Highcharts's onReady event?

Question

Is there any onReady (or similar) ready event for HighCharts?

Currently, HighCharts only offers addSeries, click, load

Answer 1

Indeed the delayed call is not a very good approach. The load event is working properly, but the current chart is referred by the this keyword, i.e.

// create the chart
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
    chart: {
        renderTo: 'container',
        events: {
            load: function(event) {
                //When is chart ready?
                console.log(this); //this refers to the loaded chart.
            }
        }        
    },
    xAxis: {
    },

    series: [{
        animation: false,
        data: [29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2, 144.0, 176.0, 135.6, 148.5, 216.4, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4]     
    }]
});

Demo

Hope this helps :)
