Turning off animation in HighCharts globally

Question

I am using HighCharts for producing multi-panel charts with multiple series. As far as I can tell, the only way to stop the animation is to use an

animation: false 

atrribution for the plotOptions attribute set for each chart, and then again for each series. Is there a way of setting animaiton off by default for all charts drawn?

Answer 1

Yes, you have to use Highcharts.setOptions.
This way you can set default options for all your charts.

Highcharts.setOptions({
    plotOptions: {
        series: {
            animation: false
        }
    }
});

Answer 2

if still not disabling the animation, after setting

 plotOptions: {
    series: {
        animation: false
    }
 }

in highcharts.js find

plotOptions : {
        line : {
            allowPointSelect : !1,
            showCheckbox : !1,
            animation : {
                duration : 0
            },

Here I have set the animation duration 0, it works :)
