highcharts y-axis title wrap - highcharts

I have a chart with varying heights based on a parameter, due to which the y-axis title gets cut off at the top when height becomes less than the title length.
The highchart api at http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/yAxis.title specifies a style property where CSS styles for the title can be given, but the javascript wordWrap:'break-word' isn't working here.
My question is - Is there any property that can wrap the title of the the y-axis in such a case ?
Note: I searched SO and found a question - Highcharts Y-axis title text length is more than chart's height, but this doesn't answer my case as I don't have a static title and cannot have a tag to force the line break.

Just add fixed width and step in the style:
title: {
enabled: true,
text: 'very long title text here that will get cut off at the top when height becomes less than the length of the title',
style: {
font: 'bold 10pt "Arial Narrow"',
color: 'rgb(0,0,0)',
wordWrap:'break-word',
// Add these
width : "200px"
}
}

highcharts range selector buttons spacing issue

I'm trying to resize the range selector. i'm able to change button sizes but they are coming close to each other. how can i increase the font size without increasing the space between buttons. Thanks in advance.
You can control the rangeSelector buttons by buttonSpacing and buttonTheme options. Setting a fixed width should be enough in your case:
rangeSelector: {
buttonSpacing: 5,
buttonTheme: {
width: 30,
style: {
fontSize: 16
}
}
}

Higcharts - marginBottom does not let rendering xAxis series ellipsis

The space for xAxis generally is rendered dynamically by the Highcharts library and add the ellipsis in the correct place, making it display from the start and cutting it when it stop displaying it on the graph with some ellipsis.
When I try to change that space to not render dynamically, the property marginBottom does it,but it stops picking up when the text should start displaying and the start of the text is cutted from the down of the graph. Is there a way to render correctly the text at the bottom from the highcharts? I Do need it to be rotate 270 degrees, and not let the auto rotate work, and don't want to collapse more part of the graph just for displaying the text.
Here is a sample when that happes:
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
height: 350,
spacingBottom: 0,
marginBottom: 50,
type: "column"
},
series: [{
name: 'Total',
data: [1,2,3,4,5]
}],
xAxis: {
categories: ["very long name to test if the characters are rigth and cropped",
"Not so long but long enough", "I still am long and out of the screen",
"lets see how is cropped", "cropped", "crop"],
labels: {
rotation: 270
}
}
});
Sample fiddle with marginBottom : https://jsfiddle.net/ragmar/6ru4hze3/
If you remove the marginBottom, even the legend move down a bit.
It is possible to do this behavior? even including some css?
Thanks in advance
To make it work the way you want, you have to make some modifications in Highcharts core. For example you can do not use marginBottom option, but set fixed value as a commonWidth variable in renderUnsquish method:
if (attr.rotation) {
commonWidth = (
maxLabelLength > chart.chartHeight * 0.5 ?
40 : // changed from 'chart.chartHeight * 0.33'
maxLabelLength
);
if (!textOverflowOption) {
commonTextOverflow = 'ellipsis';
}
}

why setting div's height and width lose bar's label in highchart?

I need to draw a bar chart and need to set width and height for the container div (as there is only that amount of space I can use)
However, when I set height and width, in some cases, highchart will not draw some of the bar labels, even though I think there are places to draw them. Can someone explain this or maybe provide a workaround (without removing height)?
The jsfiddle is http://jsfiddle.net/daxu/md2zk/68/
labels: {
style: {
color: 'black',
fontFamily: 'DINPro',
fontSize: '7.8409px',
fontWeight: 'normal'
},
formatter: function () {
return this.value;
}
}
At the beginning, remove datalabels configuration per each point and use common options. There, you can disable hiding labels by crop option.

HighCharts: Positioning label on chart agnostic of legend size

I am building a pie chart where the labels for the data points can very greatly in length, the legend is configured to be vertical and positioned on the left side.
I have added a label element to the bottom of the chart that shows the total of all data points.
The problem I am facing is that the positioning of this label (via the style element) is based on how wide the legend is, which occasionally if the legend is wide enough will be pushed off the right side of the chart.
Does anyone know of a way that I can style this label so that is positioned based solely on the width of the entire chart.
Here is the styling applied to the label (I tried adding the position value but this didn't appear to do anything):
style: {
top: '325px',
position: 'absolute',
left: '-160px',
'font-size': '175%'
}
Here is an example of the chart that I'm working with, you can see that the value for the total has bee cut off.
EDIT:
As per Sebastian's comment I was able to effectively solve the issue by using the legend label formatter to limit the length of the series names. Here is the code:
labelFormatter: function () {
var formattedName = this.name;
if (formattedName.length > 17) {
formattedName = formattedName.substr(0, 14) + '...';
}
return formattedName;
}

highstock crosshair width according to zoom

I have a highstock chart witch candlestick data type.
When I mouseover the data point, I want to highlight the background of the point.
This is what tooltip -> crosshairs do:
tooltip: {
crosshairs: true
}
But the only width option to set is the fixed width. See http://jsfiddle.net/8YBd7/.
This fixed width works with initial zoom, but when I change the zoom, the width is not updated with new point width.
When I set 100% width, the crosshair would fill entire chart area:
tooltip: {
crosshairs: {
width: '100%'
}
}
Is there another option how to highlight current data point by changing its background or setting the width to the pointPixelInterval or something else?
Meanwhile, I produced a dirty workaround, so improvements are welcomed:
xAxis: {
events: {
afterSetExtremes: function() {
this.chart.tooltip.crosshairs = [];
this.chart.options.tooltip.crosshairs.width = (this.width / (this.series[0].points.length-1));
}
}
}
http://jsfiddle.net/QbdEu/1/
Whenever the zoom is changed, the width is recounted according to chart width and number of displayed data points. The width is not updated when calling redraw(), so the old crosshair needs to be removed.
Have you tried to use Renderer http://api.highcharts.com/highstock#Renderer.rect() which allows to plot any shapes and defined width? Only what you need is getting point width in pixels frpm(chart.series[0].data[0].graphic) and then setting correct widht of "shape".
