Behold, my masterpiece of code
$(function () {
$(document).ready(function() {
Highcharts.setOptions({
global: {
useUTC: false
}
});
var chart;
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'spline',
animation: Highcharts.svg, // don't animate in old IE
marginRight: 10,
events: {
load: function() {
// set up the updating of the chart each second
var series = this.series[0];
setInterval(function() {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y = Math.random();
series.addPoint([x, y], true, true);
}, 1000);
}
}
},
title: {
text: 'Live random data'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
tickPixelInterval: 450
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Value'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
},
plotOptions:{
series : {
lineWidth:1
}
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function() {
return '<b>'+ this.series.name +'</b><br/>'+
Highcharts.dateFormat('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', this.x) +'<br/>'+
Highcharts.numberFormat(this.y, 2);
}
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Random data',
data: (function() {
// generate an array of random data
var data = [],
time = (new Date()).getTime(),
i;
for (i = -30; i <= 0; i++) {
data.push({
x: time + i * 1000,
y: Math.random()
});
}
return data;
})(),
color:'red'
}]
});
});
});
Imagine giving a unique color to points that stand out from their neighbors.
How can this be achieved?
One proposed method involves storing the highest value encountered so far in a variable. If a new value surpasses the current maximum, it should be updated and the corresponding graph point assigned a different color.
Are there more direct ways to accomplish this task?
