
data: [29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2, 144.0, 176.0, 135.6, 148.5, 216.4, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4]
}]
},
function(c){
// this relies in that te xAxis is before the yAxis
// also, setting the color with color: #ABCDEA didn't work
// you have to use fill.
$(".highcharts-axis:first text").each(function(i, label){
var $label = $(label);
if($label.children().text() === "Jun") {
$label.css({fill: "blue"});
}
});
// You also can to something like:
$(".highcharts-axis:first text:eq(6)").css({fill: "green"});
})
});​
Hope this helps you

Note that when you use the highcharts exporting server at exporting.highcharts.com to render images for your graphs, javascript formatters will not be executed.
Fortunately highcharts translates some html tags and style attributes of individual label and title strings into equivalent SVG styling, but it is quite finicky about how it parses the html. It will strip tags that are using single quoted attributes, you need to use double quotes. Also, nesting a <br/> tag inside another tag will not work.
So if you want two lines of text colored red for example, you get:
<span style="color: #ff0000">First line</span> <br/>
<span style="color: #ff0000">Second line</span>

I am using dataLabels in a doughnut pie chart. I wanted to change the label text colors for individual pie slices, based on conditional logic, comparing values.
Just sharing because my search brought me here.
data: outerData,
dataLabels: {
formatter:
function () {
if ((outerData[this.point.x].y > innerData[this.point.x].y) && (this.point.x != 0)) {
return this.y > 0.1 ? '<span style="fill: red;">' + this.point.name + ': ' + this.y + '% ' + '</span>' : null;
} else {
return this.y > 0.1 ? '<span style="fill: #006400;">' + this.point.name + ': ' + this.y + '% ' + '</span>' : null;
}
}
}

xAxis: {
categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'],
labels: {
formatter: function () {
if ('Jan' === this.value) {
return '<span style="fill: blue;">' + this.value + '</span>';
} else {
return this.value;
}
}
}
},
