Highcharts fold/unfold waterfall


I use Highcharts watefall (and stacked waterfall for multiple measures) and it is very powerfull. I would like to get a better render with a dynamic fold/unfold. In the following example : https://jsfiddle.net/vegaelce/4x1ndpjr/ I would all california/colorado/dc columns hidden by default (only Subtotals & Total columns visible) and when mouse overed a Subtotal/Total column, the dedicated california/colorado/dc columns are shown.

I think I can use

  plotOptions: {
column: {
  point: {
    events: {
      mouseOver: function() {
      ...
      }
      mouseOut: function() {
      ...
      }
    }}}}

But how to hide columns that are not isIntermediateSum and display only the ones concerned by the isIntermediateSum overed ?

Thanks


Solution

  • You can use breaks for x-axis and dynamically update chart depending on hovered point. Example:

    function generateBreaks(hoveredX) {
        const breaks = [];
    
        for (let i = 3; i < 12; i += 4) {
            if (hoveredX !== i) {
                breaks.push({
                    breakSize: 0,
                    from: i - 0.5 - 3,
                    to: i - 0.5
                });
            }
        }
    
        return breaks;
    };
    
    Highcharts.chart('container', {
        xAxis: {
            ...,
            breaks: generateBreaks()
        },
        ...
    });
