Class Inheritance

- copy(other=None, overwrite=True, **kwargs)
Copy the configuration settings from this instance to the
otherinstance.- Parameters:
other (
HighchartsMeta) – The target instance to which the properties of this instance should be copied. IfNone, will create a new instance and populate it with properties copied fromself. Defaults toNone.overwrite (
bool) – ifTrue, properties inotherthat are already set will be overwritten by their counterparts inself. Defaults toTrue.kwargs – Additional keyword arguments. Some special descendents of
HighchartsMetamay have special implementations of this method which rely on additional keyword arguments.
- Returns:
A mutated version of
otherwith new property values

Construct an instance of the class from a
dictobject.

Return a Python object representation of a Highcharts JavaScript object literal.
- Parameters:
as_str_or_file (
str) – The JavaScript object literal, represented either as astror as a filename which contains the JS object literal.allow_snake_case (
bool) – IfTrue, interpretssnake_casekeys as equivalent tocamelCasekeys. Defaults toTrue._break_loop_on_failure (
