}Customization of Box and Whisker series
boxPlotMode
You can change the rendering mode of the Box and Whisker series using the boxPlotMode property. The default boxPlotMode is exclusive. The other boxPlotMode available are inclusive and normal.
To render a box and whisker chart, use seriestype as BoxAndWhisker. The field y requires n number of data or it should contain minimum of five values to plot a segment.

}Waterfall Chart
Waterfall chart helps to understand the cumulative effect of the sequentially introduced positive and negative values. To render a Waterfall series, use series type as Waterfall. intermediateSumIndexes property of waterfall is used to represent inbetween the sum values and sumIndexes is used to represent the cumulative sum values.

}Customization of Waterfall Series
The negative changes of waterfall charts is represented by using negativeFillColor and the summary changes are represented by using summaryFillColor properties.
By default, the negativeFillColor as ‘#E94649’ and the summaryFillColor as ‘#4E81BC’.

}Error Bar Chart
Error bars are graphical representations of the variability of data and used on graphs to indicate the error or uncertainty in a reported measurement. To render the error bar for the series, set visible as true in error bar object.

}Pareto chart
Pareto charts are used to find the cumulative values of data in different categories. It is a combination of Column and Line series. The initial values are represented by column chart and the cumulative values are represented by Line chart. To render a pareto chart, use series type as Pareto.
