In the previous chapters, we mostly experimented with the somewhat useful or typical examples of what we can do with Highcharts. This chapter explores some of the remaining chart types. In addition to that, we will also learn how we can integrate interesting APIs (for example, HTML5's geolocation
or localStorage
APIs) to come up with even more interesting uses of Highcharts.
For example, what if we could use Highcharts to tackle habits that we'd like to change? Such as watching our weight? Recording the changes over time and observing improvements can be incredibly motivating. Or what if we wanted to work on our typing speed and see it update in real time like the speedometer of an automobile? These are just a few of the interesting things that we can do with Highcharts. Hopefully, after reading this chapter, you'll find other inspirational uses.
