Highcharts disable click on column

I have a column chart. When clicking one of the vertical bars, the color of the selected bar changes. I want to disable this behaviour by disabling the detection of the 'click' event on the graph so when the user clicks there nothing happens.
Anyone knows how to do that?
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'column',
backgroundColor: 'transparent',
container: {
onclick : null
}
},
colors: ['#27A1DE'],

},
exporting : {

},

},
xAxis: {
title: {
text: 'h',
align: 'high',
offset: -15
},
tickColor : 'transparent',
labels: {
style: {
fontWeight:'bold'
},
y: 12,
formatter: function() {
var index = this.axis.categories.indexOf(this.value);
var yValue = this.chart.series[0].yData[index];
if (yValue === 0){
return '<span>'+this.value+'</span>';
} else {
return '<span style="color:#009DE0;">'+this.value +'</span>';
}
}
},
categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']

return '<span>'+this.y +'</span>';
} else {

}
}
},

//this.update({ color: '#27a1de' }, true, false);
e.preventDefault();
return false;

Fiddle : here
Thanks

the way I understood your problem, you want to remove the style change on mouse hover (as there is no color change on click in your fiddle unlike you described).
http://jsfiddle.net/6pur4o1w/
states: { hover: 'none' }
in the series should do what you want.

How to Change Highchart Column Color Dynamicly

I want to set color of highchart column according to average or limit value. For example, limit value is %20, columns value that over %20 will have red color, or under 20% will have green color.
Chart displays:
Scripts:
function GetEnduktiveKapasitiveValues(type) {
$.ajax({
url: app_base_url + "Reactive/_ReaktiveDaily",
type: 'POST',
data: { branchId: 9, dateMonth: 3, type: type },
success: function (result) {
var list = [];
$.each(result.DateList, function (i, val) {
var value = new Date(parseInt(val.substr(6)));
var month = value.getMonth() + 1;
var ret = value.getDate() + "." + month + "." + value.getFullYear();
list[i] = ret;
});
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'column'
},
title: {
text: 'Günlük Endüktif - Kapasitif Ceza Limiti Değerleri'
},
subtitle: {
text: ''
},
xAxis: {
categories: list
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
title: {
text: 'Oran (%)'
}
},
tooltip: {
headerFormat: '<span style="font-size:10px">{point.key}</span><table>',
pointFormat: '<tr><td style="color:{series.color};padding:0">{series.name}: </td>' +
'<td style="padding:0"><b>{point.y:.1f} mm</b></td></tr>',
footerFormat: '</table>',
shared: true,
useHTML: true
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
plotOptions: {
column: {
pointPadding: 0.2,
borderWidth: 0,
borderRadius: 20
},
color : ['#333', '#CB2326', '#DDDF00', '#24CBE5', '#64E572', '#FF9655', '#CB2326', '#6AF9C4']
},
series: [{
name: result.Name,
data: result.RateList,
type: 'column'
}, {
name: 'Ceza Limiti',
type: 'line',
data: result.Average,
marker: {
lineWidth: 2,
lineColor: Highcharts.getOptions().colors[3],
fillColor: 'white'
}
}]
});
},
error: function (result) { }
});
}
I want to get like this result:

Make a temp series object.
Then loop through you data and assign data.color based on your value and push it to series data object.
After the loop finishes push the temp series object to the hightchart options series.
JSFIDDLE
Example is a simple demo. You will need to adapt it to your need.

You can do this by specifying the colour in your data. e.g. from the highcharts examples:
data: [29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2, 144.0, 176.0, 135.6, 148.5, {
y: 216.4,
color: '#BF0B23'
}, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4]

Howto move dataLabels to the border of the plot area?

I have a bar chart. I want the dataLabels to not stick onto the bars, but move it to the most right border of the plot area and have it text-aligned right.
This is what I have come to so far: (jsfiddle)
$(function () {
var cat = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug']; //, 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec', 'foo', 'bar', 'bla'];
var barWidth = 16;
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
type: "bar",
renderTo: 'container',
events: {
load: function() {
var plotHeight = this.plotHeight;
console.log('plotHeight = ' + plotHeight);
var catWidth = (barWidth-2) / (2*plotHeight/cat.length);
var plot = [];
for(var i=0; i<(cat.length); i+=1) {
var newPlot = {
color: 'grey',
width: 1,
value: i+catWidth //+(cat.length/($('#container').height()/10))
};
plot.push(newPlot);
this.xAxis[0].addPlotLine(newPlot);
}
//this.xAxis[0].addPlotLine(plot);
}
}
},
title: {
text: null
},
credits: {
text: null,
enabled: false
},
xAxis: {
categories: cat,
title: {
text: null,
enabled: false
}
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: null,
enabled: false
},
labels: {
enabled: false
},
gridLineWidth: 0,
gridLineColor: 'none'
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
color: '#000',
formatter: function() {
return Math.abs(this.y).toFixed(1) + '%';
},
crop: false, // DIRTY!!! :(
overflow: 'justify', // DIRTY!!! :(
x: -360 // DIRTY!!! :(
}
}
},
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, 9.9, 9.9, 9.9],
pointWidth: barWidth
}]
});
});
I have to stick at mostly native Highcharts as I need to export the chart as svg to reuse in a pdf file. So using CSS and useHtml: true are out of question as well as dirty hacks like crop: false, overflow: 'justify', dataLabels.x: -360 (just to show you what I want to do - although it is not right aligned).
How am I able to accomplish that?

You can use workaround with the translating datalables like here:
var width = chart.plotWidth;
$.each(chart.series[0].data, function(i,d){
var bbox = d.dataLabel.getBBox().width;
d.dataLabel.attr({
x: width - bbox
});
});

Disabling HighCharts labels

I'm using Highcharts and I want to turn off all the labels. I made my own graph that has its own title and data axes. How do I make the ones provided by Highcharts invisible?
At the moment, I just need to get rid of the y axis marks but I'm not certain how.
Here's what I have so far:
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'area',
backgroundColor: 'transparent'
},
title: {
text: ' '
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
xAxis: {
categories: [' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ']
},
series: [{
name: 'Rich',
color: '#FF0000',
data: []
}, {
name: 'Poor',
data: []
}]
});
}

Highcharts has fabulous documentation with fiddle examples for most stuff: http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts
http://jsfiddle.net/fnHzg/
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
},
title : {
text: null
},
xAxis: {
title: {
enabled: false
}
},
yAxis: {
title: {
enabled: false
}
},
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]
}]
});
To also turn off the yAxis and xAxis labels and tick marks:
xAxis: {
title: {
enabled: false
},
labels: {
enabled: false
},
tickLength: 0
},
yAxis: {
title: {
enabled: false
},
labels: {
enabled: false
},
tickLength: 0
},

dynamically creating the values for high charts

I want to create dynamic data for high charts,
i need to generate dynamic values in the x-axis
xAxis: {
categories:['project1','project2']
},
This is my for loop,
var project = [];
for(var i=0;i<project.name;i++){
//new array
}
How do i create dynamic values in the x-axis.

You can pass an array variabile as parameter to the categories option of the chart.
Example:
// Original array
var categories1=['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
// Copy and/or modifify the second array content and do some stuff
var categories2=[];
for(var i=0;i<categories1.length;i++){
categories2.push(categories1[i]);
}
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container'
},
xAxis: {
categories: categories2 // reference categories to an array variabile
},
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]
}]
});
Working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/IrvinDominin/6c8Af/

Another approach:
var Series2 = [1,1,1,2,2,2];
var names=['O','A'];
var data1=Series2,seriesArray; //seriesArray is formed dynamically - array of int values
options.series = [{name: names, data: data1}]
This works properly

I'm using a JSON data and after a long time able to resolve it. My requirement was to get JSON data and then I create a Map Object based on my data requirement. And dynamically create series for chart. I was able to create Series but nothing was coming in chart.
This was because the numeric digits has to be converted to Int . When I used parseInt, it worked for me.
Step 1: I get the JSON data and after manipulation it looks like this: seriesData = {"O":series1}, {"A":Series2}, {"S":Series3}]
var options = {
chart: {
renderTo: 'demoGraph',
type: 'column'
},
title: {
text: 'Stacked column chart'
},
xAxis: {
categories: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6],
title: {
text: 'Severity'
},
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
title: {
text: 'Total Defects with Severity - 1,2,3,4,5,6'
},
stackLabels: {
enabled: true,

y: 20,
floating: true,
backgroundColor: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.background2) || 'white',

borderWidth: 1,

},
tooltip: {
formatter: function () {
return '<b>' + this.x + '</b><br/>' +
this.series.name + ': ' + this.y + '<br/>' +
'Total: ' + this.point.stackTotal;
}
},
plotOptions: {
column: {
stacking: 'normal',
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.dataLabelsColor) || 'white',
style: {
textShadow: '0 0 3px black, 0 0 3px black'
}
}
}
},
series: [{},{},{},{},{},{}],
};
for(var i in seriesData ){
for(var j in seriesData [i]){
options.series[i].name = j;
options.series[i].data = seriesData [i][j];
break;
}
}
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
