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