Summary

In this chapter, we explored different Highcharts types. We first learned about different gauges, including the angular gauge, solid gauge, and VU meter. We modified their appearance, including their pane and background, by utilizing their different configuration options. Then we explored waterfall, pyramid, and funnel charts. At the end, we learned about heat maps, a new chart type added to Highcharts Version 4.

This concludes our journey exploring chart types that come with Highcharts. In the next chapter, we will begin working with the theming API to overhaul the appearance of our charts.

We did, then collated those deliberations into absurd research articles with fake figures and methodologies inspired by even more fictionally absurd studies.
