Getting the tooltip values from Highchart graph in the source code

I want to get the Vacancies and Vacancy Rate values that appear in the tooltip when the cursor hovers over this graph, however ideally I want to grab it straight from the source code. I found a dictionary in the code, though its values are different to what appears in the tooltip.
Eg Value in dict: 34, Value in tooltip: 1
Eg Value in dict: 1055.6270096463, Value in tooltip: 15.8
I'm guessing the values are being changed by some function, though I can't find it in the code. Below is the section of code relating to the tooltip. Any help would be appreciated.

Graph Error on Highchart Spider Web

I'm currently working to create a dashboard that contains multiple spider web charts on it. The first chart works just great, but the other two are showing the wrong graph.
Screenshot
This is the javascript in chart.php (the first chart)
Highcharts.chart('container1', {
chart: {
polar: true,
type: 'line'
},
title: {
text: 'People Commitment',
x: -80
},
pane: {
size: '80%'
},
xAxis: {
categories: [<?php while ($b = mysqli_fetch_array($selectPN)) { echo '"' . $b['point_name'] . '",';}?> ],
tickmarkPlacement: 'on',
lineWidth: 0
},
yAxis: {
gridLineInterpolation: 'polygon',
lineWidth: 0,
min: 0
},
tooltip: {
shared: true,
pointFormat: '<span style="color:{series.color}">{series.name}: <b>{point.y:,.0f}</b><br/>'
},
series: [{
name: 'Target Point',
data: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11],
pointPlacement: 'on'
},]
});
Here is the second chart script:
Highcharts.chart('container2', {
chart: {
polar: true,
type: 'line'
},
title: {
text: 'Product/Process Engineering',
x: -80
},
pane: {
size: '80%'
},
xAxis: {
categories: [<?php while ($b = mysqli_fetch_array($selectPN)) { echo '"' . $b['point_name'] . '",';}?> ],
tickmarkPlacement: 'on',
lineWidth: 0
},
yAxis: {
gridLineInterpolation: 'polygon',
lineWidth: 0,
min: 0
},
tooltip: {
shared: true,
pointFormat: '<span style="color:{series.color}">{series.name}: <b>{point.y:,.0f}</b><br/>'
},
series: [{
name: 'Target Point',
data: [11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1],
pointPlacement: 'on'
},
]
});
I don't know what's wrong with this script. If I open each of the chart.php files independently, the chart looks just fine. However, if I put all those three charts on the same page, the graph on the charts looks messy even though they have the exact same value.

HighCharts axis flip on export

I have a Highchart in my web application. In the browser it displays normally which is as follows:
But when I export the chart it flips the axis and I end up with the following image:

I have three series in my chart, the bar chart can have 0 values.
The data is coming from an ajax service, which I put in an array and then add to chart as follows:
chart.addSeries({
type: 'bar',
name: 'Rings per day ',
data: barData,
pointInterval: mainInterval
});
chart.addSeries({
type: 'spline',
name: 'Accumilative rings ',
data: spline1Data,
yAxis: 1,
});
chart.addSeries({
type: 'spline',
name: 'Planned Progress ',
data: spline2Data,
yAxis: 1,
color: "#FF0000"
});
What's wrong with my chart?

bar series is the key part. bar series forces chart to be rendered flipped. In your case use column. It displays differently on your browser because, most probably, you have an old version of Highcharts.

Connect limit's series in Highcharts

Updated :I'm trying to make a radar chart with hightcharts, but I can't connect this values(the ones which has asterisks for example):
$('#container').highcharts({
plotOptions: {
series: {
enableMouseTracking: false
}
},
chart: {
polar: true,
type: 'line'
},
title: {
text: 'Graph',
x: -80
},
pane: {
size: '80%'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ["Sponsor / Developer","Banks","SPV","Bank Legal DD","Services Legal contracts","Environmental license","Grid connection license","Construction License","Generation License","Site Studies\/License","Property\/terrain","Technical studies","EPC","Financial model"],
tickmarkPlacement: 'on',
lineWidth: 0
},
yAxis: {
gridLineInterpolation: 'polygon',
lineWidth: 0,
min: 0
},
tooltip: {
shared: true,
pointFormat: '<span style=\'color:{series.color}\'>{series.name}: <b>\${point.y:,.0f}</b><br/>'
},
legend: {
align: 'right',
verticalAlign: 'top',
y: 70,
layout: 'vertical'
},
series: [{"name":"Legal","data":[4,3,4,4,4,4,4,null,null,null,null,null,null,4],"color":"#206ef0"},{"name":"Licenses and Permits","data":[null,3,null,null,null,4,4,4,4,4,4,null,null,null],"color":"#f07820"},{"name":"Technical","data":[null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,4,4,4,null],"color":"#ff0000"},{"name":"Financial","data":[null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null]}]});
<div id="container"></div>

<script src="http://code.highcharts.com/highcharts-more.js"></script>
The goal is to connect the series'limit of any series. I mean, if in excel I have the same series, financial model and Sponsor/Developer will be connected by a blue line. Look :
excel graph
How can I do it?
Thank you.

In the chart you can use scatter serie with enabled lineWidth. After last point, add reference to first point, then line will be printed.
{
"name": "Legal",
"data": [[0,4], [1,3], [2,4], [3,4], [4,4], [5,4], [6,4], null, null, null, null, null, null,[13,4],[0,4]],
"color": "#206ef0"
}
You can set line on the edge, by setting tickInterval / endOnTick / max options.
yAxis: {
max:4,
tickInterval:1,
endOnTick:true,
gridLineInterpolation: 'polygon',
lineWidth: 0,
min: 0
},

highcharts.js change color of the lines in the background

I have a basic bar chart. I want to change the color of the lines in the background. Is there any way to do that? I looked over their API and the internet. Seem like I can only change the background color
JS fiddle
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'column'
},
colors: ['#00A7E5'],
legend: {
enabled: false
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Tue','Wed','Thur','Fri','Sat','Sun', 'Mon']},
yAxis: {
title: {text: ''},
tickInterval: 10
},
series: [{
name: 'TOTAL APPTS.',
data: [25, 30, 35, 27, 33, 20, 10]
}],
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
credits: {
enabled: false
}
});
});

Simply add the following line in the yAxis options after tick interval.
gridLineColor: 'color'

gridLineColor: '#ed7d31',
lineColor: '#F3F5F6',
minorGridLineColor: '#ed7d31',
tickColor: '#F3F5F6',
plotLines: [{
color: '#ed7d31'
}],
