Highcharts dynamic chart
In this chapter we will introduce you to the dynamic charts of Highcharts.
We have already learned about Highcharts configuration syntax in the previous chapters. Next let's look at other configurations of Highcharts.
Update the curve chart every second
chart.events
Add the load method (chart loading event) to the chart.event property. Randomly generate data points and generate graphs within 1000 milliseconds.
chart: {
events: {
load: function () {
// 图表每秒更新一次
var series = this.series[0];
setInterval(function () {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // 当期时间
y = Math.random();
series.addPoint([x, y], true, true);
}, 1000);
}
}
}Example

Highcharts Pie ChartAdd data by clicking
chart.events
Add the click method (the click event that occurs on the drawing area of the entire chart) in the chart.event property. This method adds new data points when a click occurs on the chart plot area.
chart: {
events: {
click: function (e) {
// 获取点击坐标和数据项
var x = e.xAxis[0].value,
y = e.yAxis[0].value,
series = this.series[0];
// 添加点击的坐标
series.addPoint([x, y]);
}
}
