Chart: Column

Documentation

Known bugs

If using this pattern as-is in standalone applications,Highcharts will return a console error due to multiple instances of the scripts trying to load.

There is a temporary fix in the Web Press instance that should allow the use of the chart pattern without error.

The pattern should still work outside of Web Press, albeit with errors. We are working on a solution that more effetively and efficently handles the loading of the scripts as-needed outside of Web Press.

The pattern will be marked “Under review” until a fix is applied.
