Vaadin Chart: How to use Global configuration

There is a Global configuration object, however I am not able to see how it can be used.

This is needed, for example, to set the timezoneOffset.

Since it does not apply for any specific chart, I would expect a static setting/getter somewhere, but I couldn't find a reference which uses it.

Solution

  • It looks like something is missing and that class is not used at the moment. Can you create an issue in github.com/vaadin/charts/issues/new ? Other global settings like Lang or Theme can be set as shown in this example

    As a workaround you can execute javascript snippet shown in Global javadoc. Check vaadin docs for executing javascript https://vaadin.com/docs/v8/framework/advanced/advanced-javascript.html

    JavaScript.getCurrent().execute(
            "Highcharts.setOptions({"
            + "  global: {"
            + "    timezoneOffset:60"
            + "  }"
            + "});");

    Remember that timezoneOffset is in minutes
