I would like to know if it is possible to programatically highlight the marker on a plot.
I have a line graph and a separate data grid.
Clicking a marker within the line chart will highlight the relevant row in the data grid, and clicking a row in the data grid will highlight the relevant marker in the line chart.
In the example below I can do the first requirement. $('#chartdiv').bind('jqplotDataClick', function (ev, seriesIndex, pointIndex, data) returns the data point which I can use to find the relevant data grid row.
But I'm stuck on the reverse.
In my example I have replaced the datagrid with a button for simplicity.
Is there a SetSelectedMarker or some similar method I don't know?

Thanks for any help
I have come up with some answer. I think @Mark might know a better option if he knows how to popup the highlighter. Since I know how to get appropriate position that you are after, just I am not sure how to call the highlighter then to paint at this coordinates.
I am simply getting the coordinates of the grid in pixels. Then grabbing highlight canvas and painting a circle there, beforehand always calling replot() to have a fresh plot.
Try using the button few times to see how it goes over every point of the data.
If you know guys how to improve it, for example, how to avoid reploting each time, then please do let me know.
you could just implement the draw function that is used in the highlight plugin as shown here. Another option could be to change the plugin itself and create a new event or expose the draw function etc.
The highlighted marker will change as soon as you move your mouse over another marker in the line chart, but this is to be expected.
It would be nice to have the tooltip shown when the marker is set to highlighted.
function DoSomeThing(plot) {
var hl = plot.plugins.highlighter;
var s = plot.series[0];
var smr = s.markerRenderer;
var mr = hl.markerRenderer;
mr.style = smr.style;
mr.lineWidth = smr.lineWidth + hl.lineWidthAdjust;
mr.size = smr.size + hl.sizeAdjust;
var rgba = $.jqplot.getColorComponents(smr.color);
var newrgb = [rgba[0], rgba[1], rgba[2]];
var alpha = (rgba[3] >= 0.6) ? rgba[3]*0.6 : rgba[3]*(2-rgba[3]);
mr.color = 'rgba('+newrgb[0]+','+newrgb[1]+','+newrgb[2]+','+alpha+')';
mr.init();
mr.draw(s.gridData[3][0], s.gridData[3][1], hl.highlightCanvas._ctx);
}
If you want to change the color try modifying your options string with new series colors, because that function only returns the clicked point. But you have to change the color manually by yourself.
