I have been building a basic webpage which displays data from a weather station with multiple synchronised highcharts, with the help of others here and here I have been able to implement a fully working version for mouse based systems (windows etc), how do I adapt the code below to also capture the touchstart and touchmove events:
//catch mousemove event and have all charts' crosshairs move along indicated values on x axis
function syncronizeCrossHairs(chart) {
var container = $(chart.container),
offset = container.offset(),
x;
container.mousemove(function(evt) {
x = evt.clientX - chart.plotLeft - offset.left;
//remove old plot line and draw new plot line (crosshair) for this chart
var xAxis1 = chart1.xAxis[0],
points = [],
points1 = [],
points2 = [],
points3 = [],
points4 = [],
e = chart1.pointer.normalize(evt); // Find coordinates within the chart
chart1.series.forEach(s => {
var point = s.searchPoint(e, true)
if (point) {
point.setState();
points.push(point)
}
})
if (points) {
var number = 0;
Highcharts.each(points, function(p, i) {
if (!p.series.visible) {
points.splice(i - number, 1);
number++;
}
})
if (points.length) {
chart1.tooltip.refresh(points); // Show the tooltip
}
}
xAxis1.removePlotLine("myPlotLineId");
xAxis1.addPlotLine({
value: chart.xAxis[0].translate(x, true),
width: 1,
id: "myPlotLineId"
});
/*----- second chart ------*/
var xAxis2 = chart2.xAxis[0];
chart2.series.forEach(s => {
var point = s.searchPoint(e, true)
if (point) {
point.setState();
points1.push(point)
}
})
if (points1[0]) {
var number = 0;
Highcharts.each(points1, function(p, i) {
if (!p.series.visible) {
points1.splice(i - number, 1);
number++;
}
})
if (points1.length) {
chart2.tooltip.refresh(points1); // Show the tooltip
}
}
xAxis2.removePlotLine("myPlotLineId");
xAxis2.addPlotLine({
value: chart.xAxis[0].translate(x, true),
width: 1,
id: "myPlotLineId"
});
/*----- third chart ------*/
var xAxis3 = chart3.xAxis[0];
chart3.series.forEach(s => {
var point = s.searchPoint(e, true)
if (point) {
point.setState();
points2.push(point)
}
})
if (points2[0]) {
var number = 0;
Highcharts.each(points1, function(p, i) {
if (!p.series.visible) {
points2.splice(i - number, 1);
number++;
}
})
if (points2.length) {
chart3.tooltip.refresh(points2); // Show the tooltip
}
}
xAxis3.removePlotLine("myPlotLineId");
xAxis3.addPlotLine({
value: chart.xAxis[0].translate(x, true),
width: 1,
id: "myPlotLineId"
});
//if you have other charts that need to be syncronized - update their crosshair (plot line) in the same way in this function.
});
}
Thanks
Base on this example from official Highcharts demo base https://www.highcharts.com/demo/synchronized-charts I was able to wrap similar pattern to your code.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/mnLzbe1s/
['mousemove', 'touchmove', 'touchstart'].forEach(function(eventType) {
var container = $(chart.container),
offset = container.offset(),
x;
container[0].addEventListener(eventType,
(function(evt) {
x = evt.clientX - chart.plotLeft - offset.left;
//remove old plot line and draw new plot line (crosshair) for this chart
var xAxis1 = chart1.xAxis[0],
points = [],
points1 = [],
points2 = [],
points3 = [],
e = chart1.pointer.normalize(evt); // Find coordinates within the chart
...
})
)
})
