Highcharts Solid Gauge Chart

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 a solid gauge chart using highcharts library with examples.

If you observe the above example, we created a solid gauge series chart by using highcharts library with required properties.

 

When we execute the above highcharts example, we will get the result like as shown below.
