In this chapter, we took a detailed look at column and bar charts. We learned about various configuration options to alter the look and feel of the charts and also using the Highcharts API to format certain chart elements. Introducing these basic concepts, this chapter should have given you a fairly solid base to get started with Highcharts development.

In the next chapter, you will learn about the line and spline chart types. We will begin by creating some basic charts as well as loading data from a HTML table and configuring charts with inverted axes.
