how to resolve overlapping labels on x-axis (highcharts) - highcharts

I am using the highcharts library.
I have set the xaxis as a datetime axis.
I am in a situation where the ticks on x-axis are overlapping.
http://jsfiddle.net/owge98Lm/
Setting "tickPixelInterval" didn't help:
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
labels: { rotation: 45 },
tickPixelInterval: 50
},
Any suggestions ?

Highcharts: align markers with xAxis

I have a type area chart, with minor grid lines and a datetime xAxis. data is feed through an array of y values, and I got to render xAxis labels depending on the data length successfully.
My issues are:
the chart has a unwanted padding on the X axis
the markers don't align with their labels
Check it:
Here's a working fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/fernandaparisi/e07q32ay/53/
I noticed that if I remove all the max, min, tickInterval, pointStart and pointInterval properties the markers are aligned correctly, but the chart doesn't expand its full available width.
margin and spacing chart properties seem to affect the chart as a whole, and not the plotted area.
Any thoughts?
The padding is caused by combined tickInterval and endOnTick: true, to remove it just disable endOnTick.
To position the labels in a different way use align, x and y properties.
xAxis: {
labels: {
align: 'center',
y: 30,
formatter: function() {
return Highcharts.dateFormat('%e %b', this.value);
},
rotation: -45
},
title: undefined,
type: 'datetime',
min: lastSunday - (weekLength * (data.length - 1)),
max: lastSunday,
tickInterval: weekLength,
endOnTick: false,
minorTickInterval: weekLength
}

Highcharts x axis dates displayed slanting

Im using Highcharts to generate a line chart. On my x-axis, I use dates and its all displaying but for some reason its displaying slanting.
How can I fix it? Here is my x-axis properties.
xAxis: {
categories: report_2_weekly_categories,
tickInterval: 180,
labels:{
format : '{value} CST'
}
},

How to create chart with highchart in which bar doesn't start from 0 in y axis?

I'm working with this chart, and the thing I'm trying to create is that for example "Apples" bar does not start from 0 on y axis. Instead of that, I want it to start from from example 25%, and to end in 75% (so that bar in chart (its height) is from 25 to 75, when you look at values in y-axis). Does anyone have an idea of how to do that? What to change?
You can use the column range chart type. See this official demonstration.
Here is a sample of your apples (JSFiddle):
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'columnrange'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Apples']
},
yAxis: [{
min: 0,
max: 100
}],
series: [{
data: [
[25, 75],
]
}]
});

High charts not displaying date correctly in x axis per epoch?

Two Part Q:
Why is high charts not correctly aligning and displaying the following date on the x axis?
How can I align the date on the x axis with the points in each series?
I have tried adjusting to tickinterval to various values but to no avail on either issue.
tickPixelInterval: 200
Fiddle->http://jsfiddle.net/EwpWh/
Use datetime axis instead of linear, see: http://jsfiddle.net/Fusher/EwpWh/5/
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
labels: {
formatter: function () {
return Highcharts.dateFormat('%m/%d', this.value);
}
},
tickPixelInterval: 200
},
However if you want to have ticks exactly in the same place as points are, you need to use one of:
tickPositions: http://api.highcharts.com/highstock#xAxis.tickPositions
tickPositioner: http://api.highcharts.com/highstock#xAxis.tickPositioner

Highcharts with inverted y-axis, but not inverted data?

Is it possible to invert the y-axis, but not the data? I have a ranking which should start with 1 at the top, not at the bottom, but the columns should stay just normal.
Thanks for any hints!
You can use reversed yAxis, and column series, where each point will have y and low values, where low values are the same as the lowest number. See: http://jsfiddle.net/JVNjs/303/
var max = 10;
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container'
},
title: {
text: 'Chart Title'
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
max: max,
tickInterval: 2,
reversed: true
},
series: [{
type: 'column',
data: [{
y: 1,
low: max
}, {
y: 3,
low: max
}, {
y: 6,
low: max
}]
}]
There is no good easy direct way to do it (afaik).
There are a variety of approaches you could take, however.
This example uses a reversed axis and stacked columns:
http://jsfiddle.net/jlbriggs/JVNjs/301/
stacking:'normal',
It relies on adding a second series that is the difference between your value and the max, which means you must also specify a y axis max.
I left the second series a light grey so you can see them, but you can set their opacity to 0 so that they are invisible.
Other options might include doing some calculations on the y axis label formatter to display the axis labels as you want without having to touch the data.
Highcharts provides an option for this called reversed setting it true will do the work for you.
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#yAxis.reversed
reversed: true
here is the jsfiddle
