I am new to highcharts and trying to show the chart and data at the same time.
Like the whole display should be like this.
First column : Station Name(data)
Second column : horizontal bar
Third column : Data.
Is it possible to paint it only using highcharts API's ?
Thanks

You are basically talking about a regular bar chart with a categorical axis and data labels:
http://jsfiddle.net/JVNjs/288/
categories:['group a','group b','group c','group d','group e']
I don't think that there is a default setting that will align the data labels all to the right in a column as you requested, but I am sure there is a workaround that will allow it to be done.

We have a request from customer and we need to trick the highcharts bar view.
The problem is our series contain timestamp vs value but business wise this value is corresponding to previous timestamp to that value's timestamp. So we would like to show the bars in between of these timestamps.
So is there an easy way to do this in highcharts w/o playing with the points in the series.
See images below;
Current Highchart Behaviour
Requested Chart Behaviour
You can use xAxis.tickPositioner in order to move ticks and xAxis.labels.formatter to change labels values.
Live example: https://jsfiddle.net/h9zjmqap/
Output:
I have a situation where I need to remove all margins from a highchart and remove the x/y axis so it fills a series of columns in a table completely.
I did that, no problem. Chart goes to the extremes as needed.
What I need now is that pesky yaxis I already removed...but displayed in a table cell outside of the existing highcharts object.
It would seem easy, as though I could just set the overflow property of yaxis to 'visible' and play with the offset...which would work however this would only work if I wanted to re-position the axis within the boundaries of the highchart object. I want him in a different cell entirely.
Is there anyone who has had experience in this situation? Is it going to require me to have a secondary highchart with only a y-axis?
Best answer gets a green check.
EDIT :: I now have dispersed each 'day' into their own column (more bars coming per day [scheduled,actual,etc...]). In order to keep the scales lined up, I manipulate the yAxis:max property and set them all to a derived value.
In the open column (currently w/ text Hourly Trends) is where I would put an additional highchart module with no series data but with the same min/max/tickInterval.
The next big leap will be to see the data is alive and changes w/ schedule. May have to start another thread for that one, no?
Create a new HC object with no data but only the yAxis (making sure it is the right scale, etc). Perhaps add the same series of data to it but hide the series? Add it to the location you want. This seems kludge and not very good practice. Each business use is different but why would you want this?
EDIT based on comment of business rules:
Why not come at this from a different direction and have the individual chart elements (the bars/points/etc) be a single point chart. This way you have one chart per column. You can then set up the yAxis to be text and not worry about the position. If we could see an example of the page layout and the desired result that would help.
I am using highcharts library to draw chart and I need to display Weekdays as labels on x-axis and also to auto reset it like from Monday to M if all weekdays can't fit on screen.
It should be dynamic, which means no flickering should appear when changing label text on x-axis.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
There is no straight option for that, rather simple workaround:
Disable reflow from Highcharts, use window.resize browser event
In that event add condition to decide showing full name of just shortened, and set this for chart - chart.xAxis[0].dateTimeLabelFormats should be fine
After setting new format, apply new chart dimensions using chart.setSize(w, h)
I would like to fill the area between two serieses (when serieses cross each other). See below. I tried the 'arearange' chart type but it filled most of the chart with solid colors. I saw a similar question but I wanted to know if Highcharts supports what I want or I have to use the solution posted in that question.
Chart now:
What I want:
type:'arearange'
You need to use three series, first / second as lines, third as arearange with defined values.

When using Highcharts, is it possible to change the contents of the legend to display something other than the series?
For example, I have a scatter chart with just one series but with many elements, so that the element labels obstruct one another and are illegible:
Would it be possible to use the legend to display the element names instead of the series? (each member in the series has a different color so that it is possible to use the legend in this case)
EDIT:
It turns out there isn't any good way to do this, so I wrote my own custom legend. You can find the code here: http://pastie.org/5115536
I hope you find it useful
Highcharts allows to show data points instead of series name in the in the legend. But, Unfortunately its only for Pie charts type:pie.
There is a default option available for the Pie Chart though undocumented in the API.
legendType: 'point',
If you try to set it for other type of chart, Legend does not gets rendered.
