I am creating a chart and have so far found that a scatter and errorbar combination chart is the best fit. I have hit a problem when adding an extra pair of series that because I have used a scatter, that they are placed on top of each other.
This is the standard view for the chart which is correct:
This is what I WANT to happen when I add an extra pair of series data:
But this is what happens:

I have taken a look through the API and I have tried to use other chart types like Line and Column and although they do align correctly, the error bar pretty much disappears because those chart types start from zero. I've also tried pointPlacement but that just moves them both into the middle. Is what I am trying to do just not possible using a scatter?
You should use pointPlacement, but set per particular series. I prepared a minified demo for you:
series: [{
type: 'scatter',
pointPlacement:-0.2,
data: [51,73]
},{
type: 'scatter',
pointPlacement:0.2,
data: [8,7.6]
},{
type: 'errorbar',
pointPlacement:-0.2,
data: [[48, 51], [68, 73]]
}, {
type: 'errorbar',
pointPlacement:0.2,
data: [[6, 8], [5.9, 7.6]]
}]

I am using dual-axis highcharts. In the y-axis the values are too big to read. I wold like to convert them to shortcuts like 1K for 1000 and 1.0L for 100000 and 1.0M for 1000000 and 35.8M for 35869982 and 3.5M for 3550977.

Here I have rounded up where I want to make changes in the below figure
You need to make a use of formatter:
formatter: function(){
return this.value/1000000 + "M";
}
Fiddle
To utilize the built in "shortening" functionality you can just remove your yAxis.label.format. You have currently set it to {value}, which is the default, but manually setting it seems to prevent the metric prefixes from being applied.
Look at this JSFiddle example, where all I've changed is removing the following line from both of your y-axis labels:
format: '{value}'
With this automatic shortening the following metric prefixes may be applied:
[ "k" , "M" , "G" , "T" , "P" , "E"]
You can set your own values with the lang.numericSymbols option (API).
I have this annoying thing in Highcharts that I cannot figure out. I have graphs that are dynamically generated and can contain multiple columns and splines. In the example the spline is a temperature measurement and contains lots of data points. The two columns are grouped by day and therefore contain only one value per day.
When I use this combination the column width becomes almost invisible:

I have been searching for ways to dynamically control the width of columns by using pointWidth but this gets me into a hole new area of issues, as I am not always sure if there is a combination of columns and splines and what the date range is.
Is there a trick to solve this? I hope I have missed something simple.
I was reading through the API description of Highcharts when I noticed an option to have multiple x axis. Since my problem seemed to be related to scaling on the x axis I decided to give it a go...
I created a new x axis for the line data and it works like a charm. Of course we do not want to see multiple x axis, so a little fiddling with the settings hides it again.
My x axis definition now looks like this:
xAxis: [{
type: 'datetime',
},{
type: 'datetime',
lineWidth: 0,
minorGridLineWidth: 0,
lineColor: 'transparent',
opposite: true,
labels: {
enabled: false
},
minorTickLength: 0,
tickLength: 0
}],
On the data series that has 'too many' points I simply added 'xAxis: 1'.
Fiddle here : http://jsfiddle.net/AM4vx/
I am using HighCharts for a line graph and i am attemping to change the line color for each series. I did find this example here but the data is hard coded. My data is pulled from an Sql database and passed to the HTML page using some VB code.
var chart;
$(document).ready(function () {
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
defaultSeriesType: 'column'
},
title: {
text: 'Chart Title'
},
subtitle: {
text: 'Chart subtitle'
},
xAxis: {
categories: [<%= GraphDate %>]
,
labels:
{
rotation: -45,
align: 'right',
style:
{
}
}
},
yAxis: {
min: 160,
title: {
text: 'Temp'
}
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF',
align: 'left',
verticalAlign: 'top',
x: 400,
y: 0,
floating: true,
shadow: true
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function () {
return '' +
this.x + ': ' + this.y + ' ºC';
}
},
plotOptions: {
column: {
pointPadding: 0.2,
borderWidth: 0
}
},
series:
[<%= GraphSeries %>],
});
I tried to style it using the other post however it failed to generate a chart. The main problem is though, the line graph has two series, so the below method would set the color for both series i assume? So, would i maybe need to format the series in my vb code somehow?
series: [{
color: 'yellow',
data: [
[<%= GraphSeries %>]
]},
Edit:
$(document).ready(function () {
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
colors: ['#4572A7', '#AA4643', '#89A54E', '#80699B', '#3D96AE', '#DB843D', '#92A8CD', '#A47D7C', '#B5CA92']
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
defaultSeriesType: 'column'
}
Top level config can contain colors field. It's an array from which series colors will be picked.
See here.
Here's working piece from my project
var chart;
$(document).ready(function () {
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart:{
renderTo:'perfchart',
type:'line',
marginRight:130,
marginBottom:25
},
colors: ['#0000FF', '#0066FF', '#00CCFF'],
title:{
text:'Historical system performance',
x:-20 //center
},
Appearance:
See the code (and the plot that it renders) below.
The snippet below is a complete script--i.e., either put it in your markup between two script tags or as a stand-along js file with an includes in your markup.
Colors is a Chart object so the easiest way is to pass an array of colors (as hex strings):
$(function () {
var chart;
$(document).ready(function() {
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'line'
},
colors: ['#562F1E', '#AF7F24', '#263249', '#5F7F90', '#D9CDB6'],
title: {
text: false
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: false
}
},
series: [{
name: 'series I',
data: [17.4, 16.1, 19.45, 24.15, 28.44, 33.15, 37.2, 41.25, 43.3]
},
{
name: 'series II',
data: [13.19, 17.23, 25.74, 28.5, 33.9, 35.62, 37.0, 36.6, 34.82]
}
]
});
});
})
The color can be configured as part of the series. Try something like this:
series: [
{
name: 'series I',
color: '#ffffff',
data: [17.4, 16.1, 19.45, 24.15, 28.44, 33.15, 37.2, 41.25, 43.3]
}
];
