pageX, pageY to chartX, chartY's datapoints not coord highcharts












-1















Is there a way to convert the coordinates of the entire page's X and Y coordinates to the chart's point?



I know you can get it in reverse.



var manualPt = {pageX:155, pageY: 242} //<--the point I want to display
//on the chart as a datapoint and not a chartX, chartY coordinate.

function onClick(e) {
$('#report').text('x: ' + e.pageX+ ', y: ' + e.pageY).css({
'position': 'absolute',
'left': e.offsetX,
'top': e.offsetY
})
//this would be the reverse.. knowing where the point on the chart is
//and then get pageX and pageY
}

var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container'
},
xAxis: {},
tooltip: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
data: [29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2, 144.0, 176.0, 135.6, 148.5, 216.4, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4],
events: {
click: onClick
}

}]
});

How can I accomplish this? Also it is possible that the coords of pageX and pageY may not be a data series in the existing chart.

  • outside of the chart. So the provided pageX and pageY is retrieved from a parent. I'm trying to pass this parent coord to child, within child is highcharts.

  • How do you imagine such a point is plotted? Since it is outside of the bounds of highcharts, what should that point look like? I think that you would need to create your own function that translates the pageX and pageY into coordinates, based on the windowsize.

You can calculate the pixel position of the point relative to the chart and use axis toValue method to get real data:



chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
events: {
load() {
var chart = this,
xAxis = chart.xAxis[0],
yAxis = chart.yAxis[0],
container = chart.renderTo,
x = xAxis.toValue(manualPt.pageX - container.offsetLeft),
y = yAxis.toValue(manualPt.pageY - container.offsetTop);

this.series[1].addPoint({
x: x,
y: y
});
}
}
}
