Backend API
$(() => { const chart = $('#chart').dxChart({ dataSource, rotated: true, commonSeriesSettings: { argumentField: 'breed', type: 'bar', }, series: { valueField: 'count', name: 'breeds', color: '#a3d6d2', selectionStyle: { color: '#ec2e7a', hatching: { direction: 'none' }, }, }, title: { text: 'Most Popular US Cat Breeds', }, legend: { visible: false, }, export: { enabled: true, }, onPointClick(e) { const point = e.target; if (point.isSelected()) { point.clearSelection(); } else { point.select(); } }, }).dxChart('instance'); chart.getSeriesByPos(0).getPointsByArg('Siamese')[0].select(); });
