If a message displays, saying that a JavaScript module may be missing, go to the Highcharts documentation and find out which modules are required for each chart type.

The following example fetches data from the Datamart and creates a variwide chart: 

Tips

• If you cannot find an example of an existing logic that uses a chart type that you intend to use, it should be fairly easy to adapt one of the Highcharts Demos. Select your chart and click on the 'View Options' button and you will see the JS source code, including a Highcharts.chart('container', {...}) call. This {...} content is the definition map. You will have to convert it from JS to Groovy. This always implies replacing the curly brackets by square brackets ({} -> []). But you may also sometimes encounter code like Highcharts.color(colors[5]).brighten(0.2).get() which you should replace by your own hard coded colors, or formatter: function () {...} which you would have to replace by a simpler pattern formatter format: '{point.name}: {point.y:.1f}%'.
  
  

• If you want to remove the “Highcharts.com” watermark and link from the chart, use the credits property in your definition:

  def chartDef = [
  	chart: [ type: 'column' ],
  		credits: [
  				enabled: false
  			],
  
  		title: [
  			text: 'My Chart'
  		],

• If you have a pie chart in a Quote or Agreement/Promotion custom header, chart data labels may not be displayed due to the header's limited space. To make sure the labels are displayed, you must specify a smaller than the default distance of the labels from the pie chart edge. In the following example, you set the distance to 5 instead of the default 30. The value can also be defined as a percentage of the pie's radius:

  "dataLabels": {
          "enabled": true,
          "format": "<b>{point.name}:</b> {point.y:,.2f} %",
          "style": { "fontWeight": "normal" },
          "distance": 5
        },
