Highlight chart element

[paulguz]

Hi,

 

When the mouse is moved over part of a chart (e.g. a bar in a bar chart, a slice of a pie), that part is highlighted.

 

In our collaboration tool, we'd like to replicate that highlighting in the collaborator's browser.  Is there a way to programmatically highlight a part of a chart?   I see the dataplotRollover event allows the capturing of the rollover, but I don't see any command to perform the highlighting.

 

Thanks,

 

Paul

Hi Paul,

 

To highlighted a part of the chart programatically you have to re render the whole chart using methods like setChartData and set a highlighted color for that particular set captured using dataPlotRollOver. 

But you may face some performance issues as the whole chart is re rendered.

Hi Paul,

 

Can you share with us a use case of how your collaboration tool works, and how you programmatically render it on a different browser.
