Missing gridlines for spline with single repeating value - highcharts

I'm plotting a spline for a generated series. When the series contains the same repeating value (x axis Datetime increasing, Y axis same int value), the gridlines disappear and the only way I can see the value is to hover over the point.
Note: The min and max are not explicitly set, as they are determined by the data at run-time.
Is there a way to force the grid to appear? I'm guessing the min and max are getting set to the value on the chart, so is there someway for it to show min as val - offset and max as val + offset at runtime perhaps?

Y axis does not disappear after setting extremes

I cannot remove Y axis after I do : chart.yAxis[i].setExtremes(0, 100);. I need to be able to set max and min values for the axis dynamically, based on the index of yAxis - in this case I pass 1. All the other axis disappear fine because this line of code doesn't affect them. What's going on ? Fiddle ( click on Rainfall in the legend): http://jsfiddle.net/ytxetjpL/
Axis is hidden when the scale is not set (via min/max or setExtremes). More information here on github.
This addition should solve the issue.
Highcharts.Axis.prototype.hasData = function() {
return this.hasVisibleSeries;
};

Highchart - Chart type, gap in the x and y axis (0,0)

Please refer the fiddle codehttp://jsfiddle.net/yuvarajkumarg/az290eyq/1/
In Highchart of type Chart, when we plot for height = 0 and pressure = 2, we get a gap as shown in jsfiddle. I want point to be plotted on the X-axis(2,0). But the graph looks like it is plotted on (2,2) since the y-axis plot starts way above the x-axis. How to remove the gap ?
The issue is the categorized axis.
There are probably a few ways around the issue, but I would do it this way (on your xAxis):
tickmarkPlacement: 'on',
min:0.5,
max:6.5
Example:
http://jsfiddle.net/az290eyq/2/
You could also do it by not using categories, and using the axis label formatter in order to display the numeric sequence that you need.
[[ edit for comments:
For the min and max values - the x axis values for a categorized axis are the category array index values. So the first category is x = 0, the second is x = 1, etc.
Because Highcharts puts the the label in the center of the value's space, setting the min/max to the actual min/max value +/- 0.5 will align the center of the space with the start/end of the axis.
So, you can calculate this dynamically by using 0.5 for the min, and counting the categories array and using (count -1.5) as the max.
Additionally, setting the tickmarkPlacement proerty to 'on' moves the tick mark to the center of the space as well, aligning the ticks with the start/end of the axis as well.

how to set the interval of points on Y - Axis highcharts

I am using highcharts for the first time, and I am trying to figure out how to set the Y axis points static.I would like to know how to set y-axis values as -0.0000000001,0.00000000,0.0000000001 and so on in Highcharts.
I have used min=-0.0000000005 and max=0.0000000005 , and the points on y axis come up as 0,0.0000,0.0000... Wherein I want it as -0.0000000001,0.00000000,0.0000000001
You can use label formatter and Highcharts numberFormat then return correct values.

How to set min and max values for an axis?

I have some data that can have values in the range (0..100). Highcharts will sometimes label the axis from -10 to 110, which looks odd.
How can I prevent this? I can set a fixed min and max value for the axis, but if the current values happen to be between e.g. (50..60), I'd rather let Highcharts zoom in on the axis accordingly. Just don't want Highcharts to ever show anything outside of (0..100).
I could of course determine the appropriate min and max values myself every time I load data, but was hoping there would be some kind of minMin and maxMax setting?
So it looks like this isn't possible; opened a feature request.
Nowadays highcharts has floor and ceiling options for this use case.

Try Above series with Y min set to 0 and Y Min to Auto.
I had the same issue with 0 values displayed in the center.
The only way I found to get round it was to either use tickPositions and pass range values across to it for the data based of min/max values and ones in between or to use the tickPositioner call back function to return to go through the data and return the tick values based on these.
Still fairly new to highcharts so there is probably another way I don't know of. If anyone knows how to have 0 values displayed at the bottom of the chart while it auto-scales then please post as I would love to know how/if its possible.
Edit: turns out this isn't really possible currently, only way to get around it is to set min/max values and that won't allow auto scaling but at least it stop there from being any middle 0 values.
