Is it possible to make highcharts crosshair that vill show actual value on the axis in the separate label?
Regular crosshair example out from API doesnt do this. If I set
tooltip: {
crosshairs: [true, true]
}
, it doesnt do what I need.
I need chart to look like this:
It's just general idea: http://jsfiddle.net/r7fdh/ - you need to add checking if cursor is inside plot (use chart.plot[Left/Top/Width/Height]
) and you may need to use something else than event.page[X/Y]
for getting position.
Code:
$("#container").mousemove(move);
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container'
},
series: [{
data: [29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2, 144.0, 176.0, 135.6, 148.5, 216.4, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4]
}]
});
function move(event) {
var x = event.pageX,
y = event.pageY,
path = ['M', chart.plotLeft, y,
'L', chart.plotLeft + chart.plotWidth, y,
'M', x, chart.plotTop,
'L', x, chart.plotTop + chart.plotHeight];
if (chart.crossLines) {
// update lines
chart.crossLines.attr({
d: path
});
} else {
// draw lines
chart.crossLines = chart.renderer.path(path).attr({
'stroke-width': 2,
stroke: 'green',
zIndex: 10
}).add();
}
if (chart.crossLabel) {
// update label
chart.crossLabel.attr({
y: y + 6,
text: chart.yAxis[0].toValue(y).toFixed(2)
});
} else {
// draw label
chart.crossLabel = chart.renderer.text(chart.yAxis[0].toValue(y).toFixed(2), chart.plotLeft - 40, y + 6).add();
}
}
This is implemented in the Highstock API, see http://api.highcharts.com/highstock#xAxis.crosshair.label.
In order to use it with Highcharts, just load highstock.js and initialize a regular Highcharts: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/vmyau00g/
crosshair: {
label: {
enabled: true,
padding: 8
}
}
Defaulty it is not possible, but you can set mouseover/mouse events and use renderer to add custom shape/object.
