[Highcharts Column Chart](#) The following example demonstrates a stacked column chart. We have already learned the basic configuration syntax of Highcharts in previous chapters. Next, let's look at other configurations. Add the `stacking` property in `plotOptions`: * * * ## Configuration ### plotOptions: Data Point Options `plotOptions` is used to set properties related to data points in the chart. The property settings of `plotOptions` vary slightly depending on the chart type. Configure the chart stacking by setting `plotOptions.area.stacking` to `"percent"`. To disable stacking, use `null`. var plotOptions = { column: { stacking: 'normal', dataLabels: { enabled: true, color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.dataLabelsColor) || 'white', style: { textShadow: '0 0 3px black' } } }}; ### Example Filename: highcharts_column_stacked.htm $(document).ready(function() { var chart = { type: 'column' }; var title = { text: 'Stacked Column Chart' }; var xAxis = { categories: ['Apples', 'Oranges', 'Pears', 'Grapes', 'Bananas'] }; var yAxis ={ min: 0, title: { text: 'Total Fruit Consumption' }, stackLabels: { enabled: true, style: { fontWeight: 'bold', color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.textColor) || 'gray' } } }; var legend = { align: 'right', x: -30, verticalAlign: 'top', y: 25, floating: true, backgroundColor: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.background2) || 'white', borderColor: '#CCC', borderWidth: 1, shadow: false }; var tooltip = { formatter: function () { return '' + this.x + '
