In the previous chapters, we learned how to setup highcharts library and how to create a chart with required configurations using highcharts library in our webpage. Now, we will learn how to create an area chart with inverted axes using highcharts library with examples.
Following is the example of creating an inverted axes area chart by setting the required area chart properties using highcharts library.

$(function() {
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'area',
inverted: true
},
title: {
text: 'Average fruit consumption during one week'
},
subtitle: {
style: {
position: 'absolute',
right: '0px',
bottom: '10px'
}
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
align: 'right',
verticalAlign: 'top',
x: -150,
y: 100,
floating: true,
borderWidth: 1,
backgroundColor: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.legendBackgroundColor) || '#FFFFFF'
},
xAxis: {
categories: [
'Monday',
'Tuesday',
'Wednesday',
'Thursday',
'Friday',
'Saturday',
'Sunday'
]
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Number of units'
},
allowDecimals: false,
min: 0
},
plotOptions: {
area: {
fillOpacity: 0.5
}
},
series: [{
name: 'John',
data: [3, 4, 3, 5, 4, 10, 12]
}, {
name: 'Jane',
data: [1, 3, 4, 3, 3, 5, 4]
}]
});
});

<div id="container" style="width: 100%; height: 400px;"> </div>

If you observe the above example, we created an inverted axes area chart using highcharts library with required properties.
When we execute the above highcharts example, we will get the result like as shown below.
This is how we can create an inverted axes area chart using highcharts library with required properties.
