Highcharts Stacked Bar Chart
The following example demonstrates a stacked bar chart.
We have already learned the basic configuration syntax of Highcharts in previous chapters. Now, let's look at other configurations.
Configuration
plotOptions
To configure chart stacking, use plotOptions.series.stacking and set it to "normal". If you want to disable stacking, set it to null. "normal" stacks by value, while "percent" stacks by percentage.
var plotOptions = {
series: {
stacking: 'normal'
}
};
