.scrollable_plot_area

class: ScrollablePlotArea

class ScrollablePlotArea(**kwargs)[source]

Configuration settings to make the plot area scrollable.

This feature provides a minimum size for the plot area of the chart. If the size gets smaller than this, typically on mobile devices, a native browser scrollbar is presented. This scrollbar provides smooth scrolling for the contents of the plot area, whereas the title, legend and unaffected axes are fixed.

Hint

Since v7.1.2, a scrollable plot area can be defined for either horizontal or vertical scrolling, depending on whether the minimum_width or minimum_height options are set.

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_dict(as_dict: dict, allow_snake_case: bool = True)

Construct an instance of the class from a dict object.

Parameters:

  • as_dict (dict) – A dict representation of the object.

  • allow_snake_case (bool) – If True, interprets snake_case keys as equivalent to camelCase keys. Defaults to True.

Returns:

A Python object representation of as_dict.

Return type:

HighchartsMeta

classmethod from_js_literal(as_str_or_file, allow_snake_case: bool = True, _break_loop_on_failure: bool = False)

Return a Python object representation of a Highcharts JavaScript object literal.

Parameters:

  • as_str_or_file (str) – The JavaScript object literal, represented either as a str or as a filename which contains the JS object literal.

  • allow_snake_case (bool) – If True, interprets snake_case keys as equivalent to camelCase keys. Defaults to True.

  • _break_loop_on_failure (bool) – If True, will break any looping operations in the event of a failure. Otherwise, will attempt to repair the failure. Defaults to False.

Returns:

A Python object representation of the Highcharts JavaScript object literal.

Return type:

HighchartsMeta

classmethod from_json(as_json_or_file, allow_snake_case: bool = True)

Construct an instance of the class from a JSON string.

Parameters:

  • as_json_or_file – The JSON string for the object or the filename of a file that contains the JSON string.

  • allow_snake_case (bool) – If True, interprets snake_case keys as equivalent to camelCase keys. Defaults to True.

Returns:

A Python objcet representation of as_json.

Return type:

HighchartsMeta

to_dict() → dict

Generate a dict representation of the object compatible with the Highcharts JavaScript library.

Note

The dict representation has a property structure and naming convention that is intentionally consistent with the Highcharts JavaScript library. This is not Pythonic, but it makes managing the interplay between the two languages much, much simpler.

Returns:

A dict representation of the object.

Return type:

dict

to_js_literal(filename=None, encoding='utf-8') → str | None

Return the object represented as a str containing the JavaScript object literal.

Parameters:

  • filename (Path-like) – The name of a file to which the JavaScript object literal should be persisted. Defaults to None

  • encoding (str) – The character encoding to apply to the resulting object. Defaults to 'utf-8'.

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.

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'.

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) → 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.

Returns:

Trimmed dict

Return type:

dict

static trim_iterable(untrimmed, to_json=False)

Convert any EnforcedNullType values in untrimmed to 'null'.

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.

Return type:

iterable

property minimum_height: int | float | Decimal | None

The minimum height for the plot area expressed in pixels. If it gets smaller than this, the plot area will become scrollable.

Return type:

numeric

property minimum_width: int | float | Decimal | None

The minimum width for the plot area expressed in pixels. If it gets smaller than this, the plot area will become scrollable.

Return type:

numeric

property opacity: float | None

The opacity of the mask applied on one of the sides of the plot area, expressed as a value between 0 and 1. Defaults to 0.85.

Return type:

float or None

property scroll_position_x: float | None

The initial scrolling position of the scrollable plot area along the horizontal axis. Ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 aligns the plot area to the left and 1 aligns it to the right.

Hint

Typically, we would use a value of 1 if the chart has right aligned Y axes.

Return type:

numeric or None

property scroll_position_y: float | None

The initial scrolling position of the scrollable plot area along the vertical axis. Ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 aligns the plot area to the top and 1 aligns it to the bottom.

Hint

Typically, we would use a value of 1 if the chart has right aligned Y axes.

Return type:

numeric or None
