How to update Highcharts combination chart based on hover event

Question

I am using a Highchart similar to http://www.highcharts.com/demo/combo.

I would like to update the data in the pie chart in a combination chart when a column series from the column chart is hovered over.

Is there a way to do that? I haven't found the documentation on highcharts events that might help.

Answer 1

The data points in your series can have a mouseOver event handler attached to them. This handler can then update tHe series data in the pie.

Series.data.events

This is the example of using the mouseOver event:

In the event handler, you need to set the series data for the pie.
