Highcharts/12 hover label highlight

I suspect that having a seperate variable outside of the chart to hold the highlighted category, might not be ideal

• Is there a way to keep a variable for the highlighted category internally? I tried setting a variable in the load-event, and while it was visible from the formatter-callback-func, its data was not as easy to update using the mouseOut/mouseOver-functions
• If you guys want me to use no custom variables, may i use a series for holding the category-data instead of using the categories-object?

Feel free to tell me no x)! I realize i could flag points as selected in the mouseOver/mouseOut-callbacks, and i suspect that using that there is a way ;)

Overall the task is done correctly. I really like your solution because it's short, efficient and you're using highcharts functions. However, it has one drawback that I wrote down below. Please take a look. :)

Besides that you can only remove some unnecessary code like removing the titles of the chart, axes, etc, the categories should also be 'Jan, Feb...' not years, but that's of course not the case with this task.

Hey, K009!

I looked closer at the redraw-function and realized i could disable animation only for the single redraw-call instead of disabling animation in general for the whole chart x)

EDIT: Oh, and sorry, I will fix the category-text and stuff as well to fit the screenshot provided!

• Months now instead of years
• titles are default as in the screenshot
• series have the city-names now :)
