Start graph rendering after left sided labels in Highstock - javascript

In my highstock charts i required label on the left side of the graphs. When i used opposite: false + align: left for labels they are positioned above graph. But i want to start graph rendering after labels ends.
Left side labels without required graph render
I saw solution for my problem in Highcharts not in highstock some time before. But now i cant find it to show what exactly i need
Expected result
Thanks in advance

OK, so you want the labels inside the plot area.
You can do this by adding
labels: {
align: 'left',
x: 0
}
to your yAxis properties.
This moves the starting point of the labels to the axis line, and extends the labels to the right from that point. If you want them pushed further inside, just increase x.
The problem that you'll run into is that the plot will not respect the label placement - your line will still start at the same point, as if the labels weren't there.
Normally, you could just use the minPadding setting on the xAxis to increase the space for the labels, but this doesn't work in the case of the navigator, as explained here:
http://api.highcharts.com/highstock/xAxis.minPadding
When the axis' min option is set or a min extreme is set using axis.setExtremes(), the minPadding will be ignored
I am sure there is some work around for this problem, but I do not have the solution currently.

Prevent Recharts Tick Marks from Overlapping

I am developing an application which allows a user to select dynamically queried data which can then be used in Recharts visualizations. There are certain edge cases where the default formatting / rendering within recharts produces an ugly result. For example, if there are many unique values passed to the <XAxis /> component then the chart produced will likely have overlapping text for the ticks.
There does not seem to be any good "render as many ticks as possible, without overlapping" option described in the documentation. These appear to be the only options:
Render all ticks (obviously leads to too many ticks)
<XAxis
dataKey={xAxisField.name}
name={getXAxisLabel(xAxisField, chartType)}
tickFormatter={
getMetaDataType(xAxisField) ===
"DATE"
? tickEpochFormatter // force numbers to be displayed as 'YYYY-MM-DD'
: tickNumberFormatter
}
allowDataOverflow={false}
ticks={xValues.sort()} // gets all of the values
interval={0} // display all of values, instead of the default 5
angle={-90} // force text to be 90, reading towards the graph
textAnchor="end" // rather than setting "dy={50}" or something
>
Render only the start / end / start & end, which depends (seemingly) entirely on the width of the text, prior to rotation.
<XAxis
dataKey={xAxisField.name}
name={getXAxisLabel(xAxisField, chartType)}
tickFormatter={
getMetaDataType(xAxisField) ===
"DATE"
? tickEpochFormatter // force numbers to be displayed as 'YYYY-MM-DD'
: tickNumberFormatter
}
allowDataOverflow={false}
ticks={xValues.sort()} // gets all of the values
interval="preserveStart" // ensure that everything can be read, giving preference to the "left"???
angle={-90} // force text to be 90, reading towards the graph
textAnchor="end" // rather than setting "dy={50}" or something
>
Hardcode the number of intervals to ensure a maximum? I'm not sure if this is a viable option since I would need to know how many ticks are truly overlapping. Just seems like a crude approach.
Is it even possible to have Recharts render as many things as possible, even if they are rotated 90 degrees, and then selectively choose what has enough space to display? Is it possible to have the angle property dynamically update based on the length of the tick mark texts?

Here's a picture of the problematic rendering I want to clean up:
Also, please note that normally I would prefer to stick to the same library that I have been using, but if another library is better suited for this use-case, I would like to consider switching!
I had the same problem, ended up removing the interval property which set the ticks to be sort-of-dynamic but had only 4 or 5 ticks.
So I set the minTickGap to some negative value. the result was that more ticks appeared on the axis
<XAxis dataKey="date"
angle={45}
dx={15}
dy={20}
minTickGap={-200}
axisLine={false}/>

Chartjs: How can I group datasets closer if I have maxBarThickness set?

I have a chart where I've set a maxBarThickness on my axis. When the chart is populated with a lot of data, the datasets are close together, but when there are just a few data points, the datasets look wide apart.
I have tried setting categoryPercentage to a smaller percentage but when the chart is populated with a lot of data (or on page resize), the chart looks wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
According to this github issue you cannot change the space between bars if you decide to set a barThickness (I assume it does not work when maxBarThickness is set either but I might be wrong, if so I'll delete this answer)
According to the previous link, you have two solutions:
If you want to keep your bar thickness (answer to the github issue):
If you don't want to stretch out the bar to fill the extra space, you have to reduce the width of the canvas.
Otherwise you could set a barPercentage and a categoryPercentage on your chart, without a barThickness or a maxBarThickness:
scales: {
xAxes: [{
categoryPercentage: 0.8,
barPercentage: 0.9
}]
},
Those are the default values.

PLotLines In HighCharts Overlapping || React highCharts || YAxis Interval

I am developing a barchart in React Js using React HighCharts Library. So in some of the case my data interval is not linear(diffrence between min value and max is very large). so the plotlines are overlapping. Sharing the image for reference.
Please help me to solve this i want my label to show clearly.
In this Image i have 2 plot lines valued at 0.66 and some nearby value 0.5 or so.
They are overlapping. Please help to solve this case.
Thanks.
Highcharts doesn't provide any mechanism for handling overlapping plot lines - it has to be done manually.
Plot line labels can be adjusted by using y property:
plotLines: [{
value: 22,
color: 'red',
width: 1,
label: {
text: 'First label',
y: 13
}
}
Live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/zm5fk3rw/
If you're looking for more dynamic approach place the code responsible for changing the position of labels in chart.events.load callback.
Current y position of label is kept in yAxis.plotLinesAndBands[i].label.alignAttr.y property. yAxis.plotLinesAndBands[i].label is SVGElement so its y position can be changed like this: yAxis.plotLinesAndBands[i].label.attr({y: newValue}).
Starting point for implementing dynamic logic for positioning plot line labels: http://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/1vh940kj/
API references:
https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/yAxis.plotLines.label.y
https://api.highcharts.com/class-reference/Highcharts.SVGElement#attr
Plot line value property works the same as y in points - it reflects the real value and it's normal that plot lines overlap when they have almost the same value.
If you want to change its y position anyway you can use the same approach that I proposed for dynamic positioning of the labels (current y position of the label can be extracted from yAxis.plotLinesAndBands[0].svgElem.d property):

Highcharts Bar Chart - Labels Not Appearing in Bar

I've been playing around with a highcharts bar chart and noticed some strange behavior. If I have a long name in the x axis (the categories), and if I have labels enabled to show up on the bars, not all the labels will appear. If I remove the long x axis name, then the label that wasn't appearing on the bar before will suddenly appear. I have a working Jsfiddle example here:
https://jsfiddle.net/p55t0bmf/ (notice label isn't appearing for one of the bars, should say 5 but nothing is there)
I placed a long name in the categories section to trigger this behavior:
xAxis: {
categories: ["LONG NAME THAT WILL BREAK US"]
}
Does anyone know why this would be happening, and is there a way to fix this behavior (without resorting to short x axis names of course)?
Set allowOverlap to true. When you have longer xAxis labels, then you have less horizontal space. Labels have padding which can overlap and hide some of them. Anyway, your demo works for me exactly the same way with or without long xAxis category.
Demo with all labels: https://jsfiddle.net/p55t0bmf/1/
stacking option cause this problem. If you set the stacking, then highchart change the label opacity automatically.
Solution : Remove stacking options from chart, if you dont need or write css to override label opacity.

jqplot start graph axis labelling from top

Want a simple fix for jqplot axis display. I am using Bubble charts for chart display, and CategoryAxisRenderer for axis.
All I want is the axes to display in top-down fashion, rather than the default bottom-up one. Meaning, the x axis is displayed on top of the chart increasing from left to right, and the y axis starts from the top increasing from top to bottom!!
Have looked in for various in-built jqplot options but to no luck. I am afraid that the solution lies in altering the css definitions for jqplot axis, but i do not want that, as it would consume huge amounts of time just to understand someone else's css. Please if someone could help!
Have got my solution finally.
Reversed the array that had to be printed row wise, hence both chart and the y axis came up correctly.
The second x axis , did not solve my problem. Instead for the particular chart id , modified the the css class jqplot-xaxis and that did the trick.
myBubbleChartId .jqplot-xaxis{
position : absolute;
top : -20px !important;
}
