How to correctly utilize the timezone option

Hi,

Long story short:
I want to show the dates in the x-axis based on my customer timzeone which is coming from the server i.e 'Asia/Calcutta' ..etc
I have set useUTC to false and provided the timezone like this:

Code: Select all

time:{
  useUTC: false,
  timezone: 'Asia/Calcutta',
},

gantt-local-timezone-2.PNG (19.19 KiB) Viewed 4790 times
Yet, I see Highchart is handling the DST transition and I can see 1 hour is missing from the x-axis because of my own time zone which is "Europe/London".

Note; There's no DST in use in 'Asia/Calcutta' timezone

But that will start using the UTC and ignores the provided time zone.

No, timezone stays (getTime takes time in UTC, and timezone translate it to actual timezone). On your jsfiddle when you comment timezone you have chart between 2200 and 0115, and after adding timezone (without useUTC: false) you have chart between 0330 and 0645 (or something like that :) ) )
