category :number|string

For categorized axes this property holds the category name for the point. For other axes it holds the X value.

Type:
  • number | string
Inherited From:

colorIndex :number|undefined

The point's current color index, used in styled mode instead of color. The color index is inserted in class names used for styling.

Type:
  • number | undefined
Inherited From:

dataGroup :Highcharts.DataGroupingInfoObject|undefined

Highcharts Stock only. If a point object is created by data grouping, it doesn't reflect actual points in the raw data. In this case, the dataGroup property holds information that points back to the raw data.

  • dataGroup.start is the index of the first raw data point in the group.

  • dataGroup.length is the amount of points in the group.

graphic :Highcharts.SVGElement|undefined

SVG graphic representing the point in the chart. In some cases it may be a hidden graphic to improve accessibility.

Typically this is a simple shape, like a rect for column charts or path for line markers, but for some complex series types like boxplot or 3D charts, the graphic may be a g element containing other shapes. The graphic is generated the first time Highcharts.Series#drawPoints runs, and updated and moved on subsequent runs.

graphics :Array.<Highcharts.SVGElement>|undefined

<readonly> index :number

Contains the point's index in the Series.points array.

Type:
  • number
Inherited From:

isHeader :boolean

Inherited From:

name :string

The name of the point. The name can be given as the first position of the point configuration array, or as a name property in the configuration:

Type:
  • string
Inherited From:
Example
// Array config

}, {
    name: 'Jane',
    y: 2
}]

options :Highcharts.PointOptionsObject

The point's options as applied in the initial configuration, or extended through Point.update.

In TypeScript you have to extend PointOptionsObject via an additional interface to allow custom data options:

declare interface PointOptionsObject {
    customProperty: string;
}

The zone item.

haloPath(size)

Get the path definition for the halo, which is usually a shadow-like circle around the currently hovered point.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
size number

Returns:
Highcharts.SVGPathArray .

The path definition.

init(series, options [, x])

Initialize the point. Called internally based on the series.data option.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
series Highcharts.Series

The series object containing this point.

options Highcharts.PointOptionsType

The data in either number, array or object format.

x number <optional>

Optionally, the X value of the point.

e Highcharts.PointerEventObject <optional>

The event arguments.

Inherited From:

optionsToObject(options)

Transform number or array configs into objects. Also called for object configs. Used internally to unify the different configuration formats for points. For example, a simple number 10 in a line series will be transformed to { y: 10 }, and an array config like [1, 10] in a scatter series will be transformed to { x: 1, y: 10 }.

Parameters:

Inherited From:
Returns:
Array.<number> | undefined .

Coordinates of the point if the point exists.

remove( [redraw] [, animation])

Remove a point and optionally redraw the series and if necessary the axes

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
redraw boolean <optional>
true

Whether to redraw the chart or wait for an explicit call. When doing more operations on the chart, for example running point.remove() in a loop, it is best practice to set redraw to false and call chart.redraw() after.

animation boolean | Partial.<Highcharts.AnimationOptionsObject> <optional>
false

Whether to apply animation, and optionally animation configuration.

Inherited From:
Try it

select( [selected] [, accumulate])

Toggle the selection status of a point.

When true, the point is selected. When false, the point is unselected. When null or undefined, the selection state is toggled.

accumulate boolean <optional>
false

When true, the selection is added to other selected points. When false, other selected points are deselected. Internally in Highcharts, when allowPointSelect is true, selected points are accumulated on Control, Shift or Cmd clicking the point.

options Highcharts.PointOptionsType

The point options. Point options are handled as described under the series.type.data item for each series type.

If it is an object, advanced options are applied.
