Highcharts Stacked Column Chart
The following example demonstrates a stacked column chart.
We have already learned the basic configuration syntax of Highcharts in previous chapters. Next, let's look at other configurations. Add the stacking property in plotOptions:
Configuration
plotOptions: Data Point Options
plotOptions is used to set properties related to data points in the chart. The properties of plotOptions vary slightly depending on the chart type.
Configure the chart stacking by setting plotOptions.area.stacking to "percent". If stacking is disabled, use null.
var plotOptions = {
column: {
stacking: 'normal',
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.dataLabelsColor) || 'white',
style: {
textShadow: '0 0 3px black'
}
}
}
};
