Highcharts change symbol and hover text of individual points Line Chart - highcharts

In reference to this example:
http://www.highcharts.com/demo/spline-irregular-time
How would one change the symbols for the individual points and put custom hover over text for each individual point, when our series is structured exactly like in this example? Thanks!

Solved using this code.
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
defaultSeriesType: 'line'
},
series: [{
data: [{x:1.0,y:209.9,marker: {symbol: 'url(http://www.highcharts.com/demo/gfx/sun.png)'}}, {x:4.0,y:71.5}]
}]
});

Position events below analog area in Highcharts combined line/timeline chart

I have created a combined line/timeline chart in this jsfiddle:
// arbitrary code snippet required by stackoverflow editor:
xAxis: [{
type: 'datetime'
}, {
type: 'linear'
}],
I would prefer the events to be positioned below the analog value grid rather than as currently, in the middle of it.
Is there any way to achieve this? Thanks in advance!
I can suggest two solutions:
add a second yAxis and set heights for both y-axes:
yAxis: [{
height: '50%'
}, {
height: '50%',
top: '50%'
}],
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/e0zhmyr7/
API: https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/yAxis.height
change the y values for x-range series in the current implementation

Highstock: Can we rotate 90 degrees a candlestick chart?

Using Highstock, I wish to draw a candlestick chart over a line chart.
I know it sounds weird, but I need to rotate the candlestick chart by 90 degrees clockwise.
The code I have now is:
Highcharts.getJSON('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/highcharts/highcharts#v7.0.0/samples/data/new-intraday.json', function (data) {
// create the chart
Highcharts.stockChart('container', {
title: {
text: 'AAPL stock price by minute'
},
navigator: {
enabled: false
},
rangeSelector: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'AAPL',
type: 'candlestick',
data: data,
tooltip: {
valueDecimals: 2
}
},{
name: 'TEST',
type: 'line',
data: data
}]
});
});
JSFiddle here
What I want to get is the following (something like...):
Any (simple) idea?
Highstock is not adapted to this kind of customization. The only simple way seems to be creating two overlapping charts - one inverted and one with transparent background, but we have to take into account many limitations, like for example tooltip.
chart: {
inverted: true,
...
}

Highcharts: Bar chart: Label width : nowrap

Thanks for your help. I have having a heck of a time trying to get something to work which is throwing me for a loop..
As seen in this jsfiddle (code copied below) i have a bar chart with a really long label which is wrapping.
What i am hoping to do i max out the label portion of the chart so that the label doesn't wrap while reducing the size of the actual data chart.
As an example; in the jsfiddle the label is maybe 30% of the total width and the bar data is 70%. Knowing my data, the labels would take up 80% of the width and the data would be in the last 20%.
Thoughts? Thanks, Steven.
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: { type: 'bar' },
xAxis: {
labels: {
style: {
"textOverflow": "none",
}
} ,
categories: ['Jan is the first month of the year and if you have a problem with that', 'Feb is the second']
},
series: [{ data: [29.9, 71.5] }]
});
});
Okay, looks like I got what i was looking for. Hope this helps someone else.
The key for me was setting the maringLeft attribute on the chart:
chart: {
type: 'bar',
marginLeft: 460
},
That, along with modifying the width, 'min-width' and useHTML on the label and lable style for the xAxis (Bar chart)
xAxis: {
categories: ['Short Name', 'Much Longer Location Name and if it is true then cool and if you want'],
labels: {
style: {
width: '400px',
'min-width': '350px'
},
useHTML : true
}
},
Thanks, Steven.

Highcharts not changing x-axis label on pagination

I have found this jsfiddle very helpful when I started working on paginated highchart columns. On top of this good example, I would like to know how I could change the x-axis labels into each data's corresponding name. (Ex. Along the x-axis, we should find the names of 'Fred G. Aandahl', 'Watkins Moorman Abbitt', 'Amos Abbott', etc. with their corresponding y-values and must change accordingly when the "Next" button is clicked.)
I have tried adding "xAxis" option inside the highcharts portion but still had no luck.
pie = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'column'
},
xAxis: {
labels: {
formatter: function(){
return this.value;
}
}
},
series: [{
data: []
}]
});
and
pie = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'column'
},
xAxis: {
labels: {
format: '{value}'
}
},
series: [{
data: []
}]
});
Can someone help me regarding on what I am missing in this example? It will be very much appreciated.
You can set type of xAxis to category and without category array the value in axis will be taken from the point. But you will need to change your setData call to
pie.series[0].setData( data.slice(from, to), true, true, false );
xAxis: {
type: 'category'
},
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/kpxp4/8/
I am able to change the x-axis labels accordingly by adding
pie.xAxis[0].update({
categories: category.slice(from, to)
})
after the setData call, where category is an array of all the x-axis labels that you want to display in correspondence to each y-axis value. Moreover, the
xAxis: {
type: 'category'
}
portion, as suggested by #Kacper Madej, works for the specific data format given originally. However, the pie.xAxis[0].update() could be used on a more general sense given that you know the array of x-axis labels that you want to use (regardless of the data or series format that you have).
Here is the link to the jsfiddle.
Hope this could be of any help, too.

Wrong x-axis position and formatting when only 1 data series sent to chart

I found out a problem with chart (highcharts 2.3.5) when i enter datetime series with only 1 data entry, it renders it with incorrect placement on x-axis and wrong point formatting.
here is the example: http://jsfiddle.net/LAcSw/
$(function () {
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime'
},
series: [{
data: [
[Date.UTC(2010, 0, 1), 29.9]
]
}]
});
});
Is there a fix know or something(it was fine on 2.2.5)?
Since you only have a single point HighCharts is making its best guess as to the yAxis range as well as what the label is on the point for the xAxis.
You are not defining any sort of formatting for the xAxis datetime labels - and HighCharts only has one point to work with so it defaults to time. If you assign a formatter for the xAxis labels you can get it to do what you want.
Here is some rough code to show you what this does:
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
labels: {
formatter: function() {
return Highcharts.dateFormat('%d %b %Y', this.value);
}
}
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
max:50
},
And here is your jsFiddle updated.
