Chart Types
A reverse column chart with negative values is a chart type that displays data in vertical bars with the y-axis reversed and negative values displayed below the x-axis. Highcharts supports reverse column charts with negative values by setting the chart.type
option to 'column'
and the yAxis.reversed
and series.threshold
options to display negative values below the x-axis.
To create a reverse column chart with negative values using Highcharts, you can follow these steps:
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script>
<div id="chart-container"></div>
Highcharts.chart('chart-container', { chart: { type: 'column' }, title: { text: 'Reverse Column Chart with Negative Values' }, xAxis: { categories: ['Category 1', 'Category 2', 'Category 3', 'Category 4', 'Category 5'] }, yAxis: { reversed: true, title: { text: 'Y Axis Label' } }, plotOptions: { column: { threshold: 0 } }, series: [{ name: 'Series Name', data: [10, -20, 30, -40, 50] }] });
In this example, we're creating a reverse column chart with negative values with the Highcharts chart
function and passing in a set of options:
chart.type
is set to 'column'
to create a column charttitle.text
is set to 'Reverse Column Chart with Negative Values'
to set the main titlexAxis.categories
is set to an array of category labels for the x-axisyAxis.reversed
is set to true
to reverse the direction of the y-axis (which is displayed vertically in a reverse column chart)yAxis.title
is used to set the label for the y-axisplotOptions.column.threshold
is set to 0
to display negative values below the x-axisseries
is set to an array of objects with a name
and data
property to define the series data. The data
property contains an array of values for each category, which are displayed as vertical bars. Negative values are displayed below the x-axis.With these options, you can create a reverse column chart with negative values and customizable data and appearance. Note that Highcharts supports other options to customize the appearance of column charts, including the color
, stacking
, and pointWidth
options.
Customizing appearance in Highcharts Reverse Column Chart with Negative Values: To customize the appearance of a Reverse Column Chart with Negative Values in Highcharts, you can use various options like colors, border styles, and more. Here's an example code snippet:
Highcharts.chart('container', { chart: { type: 'column' }, plotOptions: { column: { color: 'rgba(150, 200, 100, 0.7)', borderColor: 'white', borderWidth: 2, dataLabels: { enabled: true, color: 'black' } } }, xAxis: { reversed: true // Reverse the order of the x-axis }, series: [{ name: 'Reverse Column Data', data: [10, -20, 30, -40, 50] }] });
Adding data to Highcharts Reverse Column Chart with Negative Values:
Adding data to a Reverse Column Chart with Negative Values is similar to other column charts. Use the data
property within the series
object. Here's an example:
series: [{ name: 'Reverse Column Data', data: [10, -20, 30, -40, 50] }]
Stacked Reverse Column Chart with Negative Values in Highcharts:
To create a stacked Reverse Column Chart with Negative Values, you can set the stacking
property in the plot options. Here's an example:
plotOptions: { column: { stacking: 'normal' } }, series: [{ name: 'Category 1', data: [10, -20, 30, -40, 50] }, { name: 'Category 2', data: [5, -10, 15, -20, 25] }]
Grouped Reverse Column Chart with Negative Values using Highcharts:
To create a grouped Reverse Column Chart with Negative Values, omit the stacking
property. Here's an example:
plotOptions: { column: { // No stacking property for grouped chart } }, series: [{ name: 'Category 1', data: [10, -20, 30, -40, 50] }, { name: 'Category 2', data: [5, -10, 15, -20, 25] }]
Interactive features in Highcharts Reverse Column Chart with Negative Values: Highcharts supports interactive features like tooltips, click events, and legends in Reverse Column Charts with Negative Values. You can enable these features to enhance user interaction. Here's a snippet for tooltip configuration:
