I'm using highcharts to plot out a line graph of quite a few sections. I want the legend to be static at the bottom of the graph area. The height of the graph area can be fixed but the legends can change dynamically.
I'm using the below options in for legend object
legend: {
useHTML: true,
enabled: true,
reversed: false,
verticalAlign: 'bottom',
floating: true,
align: 'center',
padding: 10,
margin: 20,
itemDistance: 10,
itemStyle: {
'font-size': '14px',
'color': colors.greyDark,
'font-family': fonts.proximaNovaBold,
'letter-spacing': '0',
'line-height': '17px',
'text-align': 'center',
},
itemMarginBottom: 10,
x: 0,
y: 100
},
I have replicated it in the fiddle
https://jsfiddle.net/x496tLmf/1/
Is there any way to fix this and have the legends stuck to the bottom. All of them need to display as the graph will be exported as static image.
There are two main issues why the legend overlaps the chart:
When you manually set the chart margin, the chart won't reserve space for the legend.
When you enable the legend floating option, you explicitly allow legend for overlapping
API: https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/legend.floating
The solution here is to remove the properties mentioned before and let the chart calculate the position of the legend.
However when you want to export this chart as a static image with all the legend items you have to specify the size of each element together with some overflow style to cut them a bit.
You might also reduce the spacing in between them, to increase the chart area.
legend: {
useHTML: true,
enabled: true,
reversed: false,
itemWidth:120,
itemStyle: {
'font-size': '14px',
'color': colors.greyDark,
'font-family': fonts.proximaNovaBold,
'letter-spacing': '0',
'line-height': '17px',
'text-align': 'center',
"textOverflow": "ellipsis"
},
},

I am new to highcharts. Is there anyway I can achieve kind of chart functionality using highcharts in which series label are on top and y axis is drawn vertically as shown in this image
Chart
You just can build a chart with multiple y-axes and enabled inverted option:
chart: {
inverted: true
},
yAxis: [{
opposite: true,
width: '40%'
}, {
offset: 0,
opposite: true,
width: '50%',
left: '50%'
}]
Live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/4eow5np2/
API Reference: https://api.highcharts.com/highstock/chart.inverted
I have some highstock chart series with multiple yAxis. When I used resize enabled to true, a resizer comes and it resizes the chart as well. I want only one resizer at the bottom of 3 series which resizes the previous axis also. I think my top property in yAxis is preventing the charts from going above another axis. Please help.
I tried controlled axis previous property. which dint work
yAxis: [{
labels: {
align: 'right',
x: -3
},
height: '65%',
lineWidth: 2,
id:'cdStick'
}
, {
labels: {
align: 'right',
x: -3
},
top: '65%',
height: '35%',
lineWidth: 2,
offset: 0,
id:'vol'
resize: {
enabled: true,
controlledAxis: {
prev: ['cdStick']
}
}
}]
I want to be able to increase/decrease the gap between legends split into 2 cols.
ex:
my legend is defined as follows:
legend: {
align: 'right',
itemMarginBottom: 8,
labelFormatter: function() {//some func},
itemWidth: 290,
verticalAlign: 'top',
useHTML: true,
x: 95,
y:80
}
is there any marginLeft/Right props to do so?
Thanks
See legend.itemDistance property.
itemDistance: Number
In a legend with horizontal layout, the itemDistance defines the pixel distance between each item. Defaults to 20.
ref: http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/legend.itemDistance
As you can see in the jsfiddle example, the legend symbol is not aligned with the legend text.
Is there a way to set some padding or margin so the text can be vertically aligned to top or something?
http://jsfiddle.net/daxu/md2zk/62/
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
itemMarginTop: 20,
symbolHeight: 5,
symbolWidth:5,
itemStyle: {
color: 'black',
fontFamily: 'DINPro',
fontSize: '7.8409px',
fontWeight: 'normal',
display:'inline-block',
verticalalign:'top'
},
align: 'right',
verticalAlign: 'middle',
floating: false,
x: 0,
y: 0
},
You have to set both legend: {useHTML:true, itemStyle: {lineHeight:"10px"}}
The lineHeight will change the text alignment to what you need. it worked in my case for horizontal legend.
See http://jsfiddle.net/md2zk/176/
Set useHTML flag as true in the legend.

I'm trying to align a legend at the bottom right in highstock. It used to work until I was forced to upgrade to highstock 1.3.4.
The problem is that now the navigator is covering the legend. This is not ideal:
http://jsfiddle.net/sy8dE/
I'm aligning the legend as follows:
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts('StockChart', {
chart: {
},
legend: {
enabled: true,
floating: true,
verticalAlign: 'bottom',
align: 'right'
},
rangeSelector: {
selected: 1
},
series: [{
name: 'USD to EUR',
data: usdeur
}]
});
});
How can I get the navigator to NOT cover the legend?
In addition to specifying the alignment of the legend, you can also offset it using x and y offsets. For instance, in your case you could move it down a bit like this:
legend: {
enabled: true,
floating: true,
verticalAlign: 'bottom',
align:'right',
y:40
},
