Highcharts - Only Returning One Date on xAxis - highcharts

In my area chart I have three series which are presorted chronologically. This is what I am currently getting to display:
I'm using React which is why you see multiple renders, just ignore that. My dates that I am returning for the xAxis are in order but I'm only getting one. Why is that? Here is my code (using React Highcharts but it shouldn't matter I don't think):
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
labels: {
formatter: function() {
const dayStr = moment.unix(this.value).format('D');
const monthStr = moment.unix(this.value).format('M');
console.log(`${monthStr}/${dayStr}`, this.value);
return `${monthStr}/${dayStr}`;
},
align: 'left',
style: { "color": "#FFFFFF" }
},
title: {
text: 'Date',
style: { "color": "#FFFFFF" }
}
},
As you can see my formatter function is returning multiple dates but only one displays.

By default Highcharts algorithms decide which ticks to display (labels are drawn where the ticks are). Also some labels might be omitted when there's no enough space to place them.
Use tickPositions to force Highcharts to draw given ticks. You can also try tickPositioner to modify the ticks generated automatically.

Highcharts assign colors to series after using csvURL

I'm importing a csv file using Highcharts cvsURL for a line chart. I'm using styledMode and I defined the default colors. Highcharts is using my stylesheet. Is there an easy way to tell each series which color to use?
I have lots of lines, so highcharts cycles through its 10 default colors. I need one of the colors to only be assigned to 2 specific series though.
Here is my code so far:
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'line',
styledMode: true //this totally separates the design from the svg.
},
data: {
itemDelimiter: ',',
csvURL: 'http://deq.at.utah.gov/wp-content/themes/deq/parts/charts/Ozone-4th-Highest-8hr-Front.csv'
},
title: {
text: 'Ozone 4th Highest 8-hr Concentration Wasatch Front'
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: '(Ozone PPM)'
}
}
});
I think the API said something about assigning classes to a series. Maybe that would work because I could make custom CSS for only those series, but I can't see how to do that using csvURL.
You can define color or className for series in this way:
data: {
csvURL: '...'
},
series: [{
color: '#00c735'
}, {
color: '#c4392d'
}]

Highchart - Column chart not coming proper in export api as image

I am getting image from highchart server to add into my pdf. But when I eport an column chart the column bars are coming at below the x-axis and not on the axis itself. Below is demo url
https://jsfiddle.net/ztcv2rhj/6/
Highcharts.chart('column-container-print',{
chart: {
animation: false,
type: "column",
marginLeft: 80
},
credits:false,
title:{
text: "Top 5 Questions"
},
subtitle: false,
yAxis: {
allowDecimals: false,
min: 0,
} ,
plotOptions: {
column: {
pointPadding: 0.2,
borderWidth: 0
}
},
xAxis: {
categories: ["Are the characters clear and readable? Keyboards should be kept clean. If characters still can't be read, the keyboard may need modifying or replacing. Use a keyboard with a matt finish to reduce glare and/or reflection.","Does the keyboard tilt? Note, the tilt need not be built in.","Does the user have good keyboard technique?","Is it possible to find a comfortable keying position? Try pushing the display screen further back to create more room for the keyboard, hands and wrists. Users of thick raised keyboards may need a wrist rest.","Is the keyboard separate from the screen?"],
labels: {
rotation: -45
},
},
series: [{"name":"No","data":[1,1,1,1,1]}]
});
This issue occurs because you are providing chart.options as options to export. Instead, you should provide chart.userOptions.
Code:
var optionsStr = JSON.stringify(chart.userOptions);
var dataString = encodeURI('async=true&type=jpeg&scale=4&options=' + optionsStr);

Highstock. prevent gaps adding new line series

I want to draw a line on a ohlc chart, but i dont want the new series to introduce gaps.
The first series (ohlc) should still place the candles in an nica way with constant gaps between them regardles of open-close times (i think its only the "ordinal" value that does this, but unfortunatelly you cant specify it at series level, but only axis level).
xAxis: {
ordinal: true
},
example:
http://jsfiddle.net/5r97owky/8/
Thank you for any help
The gaps are caused by ordinal option. You can create additional xAxis for line series:
Highcharts.stockChart('container', {
chart: {
events: {
load: function() {
var xAxes = this.xAxis,
extremes = xAxes[0].getExtremes();
xAxes[1].setExtremes(extremes.min, extremes.max, true, false);
}
}
},
xAxis: [{}, {
visible: false
}],
...
});

Highcharts: Bar with negative stack - Place title text at each side

I'm wondering if it is possible to place two text titles at each side (negative/positive), centralized on each side.
I tried with this jsfiddle.
...
yAxis: [{
title: {
text: "right",
align: "right"
},
labels: {
formatter: function () {
return Math.abs(this.value) + '%';
}
}
},
{
title: {
text: "left",
align: "left"
}
}
I tried to add another yxis, but it doesn't work.
you can only set xaxis title to
"low", "middle" by default, "high"
but for multiple title ,i think its not possible via api, it depends on your axis.
like you have one xaxis and 2 yaxis,
so you can have title separatly on both yaxis but not on xaxis.
the problem is you cant get the center point (0,0), if you can get Y of this point then you can update Y for the title.

Highcharts still using percentage for y-axis compare

I'm pretty clueless at this point, on some of my charts I am giving these options:
var plotOptions, yAxis;
plotOptions = {
series: {
compare: 'value'
}
};
yAxis = {
labels: {
formatter: function() {
return this.value;
}
},
plotLines: [
{
value: 0,
width: 2,
color: 'silver'
}
]
};
And the chart still displays percentages in the y-axis, just without the % sign. I did a console.log of 'this' in the formatter tag, and the value attribute is correct (that is, returning the value instead of a percentage, but it doesn't seem to be applying it to the chart. Any thoughts?
I actually just ended up using a spline chart instead. Basically what I was trying to say was that the y-axis was displaying the same values where I used "compare: 'percentage'" or "compare: 'value'", but the spline chart seems to be rendering the labels as the actual data points (4000 as opposed to 25%).
