How to paint primefaces pie charts with huge legends? - jsf-2

I want to paint some pie charts with huge legends, but I can't resize the yellow panel in the background of the pieChart.
Is there any way to resize the yellow panel to put the legend below and not resizing the piechart itself?
Piechart without legend:
Piechart with legend:
Here I let you my piechart code (I am using primefaces 4.0):
<p:panel style="width: 600px; height:500px;">
<p:pieChart value="#{pieModel.value}" title="#{pieModel.key}" showDataLabels="true" extender="pieExtender" legendPosition="s" legendCols="6" />
</p:panel>
I have tried to play with panel styles, but it was useless.
EDIT (after kukeltje comment):
I have searched in jqPlot documentation, but I haven't found anything. What are the jqplot properties for changing this panel size. Or maybe I need an extension?. No idea.Please, show me an example... I just found a way to show labels when moused over, and I figured out it could be something similar, but not come upon the background panel size:
<script type="text/javascript">
function pieExtender() {
this.cfg.highlighter = {
show: true,
tooltipLocation: 'n',
useAxesFormatters: false,
formatString: '%s = %d'
};
}
</script>

I have solved the problem defining the style of the chart, and I have to calculate how big will be the legend, bring the width and height to the pieChart component:
This is not the best solution, because it is quite impossible calculate the exactly panel size to keep the pie chart size as without legend, but at least I can keep the pie visible...

Highcharts styledMode with highcharts.css import causes pie legend hover to apply to all legend items

Using highcharts, if you create a pie chart with styledMode: true; and you import their highcharts.css file, the hover effect on legend items causes all legend items to go opaque.
Code That Causes It
You can even see this on their demo page by selecting the Styled Mode: Pie.
And then hovering over the legends items. If you set the styledMode: false; and then remove the CSS import it goes away.
My question basically: Is this a bug? It seems like unintended behaviour.
I don't think that it is a bug - it's more like a small difference between styledMode and the regular one, which could be easily fixed by changing the opacity for it.
Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/pq6omt2y/
CSS:
.highcharts-legend-point-active .highcharts-point:not(.highcharts-point-hover) {
opacity: 1
}

Highcharts: How to hide the text from legends

What I'm after is showing only the colors of the series in the legends and hiding all the text while keeping the title in the series data so it would come in the tool tip.
Through using labelFormatter this (fiddle) is the closest I got to doing it, when I remove the text however it allows the legends to overlap.
Eventually, just showing the colors of the legends and not the legends' text itself is the result I'm after, i.e:
Set,
itemStyle: {
display: 'none',
}
and remove
layout: 'vertical',

Add data to a legend, with different format? Or should I use a label?

I am experimenting with the legend; trying to get as result, a panel where I display data about the chart.
I am planning to add the last value, and min and max.
Looking for some examples, and I found one that use a function called labelFormatter, altho I am not having luck in understanding how does it works.
I need to have values with different text color and different size, so I am not even sure if I can use the title of the legend for this purpose, or if I should hide the legend and create directly a label (altho the issue then is related to moving and resizing, right? Since the legend update its position if the chart window is resized).
Which is the best way to do what I am planning to do? a label or the legend?
If you are considering adding HTML elements into the chart plot area then you will have to use Highcharts Renderer API.
You can refer this JSFIDDLE working demo
it works like:
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
....
.....
......
}, function(chart) { // on complete
chart.renderer.text('This text is <span style="color: red">styled</span> and linked', 150, 80)
.css({
color: '#4572A7',
fontSize: '16px'
})
.add();
});

Highchart Solid Gauge Responsive

I created Solid Gauge chart using Highchart.
but when screen resolution changed chart is still displayed with original size.
i need responsive Solid Gauge chart.
Demo Link
The solid gauge chart handles size changes quite well by itself. I've updated the demo JFiddle to show how the gauge can handle resizing.
The main idea here is that when the window is resized, the width of the div is changed by CSS:
<div id="container-speed" style="width: 50%; float: left"></div>
And the height of the div is changed by JS:
function setDivHeight() {
var div = $('#container-speed');
div.height(div.width() * 0.75);
div = $('#container-rpm');
div.height(div.width() * 0.75);
}
$(window).on('load resize', function(){
setDivHeight();
});
Note that the ratio between width and height for the gauge seems to be ideal at 4:3, which is why the code multiplies by 0.75 to set the height.
Managing the text elements will be CSS/JS/HTML positioning and resizing of your choice, depending on how many screen sizes you wish to handle.
Following solution manages responsivity in both vertical and horizontal direction. Furthermore, it does not require additional JS to resize the container div.
Check this fiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/istibekesi/bm3d1zng/
Highchart sets the height of the chart to 400px by default.
So the trick is to set the height of the chart by percentage:
#container-speed {
height: 180%
}

highcharts dataLabel overflow: justify issue

I've upgraded from highcharts 3.0.5 to 3.0.7 and with that change came the dataLabels overflow:justify property that is set to justify the dataLabels (see this fiddle for an example). This will just slide labels that fall outside of the chart into the bar, but the color doesn't change and there doesn't appear to be an option to change the color. Is there A) any way to force the label to appear beside the bar and readjust the size of the bars, or B) any way to change the color when overflow: justify kicks into play?
The only "fix" that immediately comes to mind is to provide some maxPadding, but that feels a bit hacky.
instead you can use the property
overflow: 'none',
crop: false
here is the API reference
I hope this will help you
I ran into the same thing and came up with a solution that appears to work for my scenario.
After rendering the chart, I look through the series for dataLabels that have been right-aligned, then change them to white using jQuery.
// snipped: rendering the chart
var chart = $('#chartContainer').highcharts(),
labels = $('#chartContainer').find(".highcharts-data-labels tspan"),
indexesNeedingWhite = [];
$.each(chart.series[0].data, function (index, data) {
if (data.dataLabel.alignOptions.align === "right") {
indexesNeedingWhite.push(index);
}
});
// find the exact text label within this container
// and change the fill to white
$.each(indexesNeedingWhite, function (i, index) {
$(labels[index]).css('fill', 'white');
});
