Details

In Highmaps, the axis is hidden, but it is used behind the scenes to control features like zooming and panning. Zooming is in effect the same as setting the extremes of one of the exes.

highchart() |>
  hc_add_series(
    data = c(7.0, 6.9, 9.5, 14.5, 18.2, 21.5, 25.2, 26.5, 23.3, 18.3, 13.9, 9.6),
