Question

I am trying to invert a chart through code in Highcharts.

I am setting the chart inverted property:

chart.inverted = true;
chart.redraw();

You can see the code I am using here:

This doesn’t invert the chart. It seems to me that the redraw() function doesn’t seem to care for the inverted property.

Any help/suggestions/tips in the matter will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Calling redraw() will only redraw data changes. Browsing the methods in the Highcharts API there does not appear to be a method which will change the inverted setting of an existing chart.

Your only option in this case is to destroy the existing chart and create a new one with the relevant chart.inverted setting.
