Highcharts configuration options in detail

Here's an example of Highcharts configuration options for a simple line chart:

Highcharts.chart('container', {
  chart: {
    type: 'line'
  },
  title: {
    text: 'Line Chart Example'
  },
  xAxis: {
    categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May']
  },
  yAxis: {
    title: {
      text: 'Value'
    }
  },
  series: [{
    name: 'Data',
    data: [5, 7, 3, 8, 4]
  }],
  plotOptions: {
    series: {
      animation: {
        duration: 1000,
        easing: 'easeOutBounce'
      }
    }
  },
  tooltip: {
    formatter: function() {
      return this.x + ': ' + this.y;
    }
  }
});

In this example, we're creating a line chart with the Highcharts chart function and passing in a set of options:

chart.type is set to 'line' to create a line chart
title.text is set to 'Line Chart Example' to set the main title
xAxis.categories is set to an array of month names to set the x-axis labels
yAxis.title.text is set to 'Value' to set the y-axis label
series is set to an array with one object containing name and data properties to set the chart data
plotOptions.series.animation is set to configure the animation effect when the chart is initially rendered or updated
tooltip.formatter is set to a function that formats the tooltip content with the x and y values

This is just a simple example, but Highcharts provides a wide range of configuration options to customize your charts. You can find more examples and details about all available options in the Highcharts documentation.
