You can do something like this:

var chart1 = new Highcharts.StockChart({
   chart: {
      zoomType: 'xy', //requried!
      ...
   }
   ...
});

function SwitchToZoomX() {
   chart1.pointer.zoomX = true;
   chart1.pointer.zoomY = false;
   chart1.pointer.zoomHor = true;
   chart1.pointer.zoomVert = false;
}

function SwitchToZoomY() {
   chart1.pointer.zoomY = true;
   chart1.pointer.zoomX = false;
   chart1.pointer.zoomVert = true;
   chart1.pointer.zoomHor = false;
}
