This add-on provides a Highcharts wrapper for Vaadin 7 and 8 similar to https://vaadin.com/addon/highcharts. In contrast to Vaadin Charts this add-on does not provide a fancy Java API to configure charts. Instead it basically provides a chart component with a method that allows you to set Highcharts JavaScript code to configure the chart. This is especially useful if you want to create charts based on templates. The new add-on version also allows to dynamically update the chart via the method "manipulateChart". Moreover, it allows you to listen to Highcharts events and to call user-defined server functions. For more details about how to manipulate charts and listen to events take a look at the demo and the demo source code (https://github.com/xylo/highcharts-vaadin7/blob/master/src/test/java/org/vaadin/highcharts/HighChartDemoUI.java). Note that you require a separate Highcharts license to use this add-on unless you use it only in a non-profit project. See http://shop.highsoft.com/highcharts.html for more information.
