Tile layout for highcharts legend items - highcharts

There is a way to configurate highcharts in order to display legend items as a tile? Or maybe just using the horizontal layout but aligning the items in columns?
At left is an example of how it looks now using the horizontal layout and at right is what I want (it's not a real screenshot but just something I made using paint)
Thanks in advance!

You can set itemWidth
legend: {
itemWidth: 80
}

Highcharts.js legend items align

I have a pie chart. As you can see items of the legend next to each other.
Is it possible to align the legend items in two columns?
Sorry for my English.
You can use legend with properly set property itemWidth. For example:
legend: {
itemWidth: 120
},
From Highcharts docs: itemWidth: NumberSince 2.0
The width for each legend item. This is useful in a horizontal layout with many items when you want the items to align vertically.

Control spacing between bars in Highcharts grouped bar chart

I have two bar charts, drawn using highcharts library, on a single page. I need to maintain same width for bars and same spacing between bars in a group, across these charts. Size of container is different across the charts and fixed as per the UI layout.
Snippet of plot options:
series: {
grouping:true,
groupPadding:0.12,
borderWidth: 0,
events: {
legendItemClick: function () {
return false;
}
}
}
I have tried various combinations and a jsfiddle link is here - http://jsfiddle.net/U6mhy/29/
In the above link, though the bar width is same between the two charts, spacing between bars in a single group is not same. In fact, bars in chart1 hardly appear to be grouped.
I have tried specifying different values of groupPadding, pointPadding and pointWidth but unable to achieve consistent spacing between bars across these charts.
Please suggest if any other combination of options can help me achieve this.
-Thanks
Just to make it clear, you can use one of (not both):
pointWidth: forces Highcharts to draw bars with fixed width,
pointPadding + groupPadding: calculates width of the bar according to these values and chart width/height
Just think about this: how to set the same width of the bar for all charts when you have different number of bars? And the answer is to change charts' width according to number of columns. For example you have 4 bars? Chart height/width will be sum: 4 x 10px + some_padding. If you have 10 bars, when height/width will be: 10 x 10px + some_padding (the same as above). I hope that's what you want to achieve.

Long Legend in Highcharts Becomes Hidden

I have an issue with a HighCharts pie I've created. Sometimes the tooltip text overlaps with the legend, so I had to increase the legend's y property. However, this is causing parts of the legend (it's horizontal with 4 rows) to become partially hidden. I've tried adjusting the height property of the container, as well as a bunch of other properties, but the problem never goes away...
Here's how it looks like:

Any help is much appreciated.
If you are fine with pagination in legend then fix the height of the legend with maxHeight.
if the legend overflows, then pagination appears automatically.
legend: {
maxHeight: 30,
}
here is a working fiddle for pagination http://jsfiddle.net/cEcRz/
hope this is what you are looking for.
You can use pagination but in exporting add custom options to the legend like here:
http://jsfiddle.net/cEcRz/1/
exporting:{
chartOptions:{
legend:{
layout: 'horizontal'
}
}
},
Obviosuly you need to adapt other parameters like size etc.

Teechart Legend Style

In My Code there is requirement when user click on a Bar of a series the CheckBox Style of the Series should be changed to none.But when i do that my Chart Width is increasing. IS there any way we can keep the chart width fix irrespective of legend table width.
Thanks
Akshay
This Can be done
GetLegend().SetResizeChart(false);
GetLegend().SetCustomPosition(true);
GetLegend().SetPositionUnits(muPercent);
GetLegend().SetLeftPercent(83);
GetLegend().SetTopPercent(10);
Set your legend Alignment in bottom for Avoiding width increment of chart as below.
Chart.GetLegend().SetAlignment(laBottom);
if you want custom position of legend (Right side of chart)then you can do as below.
m_Chart1.GetLegend().SetCustomPosition(TRUE);
m_Chart1.GetLegend().SetPositionUnits(muPercent);
m_Chart1.GetLegend().SetTopPercent(20);
long leftmargin = 80.0;
m_Chart1.GetLegend().SetLeftPercent(leftmargin );
m_Chart1.GetPanel().SetMarginRight(100-leftmargin+1);//for avoiding overlapping of legend and chart
Also you can finetune your legend and chart by modifying above value

How to position labels for plotbands on y axis in Highcharts

This Link is a similar example from highcharts.com which i'm working on. I'm trying to place the labels for plot bands on y axis. But as you can see the labels are overlapping on the chart which isn't that good. If i wanna color the labels with the same color of the corresponding plotbands, the label doesn't show up. Is there a way to place it completely outside without overlapping?
Thanks in advance.
A possible solution is to add right margin to the chart, and move the labels over.
Add a marginRight to the chart, and on each label, use x to determine its starting x position.
marginRight:110
and
x: 90 on each label.
http://jsfiddle.net/7xb1Lgx6/ the fiddle.
I think it's not possible to do it yet.
If you add labels to the plotbands it will overlap them.
You can align your labels but if you set x more than your chart width, it will not appear on your chart.
