I have a map I created using the Highcharts map module. I am trying to make it so that when you select a point, it changes color and then returns to its original color when no longer selected. Despite following the API documentation (https://api.highcharts.com/highmaps/plotOptions.series.states.select.color) I can only get the point to change to the default select settings - grey fill with a black border.
This is the code for the chart:
(async () => { const topology = await fetch('https://code.highcharts.com/mapdata/custom/europe.topo.json' ).then(response => response.json()); Highcharts.mapChart('container', { chart: { map: topology, margin: 0, backgroundColor: '#fff' }, title: { text: '' }, tooltip: { headerFormat: '', pointFormat: '{point.name}', backgroundColor: '#333', borderColor: '#333', borderRadius: 0, shadow: false, shape: 'rect', padding: 8, style: { fontSize: '1em', fontWeight: 'normal', color: '#fff' }, }, legend: { enabled: false, }, plotOptions: { mappoint: { allowPointSelect: true, states: { select: { color: 'red' } }, dataLabels: { enabled: false } } }, mapView: { projection: { name: 'WebMercator' }, zoom: 5.1, center: [4, 52] }, series: [{ name: 'Basemap', borderColor: '#d3d3d3', borderWidth: 1, nullColor: '#fff', }, { type: 'mappoint', marker: { symbol: 'circ', radius: 6, }, name: 'P', cursor: 'pointer', data: [{ name: 'P1', lat: 49.214439, lon: -2.131250, },{ name: 'P2', lat: 51.4811, lon: -0.6248, },{ name: 'P3', lat: 50.7932, lon: -1.8843, },{ name: 'Winchcombe Place Care Home', lat: 51.4090, lon: -1.3215, },{ name: 'P4', lat: 53.9320, lon: -1.0694, }], },{ type: 'mappoint', marker: { symbol: 'circ', radius: 6, }, name: 'S', cursor: 'pointer', data: [{ name: 'S1', lat: 56.2639, lon: 9.5018, },{ name: 'S2', lat: 51.2977, lon: -0.3079, },{ name: 'S3', lat: 51.3725, lon: -0.4635, }], }] });})();
I have tried changing the state in the individual series' sections and also using a point event instead, but no matter what happens, the point always changes to grey with a black border on the first click. I even asked the Highcharts GPT tool and the corrected code it gave me produced exactly the same results. What am I missing?
