### Extends

- Highcharts.Point

### Members

#### 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:
    - Highcharts.Point#category

#### color :Highcharts.ColorType|undefined

  The point's current color.

  ##### Type:

  - Highcharts.ColorType | undefined
  Inherited From:
    - Highcharts.Point#color

#### 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:
    - Highcharts.Point#colorIndex

#### 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.

  ##### Type:

  - Highcharts.DataGroupingInfoObject | undefined
  Inherited From:
    - Highcharts.Point#dataGroup

  ##### Try it

  - Click to inspect raw data points.

#### 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.

  ##### Type:

  - Highcharts.SVGElement | undefined
  Inherited From:
    - Highcharts.Point#graphic
  See also:
    - Highcharts.Point#graphics

#### graphics :Array.<Highcharts.SVGElement>|undefined

  Array for multiple SVG graphics representing the point in the chart. Only used in cases where the point can not be represented by a single graphic.

  ##### Type:

  - Array.<Highcharts.SVGElement> | undefined
  Inherited From:
    - Highcharts.Point#graphics
  See also:

  ##### Type:

  - boolean

#### key :number|string

          y: 2
      }]

#### options :Highcharts.PointOptionsObject

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

  ##### Parameters:

  Name | Type | Argument | Default | Description
  --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
  `vis` | boolean | <optional> |  | True to show the pie slice or other data point, false to hide. If undefined, the visibility is toggled.
  `redraw` | boolean | <optional> | true | Whether to redraw the chart after the point is altered. If doing more operations on the chart, it is a good idea to set redraw to false and call chart.redraw() after.

  Inherited From:
    - Highcharts.Point#setVisible

#### sonify( [onEnd])

  Play a sonification of a point.

  ##### Parameters:

  Name | Type | Argument | Description

If it is an object, advanced options are applied.
  `redraw` | boolean | <optional> | true | Whether to redraw the chart after the point is updated. If doing more operations on the chart, it is best practice to set `redraw` to false and call `chart.redraw()` after.
  `animation` | boolean | Partial.<Highcharts.AnimationOptionsObject> | <optional> | true | Whether to apply animation, and optionally animation configuration.

  Inherited From:
    - Highcharts.Point#update

  ##### Fires:
