Released: Mar 17, 2026

Updates in 5.16.2

Features

• Added syncZeros to ValueAxis. It will only work if syncWithAxis is set and zero is within min/max of axis.
• Exposing standalone functions via index/am5: populateString(), getTagValue(), getCustomDataValue().
• Added nodeSeparation setting to Tree.
  • Now allows custom separation function between nodes, receiving two data items and returning a numeric value.
• Added setFlatData() method to Hierarchy.
  • Now accepts flat array data with parent ID references and converts it to nested hierarchy format. Works with new parentIdField setting.
• Added clustered setting to Tree.
  • When set to true, uses cluster layout (dendrogram) where all leaf nodes are placed at the same depth.

Fixes

• minBulletDistance was not showing/hiding bullets if set dynamically after series was already initialized.
• Axis syncing algorithm fixed, performance of syncing improved.
• Tree and ForceDirected charts with very deep structures were having performance issues.
