A Highchart is defined in a calculation logic, using the api.buildHighchart method. Refer to the Highcharts API reference to explore the full variety of settings.

At the very least you need to provide series[n].type and series[n].data, or you can omit series.type if there is a default chart.type value.

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'
		],
```
