Selector

Inputs

NameTypeDefaultDescription

autoBaseUnitSteps

AutoBaseUnitSteps

The time-interval steps when baseUnit is set either to "fit" or "auto". The axis will try to divide the active period into the smallest possible units that yield maxDateGroups or less discrete intervals.

axisCrossingValue

any

The category index or the date (for date category axis) at which the first value axis crosses this axis. The category indices or the date (for date category axis) at which the value axes cross the category axis (when set as an array). To denote the far end of the axis, set an index greater than or equal to the number of categories.

background

string

The background color of the axis.

baseUnit

CategoryBaseUnit

The base time interval for the date axis. The default base unit is automatically determined by the minimum difference between subsequent categories. Setting baseUnit to "fit" sets such a base unit and categoryAxis.baseUnitStep that the total number of categories does not exceed categoryAxis.maxDateGroups.

Series data is aggregated for the specified base unit by using the series.aggregate function.

baseUnitStep

number | "auto"

The step (interval) between the categories in base units. Setting it to "auto" sets the step to such a value that the total number of categories does not exceed categoryAxis.maxDateGroups. The option is ignored if categoryAxis.baseUnit is set to "fit".

categories

any[]

The category names. The Chart creates a category for every item of the array.

color

string

The color to apply to all axis elements. Accepts a valid CSS color string, including HEX and RGB. Can be overridden by categoryAxis.labels.color and categoryAxis.line.color.

crosshair

CategoryAxisCrosshair

The configuration options of the crosshair. The crosshair is displayed when the categoryAxis.crosshair.visible option is set to true.

justified

boolean

If set to true, the Chart positions categories and series points on major ticks. This removes the empty space before and after the series. The default value is false except for "area", "verticalArea", "rangeArea", and "verticalRangeArea". The option is ignored if the series.type option is set to "bar", "column", "boxPlot", "ohlc", "candlestick", or "waterfall".

labels

CategoryAxisLabels

The configuration of the axis labels.

line

AxisLine

The configuration of the axis lines. Also affects the major and minor ticks, but not the grid lines.

majorGridLines

GridLines

The configuration of the major grid lines. These are the lines that are an extension of the major ticks through the body of the Chart.

majorTicks

AxisTicks

The configuration of the category axis major ticks.

max

any

The last date displayed on a date category axis or the index of the last category displayed on a category axis. By default, the max value is the same as the last category. This is often used in combination with the categoryAxis.min and categoryAxis.roundToBaseUnit options to set up a fixed date range.

maxDateGroups

number

10

The maximum number of groups (categories) to display when categoryAxis.baseUnit is set to "fit" or categoryAxis.baseUnitStep is set to "auto".

maxDivisions

number

The maximum number of ticks and labels to display. Applicable for date category axis.

min

any

The first date which is displayed on a date category axis or the index of the first category which is displayed on a category axis. By default, the min value is the same as the first category. This is often used in combination with the categoryAxis.max and categoryAxis.roundToBaseUnit options to set up a fixed date range.

minorGridLines

GridLines

The configuration of the minor grid lines. These are the lines that are an extension of the minor ticks through the body of the Chart.

minorTicks

AxisTicks

The configuration of the category axis minor ticks.

name

string

'primary'

The unique axis name. Used to associate a series with a category axis, which utilizes the series.categoryAxis option.

notes

CategoryAxisNotes

The configuration of the category axis notes.

pane

string

The name of the pane in which the category axis has to be rendered. If not set, the axis will be rendered in the first (default) pane.

plotBands

PlotBand[]

The plot bands of the category axis.

rangeLabels

CategoryAxisRangeLabels

The configuration of the date axis date range labels.

reverse

boolean

false

If set to true, the category axis direction is reversed. By default, categories are listed from left to right and from bottom to top.

roundToBaseUnit

boolean

true

If set to true, the Chart rounds the first and last date to the nearest base unit.

select

CategoryAxisSelect

The selected axis range. If set, the axis selection is enabled. The range is index-based, starting from zero. Categories with indexes in the range (select.from, select.to) will be selected. That is, the last category in the range will not be included in the selection. If the categories are dates, the range has to be also specified with date values. Selection is only supported if the axis is horizontal.

startAngle

number

90

The angle (degrees) of the first category on the axis. Angles increase clockwise with zero to the left. Negative values are acceptable.

title

CategoryAxisTitle

The title configuration of the category axis. To display the title, set the categoryAxis.title.text option.

type

"category" | "date"

'category'

The category axis type. The supported values include category for a discrete category axis and date for a specialized axis for displaying chronological data.

visible

boolean

true

If set to true, the Chart displays the category axis. By default, the category axis is visible.

weekStartDay

WeekStartDay

'Sunday'

The week start day when the baseUnit is set to "weeks".
