Changing time zone in Highchart

Question

I am plotting a chart using highcharter function. You can notice the timestamp starts from June 29th. But i when plot it , the graph shows data plotting from June 28,18.30. How do i change this time zone??

                   timestamps  x1  x2  x3  x4  x5  x6  x7  x8  x9 x10  x11     x12

    47953 2017-06-29 00:05:00 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 49.8 1216.06

library(highcharter)
highchart() %>% 
  hc_title(text = "A nice chart") %>% 
  hc_add_series_times_values(d$timestamps, 
                             d$x12, name = "x12")

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Looks like a duplicate of https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25266392/how-to-set-highchart-global-options-in-r - have you tried to change the `timezoneOffset` ? — Paweł Fus, Sep 19 '17 at 11:18
It is not clear enough how to set off UTC with highchart package. There is actually no timezoneoffset in highchart package and i even checked with R documentation. — Magg_rs, Sep 19 '17 at 12:01
In `Highcharts` it's quite clear how to disable `useUTC`, [docs with sample](http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/global). In `highcharter`, it looks like you should add your comment [to this ticket](https://github.com/jbkunst/highcharter/issues/69). It's about setting global options in Highcharter. — Paweł Fus, Sep 19 '17 at 12:24

This is how I managed to deactivate UTC in highcharter.

hcGopts <- getOption("highcharter.global")
hcGopts$useUTC <- FALSE
options(highcharter.global = hcGopts)

The global options are not directly accessible from R. From JavaScript, it would be like this:

Highcharts.setOptions({
    global: {
        useUTC: false
    }
});
