Highchart display single entry against each category in bar chart

I am working on highchart. I am trying to build a bar chart with a single entry against each category. Right now I am working on an example basic-bar. Below is the output
Expected Output
I want a single entry against each category. For example against April, I want only one bar not multiple and so on
Here is the working jsFiddle

you just use the parameter visible:
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'bar'
},
title: {
text: 'Historic World Population by Region'
},
subtitle: {
text: 'Source: Wikipedia.org'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Africa', 'America', 'Asia', 'Europe', 'Oceania'],
title: {
text: null
}
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
title: {
text: 'Population (millions)',
align: 'high'
},
labels: {
overflow: 'justify'
}
},
tooltip: {
valueSuffix: ' millions'
},
plotOptions: {
bar: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true
}
}
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
align: 'right',
verticalAlign: 'top',
x: -40,
y: 80,
floating: true,
borderWidth: 1,
backgroundColor:
Highcharts.defaultOptions.legend.backgroundColor || '#FFFFFF',
shadow: true
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
series: [
/*{
visible: false,
name: 'Year 1800',
data: [107, 31, 635, 203, 2]
}, {
visible: false,
name: 'Year 1900',
data: [133, 156, 947, 408, 6]
}, {
visible: false,
name: 'Year 2000',
data: [814, 841, 3714, 727, 31]
}, */
{
visible: true,
name: 'Year 2016',
data: [1216, 1001, 4436, 738, 40]
}]
});

How to set Highcharts labels width to 50%

I have a Highcharts' bar chart with long labels.
I would like to allow them to grow up to 50% of the width of the container.
But no matter what I would do, they are not growing to this width.
Here is an example:
https://jsfiddle.net/agex7m0o/1/
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'bar'
},
title: {
text: 'Historic World Population by Region'
},
subtitle: {
text: 'Source: Wikipedia.org'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Africa Long Name Long Name Long Name Long Name Long Name', 'America', 'Asia', 'Europe', 'Oceania'],
title: {
text: null
},
labels: {
overflow: 'justify'
}
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
title: {
text: 'Population (millions)',
align: 'high'
},
labels: {
overflow: 'justify'
}
},
tooltip: {
valueSuffix: ' millions'
},
plotOptions: {
bar: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true
}
}
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
align: 'right',
verticalAlign: 'top',
x: -40,
y: 80,
floating: true,
borderWidth: 1,
backgroundColor:
Highcharts.defaultOptions.legend.backgroundColor || '#FFFFFF',
shadow: true
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Year 1800',
data: [107, 31, 635, 203, 2]
}, {
name: 'Year 1900',
data: [133, 156, 947, 408, 6]
}, {
name: 'Year 2000',
data: [814, 841, 3714, 727, 31]
}, {
name: 'Year 2016',
data: [1216, 1001, 4436, 738, 40]
}]
});
As you can see, the width of the left side (with the labels) is clearly narrower than the chart side. The labels are wrapping already, but the left side is not growing.
Do you have any idea ?

You can play with the margin parameter by adding in your chart options:
chart: {
type: 'bar',
margin: [50,10,50,400]
},
see exemple : here
link to the API: here

In the below demo the chart yAxis width is set as 50% of the general chart container width. Is that a solution which you have been looking for?
Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/z0vbcf5x/
events: {
render() {
let chart = this;
if (chartForRender) {
chartForRender = false;
chart.update({
chart: {
marginLeft: chart.chartWidth / 2
}
}, true, false, false)
}
chartForRender = true;
}
}

Align Bar Graph with Negative Stack

https://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/library/pure/highcharts/highcharts/tree/master/samples/highcharts/demo/bar-negative-stack/
xAxis: [{
categories: categories,
reversed: false,
labels: {
step: 1
}
}, { // mirror axis on right side
opposite: true,
reversed: false,
categories: categories,
linkedTo: 0,
labels: {
step: 1
}
}],
yAxis: {
title: {
text: null
},
labels: {
formatter: function () {
return Math.abs(this.value) + '%';
}
}
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
stacking: 'normal'
},
bar : {
}
},
This is the highchart graph I am using. However, I want male bars to start from left and female bars to start from right. Not from the middle.
This is what I want

It looks like just two charts placed next to each other. Check demo and code posted below.
Highcharts.chart('container1', {
chart: {
type: 'bar'
},
title: {
text: ''
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
data: [
439,
525,
571,
696,
970,
119,
137,
154
]
}],
});
Highcharts.chart('container2', {
chart: {
type: 'bar'
},
title: {
text: ''
},
xAxis: {
visible: false
},
yAxis: {
reversed: true
},
series: [{
color: 'red',
data: [
239,
505,
511,
596,
270,
199,
167,
224
]
}],
});
#container1 {
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
#container2 {
width: 50%;
}

Highcharts y-axis label floating issue

I am using Highcharts in my project and facing an issue with the y-axis label in bar chart becoming misaligned. Please use the given code in jsFiddle to view the issue.
JavaScript code:
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({

HighCharts: pie slices need background images

I'd like to use a background image for each of my pie chart's slices. Is this possible in High Charts? I can't find an option to specify a background image for each slice. Here's a simple fiddle I put together: http://jsfiddle.net/3KyeL/ (just putting this here in case it makes life easier for someone who knows what to do):
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
credits: {
enabled: false
},
title: {
align: 'center',
text: 'The Foo Bar',
style: {
color: '#9EA7B6'
},
verticalAlign: 'bottom',
y: 15 // TODO: compute this
},
tooltip: {
enabled: false
},
plotOptions: {
pie: {
allowPointSelect: true,
cursor: 'pointer',
dataLabels: {
distance: -100,
enabled: true,
color: '#FFFFFF',
format: '<strong>{point.name}</strong>: {point.percentage:.1f} %'
},
center: ['50%', '50%']
}
},
series: [{
data: [{
name: 'Foo',
y: 25
}, {
name: 'Bar',
y: 50
}, {
name: 'Foobar',
y: 25
}],
type: 'pie'
}]
});
});

Try to use pattern plugin: http://www.highcharts.com/plugin-registry/single/9/Pattern-Fill
For example: http://jsfiddle.net/kVwGn/
<script src="https://rawgithub.com/highslide-software/pattern-fill/master/pattern-fill.js"></script>
...
series: [{
type: 'pie',
data: [{
y: 35,
color: {
pattern: 'http://highcharts.com/demo/gfx/pattern1.png',
width: 6,
height: 6
}
}, {
y: 15,
color: {
pattern: 'http://highcharts.com/demo/gfx/pattern2.png',
width: 6,
height: 6,
// VML only:
color1: 'red',
color2: 'yellow'
}
}]
}]
