Highcharts Guide

The M Chart Highcharts Library plugin extends M Chart to support Highcharts as the charting library.

Deprecated

The M Chart Highcharts Library is deprecated and will not receive further updates. The M Chart implementation of Chart.js now matches Highcharts feature-for-feature, supports additional chart types, works with M Chart Pro, is more performant, and isn't burdened by expensive commercial licensing requirements. See Migrating Highcharts Charts to Chart.js.

Highcharts License

Highcharts requires a commercial license for most websites. Review Highcharts licensing before using it in production.

Setup

  1. Install and activate the M Chart Highcharts Library plugin
  2. Go to Charts → Settings and select Highcharts as the active library

The plugin bundles Highcharts 10.0.0 and requires M Chart 2.0 or later.
