Hide first tick in Highcharts time series - highcharts

Question

I'm currently working on a time series line chart in Highcharts. I need to add major tick marks on the y-axis for all ticks except the first (i.e. major ticks at 0, 5, and 10 but only 5 and 10 have tick marks). Does anyone know of an easy way to accomplish this?

Answer 1

I would recommend the tickPositions property, or the tickPositioner.
It leaves you having to define the placement of all of the ticks that you do want to show, but I don't know of another way to accomplish it, other than editing the SVG directly.

Answer 2

This obviously isn't ideal because you want your chart configurations to live in your Highcharts definitions, but using pseudo-selectors to hide the last tick is functional.
Highcharts assigns your axis ticks inside of an svg element with the class .highcharts-axis. Assuming you want to hide it for all charts, add the following to your CSS file:
.highcharts-axis :last-child {
display: none;
}

You can use the following:
https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/xAxis.showFirstLabel
https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/xAxis.showLastLabel
Demo:
Highcharts.chart('container', {
xAxis: {
showLastLabel: false,
},
series: [{
data: [29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2, 144.0, 176.0, 135.6, 148.5, 216.4, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4]
}]
});

<div id="container" style="height: 400px"></div>

I know it is too late, but may be someone try to find better solution, use
tickPositions: [],
