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:

A mutated version of other with new property values

classmethod from_array(value)

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:

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.

Collection of data point instances (descended from DataBase)

Return type:

list of DataBase descendant instances

Return type:: list of str

populate_from_array(value)

Update the data point’s properties with values provided by an array (iterable).

This method is 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_data_point = CartesianData()

# A simple array of numerical values which correspond to the Y value of the
# data point
my_data_point.populate_from_array([0, 0])
my_data_point.populate_from_array([1, 5])
my_data_point.populate_from_array([2, 3])
my_data_point.populate_from_array([3, 5])

Parameters:

value (iterable) –

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

Note

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

to_array(force_object=False) → List | Dict

careful_validation – if True, will carefully validate JavaScript values

along the way using the esprima-python library. Defaults to False.

Warning

Setting this value to True will significantly degrade serialization performance, though it may prove useful for debugging purposes.

Return type:: str or None

to_json(filename=None, encoding='utf-8')

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.

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.

Return type:

iterable

property events: PointEvents | None

Event handlers for individual data points.

Return type:: PointEvents or None

Return type:: bool

property selected: bool | None

If True, indicates that the data point is initially selected. Defaults to None, which behaves as False.

Return type:: bool or None

The weight decides the relative size of a word compared to the rest of the collection.

Return type:: numeric or None

class: `WordcloudDataCollection`

class WordcloudDataCollection(**kwargs)[source]

A collection of WordcloudData objects.

Note

When serializing to JS literals, if possible, the collection is serialized to a primitive array to boost performance within Python and JavaScript. However, this may not always be possible if data points have non-array-compliant properties configured (e.g. adjusting their style, names, identifiers, etc.). If serializing to a primitive array is not possible, the results are serialized as JS literal objects.

to_array(force_object=False, force_ndarray=False) → List

Generate the array representation of the data points (the inversion of .from_array()).

Parameters:

force_object (bool) –
if True, forces the return of the instance’s untrimmed dict representation. Defaults to False.
