how to change local functions of highcharts

Question

Highcharts.numberFormat is a pointer to a local function in the Highcharts closure. Highcharts uses the local function internally. how someone can change this (or any other local function inside closure such as dateFormat, etc.) outside of original source as a plugin or something?

Answer 1

I assume your question is to change the internal function's behavior within the closure.

As far as I've understand the src of the highcharts, there is no way to change the internal functions defined inside the closure, unless you edit the source file (I'd not recommend this at all).

The principal behind this is, the library itself uses those functions for internal purposes, therefore change in such functions will lead to undesired behavior of the library.

Hopefully, I'm making sense.
