Welcome to the Highcharts JS (highcharts) Options Reference

These pages outline the chart configuration options, and the methods and properties of Highcharts objects.

plotOptions.packedbubble

A packed bubble series is a two dimensional series type, where each point renders a value in X, Y position. Each point is drawn as a bubble where the bubbles don't overlap with each other and the radius of the bubble relates to the value.

Configuration options for the series are given in three levels:

  1. Options for all series in a chart are defined in the plotOptions.series object.
  2. Options for all packedbubble series are defined in plotOptions.packedbubble.
  3. Options for one single series are given in the series instance array.
Highcharts.chart('container', {
    plotOptions: {
        series: {
            // general options for all series
        },
        packedbubble: {
            // shared options for all packedbubble series
        }
    },
    series: [{
        // specific options for this series instance
        type: 'packedbubble'
    }]
});

TypeScript:

  • the type option must always be set.
  • when accessing an array of series, the combined set of all series types is represented by Highcharts.SeriesOptionsType . Narrowing down to the specific type can be done by checking the type property.
if (chart.options.series?.[0]?.type === packedbubble) {
    // code specific to the packedbubble series
}
