What a Highcharts 3D chart is and isn't
At the time of writing, the 3D chart feature is to display the 2D charts in a real 3D presentation, that is, we can rotate and tilt the charts in different dimensions and adjust the view distance. The 3D feature is currently only available for the column, pie, and scatter series.
What 3D charts cannot do is to construct a real three dimensional, x, y, and z axes chart, except for the scatter plot; we will even see some shortcomings in the scatter plot later. As this is the first major release of 3D charts, this limitation may be short lived.
