With HighCharts 3.0, it is now possible to indicate to colors above and below one threshold. Like this example :
http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/YWVHx/
Following code :
$(function () {
$.getJSON('http://www.highcharts.com/samples/data/jsonp.php?filename=range.json&callback=?', function(data) {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'arearange'
},
title: {
text: 'Temperature variation by day'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime'
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: null
}
},
tooltip: {
crosshairs: true,
shared: true,
valueSuffix: '°C'
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Temperatures',
data: data,
color: '#FF0000',
negativeColor: '#0088FF'
}]
});
});
});
Is it possible to have another threshold with a third color, like this for example :
Thanks in advance for your help.
A feature to solve this without "hacks" was added in Highcharts 4.1.0 (February 2015), called zones (API). The given problem can be solved like this, using zones:
plotOptions: {
series: {
zones: [{
value: 0, // Values up to 0 (not including) ...
color: 'blue' // ... have the color blue
},{
value: 10, // Values up to 10 (not including) ...
color: 'orange' // ... have the color orange
},{
color: 'red' // Values from 10 (including) and up have the color red
}]
}
}
See this JSFiddle demonstration of how it looks.
