I have a series of data collected every 15 minutes for a few weeks. Unfortunately, there's a week of missing data in the middle. This is just a fact of my business. When I use Highcharts to chart this data, it compresses the x-axis (time), skewing the chart. For example, the x-axis has major ticks every 2 hours until the missing week. Then it jumps to major ticks of days.
Regardless of the data, I need the x-axis to remain consistent. If this causes a large gap in the diagram, so be it.
I have skimmed the documentation but found nothing. If anyone could direct me to the relevant page that would be great. Thanks!

You will need to set the xAxis.ordinal property to false, this is true by default. True value indicates the points should be placed at fixed intervals w.r.t space (pixels), and False changes points to be placed at fixed intervals w.r.t. time
xAxis: {
ordinal: false
}

I am playing with a chart with a one data point.
Here is the jsfiddle demo: http://jsfiddle.net/mddc/mfwyoj7j/7/
I notice that if I add
minRange: 1
-1 or 1 will show up on both sides of the data point on the X axis.
I am new to Highcharts. What does minRange=1 mean here? If it is useless, then it should not create any problems, right?
Is this a bug in Highcharts?
Thanks and regards.
See highcharts API doc here: http://api.highcharts.com/highstock#xAxis.minRange
minRange: the minimum range to display. The entire axis will not be allowed to
span over a smaller interval than this. For example, for a datetime
axis the main unit is milliseconds. If minRange is set to 3600000, you
can't zoom in more than to one hour.
So it is used to limit the zoom-in: you will not be able to zoom if the xAxis display less than 1
I have a 'datetime' chart which has one point per day. So my requirement is to have each date displayed on x-axis and value plotted for each date. So I have set the tickinterval as 1 day (24*3600*1000) as follows:
http://jsfiddle.net/vuf5e/1/
However, the x-axis seems to show only Aug28th and chart has two points on either side of it instead of showing one point for Aug27th and another one for Aug28th.
I tried using tickPositions and the chart appears as follows:
http://jsfiddle.net/vuf5e/2/
What is wrong here?
One of the numbers is wrong.
the second position in the tick is 137766608975 but then in the data is 1377666808975 which has a full digit more than the other.
You are in fact missing an 8 somewhere in the middle.
so basically the number on the second tick become smaller than the first one.
[...]
xAxis: {
type:'datetime' , tickPositions:[1377601929269, **137766608975**]
},
series:[{"yAxis":0,"name":"Device_INTERFACE_in_octets--.2","data":[[1377601929269,5.8583],[**1377666808975**,6.6278]]}]
});
});
I want my chart to have a "fixed zoom" on y-axis on certain interval. I don't know if that's a right way to describe it, but I'll give you an example.
This is how my chart looks like right now:
While I'm fine with my x-axis (hours) generating automatically, I want my y-axis not based on series (now it's 8k, 10k. 12k etc - so thats 2k interval), but on fixed value, for example 5k (5k, 10k, ... up to 50k)
Found the solution! It's yAxis.tickInterval.
chart = new Highcharts.Chart
yAxis:
tickInterval: 5000

I have the following issues while working with stacked column charts:
Firstly,look at the following chart:
http://jsfiddle.net/QnuEA/
If you notice the time range is wide, the columns appear too thin. I know that setting pointWidth is one option. But actually the chart should be appearing as they would if the time interval range is narrow as follows:
http://jsfiddle.net/QnuEA/1/
The expectation is x-axis interval must adjust itself.
Secondly, for the same chart as above, if the width of the chart is more (say 900 px or so), the x-axis seems to have a lot of empty space before the first tick.
Is there a solution to this? (I am unable to post more than 2 jsfiddle links here.So I am not providing a link for this issue)
You need to define pointRange as timestamp

I am using a Highcharts Stock graph to show a percentage with respect to time.
http://jsfiddle.net/michaelchart/yYmPR/1/
At certain zoom levels (in this case, when zooming to a timespan of between about 6 and 12 years) the plot strangely turns from a line to sporadic points.
Any ideas as to why this might be? Or is it a bug with Highstock?
You can see an example of a working Highstock graph here http://www.highcharts.com/stock/demo/basic-line.
After posting on the Highstock forum and consequently having an issue posted on github, I found that it was because of the default value of the gapSize option. According to the docs;
gapSize : Number
Defines when to display a gap in the graph. A gap size of 5 means that if the distance between two points is greater than five times that of the two closest points, the graph will be broken.
In practice, this option is most often used to visualize gaps in time series. In a stock chart, intraday data is available for daytime hours, while gaps will appear in nights and weekends.
Defaults to 5.
Setting gapSize to null fixes the problem.
In my particular case, the reason of this problem was bad data output.
Within "series" property, within the "data" array there was a "false" value.
Example:
series : {
"type":"column",
"name":"Test",
"data":[541,784,false,251,353]
}
Corrected the problem in the backend so "false" was interpreted as 0, and everything works now.
