Highcharts fixed layout column chart

To create a fixed layout column chart using Highcharts, you can follow these steps:

  • Include the Highcharts library in your HTML file. You can either download it from the Highcharts website or include it from a CDN like this:
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script>
  • Create a container element for the chart in your HTML file, like this:
<div id="chart-container"></div>
  • In your JavaScript code, create a Highcharts chart object and configure it with the data and chart options. For example:
Highcharts.chart('chart-container', {
  chart: {
    type: 'column',
    spacing: [10, 10, 15, 10],
    height: 300
  },
  title: {
    text: 'Fixed Layout Column Chart'
  },
  xAxis: {
    categories: ['Apples', 'Oranges', 'Pears', 'Grapes', 'Bananas'],
    tickLength: 0
  },
  yAxis: {
    title: {
      text: 'Fruit eaten'
    },
    gridLineWidth: 0,
    labels: {
      enabled: false
    }
  },
  series: [{
    name: 'Jane',
    data: [3, 2, 1, 4, 5],
    color: '#FFA500'
  }, {
    name: 'John',
    data: [2, 3, 5, 7, 6],
    color: '#0066FF'
  }]
});

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

  • chart.type is set to 'column' to create a column chart
  • chart.spacing is set to an array of four values to adjust the spacing between the chart elements
  • chart.height is set to 300 to set the chart height
  • title.text is set to 'Fixed Layout Column Chart' to set the main title
  • xAxis.categories is set to an array of category names to set the x-axis categories
  • xAxis.tickLength is set to 0 to hide the x-axis ticks
  • yAxis.title.text is set to 'Fruit eaten' to set the y-axis title
  • yAxis.gridLineWidth is set to 0 to hide the y-axis grid lines
  • yAxis.labels.enabled is set to false to hide the y-axis labels
  • series is set to an array of objects with a name, data, and color property to define the series data and colors

With these options, you can create a fixed layout column chart that has a fixed height and spacing between the chart elements, with hidden x-axis ticks and y-axis grid lines and labels.
