Highcharts Sync charts horizontally

Question

I am trying to build a synchronous charts but aligned horizontally, I did it based on

http://www.highcharts.com/demo/synchronized-charts

I made the alignment horizontal, now the charts are not synchronous

/*
The purpose of this demo is to demonstrate how multiple charts on the same page can be linked
through DOM and Highcharts events and API methods. It takes a standard Highcharts config with a
small variation for each data set, and a mouse/touch event handler to bind the charts together.

     * built-in events with handlers defined on the parent element.

Any help is much appricated,

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You could edit event.chartX after coordiantes are found in each chart by adding:

event.chartX = (event.chartX+600) % 200;

Adding 600 to avoid negative values and % by 200 because each chart has 200px of width. Example: http://jsfiddle.net/fzda6z8p/

Relevant part of code:

$('#container').bind('mousemove touchmove touchstart', function (e) {
    var chart,
        point,
        i,
        event;

    for (i = 0; i < Highcharts.charts.length; i = i + 1) {
        chart = Highcharts.charts[i];
        event = chart.pointer.normalize(e.originalEvent); // Find coordinates within the chart

        event.chartX = (event.chartX+600) % 200;

        point = chart.series[0].searchPoint(event, true); // Get the hovered point
        if (point) {
            point.highlight(e);
        }
    }
});
