Exploring PlotOptions
plotOptions
is a wrapper object for config objects for each series type, which are area, areaspline, bar, column, pie, scatter, spline gauge, and range. These configurations have properties such as
plotOptions.line.lineWidth
, common to other series types, as well as other configurations such as plotOptions.pie.center
,
which is only specific to the pie series type. Among the specific series, there is plotOptions.series
, which is used for common plotting options shared by the whole series.
The preceding plotOptions
can form a chain of precedence between plotOptions.series
, plotOptions.{series-type}
, and the series configuration. For example, series[x].shadow
(where series[x].type
is 'pie'
) has a higher precedence than plotOptions.pie.shadow
, which in turn has a higher precedence than plotOptions.series.shadow
.
The purpose of this is the chart composed of multiple different series types. For example, a chart with multiple series of columns and a single line series, so...
