plotOptions

bar

horizontal: Boolean

This option will turn a column chart into a horiontal bar chart.

startingShape: String

Available Options

flat
rounded

endingShape: String

Available Options

flat
rounded

columnWidth: String

In column charts, columnWidth is the percentage of the available width in the grid-rect.
Accepts ‘0%’ to ‘100%’

barHeight: String

In horizontal bar charts, barHeight is the percentage of the available height in the grid-rect.
Accepts ‘0%’ to ‘100%’

distributed: Boolean

Turn this option to make the bars discrete. Each value indicates one bar per series.

rangeBarOverlap: Boolean

In a rangeBar / timeline chart, the bars should overlap over each other instead of stacking if this option is enabled.

rangeBarGroupRows: Boolean

In a multi-series rangeBar / timeline chart, group rows (horizontal bars) together instead of stacking up. Helpful when there are no overlapping rows but distinct values.

Full example

colors:

ranges: Array

from: Number

Value indicating range’s upper limit

to: Number

Value indicating range’s lower limit

color: String

Color to fill the range with

backgroundBarColors: Array

Custom colors for background rects. The number of colors in the array is repeated if less colors than data-points are specified.

backgroundBarOpacity: Number

Opacity for background colors of the bar

backgroundBarRadius: Number

Border radius for background rect of the bar

dataLabels:

position: String

Available Options

top
center
bottom

orientation: String

Available Options

horizontal
vertical

maxItems: Number

Maximum limit of data-labels that can be displayed on a bar chart. If data-points exceed this number, data-labels won’t be shown.

hideOverflowingLabels: Boolean

When there are values that are very close to one another, this property prevents it by hiding overlapping labels.
Note: This affects only stacked charts
