I'm looking for a way to show a info text in Highcharts when using drilldowns. I want a text that tells my visitors that another chart has been showed up. A title for example: "New chart - more about Animals"
http://jsfiddle.net/6zYmJ/
Do you have any ideas how to do that?
$(function () {
// Create the chart
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'column'
},
title: {
text: 'Basic drilldown'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'category'
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
borderWidth: 0,
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
}
}
},
series: [{
name: 'Things',
colorByPoint: true,
data: [{
name: 'Animals',
y: 5,
drilldown: 'animals'
}, {
name: 'Fruits',
y: 2,
drilldown: 'fruits'
}, {
name: 'Cars',
y: 4,
drilldown: 'cars'
}]
}, {
name: 'Things',
colorByPoint: true,
data: [{
name: 'Animals2',
y: 5,
drilldown: 'animals2'
}, {
name: 'Fruits2',
y: 2,
drilldown: 'fruits2'
}, {
name: 'Cars2',
y: 4,
drilldown: 'cars2'
}]
}],
drilldown: {
series: [{
id: 'animals',
data: [
['Cats', 4],
['Dogs', 2],
['Cows', 1],
['Sheep', 2],
['Pigs', 1]
]
}, {
id: 'fruits',
data: [
['Apples', 4],
['Oranges', 2]
]
}, {
id: 'cars',
data: [
['Toyota', 4],
['Opel', 2],
['Volkswagen', 2]
]
},{
id: 'animals2',
data: [
['Cats', 4],
['Dogs', 2],
['Cows', 1],
['Sheep', 2],
['Pigs', 1]
]
}, {
id: 'fruits2',
data: [
['Apples', 4],
['Oranges', 2]
]
}, {
id: 'cars2',
data: [
['Toyota', 4],
['Opel', 2],
['Volkswagen', 2]
]
}]
}
})
});
For example using drilldown
and drillup
events (API), a couple of variables and Chart.setTitle
(API). Like this:
var defaultTitle = "Basic drilldown";
var drilldownTitle = "More about ";
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
type: 'column',
renderTo: 'container',
events: {
drilldown: function(e) {
chart.setTitle({ text: drilldownTitle + e.point.name });
},
drillup: function(e) {
chart.setTitle({ text: defaultTitle });
}
}
},
title: {
text: defaultTitle
},
// ... more options
});
