    1. please expose the 'id' attribute of series. highCharts and highStock can use chart.get(id) to get an series/axis/point. point and axis and explicitly get and set an id attribute except series.
    2. add function 'getPointsByCategory'. I am using a column chart and I have to get points in specific column, but I have to do it myself because I can't find a function to do it.

    best wishes for a more perfect highCharts. Thank you very much.

  1. Allow for collapsing and showing of rows. For instance a row category expands to two child nodes: - Vegetables -> Carrots, Broccoli and collapses + Vegetables

  2. It would be better if we can set the number of times the graph would animate. This would be most useful in case we have graph placed in heavy loading web page, where before the whole web page gets loaded, the animation of the graph gets completed. so that user is not able to see the graph animation. user just see the graph which is static and not animated.

  3. Allow the rangeSelector options to be associated with a specific xAxis for the Stock product.

    If more than one xAxis is present the rangeSelector does not seem to work. I would like to tie it to the xAxis used for the navigator.

  4. I know the current Highcharts support animation when updating series data. However, I think Highcharts would be really useful if it can provide a way to play, replay, step forward, step backwards kind of interface.

    Let say I have a time series chart, then I have configured the chart to only display 10 data points with spline. Then load the series of data containing 100 data points. When user clicks play, it will play through the data trend.

    Same thing can apply to bar and pie charts. But ultimately, I think the most interesting one is using with Heatmap.

  5. I have an application that uses UTC in some graphs and non UTC time in other. It would be great to have is as a configuration.

  6. It would be great if we could customise the legend symbols. I managed to drill down and find the borderRadius in the main js file but would be good if this was an option like in the main legend box...

    Also if we could replace the symbols with images that would be great too. ie we could have flags for country data etc.

    if (simpleSymbol) { // bar|pie|area|column

                                       legendSymbol = renderer.rect(
                                               (symbolX = -symbolWidth - symbolPadding),
                                               (symbolY = -11),
                                               symbolWidth,
                                               12,
                                               0       // affects border radius of legend symbol
                                       ).attr({
                                               //'stroke-width': 0,
                                               zIndex: 3
                                       }).add(legendGroup);
    
                               // draw the marker
                               }

  7. Provide some way of including an image in an axis label. For example, I may want to prefix the axis labels with an icon.

    I've tried including HTML in the axis label and using axis.labels.formatter to add image HTML into the label. Neither worked. I've seen reference to using renderer for doing this, but I haven't been able to find an example.

  8. Highcharts really needs better error reporting. For example, when I tried to call new Highcharts.Chart(), I get the error "TypeError: Cannot set property 'innerHTML' of undefined". Really, I should get something like, "Missing required argument: options" or something descriptive like that. Right now I'm trying to debug this error from Highcharts: "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined".

    These problems make it seem like Highcharts is full of bugs. Instead, I'm sure I'm just using it incorrectly. The error messages should help educate me on what I'm doing wrong so I can quickly correct it.

  9. We have a user requirement, inspired from Yahoo/Google finance, ie:
    In case of single series( read first series, eg stock) they would like to see actual values on Y axis.
    but whenever a new series is added they would like to switch to compare percent mode and vice-versa.

  10. While Highcharts Stock supports dynamically updated data, the new data points are applied in a jerky fashion. It's becoming easier to build real-world real-time data applications: it'd be great if HighCharts Stock could handle these updates in a smoother fashion (similar to Smoothies http://joewalnes.com/2010/08/10/introducing-smoothie-charts/).

  15. Same as Bar with negative stack but instead of data points starting out from the center and going outwards towards the left Y-axis and right Y-axis, have data start from the left and right Y-axis but moving towards the center (with an arrow for each bar)

  16. Each column could be constructed with a series of images. So for example if I wanted each bar to be made up of a column of little blue squares, I could specify the image to use and the chart would use that to construct each bar.

  18. When you create more datetime irregular series, by now only the same datetime values are used to create the stack, resulting in a correct-but-ugly graph.

  19. I need to be able to capture mouse events on axes - primarily hover (mouseenter/mouseleave) and click - so that I can expose axis options in a user friendly way.

    I suggest adding these events to the axis definition, much the same way that series and points are done. Also need to be able to identify which axis was clicked (just the id is fine)
