How to access the relevant documentation for plotLinesAndBands in Highcharts?


I am a newcomer learning Highcharts, and I've been exploring issues related to plotLines. I've noticed that many people mention plotLinesAndBands, but I haven't found any documentation about it on the official website or elsewhere. How can I obtain information about it?

Solution

  • The plotLinesAndBands object serves as the container for storing plotlines or plotBands within the chart configuration.

    The documentation outlines how to configure the chart, where plotLines/plotBands are directly specified within the axis, as follows:

      yAxis: {
        plotLines: [{
          color: 'blue',
          width: 5,
          value: 5.5
        }],
        plotBands: [{
          color: 'red',
          from: 2,
          to: 4
        }]
      },
    

    However, the plotlines or plotBands reside within the plotLinesAndBands object, and you can easily verify this using the devtool:
