Resize issue while gridster.js with highcharts


Highcharts inside the gridster widgets not resize automatically when I resize the gridster widgets. When I resize the window, highchart are resized based on the grid sizes. But it should happen automatically when I resize the grid.

Code I tried is below :

<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>GridSter With HighChart</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://gridster.net/dist/jquery.gridster.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://gridster.net/demos/assets/demo.css">
<body>

  <div class="controls">
      <button class="js-resize-random">Resize random widget</button>
  </div>

  <div class="gridster ready">
    <ul style="height: 520px; width: 550px; position: relative;">
      <li class="gs-w" data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="2" data-sizey="4">
        <div id="container" style="width:100%;margin: 0 auto"></div>
      <span class="gs-resize-handle gs-resize-handle-both"></span></li>
      <li class="gs-w" data-row="1" data-col="3" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="2">1<span class="gs-resize-handle gs-resize-handle-both"></span></li>
      <li class="gs-w" data-row="1" data-col="4" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">2<span class="gs-resize-handle gs-resize-handle-both"></span></li>
      <li class="gs-w" data-row="3" data-col="2" data-sizex="3" data-sizey="1">3<span class="gs-resize-handle gs-resize-handle-both"></span></li>
      <li class="gs-w" data-row="1" data-col="5" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="3">9<span class="gs-resize-handle gs-resize-handle-both"></span></li>
    </ul>

Solution

  • According to the Highcharts api, automatic reflow only occurs on window.resize events. You'll have to do this explicitly. I'd simply do it in gridster's resize.stop callback:

    gridster = $(".gridster ul").gridster({
          widget_base_dimensions: [100, 55],
          widget_margins: [5, 5],
          helper: 'clone',
          resize: {
            enabled: true,
            stop: function(e, ui, $widget) {
              Highcharts.charts[0].reflow(); // reflow the first chart...
            }
          }
       }).data('gridster');
