I have a highstock area spline chart with categories on the Y-axis. No points on the chart will ever go over the Top category, but I have an unwanted space above the top category 'Alarm'.
My Y-axis contains min and max which I use to always display all of the categories. If I set the max to 8 I lose the Alarm Category and the empty line is still there.
Here is my Y-Axis code
yAxis: {
categories: ['Unknown', 'State 1', 'Disarmed', 'Armed', 'Service Timed', 'Unauthorised', 'Alert', 'Watch', 'Alarm'],
min: 0,
max: 9,
title: {
useHTML: true,
text: 'Alert Type'
},
opposite: false,
labels: {
x: 0,
y: 8
},
},
Is there anyway which I can only display enough 'lines' for my Y-axis categories and no unwanted lines which will never be used?
All help is appreciated.

Right off the bat here is the desired chart in ChartJS.
We have two x-axes. One showing power from a meter and the other showing meter state over time (open, closed, or in standby) In both datasets the X axis is Unix time. The power Y axis is numerical and the state x axis is one of the three state categories. Both are drawn in lines.
To get right to the point: how do I do this in Highcharts? I have the second axis set up:
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime'
},
yAxis: [
{
title: {
text: 'Real Power'
}
},
{
type: 'category', //I have also removed this line
title: {
text: 'state'
},
categories: ['closed', 'standby', 'open']
}
],
Any attempt to set the Y axis value to a string in highcharts results in a well known: https://www.highcharts.com/errors/14/
Furthermore online I only seem to find categories on the X axis. Any help getting to the right place is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You can't use a string as x value, use a number instead, for example:
series: [{
...
}, {
...,
yAxis: 1,
data: [1, 0, 2, 1]
}],
yAxis: [{
...
}, {
title: {
text: 'state'
},
categories: ['closed', 'standby', 'open'],
min: 0,
max: 2
}]

I have three Y axis and two of which has got multiple spline series to be shown. My data is a time series data and it is all working as expected. Just that the labels of one of the Y axis is mixing up with chart area.

You can resolve it by setting appropriate yAxis.offset:
yAxis: [{
title: {
text: "POAI [W/m2]"
},
opposite: true,
offset: 70,
min: 0,
labels: {
format: "{value} W/m2"
}
}]

I am using highcharts with angular 4.
I want to create a chart to show the result something like this:
Where:
GHRM and HR Scanner are application name.
We are showing some data groupwise (application wise here)
To achieve the above result I have tried using columnrange chart type in highcharts.
But the result of above link differs from my requirement. As you can see the result of above link:
Can any one help me to know how I can customize the categories view in this case to achieve the result as shown in first screen shot.
Getting that kind of look with grouped categories plugin would be a rather a hard task to accomplish.
Another approach is using a separate x axis for each set of categories (GHRM and HR Scanner in your case).
Axes can be positioned via left & top properties and sized via height properties. These options are not documented yet but they work. They accept relative values in percents (e.g. 30%) and absolute values in pixels (e.g. 200px).
xAxis: [{
categories: ['Category 1'],
tickWidth: 0,
height: '30%',
offset: 0,
title: {
text: 'First x axis',
rotation: 0,
align: 'high'
}
}, {
categories: ['Category 2', 'Category 3'],
tickWidth: 0,
height: '60%',
top: '40%',
offset: 0,
title: {
align: 'high',
text: 'Second x axis',
rotation: 0
}
}],
plotOptions: {
series: {
grouping: false,
groupPadding: 0,
pointPadding: 0,
borderWidth: 0
}
},
series: [{
data: [
[1, 7]
],
}, {
data: [
[2, 4],
[3, 8]
],
xAxis: 1
}]
Live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/s3k3s944/
grouping has to be disabled so that columns are always centered. pointPadding, groupPadding and borederWidth force columns to occupy maximum vertical range.
All other options of axes configuration can be found in the Highcharts API: https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/
I have a problem with Highcharts where the Ceiling of one of my two y-axes is not being respected.
Y-axis "1" represents percentage values, so has a Floor of 0 and a Ceiling of 100.
Y-axis "2" represents monetary values, so has a Floor of 0 and a Ceiling of null.
For some reason, the labels for y-axis "1" go up to 150.
If I change the corresponding series data so that the value 0 is changed to 20, the problem seems to go away and the labels stop at 100 as they should.
var dataX = [0, 67, 43, 100, 100, 80];
var dataY = [950, 900, 807, 650, 600, 450];
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
series: [{
name: 'Series 1',
data: dataX,
yAxis: 0},
{
name: 'Series 2',
data: dataY,
yAxis: 1}],
yAxis: [{
floor: 0,
ceiling: 100,
title: {
text: '1'
},
},
{
floor: 0,
ceiling: null,
title: {
text: '2'
},
opposite: true}]});});

Can anyone explain why this is happening?
I had a similar problem, but I found that using the following solves the issue:
maxPadding: 0,
minPadding: 0,
The default for these values are both 0.05 so that will be added to your data and cause highstock to make the y axis bigger than intended. Zeroing them out seems to fix the problem for me.
I also recommend to set the following so that maximum value still has a label:
showLastLabel: true,

From Highcharts API:
When using multiple axis, the ticks of two or more opposite axes will automatically be aligned by adding ticks to the axis or axes with the least ticks. This can be prevented by setting alignTicks to false. If the grid lines look messy, it's a good idea to hide them for the secondary axis by setting gridLineWidth to 0. Defaults to true.
I have updated your fiddle with these corrections.
chart: {
alignTicks: false
},
...
yAxis: [{
...
gridLineWidth: 0,
...

You can always create your own tickPositioner, or set directly tickPositions: http://jsfiddle.net/2bzew/4/

I have created a basic boxplot using highcharts and it shows me the values for maximum, max quartile, median, min quartile and minimum when I hover the mouse over the box plot. I want to somehow display these values in the plot itself beside each of the lines.
I checked out the api and found that "dataLabel" would help but this is not supported for the boxplot. Could someone enlighten me on how to achieve this?
Thanks.
Not possible out of the box, but as mentioned by Steve Gu achievable by scatter. You can even ignore the formatter and disable the marker alltogether:
{
series: [
{
type: 'scatter',
tooltip: {
enabled: false
},
dataLabels: {
format: '{key}',
enabled: true,
y: 0,
},
data: [{ x: 0, y: 975, name: '975'}],
marker: {
enabled: false,
}
}
]
}
just disable marker and set format to key.
Add another data series, which is a type of "Scatter" and apply the data labels to this series using Marker. The trick is to use the same fill color as your background color and 0 line width so the marker will not be visible and only the label will be shown.
{
name: 'Outlier',
color: 'white',
type: 'scatter',
data: [ // x, y positions where 0 is the first category
{
name: 'This is my label for the box',
x:0, //box index. first one is 0.
y:975 //it will be bigger than the maximum value of of the box
}
],
dataLabels : {
align: 'left',
enabled : true,
formatter : function() {
return this.point.name;
},
y: 10,
},
marker: {
fillColor: 'white',
lineWidth: 0,
lineColor: 'white'
}
}
Unfortunately this option is not supported, only what you can do is use renderer to add custom text inside chart, but I'm aware that it can be not comfortable solution. http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#Renderer.text()
