Highcharts Stacked 3D Column Chart

A stacked 3D column chart is a chart type that displays data in a three-dimensional format with each column divided into stacked segments representing different categories or data series. Highcharts supports stacked 3D column charts with the chart.type option set to 'column' and the chart.options3d.enabled and plotOptions.column.stacking options enabled.

To create a stacked 3D 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',
    options3d: {
      enabled: true,
      alpha: 15,
      beta: 15,
      depth: 50
    }
  },
  title: {
    text: 'Stacked 3D Column Chart'
  },
  xAxis: {
    categories: ['Category 1', 'Category 2', 'Category 3', 'Category 4', 'Category 5']
  },
  yAxis: {
    title: {
      text: 'Y Axis Label'
    }
  },
  plotOptions: {
    column: {
      stacking: 'normal',
      depth: 25
    }
  },
  series: [{
    name: 'Series 1',
    data: [10, 20, 30, 40, 50],
    stack: 'Stack 1'
  }, {
    name: 'Series 2',
    data: [20, 30, 40, 50, 60],
    stack: 'Stack 1'
  }, {
    name: 'Series 3',
    data: [30, 40, 50, 60, 70],
    stack: 'Stack 2'
  }, {
    name: 'Series 4',
    data: [40, 50, 60, 70, 80],
    stack: 'Stack 2'
  }]
});

In this example, we're creating a stacked 3D 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.options3d.enabled is set to true to enable the 3D effect
chart.options3d.alpha, chart.options3d.beta, and chart.options3d.depth are used to control the angle and depth of the 3D effect
title.text is set to 'Stacked 3D Column Chart' to set the main title
xAxis.categories is set to an array of category labels for the x-axis
yAxis.title is used to set the label for the y-axis
plotOptions.column.stacking is set to 'normal' to enable stacking of columns
plotOptions.column.depth is used to control the depth of each stacked segment
series is set to an array of objects with a name, data, and stack property to define the series data. The data property contains an array of values for each category, which are displayed as stacked columns.

Customizing appearance in Highcharts Stacked 3D Column Chart: To customize the appearance of a Stacked 3D Column Chart 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',
        options3d: {
            enabled: true,
            alpha: 15,
            beta: 15,
            viewDistance: 25,
            depth: 50
        }
    },
    plotOptions: {
        column: {
            stacking: 'normal',
            depth: 25,
            borderColor: 'white',
            borderWidth: 2
        }
    },
    series: [{
        name: 'Stack 1',
        data: [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
    }, {
        name: 'Stack 2',
        data: [5, 10, 15, 20, 25]
    }]
});

Adding data to Highcharts Stacked 3D Column Chart: Adding data to a Stacked 3D Column Chart involves specifying the stacking property. Use the data property within the series object. Here's an example:
```
series: [{
    name: 'Stack 1',
    data: [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
}, {
    name: 'Stack 2',
    data: [5, 10, 15, 20, 25]
}]
```
Grouped Stacked 3D Column Chart in Highcharts: To create a grouped Stacked 3D Column Chart, use multiple series within the same chart. Here's an example:
```
series: [{
    name: 'Group 1',
    data: [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
}, {
    name: 'Group 2',
    data: [5, 10, 15, 20, 25]
}]
```
Interactive features in Highcharts Stacked 3D Column Chart: Highcharts supports interactive features like tooltips, click events, and legends in Stacked 3D Column Charts. You can enable these features to enhance user interaction. Here's a snippet for tooltip configuration:
```
tooltip: {
    pointFormat: 'Value: {point.y}'
}
```

3D Column Chart with multiple series using Highcharts: To create a 3D Column Chart with multiple series, use the options3d property and specify the depth and groupZPadding properties. Here's an example:

chart: {
    type: 'column',
    options3d: {
        enabled: true,
        alpha: 15,
        beta: 15,
        viewDistance: 25,
        depth: 50
    }
},
series: [{
    name: 'Series 1',
    data: [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
}, {
    name: 'Series 2',
    data: [5, 10, 15, 20, 25],
    group: 'group2' // Assign a different group to create a grouped 3D column chart
}]
