Using Highstock or Highcharts, I want my yAxis label on the top. What I don't want, is a varying margin between the left border of the chart and the beginning of the grid lines.
If you take a look at the following fiddle:
JSFiddle
Relevant part is:
yAxis: {
title: {
align: 'high',
offset: 0,
text: 'Rainfall (mm)',
rotation: 0,
y: -10
}
}
This is almost correct, but the offset margin is taken from the label width. If I set offset: -41 instead, it looks exactly right. The problem is, that the -41 is due to the rendered length of the text. If I change the text to something of a different length, the label is positioned wrongly again.
Is there any possibility to make sure, that the positions are always "correct" in my above definition of correct, regardless of the text length?
Screenshot, left part is wrong, right part is correct:
I think that you can use text-anchor property to style your title. Here you can find more information about text-anchor property: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/text-anchor
title: {
align: 'high',
text: 'Rainfall (mm)',
style: {
'text-anchor': 'start'
},
rotation: 0,
y: -10,
x: -25
},
I think that you need to use chart.marginLeft parameter as well. It will give you a chance to set specific left margin for your chart. Here you can find information about it.

You may also use xAxis.labels.reserveSpace parameter to turn off reserving space for labels: http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#xAxis.labels.reserveSpace
Here you can find live example how your chart can work with this options:

I am currently working on a specific type of chart and I am trying to achieve the following behavior for example :
As you can see there's a gap between the series last point and the xAxis max value and the reason for this is i wanna have a fix max value and load the daily values of a specific currency as the day passes by. So for example in the morning this chart would be empty and by 18:30 it would be filled.
In my mock example i have the current chart:
and when I try to set a new xAxis max value ( i also tried softMax) to a future day (using epoch converter for unixtimestamp) i am getting this:
and i set the max by doing :
return {
endOnTick: false,
max:1631962355,
tickLength: 2,
gridLineColor: '#b9b9b9',
gridLineWidth: 0,
tickColor: '#808080',
labels: {
style: {
color: '#b9b9b9',
},
x: 0,
y: 12,
format: '{value:%d.%b}',
},
visible: true,
};
}
UPDATE
After implementing your response I get an even weirder behavior. I get the same initial start I had before (no difference) but now if i click and drag it to the right I go from this :
to this:
and If i click and drag it to the left, into this:
The transformation happens without animation, neither by wathching the drag and move motion happen. It just instantly transforms after i drag my cursor pointer for a while towards the sides i mentioned above
You need to use milliseconds instead of seconds:
xAxis: {
max: 1631962355000,
...
}

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';
}
}

For the following jsFiddle,I want to use the rangeSelector (but do not want to show them on chart) because I want the chart always show the data for 3 months, which means I cannot disable the range selector.
To hide the range selector I have used:
buttonTheme: {
visibility: 'hidden'
},
labelStyle: {
visibility: 'hidden'
}
Now on top of chart there is a space/blank area. I want to hide it. The reason is I want to show the chart in a small box. And this blank area because of range selector looks awkward in layout. I am thinking is there a way to add negative margin below range selector buttons?
You can set chart's margin, spacing top to negative value.
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
spacingTop: 0,
marginTop: -35
},
Or better, set the range selector's height to 0.
rangeSelector: {
height: 0,

I have a little problem. I use the high charts gauge diagram and the dial covers my title of my y-axis. I tried to solve this problem with the zIndex property for my title, like this:
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Title Y-Axis',
y: 20,
style: {
fontSize:16,
zIndex: 3
}
},
Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Does anybody have an idea how I put the title in the foreground so that the dial doesn't cover my title?
Thank you in advance.
You need to set useHTML parameter as true.

Is it possible to have a diagonal plotline in highcharts?
I have a line chart which tracks weightloss (y axis = weight, x axis = time), and I need a plotline which starts at the initial weight, and plots diagonally to the time when the user should have lost the weight by.
I can plot a simply flat plotline like this:
plotLines: [{
value: 0.696,
width: 3,
color: 'red',
dashStyle: 'dash',
label: {
text: 'Latest value',
align: 'right',
y: 5,
x: 0
}
}]
but, that's just a simple flat line.
Any ideas?
Easiest way is to simply use a separate line series.
Plot just your first and last point. You can disable markers, turn off mousetracking, and hide from the legend if you want it to behave just like a plotLine.
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#plotOptions.series.enableMouseTracking
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#plotOptions.series.marker.enabled
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#plotOptions.series.showInLegend
Plotlines can be horizontal or vertical, but you can use renderer to add custom line (like diagonal) in the chart: http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#Renderer.path()
