I'm attempting to use a highcharts in conjunction with Bootstrap. The pie chart is placed inside a column of 6 for example, so it takes up half the page. What has been happening is the datalabels are too long and so are being cropped out of the containing div.
A fix that has been proposed for this is to set a width on the datalabels.
like so:
pie: {
size: '60%',
allowPointSelect: true,
dataLabels: {
style:{
width:100
color:'black'
}
}
}
}
This works flawlessly for Chrome and mozilla, the width is set and the position of the datalabel changes so its all drawn closer to the pie chart. But when testing in IE8, (and I have to account for it unfortunately) the width is set, but it appears that the position of the datalabel is not changing, so I get even less of the data label visible on the screen.
I'll try get a jsfiddle or a screenshot up shortly so you can see what I mean, but initially I was just seeing if anyone had come across this issue before, or if there's a simple fix I am just missing.
Jsfiddle
I've commented out the width in the plot options so you can see what's happening.
When I uncomment the width, it renders perfectly in Chrome and mozilla. But in IE8, the position of the label doesn't change, so the left labels end up far away from the pie chart and still cropped.

I'm using Highcharts to create a negative-stack according to its document. My language is Persian (Farsi) so I'm using RTL direction overall the project. My problem doesn't limit to negative-stack type, but all charts with xAxis & yAxis.When I open the index.html file at first I'll face with axis labels overlap the chart as you see in the attached image-1, but after a refresh, it will be aligned properly according to the attached image-2.

Looks like it's caused by the fontFamily.
After changing that property, everything works as expected.
chart: {
style: {
fontFamily: "iranyekan"
}
},

I am working on legacy code from a previous developer and they used highcharts.js (v3.0.1). The xAxis is landing within the graph (screenshot) and I can't sort out why this is. I tried to recreate this in jsfiddle but I can't get that axis to move. I thought that maybe it was a bug in the version but I can't get it to replicate so I'm thinking that is has to be something within the sites own CSS that is manipulating it, however, it's built with g, rect, and text tags which I don't see in any of the custom CSS files.
I've looked through other Highchart.js posts on here but I haven't seen this issue posted yet. Does anyone know what I'm missing?
EDIT: I forgot to mention this but all the usernames are centered text-center
Check exactly how xAxis labels are aligned. As I can see they are rotated vertically so it is important to set appropriate labels align property:
xAxis: {
categories: ['Apple', 'Samsung', 'Dell', 'Lenovo'],
labels: {
align: 'left',
rotation: 90
}
}
Demo:
- labels align center: https://jsfiddle.net/wchmiel/29b4qejc/
- labels align left: https://jsfiddle.net/wchmiel/56evyrxj/
Api reference:
https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/xAxis.labels.align
are you use the labels padding ?
https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/xAxis.labels.padding
Be sure that the number is greater than 0.
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.

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.
For a statistics/monitoring tool we use google charts graphs to show messages and errors from an application. Those messages are shown in labels of a graphics on the vertical axis but most of the times the messagetexts are too long, having too much characters to be fit in the label. They get shortcutted by ... in the end but what we actually want is that they are wordwrapped or if that is not possible, manually linebreaked with html br tags. Too bad, those are just ignored by the google chart labels.
My question is, is there a way to break the messagetexts over multiple lines instead of getting shortcutted with ... at the end? If so, how can this be done? I already found the possibility for this for the horizontal axis here, but we want it to have it for the vertical axis. If it is possible of course.
I also tried to make a fiddler example but it seems fiddler can't handle google graphs that well. When I made the text as long as in our tool, the whole graphics just disappeared.
The text labels for tick values of axes, both horizontal and vertical, cannot currently be wrapped across multiple lines. The best you can do is arrange that there is more space for the labels by using a combination of the width and chartArea: { width and left } options, for the vertical axis, or height and chartArea: { height and top } options.
Here is a jsfiddle that demonstrates this: http://jsfiddle.net/dlaliberte/cNRn3/ with a bar chart. The key option is this:
chartArea: { left: 300 }
I tried to decrease the font size and it worked for me. adjust font size according to your need, making font small will make it automatically multi-line
<Chart
chartType='ColumnChart'
width="100%"
height="800px"
data={this.state.graphData}
options={{
fontSize: 11
}}
/>
