Highcharts stick column to x axis

Why are the columns in the demo code handing above the x axis. How do I make them stick to x axis.
Look at the https://jsfiddle.net/nmLo2sbu/
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'column'
},
title: {
text: 'Stacked bar chart'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Apples', 'Oranges', 'Pears', 'Grapes', 'Bananas'],
lineColor: '#FF0000',
offset:0,
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Total fruit consumption'
},
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
minPointLength: 3,
// stacking: 'normal'
}
},
series: [{
name: 'John',
data: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
}, {
name: 'Jane',
data: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
}, {
name: 'Joe',
data: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
}]
});

Highcharts are not able to calculate extremes on yAxis, so tick 0 is placed in the middle. Additionally, the default value in column series for threshold is 0. You can force to calculate extremes for example by using softMax property.
yAxis: {
...,
softMax: 1
}

Highcharts legend index showing -1 on legend click

In this jsFiddle when all the series are de-selected except for series 1, it reads '-1'. Is this a bug in high charts or something I am doing wrong? I have tried a couple things, such as messing with the offset, showEmpty, nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
http://jsfiddle.net/mhant47c/1/
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'bar'
},
yAxis: [{
width: '33.33%',
showLastLabel: false,
id: 'yA0'
}, {
left: '33.33%',
width: '33.33%',
offset: 0,
showLastLabel: false,
id: 'yA1'
}, {
left: '66.66%',
width: '33.33%',
offset: 0,
id: 'yA2'
}],
plotOptions: {
series: {
stacking: 'normal'
}
},
xAxis:{
showEmpty:false,
categories:['a','b','c','d']
},
series: [{
data: [1, 2, 3, 4]
}, {
data: [3, 2, 1, 6]
},
{
yAxis: 1,
data: [23, 43, 56,23, 43, 56]
},{
yAxis: 1,
data: [23, 43, 56,23, 43, 56]
}, {
yAxis: 2,
data: [123, 413, 516,23, 43, 56]
}]
});

The chart tries to center the columns which results in adding an additional category. To prevent this, use min option:
xAxis: {
min: 0,
...
},

HighCharts : Polar chart not stretched in its frame

I want to display a small polar chart on my web site.
But there is an anoying behaviour. the container (circle) of the chart do not fit with the chart, it grow step by step. If a value is just too big, the chart will be lost in a huge empty circle.
Please, have a look on this jsfiddle to understand the problem :
http://jsfiddle.net/7zmT9/
Is it possible to force the frame to fit the chart? or to reduce the step value?
Here is my code :
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
polar: true,
height: 252,
width: 262
},
pane:{
size: '100%',
},
title: {
text: 'Highcharts Polar Chart'
},
pane: {
startAngle: 0,
endAngle: 360
},
xAxis: {
tickInterval: 45,
min: 0,
max: 360,
labels: {
formatter: function () {
return this.value + '°';
}
}
},
yAxis: {
min: 0
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
pointStart: 0,
pointInterval: 45
},
column: {
pointPadding: 0,
groupPadding: 0
}
},
series: [{
type: 'column',
name: 'Column',
data: [8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 20], // replace 20 by 18 to see the a more fitted chart
pointPlacement: 'between'
}, {
type: 'line',
name: 'Line',
data: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
}, {
type: 'area',
name: 'Area',
data: [1, 8, 2, 7, 3, 6, 4, 5]
}]
});
});

Universal solution is to set maxPadding: 0 and sometimes endOnTick: false. See demo: http://jsfiddle.net/7zmT9/4/
yAxis: {
min: 0,
maxPadding: 0
},

You can indeed set the step, but I am not 100% sure if this is what you are looking for.
On your yAxis you can set the tickInterval
yAxis: {
min: 0,
tickInterval: 2 //change this value to suit your needs
},
I have updated your Fiddle. Is that what you are after?

How to remove a gap in high charts graph with two yAxis

I have been trying to get rid of the gap on the left and nothing works. This issues only happens when I add a reverse yAxis on the right. Below is the code I am using:
$(function () {
var categories = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'];
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'areaspline',
zoomType: 'xy',
},
title: {
text: 'Stats',
},
subtitle: {
text: 'YTD 2013 - 2014',
},
xAxis: {
labels: {
enabled: true,
formatter: function () {
return categories[this.value];
}
},
tickInterval: 1,
minPadding: 0,
maxPadding: 0,
startOnTick: true,
endOnTick: true,
},
yAxis: [{ //--- Primary yAxis
min: 0,
minPadding: 0,
maxPadding: 0,
startOnTick: true,
endOnTick: true,
title: {
text: 'Mds',
style: {
color: '#8dc63f',
}
},
labels: {
style: {
color: '#8dc63f',
fontWeight: 'bold'
}
}
}, { //--- Secondary yAxis
labels: {
formatter: function () {
var mil = '$';
return mil + Highcharts.numberFormat(this.value, 0);
},
style: {
color: '#3fb4ed',
fontWeight: 'bold'
}
},
title: {
text: 'Revenue',
style: {
color: '#3fb4ed',
}
},
opposite: true
}],
series: [{
type: 'areaspline',
color: '#005a84',
fillOpacity: 0.2,
yAxis: 0,
zIndex: 3,
name: 'Goals',
data: [5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 8, 8, 8, 10, 10, 10, 10],
}, {
type: 'areaspline',
color: '#8dc63f',
fillOpacity: 0.2,
yAxis: 0,
zIndex: 4,
name: 'This Year',
data: [21, 14, 6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
}, {
type: 'areaspline',
color: '#d9531e',
fillOpacity: 0.2,
yAxis: 0,
zIndex: 3,
visible: false,
name: 'Last Year',
data: [20, 2, 2, 7, 8, 5, 7, 3, 2, 2, 5, 5],
}, {
type: 'column',
color: '#3fb4ed',
fillOpacity: 0.2,
yAxis: 1,
zIndex: 1,
visible: false,
name: 'Revenue',
data: [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 2]
}]
});
});
I have tried every possible solutions out there. Went through API docs and searched every forum. Any help would be much appriciated.

You can set for xAxis:
xAxis: {
labels: {
enabled: true,
formatter: function () {
return categories[this.value];
}
},
tickInterval: 1,
minPadding: 0,
maxPadding: 0,
min: 0.5, // remove padding
max: categories.length - 1.5, // remove padding
startOnTick: false, // allow to start not from tick
endOnTick: false // allow to end not at tick
},
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/p2EYM/24/ - turn on Revenue - you will see that first and last column will be cut off.

The reason it is doing this is because, even though the series is hidden on load, you have a column series that needs the width to display. If you just show series "Revenue" you can see it is using that empty space that was there before. You could also play with tickPixelInterval - but for that you need to not use a categorized xAxis.
See this example.
I also set showEmpty to false for both yAxis elements.

If you change the last of series from
type: 'column',
to
type: 'areaspline',
there will be no gaps on left and right side. Do you need type column?
Solution for your problem is answered here Highcharts Remove Space across the x-Axis by user Dusty. You have to setup for x-axis:
min: 0.5,
max: 10.5,
Note: if you turn your column type series to visible: true half of the first and the last column will be cut-off.

highcharts xaxis navigator not showing

I have a few date/value series on a chart, nothing complicated. I would like to have the zooming navigator at the bottom as in here but it doesn't show up on my chart.
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: { type: 'spline' },
title: { text: 'intensity' },
rangeSelector: { selected: 2},
xAxis: { type: 'datetime', },
yAxis: [
{ title: { text: 'Intensity (A)' }, min: 0 },
{ title: { text: 'Nb' }, min: 0, opposite: true },
],
series: [
{ name: 'serie 1', yAxis: 0, visible: false, turboThreshold: 546, marker: {enabled: false}, data: [
[Date.UTC(2013, 09-1, 25, 10, 38, 01, 0), 142.205467],
[Date.UTC(2013, 09-1, 25, 10, 43, 01, 0), 142.886567],
...]
},
{ name: 'serie 2', yAxis: 1, visible: false, turboThreshold: 20, marker: {enabled: false}, data: [
[Date.UTC(2013, 09-1, 23, 13, 58, 25, 0), 0.000000],
[Date.UTC(2013, 09-1, 23, 13, 58, 26, 0), 1.000000],
... ]
},
...
Just in case this might be the problem, I have roughly 40 series in total and 30000 points in total too.
I have tried to have navigator: {enabled: true} and similar things (setting the data serie in the navigator to be the same as my first data serie) but none worked
What should I do ? Do I HAVE to use highstocks ? Their api is more complicated than highcharts and I would prefer to use the latter if possible

Navigator is available only in highstock.js file. So you can use this file in combine with you highcharts.
