In this chapter, we will introduce the Highcharts scatter plot. We have already learned about the Highcharts configuration syntax in previous chapters. Next, let's look at other Highcharts configurations. * * * ## Configuration ### chart Configuration Configure the chart's type as 'scatter'. chart.type describes the chart type. The default value is "line". The chart.zoomType property configures chart zooming. You can zoom by dragging the mouse along the x-axis or y-axis. It can be set to: 'x', 'y', 'xy'. var chart = { type: 'scatter', zoomType: 'xy'}; ### Example Filename: highcharts_scatter_basic.htm $(document).ready(function() { var chart = { type: 'scatter', zoomType: 'xy' }; var title = { text: 'Height Versus Weight of 507 Individuals by Gender' }; var subtitle = { text: 'Source: Heinz 2003' }; var xAxis = { title: { enabled: true, text: 'Height (cm)' }, startOnTick: true, endOnTick: true, showLastLabel: true }; var yAxis = { title: { text: 'Weight (kg)' } }; var legend = { layout: 'vertical', align: 'left', verticalAlign: 'top', x: 100, y: 70, floating: true, backgroundColor: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.legendBackgroundColor) || '#FFFFFF', borderWidth: 1 } var plotOptions = { scatter: { marker: { radius: 5, states: { hover: { enabled: true, lineColor: 'rgb(100,100,100)' } } }, states: { hover: { marker: { enabled: false } } }, tooltip: { headerFormat: '{series.name}
', pointFormat: '{point.x} cm, {point.y} kg' } } }; var series= [{ name: 'Female', color: 'rgba(223, 83, 83, .5)', data: [[161.2, 51.6], [167.5, 59.0], [159.5, 49.2], [157.0, 63.0], [155.8, 53.6],
