time

Time options that can apply globally or to individual charts. These settings affect how datetime axes are laid out, how tooltips are formatted, how series pointIntervalUnit works and how the Highcharts Stock range selector handles time.

The common use case is that all charts in the same Highcharts object share the same time settings, in which case the global settings are set using setOptions.

// Apply time settings globally
Highcharts.setOptions({
    time: {
        timezone: 'Europe/London'
    }
});
// Apply time settings by instance
let chart = Highcharts.chart('container', {
    time: {
        timezone: 'America/New_York'
    },
    series: [{
        data: [1, 4, 3, 5]
    }]
});

// Use the Time object
console.log(
       'Current time in New York',
       chart.time.dateFormat('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', Date.now())
);

Since v6.0.5, the time options were moved from the global object to the time object, and time options can be set on each individual chart.
