Welcome to the Highcharts JS (highcharts) Options Reference

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

series.bar.data

An array of data points for the series. For the bar series type, points can be given in the following ways:

  1. An array of numerical values. In this case, the numerical values will be interpreted as y options. The x values will be automatically calculated, either starting at 0 and incremented by 1, or from pointStart and pointInterval given in the series options. If the axis has categories, these will be used. Example:

    data: [0, 5, 3, 5]
    
  2. An array of arrays with 2 values. In this case, the values correspond to x,y. If the first value is a string, it is applied as the name of the point, and the x value is inferred.

    data: [
        [0, 5],
        [1, 10],
        [2, 3]
    ]
    
  3. An array of objects with named values. The following snippet shows only a few settings, see the complete options set below. If the total number of data points exceeds the series' turboThreshold, this option is not available.

    data: [{
        x: 1,
        y: 1,
        name: "Point2",
        color: "#00FF00"
    }, {
        x: 1,
        y: 10,
        name: "Point1",
        color: "#FF00FF"
    }]
