How to have common options for multiple y-axes in Highcharts - highcharts

I have two y-axes in my Highcharts chart. Most of the options are the same; for those ones, do I have to copy-paste it into both array elements or is there a way to avoid that? This is the yaxis part of my code right now (a lot of repetition):
yAxis: [{
crosshair: {
color: '#FB7F1D'
},
max: 4000,
lineColor: '#767676',
gridLineColor: '#767676',
minorGridLineColor: '#767676',
minorTickColor: '#767676',
tickColor: '#767676',
labels: {
style: {
color: '#767676'
}
},
title: {
text: 'f-value',
style: {
color: '#767676'
}
}
},
//next element
{
crosshair: {
color: '#FB7F1D'
},
lineColor: '#767676',
gridLineColor: '#767676',
minorGridLineColor: '#767676',
minorTickColor: '#767676',
tickColor: '#767676',
labels: {
format: '${value}',
style: {
color: '#767676'
}
},
max: 60,
gridLineWidth: 0,
alignTicks: false,
opposite: true,
gridLineColor: '#767676',
title: {
text: 'Price',
style: {
color: '#767676'
}
}
}
],

Unfortunately doesn't provide a mechanism like plotOptions (https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/plotOptions) for axes.
You can either use the solution proposed by #ewolden in the comment below your question or set global options:
Highcharts.setOptions({
xAxis: {
title: {
enabled: true,
style: {
color: '#bada55'
}
}
}
});
Live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/bv7L4o7t/
The main disadvantage of this approach is that these options will be applied to every chart.

Highchart - colors depending on values

I want to give a color for bars depending on their values.
For example if you a bar value 5000 then the color should be Dark RED similar for 3000 less darker than 5000 bar values so on...
I want to add total space like 100TB above all bars(some text on my bar value)
`

Here is updated fiddle
You can use "Zones" in plotoptions to define a range and relevant color , as per code below :
zones: [{
value: 200,
color: '#bdbdbd'
},{
value:300,
color: '#ff0000'
},
{
value:500,
color: 'blue'
},{
value:800,
color: 'black'
}]

Highcharts multiple series and axes types overlapping

I have a problem with a highcharts graph, regarding overlapping of multiple axes.
There are 2 types of series, one type column and one type line. I want the line type to be always above the others and never intersect them.
You may see my problem here:
http://jsfiddle.net/99tC7/
Anticipated thank you for any help provided.
$('#container').highcharts({
title: {
text: 'Title',
x: -20 //center
},
xAxis: {
categories: [ "5.11.13", "6.11.13", "7.11.13", "8.11.13", "9.11.13"],
labels: {
rotation: 270
}
},
yAxis: [{
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}],
title:{
text: "Number 1"
},
},
{
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}],
title:{
text: "Number 2"
},
opposite: true,
max:50,
minPadding:5,
}],
legend: {
layout: 'horizontal',
align: 'center',
verticalAlign: 'bottom',
borderWidth: 0
},
tooltip: {

},
plotOptions: {
line: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
formatter: function() {
return this.y +'%';
}
}
},
column: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
formatter: function() {
return this.y;
}
}
}
},
series: [{
name: 'L1',
type: 'column',
color: '#FF0000',
yAxis: 0,
data: [1, 5, 9, 10, 12]
},
{
name: 'L2',
type: 'column',
color: '#00FF00',
yAxis: 0,
data: [16, 16, 106, 12, 11]
},
{
name: 'L3',
yAxis: 1,
data: [38, 24, 37, 29, 37]
}
]
});
You can try to set correct min/max values in both yAxis like here http://jsfiddle.net/99tC7/1/

Reduce gap between series data in Bar Highchart

I want to reduce space between bar chart series data. Below mentioned is the image which gives a clear picture :
Can anyone suggest the best approach to do it?

title: {
text: null
}
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
title: {
text: 'Population (millions)',
align: 'high'
},
labels: {
overflow: 'justify'
}
},
tooltip: {
valueSuffix: ' millions'
},
plotOptions: {
bar: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true
}
}
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
align: 'right',
verticalAlign: 'top',
x: -40,
y: 100,
floating: true,
borderWidth: 1,
backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF',
shadow: true
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Year 1800',
data: [107, 31, 635],
pointWidth: 22,
}, {
name: 'Year 1900',
data: [133, 156, 947],
pointWidth: 22
}]
});
});
http://jsfiddle.net/fMdk3/5/
The options you want to play with are pointPadding (padding between bars) and groupPadding (padding between seies).
e.g.
plotOptions: {
series: {
pointPadding: 0,
groupPadding: 0.1,
}
},

Dates instead of values on Highchart labels in graph with multiple axis

I've created a line and a bar graph that share the xAxis. But for some reason it chooses to display the value instead of date, even though I am supplying it the standard way.

If you added the the "type" to the xAxis definition then the x values will be interpreted as dates and times rather than decimal values
xAxis: {
type : "datetime", //add this line
gridLineWidth: 1,
labels: {
rotation: -45,
align: 'right',
style: {
fontSize: '13px',
fontFamily: 'Verdana, sans-serif'
}
}
},
you may have to fiddle with the start times and intervals to get HighChart to correctly interpret your x-values.
see this demo on the highchart website as an example. http://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/jquery/1.9.1/highslide-software/highcharts.com/tree/master/samples/highcharts/demo/line-time-series/
The reason is that you are not actually creating a Stock chart. Your code looks like:
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
If you want it to be a Stock chart do:
var chart = new Highcharts.StockChart(options);
A Chart by default is a category chart. StockChart is time-based.
You can use dateFormat to replace time in miliseconds with date.
http://jsfiddle.net/3bE4X/
formatter:function(){
return Highcharts.dateFormat('%d / %m / %Y',this.value);
}
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#Highcharts.dateFormat()

Highcharts padding for range selector when displaying last label on y axis?

When I display the last label of a yaxis, the spacing of the range selector gets crowded.
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/georgeludwig/FttkQ/7/
You can see how the "75" and "30" are kind of jammed in there.
Is there any way to get more space around the range selector? i've been messing around with various padding values, and nothing works.
code:
<code>
$(function () {
var chart = new Highcharts.StockChart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
alignTicks: false
},
yAxis: [{ // Primary yAxis
endOnTick: true,
showLastLabel: true,
title: {
text: 'Time Published',
style: {
color: '#89A54E'
}
},
gridLineWidth: 0,
opposite: true,
}, { // Secondary yAxis
showLastLabel: true,
title: {
text: '% Audience Coverage',
style: {
color: '#4572A7'
}
},
}],
series: [{
yAxis: 0,
type: "scatter",
data:[ [1142294400000,2],
[1183334400000,5],
[1199232000000,18],
[1230768000000,9],
[1262304000000,4],
[1294012800000,20],
[1325548800000,1],
[1357084800000,6] ]
}, {
yAxis: 1,
type: "areaspline",
data:[ [1142294400000,9],
[1183334400000,10],
[1199232000000,15],
[1230768000000,25],
[1262304000000,35],
[1294012800000,46],
[1325548800000,47],
[1357084800000,68] ]
}]
});
});
</code>
You can use maxPadding (http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#yAxis.maxPadding) with setting tickInterval (http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#yAxis.tickInterval)
http://jsfiddle.net/FttkQ/9/
yAxis: [{ // Primary yAxis
showLastLabel: false,
title: {
text: 'Time Published',
style: {
color: '#89A54E'
}
},
gridLineWidth: 0,
opposite: true,
tickInterval:10,
maxPadding:1
}, { // Secondary yAxis
showLastLabel: false,
maxPadding:0.2,
tickInterval:25,
title: {
text: '% Audience Coverage',
style: {
color: '#4572A7'
}
},
}],
