Views¶
Common options¶
Highchart views all share the same general options. If one of these options
is not set by a class property or an instance property, it’ll use the
default value (generally None)
title: The title of the graphsubtitle: will display a subtitle. May contain HTML tags (including links)tooltip_point_format: formatting the tooltip over a data point using the Highchart appropriate format. (e.g.:"{series.name} produced <b>{point.y:,.0f}</b><br/>warheads in {point.x}")plot_options(defaults to{}): this dictionary will be directly converted into a JSON object and assigned to the data.plotOptions property on the client-side (it was too difficult to cover all the cases implied by this dictionary.)
Basic usage¶
Overriding options¶
Any option (or parameter) is a property, but it can be easily replaced by a method if you need to generate it using code.
Examples:
class BarView(HighChartsBarView):
title = 'My new (static) title'
class BarViewAgain(HighChartsBarView):
@property
def title(self):
return 'My stats for %s' % datetime.date.today()
Available views¶
HighChartsBarView¶
from highcharts.views import HighChartsBarView
Extra options¶
categories(defaults to[]): should return a list of string,y_axis_title(defaults to""): the title of the Y axis.
HighChartsStackedView¶
from highcharts.views import HighChartsStackedView
Extra options¶
Since it’s a variant of the HighChartsBarView, it supports the same options.
