Bar chart label alignment for all the zero values

I am using high-chart library for bar chart. Everything is working fine except one thing.
When all the values in bar are 'ZERO', the alignment has changed into right side. I want to make it left align. For any non zero values it's working as expected.
Here is the Fiddle
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',
align:'left'
}
},
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.theme && Highcharts.theme.legendBackgroundColor) || '#FFFFFF'),
shadow: true
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Year 1800',
data: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
}]
});
Any help would be appreciated.

If all values are 0, then max can not be calculated, so Highcharts will render values in the middle. You can force labels to be rendered on the left by setting yAxis.max or yAxis.softMax, demo: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/mvp1ebsj/1/

data label is not shown Highcharts

I'm trying to show datalabels. but DATALABEL the black bar is not shown. why?
http://jsfiddle.net/o4pt855e/
other bars are displayed well. I take this opportunity to ask how I can put a condition ?. if the value is less than 5, the DATALABEL be shown to the left, otherwise the right.
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'bar'
},
title: {
text: 'Mi EPS'
},
xAxis: {
//categories: ["number1", "number2", "number3", "number4","number5"],
title: {
text: null
},
labels: {
// align: 'center',
x: -5,
y: -20,
useHTML: true,
format: '<div style="position: absolute; left: 40px"> my labelL is very large ***************************************this in other line! </div> <img style="height: 30px; width: 30px; margin-top: 10px" src="https://cdn2.iconfinder.com/data/icons/free-3d-printer-icon-set/512/Plastic_model.png"></img>'
}
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Resultado',
align: 'right'
}
},
tooltip: {
valueSuffix: ' dollars'
},
plotOptions: {
bar: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
align: 'left',
color: '#FFFFFF',
inside: true,
crop: false,
overflow:"none",
formatter: function() {
return this.series.name+ " "+ this.y;
console.log(this.series.name);
},
style:{
width:100
}
}
}
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
align: 'center',
verticalAlign: 'bottom',
x: -40,
y:40 ,
floating: true,
borderWidth: 1,
backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF',
shadow: true
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Mejor Eps',
data: [1000, 950,920,880,850],
color: "#FF0000"
}, {
name: 'Mi Eps',
data: [800,770,750,740,730],
color: "#000000"
}, {
name: 'Peor Eps',
data: [600,540,535,500,0],
color: "#00FF00"
}]
});
});

Defaulty each datalabel has a padding and when overlaps other label then is hidden. So you need to set padding as 0 and allowOverlap option as true.
plotOptions: {
bar: {
dataLabels: {
padding:0,
allowOverlap:true,
enabled: true,
align: 'left',
color: '#FFFFFF',
inside: true,
crop: false,
overflow:"none",
formatter: function() {
return this.series.name+ " "+ this.y;
console.log(this.series.name);
},
style:{
width:100
}
}
}
},

Cannot get Highcharts to show in 3D with data from mysql database

What do I need to do to make this chart work with 3D options? I have everything connected properly and it shows the charts in 2D just fine.
When I add the options3d like in the example below it throws an error that the identifier is depreciated.
options3d: {
enabled: true,
alpha: 15,
beta: 15,
depth: 50,
viewDistance: 25
}
Here is what I have tried with no luck, I commented out the 3D portion because that was the only way it worked with my data query:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var options = {
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'column',
marginRight: 75,
marginBottom: 25
//options3d: {
// enabled: true,
//alpha: 15,
//beta: 15,
// depth: 50,
// viewDistance: 25
// }
},
title: {
text: 'Contributions to Filers by Year',
x: -20 //center
},
subtitle: {
text: '',
x: -20
},
xAxis: {
categories: []
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Money Contributed to Filers'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function() {
return '<b>'+ this.series.name +'</b><br/>'+
this.x +': '+ this.y;
}
},
legend: {
layout: 'horizontal',
align: 'left',
verticalAlign: 'top',
x: -10,
y: 100,
borderWidth: 0
},
plotOptions: {
column: {
stacking: 'normal',
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.dataLabelsColor) || 'white'
}
}
},
series: []
}
$.getJSON("/charts/data/filers-test.php", function(json) {
options.xAxis.categories = json[0]['data'];
options.series[0] = json[1];
chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
});
});
</script>

Since no one was able to help me with this, I figured it out on my own with trial and error. Here is the script I used to get the final working result from the server. This produces a nice 3D highchart that can show the data properly. I may need to edit it a few more times before it is actually used...
$(document).ready(function() {
var options = {
// basic chart options
chart: {
height: 350,
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'column',
marginRight: 130,
lang: {
thousandsSep: ','
},
marginBottom: 25,
// 3D initialization, comment out for non-3D columns
options3d: {
enabled: true,
alpha: 0,
beta: 2,
depth: 50,
viewDistance: 25
}
},
// main chart title (TOP)
title: {
text: 'Contributions to Filers',
x: -20 //center
},
// main chart sub-title (TOP)
subtitle: {
text: '',
x: -20
},
// xAxis title
xAxis: {
reversed: true,
title: {
text: 'Election Year'
},
categories: [],
reversed: true
},
// yAxis title
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Dollar Amount'
},
// chart options for each plotted point
plotLines: [{
value: 1,
width: 1,
color: '#66837B'
}]
},
// tooltip on hover options
tooltip: {
lang: {
thousandsSep: ','
},
formatter: function() {
return '<b>'+ this.series.name +'</b><br/>'+
this.x +': '+ this.y;
}
},
legend: {
layout: 'horizontal',
align: 'left',
verticalAlign: 'top',
x: 0,
y: 0,
borderWidth: 0,
},
plotOptions: {
bar: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
color: '#F2C45A'
}
},
series: {
text: 'Total Dollar Amount',
color: '#66837B',
cursor: 'pointer'
},
column: {
stacking: 'normal',
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.dataLabelsColor) || '#F2C45A'
}
}
},
series: []
}
Highcharts.setOptions({
// sets comma for thousands separator
lang: {
thousandsSep: ','
}
});
$.getJSON("/charts/data/filers-test.php", function(json) {
options.xAxis.categories = json[0]['data'];
options.series[0] = json[1];
chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
chart.legend.allItems[0].update({name:'Total by Election Year'}); ///// LEGEND LABEL CHANGES HERE!
});
});

how to add comma between the digit (as a label )

I am working on high chart .I want to add comma between the digit (as a label ).I am using high chart
http://jsfiddle.net/xpLgj7n5/
As shown in image there is gap between 0 and 7 .I understand this , it is because number represent the thousand. I need to add comma between them ",".I need to display numbers like this "10,700" when I change the data nothing happen
I change the data like this
data: [10,700, 31,00, 63,500, 20,300, 2,000]
nothing happen.
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
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.theme && Highcharts.theme.legendBackgroundColor) || '#FFFFFF'),
shadow: true
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Year 1800',
data: [10700, 3100, 63500, 20300, 2000]
}]
});
});

Refer to documentation
Highcharts.setOptions({
lang: {
thousandsSep: ','
}
});
Fiddle

That may work, but this also works:
plotOptions: {
line: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
format: '${y:,.2f}'
}
}
}
$ - for dollar sign
Y - for y axis
, - adds a comma where a space would be
2f - two digits after decimal point
ex: format: '${y:,.2f}' would show up as $10,000.00

HighCharts: How to put the xAxis category text inside the chart

I'm working with Highcharts and I'm not being able to accomplish something. Here is what I want:
As you can see, the text for each bar is on top of the bar.
Here is the version that I've been working on:
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'bar'
},
title: {
text: 'APPROVED SPEND TO DATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013: $17,360,612'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Intellectual Property', 'Antitrust/Competition'],
title: {
text: null
}
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
title: {
text: 'Approved spend',
align: 'high'
},
labels: {
overflow: 'justify'
}
},
tooltip: {
valueSuffix: ' dollars'
},
plotOptions: {
bar: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: false
}
}
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
align: 'right',
verticalAlign: 'top',
x: -40,
y: 100,
floating: true,
borderWidth: 1,
backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF',
shadow: true
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Year 2013',
data: [6000123, 3743653]
}]
});
});
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/WcKvz/1/
As you can see, I'm only having the text in the left side of the bar and I can't get it right.
Any ideas? Thank you

The only way I've seen this work is with stackedLabels. You can use them even if you aren't using stacked bars since you only have one series.
...
plotOptions: {
bar: {
stacking: 'normal'
}
},
yAxis: {
stackLabels: {
formatter: function() {
return this.axis.chart.xAxis[0].categories[this.x] + ': $' + this.total;
},
enabled: true,
verticalAlign: 'top',
align: 'left',
y: -5
},
...
