Return type:: HighchartsMeta

get(k[, d]) → D[k] if k in D, else d. d defaults to None.

items() → a set-like object providing a view on D's items

keys() → a set-like object providing a view on D's keys

pop(k[, d]) → v, remove specified key and return the corresponding value.: If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised.

popitem() → (k, v), remove and return some (key, value) pair: as a 2-tuple; but raise KeyError if D is empty.

setdefault(k[, d]) → D.get(k,d), also set D[k]=d if k not in D

to_dict()

Generate a dict representation of the object compatible with the Highcharts JavaScript library.

Note

The dict representation has a property structure and naming convention that is intentionally consistent with the Highcharts JavaScript library. This is not Pythonic, but it makes managing the interplay between the two languages much, much simpler.

Returns:: A dict representation of the object.
Return type:: dict

to_js_literal(filename=None, encoding='utf-8', careful_validation=False) → str | None

Return the object represented as a str containing the JavaScript object literal.

Parameters:

filename (Path-like) – The name of a file to which the JavaScript object literal should be persisted. Defaults to None
encoding (str) – The character encoding to apply to the resulting object. Defaults to 'utf-8'.
careful_validation – if True, will carefully validate JavaScript values

along the way using the esprima-python library. Defaults to False.

Warning

Setting this value to True will significantly degrade serialization performance, though it may prove useful for debugging purposes.

Return type:: str or None

to_json(filename=None, encoding='utf-8', for_export: bool = False)

Generate a JSON string/byte string representation of the object compatible with the Highcharts JavaScript library.

Note

This method will either return a standard str or a bytes object depending on the JSON serialization library you are using. For example, if your environment has orjson, the result will be a bytes representation of the string.

Parameters:

filename (Path-like) – The name of a file to which the JSON string should be persisted. Defaults to None
encoding (str) – The character encoding to apply to the resulting object. Defaults to 'utf8'.
for_export (bool) – If True, indicates that the method is being run to produce a JSON for consumption by the export server. Defaults to False.

Returns:

A JSON representation of the object compatible with the Highcharts library.

Return type:

str or bytes

static trim_dict(untrimmed: dict, to_json: bool = False, context: str = None, for_export: bool = False) → dict

Remove keys from untrimmed whose values are None and convert values that have .to_dict() methods.

Parameters:

untrimmed (dict) – The dict whose values may still be None or Python objects.
to_json (bool) – If True, will remove all keys from untrimmed that are not serializable to JSON. Defaults to False.
context (str or None) – If provided, will inform the method of the context in which it is being run which may inform special handling cases (e.g. where empty strings may be important / allowable). Defaults to None.
for_export (bool) – If True, indicates that the method is being run to produce a JSON for consumption by the export server. Defaults to False.

Returns:

Trimmed dict

Return type:

dict

static trim_iterable(untrimmed, to_json=False, context: str = None, for_export: bool = False)

Convert any EnforcedNullType values in untrimmed to 'null'.

Parameters:

untrimmed (iterable) – The iterable whose members may still be None or Python objects.
to_json (bool) – If True, will remove all members from untrimmed that are not serializable to JSON. Defaults to False.
context (str or None) – If provided, will inform the method of the context in which it is being run which may inform special handling cases (e.g. where empty strings may be important / allowable). Defaults to None.
for_export (bool) – If True, indicates that the method is being run to produce a JSON for consumption by the export server. Defaults to False.

Return type:

iterable

update([E, ]**F) → None. Update D from mapping/iterable E and F.: If E present and has a .keys() method, does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] If E present and lacks .keys() method, does: for (k, v) in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k, v in F.items(): D[k] = v

values() → an object providing a view on D's values

property fill: str | Gradient | Pattern | None

The color of the button’s fill. The default fill exists only to capture hover events.

Return type:: str (for colors), Gradient for gradients, Pattern for pattern definitions, or None

property padding: int | float | Decimal | None

Padding for the button. Defaults to 5.

Return type:: numeric

property states: States | None

States to apply to the button. Defaults to None.

Return type:: States or None

property stroke: str | None

The color of the button’s stroke. Defaults to 'none'.
