HighCharts : Is it possible to customize the colors of individual series?

JavascriptGraphHighcharts

Javascript Problem Overview


I am using HighCharts for a line graph report. In this specific report I have been asked to Customize the colours of each series. The series will always stay the same. So for example:

John series: Blue dashed line Mary series: Solid Red Line

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Solution 1 - Javascript

Options can be set separately for each series.

var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
    chart: {
        renderTo: 'container'
    },
    xAxis: {
        type: 'datetime'
    },
    
    series: [{
        name: 'John',
        color: '#0066FF',
        dashStyle: 'ShortDash',
        data: [
            [Date.UTC(2010, 0, 1), 29.9],
            [Date.UTC(2010, 2, 1), 71.5],
            [Date.UTC(2010, 3, 1), 106.4]
        ]
    },{
        name: 'Mary',
        color: '#FF0000',
        data: [
            [Date.UTC(2010, 0, 1), 60.9],
            [Date.UTC(2010, 1, 1), 40.5],
            [Date.UTC(2010, 2, 1), 90.0],
            [Date.UTC(2010, 3, 1), 80.4]
        ]
    }]
});

Solution 2 - Javascript

If you read the api here, you'll see the following text.

Serie

>The actual series to append to the chart. In addition to the members listed below, any member of the plotOptions for that specific type of plot can be added to a series individually. For example, even though a general lineWidth is specified in plotOptions.series, an individual lineWidth can be specified for each series.

So you can add anything from plotOptions.

Demo:

series: [{
    name: 'serie1',
    data: [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9],
    color: '#FFFF00',
    lineWidth: 4,
    id: 'serie1',
    step: true
}]
