I try to create dynamic highcharts. I use series.addPoint. It works fine but my chart adds points and doesn't move like here - jsfiddle. It can be with 100 points on the screen.
How can I make only 10 points on the screen and hide old points?

Series.addPoint()'s third argument is a boolean that enables shifting. If your series is not shifting, try setting the third parameter to true.
As for the second part, are you sure you want to "hide" old data? Generally old data should be shifted off the end in a real time graph (which I assume is what you're going for). If you have too many points, you can make your x-axis smaller via Axis.setExtremes(). http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#Axis

I have to program a machine with multiple values throughout the day, and besides, I need to graph a line with these values for intermediate values. To this should link the last point on the graph with the first.
At the moment I created an extra point at the start and end to repeat the last and the first value respectively but in the next day and the previous.
But the problem comes when I change these values and I want to render the graphic (it is an AngularJS application with draggable points plugin in future versions), for example when set the first point to 23:00. I should modify several points, including the extra, but it's very hard, because some of these points are calculated (circles), in fact, only have 3 points in this chart (squares)...
Is there any way to avoid these additional points (at the begining and the end) and use only those with real or calculated values? Have Highcharts some property to create a 24h "cyclic linear chart" or something similar?
Thanks a lot!
I was developing a solution for another question here on Stack Overflow (see Highcharts : selection) that has some simple slider elements (using input type="range") to change the categories shown in a column chart. Whenever the user changes the range in either slider element, the chart is redrawn using setExtremes().
I noticed that, in some instances, some of the x-axis labels disappeared, even when I moved the sliders back to their original positions. I've tinkered with a number of x-axis settings, including minPadding, startOnTick, and tickInterval, and none of them seem to solve "The Case of the Missing Labels."
The first screenshot below shows the chart when it's first loaded. All of the x-axis labels are present.
The second screenshot below shows the chart when I change one of the sliders. Some of the x-axis labels are now missing. It looks like they're being staggered.
Here's where the plot thickens: if I adjust the sliders to some other values, all of the labels come back:
Here's the fiddle I developed so you can see a live example of this behavior: https://jsfiddle.net/brightmatrix/uvat8u05/
I'm curious to know why this is happening, and what settings I could use to ensure that all x-axis labels are shown, regardless of what values the user chooses in the sliders.
Thank you very much!
Update: The responses from both Max Uppenkamp and Grzegorz Blachliński are valid and helpful solutions. What I also discovered by chance was that explicitly setting the slider values to integers using parseInt() solved this issue as well. It also helps in comparing both values to make sure a user doesn't choose an end date that is earlier than the start date.
This seems to be intended behavior of Highcharts, however inconsistent it may be.
According to this this should be fixed in current versions of Highcharts, but you might as well try this tick formatter solution.
Edit: If the above doesn't work for you, you might be able to solve the issue by rotating your labels:

I have a chart with numerical values on the X-axis, and I would like to "shift" its contents to the right, i.e. I want to increment each of the X-axis values by 1. I know that, in theory, I can just remove my current chart and make another one with the augmented X-axis, but is there another way without that step, somehow dynamically editing the axis values?
you need to use add point method. refer http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#Series.addPoint
chart.series[0].addPoint();

I have tried using all sorts of combinations of tickInterval, tickPixelInterval label formatter and tickPositioner and I haven't been able to solve this issue.
I have a chart builder that pulls in different feeds and allows the user to modify the date range of those feeds before shooting this data into highcharts and spitting out the chart.
The problem is that some of the time, the first and/or last dates get cut off. Here is an example:
Without adjusting the margins of the chart (which causes the chart to take up less space), how do I prevent this from happening?
If I was able to determine the pixel location of the ticks and their labels, I could in theory, hide the specific ticks and their corresponding labels which were located outside the graph / cut off. Thoughts?
Without looking at your code - there are a few things you can do.
Rotate your labels
Play around with the x/y axis labels
Align them to the right
Hopefully one of these would help your cause.
So I am trying to devise a way to create a nifty chart in which the user can zoom. I want to try to create an effect that as the user zooms, the data will become more granular. For example, say we are looking at a count on a date/time.
when you're at default zoom, which is say 3 months, you will see 1 data point every 24 hours. I am trying to get it as you zoom in, and see a smaller chunk for that data to get more granular. Like if you're looking at a day, each hour will get its own data point.
Do you all think it's possible to achieve an effect like this using Jquery Flot? I have all of the data broken down into hours at the beginning, it's just a matter of calculating how much of it should be shown.
I already have the zoom functionality working, but just need to figure out how to make the data change as well.
Thanks!
Flot won't do this automatically; you would have to register a callback on zoom that iterates over the original array to pick out, i.e. every nth sample, then redraws the plot using the results.
