Highcharts - How to plot a X axis line on my bell curve (Standard Deviation Curve)

I have one Highchart which is showing a Standard Deviation curve (Bell curve). I would like to plot a x axis vertical line when x=0.(see my current graph).
When I include the code to include the line the chart disappear, so I believe something I need to change, obviously :-).
Just as information the chart works perfectly without the "plotLines:" inside xAxis.
Could you help me with this?
See my Script
<script>
var data = <?php echo json_encode($data, JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK); ?>;
var pointsInInterval = 5;
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
margin: [50, 0, 50, 50],
events: {
load: function () {
Highcharts.each(this.series[0].data, function (point, i) {
var labels = ['4σ', '3σ', '2σ', 'σ', 'μ', 'σ', '2σ', '3σ', '4σ'];
if (i % pointsInInterval === 0) {
point.update({
color: 'red',
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
format: labels[Math.floor(i / pointsInInterval)],
overflow: 'none',
crop: false,
y: -2,
style: {
fontSize: '13px'
}
}
});
}
});
}
}
},
title: {
text: null
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
xAxis: [{
title: {
text: 'Data'
},
visible: false
}, {
title: {
text: 'Bell curve'
},
opposite: false,
visible: true
},
plotLines: [{
color: '#FF0000',
width: 2,
value: 0
}]
],
yAxis: [{
title: {
text: 'Data'
},
visible: false
}, {
title: {
text: 'Bell curve'
},
opposite: false,
visible: true
}],
series: [{
name: 'Bell curve asd',
type: 'bellcurve',
xAxis: 1,
yAxis: 1,
pointsInInterval: pointsInInterval,
intervals: 4,
baseSeries: 1,
zIndex: -1,
marker: {
enabled: true
}
}, {
name: 'Data',
type: 'scatter',
data: data,
visible: false,
marker: {
radius: 1.5
}
}],
exporting: {
allowHTML: true,
sourceWidth: 800,
sourceHeight: 600
}
});
</script>

Plot lines should be added as a property of an axis object:
xAxis: [{
title: {
text: 'Data'
},
visible: false
}, {
title: {
text: 'Bell curve'
},
opposite: false,
visible: true,
plotLines: [{
color: '#FF0000',
width: 2,
value: 0
}]
}
]

Highcharts Grouped stack x.axis name + category name

I am trying to get my highcharts graph to look like this or similar to this.
I have tried to use groupped category addon for highcharts, but it down not seem to work well with stack option.
sample in JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/02ey1hbr/7/
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'bar'
},
title: {
text: 'Stacked bar chart'
},
xAxis: {
labels: {
rotation: -0,
style: {
fontSize: '10px',
align: 'Right',
}
},
categories: [{
name: "Case A",
categories: ["Male", "Female"]
}, {
name: "Case B",
categories: ["Male", "Female"]
}]
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
title: {
text: 'x-axis'
}
},
legend: {
reversed: true
},
plotOptions: {
bar: {
stacking: 'normal'
}
},
series: [{
name: 'x',
data: [5,3,4,5],
stack: 'StackA'
}, {
name: 'y',
data: [3,5,4,5],
stack: 'StackA'
},{
name: 'x',
data: [5,3,4,5],
stack: 'StackB'
}, {
name: 'y',
data: [3,5,4,5],
stack: 'StackB'
}
]
});

To display bar the way you want, you need to get rid of the stack property from all series. Why do you want to preserve them? They are used for dividing series into groups. I also corrected position of labels using x property.
API Reference:
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/series%3Ccolumn%3E.stack
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/xAxis.labels.x
Example:
http://jsfiddle.net/sjtdgq9L/

Within my project, using stacks allows me to get better control over the 12 data sets in a series that is split into 2 stacks. Example in jsfiddle is a smaller version to get the proof of concept working and better interact with community. Stacks also make the code much easier to maintain.
Using: Proper x-axis for Highcharts stack group column as a reference, i was able to modify my example to: http://jsfiddle.net/02ey1hbr/11/ and achieve a working example with stacks. Its not perfect but really close to.
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'bar'
},
title: {
text: 'Stacked bar chart'
},
xAxis: [{
categories: ["Case A", "Case B","Case C", "Case D"],
labels: {
rotation: -90,
x: -60,
style: {
fontSize: '10px',
align: 'Right',
}
},
tickWidth: 1,
tickLength: 60,
},
{
categories: ['Male', 'Female','Male', 'Female','Male', 'Female','Male', 'Female'],
opposite: false,
labels: {
rotation: 0,
x: 60,
style: {
fontSize: '10px',
align: 'Right',
}
},
tickWidth: 0,
}],
yAxis: {
min: 0,
title: {
text: 'x-axis'
}
},
legend: {
reversed: true
},
plotOptions: {
bar: {
stacking: 'normal'
}
},
series: [{
name: 'x',
data: [1,8,9,16],
stack: 'StackA'
}, {
name: 'y',
data: [1,7,10,15],
stack: 'StackA'
},{
name: 'x',
data: [3,6,11,14],
stack: 'StackB'
}, {
name: 'y',
data: [4,5,12,13],
stack: 'StackB'
},
{
name: '',
data: [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
showInLegend: false,
stack: 'StackB',
xAxis: 1
}
]
});

Change your series to:-
series: [{
name: 'x',
data: [5,3,4,5]
}, {
name: 'y',
data: [3,5,4,5]
},{
name: 'x',
data: [5,3,4,5]
}, {
name: 'y',
data: [3,5,4,5]
}
]

combining an area chart with a line chart in highcharts.js

So I have an area stacked chart:
chart: {
type: 'area',
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
stacking: 'normal',
},
area: {
events: {
legendItemClick: function () {
return false; // <== returning false will cancel the default action
},
},
},
},
title: {
text: title,
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
min: startDateInMS,
max: endDateInMS,
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: yLabel,
},
},
series: data,
credits: {
enabled: false,
},
};
How do I add a line item/chart to what I already have? I have looked through the docs and they don't really have an example of combining a line with an area chart.
Thanks!

Highcharts support combining different kinds of charts like so:
http://www.highcharts.com/docs/chart-and-series-types/combining-chart-types
series: [{
type: 'area',
name: 'Jane',
data: [3, 2, 1, 3, 4]
}, {
type: 'line',
name: 'John',
data: [2, 3, 5, 7, 6]
},
Combining area and line would look something like this:

Working with multiple axis with highcharts.js

I’m working with highcharts.js and I have a scatter plot example I found, fiddle here. With this example I can break down the X-axis into two categories which is ideal for my situation. However, I would like to rotate the labels for each ‘Vendor’ variable 90 degrees while keeping the ‘date’ variable horizontal. I can’t figure this out, of even know if it’s possible. I know how to rotate both variables but that doesn’t look good. Is it even possible to achieve this effect with highcharts.js?
var cates = [{
name: "1/1/2014",
categories: ["Vendor 1", "Vendor 2", "Vendor 3"]
}, {
name: "1/2/2014",
categories: ["Vendor 1", "Vendor 2", "Vendor 3"]
}, {
name: "1/3/2014",
categories: ["Vendor 1", "Vendor 2", "Vendor 3"]
}];
console.log("here: ", cates);
$(function () {
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: "container",
type: "scatter",
borderWidth: 5,
borderColor: '#e8eaeb',
borderRadius: 0,
backgroundColor: '#f7f7f7'
},
title: {
text: "title"
},
yAxis: [{ // Primary yAxis
labels: {
format: '${value}',
style: {
color: Highcharts.getOptions().colors[0]
}
},
title: {
text: 'Daily Tickets',
style: {
color: Highcharts.getOptions().colors[0]
}
}
}, { // Secondary yAxis
title: {
text: 'Invoices',
style: {
color: Highcharts.getOptions().colors[0]
}
},
labels: {
format: '${value}',
style: {
color: Highcharts.getOptions().colors[0]
}
},
opposite: true
}]
,
series: [{
name: 'Daily',
type: 'scatter',
yAxis: 1,
data: [4, 14, 18, 5, 6, 5, 14, 15, 18],
tooltip: {
valueSuffix: ' mm'
}
}],
xAxis: {
categories: cates,
/** UNCOMMENT BELOW **/
// labels: {
// rotation:-90,
// style: {
// fontSize:'10px',
// fontWeight:'normal',
// color:'#333'
// },
//}
}
});
});
UPDATE: I figured it out, the labels object should look like this
labels: {
groupedOptions: [{
y: 90,
rotation: 0
}],
rotation:-90,
style: {
fontSize:'10px',
fontWeight:'normal',
color:'#333'
},
}

Can this bar chart style from Excel be recreated with Highcharts?

I'd like to have the lines linking each data block, like the attached screenshot from Excel. Even better would be if the line could change color based on it's angle. I can't seem to find anything in the documentation to create this style chart. Any ideas?
JSFiddle - Same Bar Chart (without connectors)
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'bar'
},
title: {
text: 'Stacked bar chart'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Row1', 'Row2']
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
title: {
text: 'Total fruit consumption'
}
},
legend: {
reversed: false
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
stacking: 'normal'
}
},
series: [{
name: 'Data1',
data: [9, 4]
}, {
name: 'Data2',
data: [12, 6]
}, {
name: 'Data3',
data: [15, 7]
}, {
name: 'Data4',
data: [16, 8]
}, {
name: 'Data5',
data: [19, 7]
}]
});
});
