Jump Line charts in High Charts

Question

I am using high charts https://www.highcharts.com/ for making a combination chart of Jump line and Column chart. High charts do not have such type for jump line charts . Can anyone have better solution? How can I integrate jump line chart with column chart using high charts ?

This is what I need to make ...

Combo Chart

Here's the code I am using

Highcharts.chart("container", {
  title: {
    text: "Combination chart"
  },


  plotOptions: {
    column: {
      borderRadius: 5
    },
    series: {
            marker: {
                enabled: false
            }
        }
  },
  xAxis: {
    categories: ["PU", "EK", "EY", "BR", "MS", "DL", "JL", "BA", "NZ", "CV"]
  },
  labels: {
    items: [
      {
        // html: 'Total fruit consumption',
        style: {
          left: "50px",
          top: "18px",
          color:
            // theme
            (Highcharts.defaultOptions.title.style &&
              Highcharts.defaultOptions.title.style.color) ||
            "black"
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  series: [
    {
      // max:0,
      pointWidth: 7,
      type: "column",
      name: "TP",
      lineWidth: 8,
      data: [10, 45, 15, 95, 10, 100, 75, 20, 66, 55]
    },
    {

      pointWidth: 7,
      data: [13, 25, 50, 75, 100, 60, 25, 50, 75, 100],
      // yAxis: 1
    },
    {

      name: "1A",
      pointWidth: 7,
      data: [13, 20, 50, 75, 100, 40, 28, 51, 95, 100],

        lineColor: Highcharts.getOptions().colors[1],
        fillColor: "lightblue"
      }
    },
    {

Answer 1

There is no a series in Highcharts which perfectly meets your requirements in this case, but you can easily create such. It is enough to slightly modify the column series:

(function(H) {
    H.seriesType('jump-line', 'column', {
        height: 6
    }, {
        translate: function() {
            H.seriesTypes.column.prototype.translate.apply(this);

            this.points.forEach(function(point) {
                point.shapeArgs.height = this.options.height;
            }, this);
        }
    });
}(Highcharts));

Highcharts.chart('container', {
    ...,
    series: [..., {
        type: 'jump-line',
        pointPadding: 0,
        grouping: false,
        data: [4, 4, 4]
    }]
});
