Class Inheritance

copy(other=None, overwrite=True, **kwargs)

Copy the configuration settings from this instance to the other instance.

Parameters:

other (HighchartsMeta) – The target instance to which the properties of this instance should be copied. If None, will create a new instance and populate it with properties copied from self. Defaults to None.
overwrite (bool) – if True, properties in other that are already set will be overwritten by their counterparts in self. Defaults to True.
kwargs – Additional keyword arguments. Some special descendents of HighchartsMeta may have special implementations of this method which rely on additional keyword arguments.

Returns:

classmethod from_array(value)[source]

Creates a collection of data point instances, parsing the contents of value as an array (iterable). This method is specifically used to parse data that is input to Highcharts for Python without property names, in an array-organized structure as described in the Highcharts JS documentation.

See also

The specific structure of the expected array is highly dependent on the type of data point that the series needs, which itself is dependent on the series type itself.

Please review the detailed series documentation for series type-specific details of relevant array structures.

Note

An example of how this works for a simple LineSeries (which uses CartesianData data points) would be:

my_series = LineSeries()

# A simple array of numerical values which correspond to the Y value of the
# data point
my_series.data = [0, 5, 3, 5]

# An array containing 2-member arrays (corresponding to the X and Y values
# of the data point)
my_series.data = [
    [0, 0],
    [1, 5],
    [2, 3],
    [3, 5]
]

# An array of dict with named values
my_series.data = [
  {
      'x': 0,
      'y': 0,
      'name': 'Point1',
      'color': '#00FF00'
  },
  {
      'x': 1,
      'y': 5,
      'name': 'Point2',
      'color': '#CCC'
  },
  {
      'x': 2,

Generate a JSON string/byte string representation of the object compatible with the Highcharts JavaScript library.

Note

This method will either return a standard str or a bytes object depending on the JSON serialization library you are using. For example, if your environment has orjson, the result will be a bytes representation of the string.

Parameters:

filename (Path-like) – The name of a file to which the JSON string should be persisted. Defaults to None
encoding (str) – The character encoding to apply to the resulting object. Defaults to 'utf-8'.
for_export (bool) – If True, indicates that the method is being run to produce a JSON for consumption by the export server. Defaults to False.

Returns:

A JSON representation of the object compatible with the Highcharts library.

Return type:

str or bytes

static trim_dict(untrimmed: dict, to_json: bool = False, context: str = None, for_export: bool = False) → dict

Remove keys from untrimmed whose values are None and convert values that have .to_dict() methods.

Parameters:

untrimmed (dict) – The dict whose values may still be None or Python objects.
to_json (bool) – If True, will remove all keys from untrimmed that are not serializable to JSON. Defaults to False.
context (str or None) – If provided, will inform the method of the context in which it is being run which may inform special handling cases (e.g. where empty strings may be important / allowable). Defaults to None.
for_export (bool) – If True, indicates that the method is being run to produce a JSON for consumption by the export server. Defaults to False.

Returns:

Trimmed dict

Return type:

dict

static trim_iterable(untrimmed, to_json=False, context: str = None, for_export: bool = False)

Parameters:

untrimmed (iterable) – The iterable whose members may still be None or Python objects.
to_json (bool) – If True, will remove all members from untrimmed that are not serializable to JSON. Defaults to False.
context (str or None) – If provided, will inform the method of the context in which it is being run which may inform special handling cases (e.g. where empty strings may be important / allowable). Defaults to None.
for_export (bool) – If True, indicates that the method is being run to produce a JSON for consumption by the export server. Defaults to False.

Note

To have multiple data labels per data point, you can also supply a collection of DataLabel configuration settings.

Return type:: DataLabel, list of DataLabel, or None

property drilldown: str | None

The geometry associated with a data point, expressed as a GeoJSON Feature. Defaults to None.

Tip

Best practice!

To make your code easier to maintain through better separation between your visualization’s structure (e.g. the rendered map) and the data visualized within that structure, it is recommended to leave .geometry empty and to use the series’ .map_data property to define the map’s geometry.

Return type:: Feature

Note

This can be used (in JavaScript) after render time to get a pointer to the point object through chart.get().

Note

If two data labels are about to overlap, the data label for the point with the highest label_rank will be shown.

Return type:: numeric or None

property lat: int | float | Decimal | None

The latitude of the data point. Defaults to None.

Warning

Must be combined with the .lon to work as expected.

..warning:

value if set.

Return type:: numeric or None

Class Inheritance

Inheritance diagram of GeometricDataBase

copy(other=None, overwrite=True, **kwargs)

Copy the configuration settings from this instance to the other instance.

Parameters:

other (HighchartsMeta) – The target instance to which the properties of this instance should be copied. If None, will create a new instance and populate it with properties copied from self. Defaults to None.
overwrite (bool) – if True, properties in other that are already set will be overwritten by their counterparts in self. Defaults to True.
kwargs – Additional keyword arguments. Some special descendents of HighchartsMeta may have special implementations of this method which rely on additional keyword arguments.

Returns:

A mutated version of other with new property values

classmethod from_array(value)[source]

Creates a collection of data point instances, parsing the contents of value as an array (iterable). This method is specifically used to parse data that is input to Highcharts for Python without property names, in an array-organized structure as described in the Highcharts JS documentation.

See also

The specific structure of the expected array is highly dependent on the type of data point that the series needs, which itself is dependent on the series type itself.

Please review the detailed series documentation for series type-specific details of relevant array structures.

Note

An example of how this works for a simple LineSeries (which uses CartesianData data points) would be:

my_series = LineSeries()

# A simple array of numerical values which correspond to the Y value of the
# data point
my_series.data = [0, 5, 3, 5]

# An array containing 2-member arrays (corresponding to the X and Y values
# of the data point)
my_series.data = [
    [0, 0],
    [1, 5],
    [2, 3],
    [3, 5]
]

# An array of dict with named values
my_series.data = [
  {
      'x': 0,
      'y': 0,
      'name': 'Point1',
      'color': '#00FF00'
  },
  {
      'x': 1,
      'y': 5,
      'name': 'Point2',
      'color': '#CCC'
  },
  {
      'x': 2,
      'y': 3,
      'name': 'Point3',
      'color': '#999'
  },
  {
      'x': 3,
      'y': 5,
      'name': 'Point4',
      'color': '#000'
  }
]

Parameters:

value (iterable) –

The value that should contain the data which will be converted into data point instances.

Note

If value is not an iterable, it will be converted into an iterable to be further de-serialized correctly.

Returns:

Collection of data point instances (descended from DataBase)

Return type:

list of GeometricDataBase descendant instances or GeometricDataCollection
