Highcharts configuration syntax
In this chapter we will introduce you to some configurations of using Highcharts to generate charts.
Step one: Create an HTML page
Create an HTML page and introduce jQuery and Highcharts libraries:
File name: HighchartsTest.htm
<html>
<head>
<title>Highcharts 教程 | php中文网</title>
<script src="http://apps.bdimg.com/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/try/demo_source/highcharts.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container" style="width: 550px; height: 400px; margin: 0 auto"></div>
<script language="JavaScript">
$(document).ready(function() {
});
</script>
</body>
</html>Example The div with the id container is used to contain charts drawn by Highcharts.
Step 2: Create the configuration file
The Highcharts library uses json format for configuration.
$('#container').highcharts(json);Here json means using json data format and json format configuration to draw charts. The steps are as follows:
Title
Configure the title for the chart:
var title = {
text: '月平均气温'
};Subtitle
Configure the subtitle for the chart:
var subtitle = {
text: 'Source: php.cn'
};X axis
Configure the items to be displayed on the X-axis.
var xAxis = {
categories: ['一月', '二月', '三月', '四月', '五月', '六月'
,'七月', '八月', '九月', '十月', '十一月', '十二月']
};Y axis
Configure the items to be displayed on the Y axis.
var yAxis = {
title: {
text: 'Temperature (\xB0C)'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
};Prompt information
Configuration prompt information:
var tooltip = {
valueSuffix: '\xB0C'
}Display method
Configure the chart to align to the right:
var legend = {
layout: 'vertical',
align: 'right',
verticalAlign: 'middle',
borderWidth: 0
};Data
Configure the data to be displayed in the chart. Each series is an array, and each item generates a curve in the picture.
var series = [
{
name: 'Tokyo',
data: [7.0, 6.9, 9.5, 14.5, 18.2, 21.5, 25.2,
26.5, 23.3, 18.3, 13.9, 9.6]
},
{
name: 'New York',
data: [-0.2, 0.8, 5.7, 11.3, 17.0, 22.0, 24.8,
24.1, 20.1, 14.1, 8.6, 2.5]
},
{
name: 'Berlin',
data: [-0.9, 0.6, 3.5, 8.4, 13.5, 17.0, 18.6,
17.9, 14.3, 9.0, 3.9, 1.0]
},
{
name: 'London',
data: [3.9, 4.2, 5.7, 8.5, 11.9, 15.2, 17.0,
16.6, 14.2, 10.3, 6.6, 4.8]
}
];Step 3: Create json data
The combination is composed of configuration information:
var json = {};
json.title = title;
json.subtitle = subtitle;
json.xAxis = xAxis;
json.yAxis = yAxis;
json.tooltip = tooltip;
json.legend = legend;
json.series = series;
Step 4: Draw the chart
$('#container').highcharts(json);Example
