I am using a pie chart for my diagram. The problems is sometimes the text or the name of a category is really long and it makes my pie chart gets smaller than usual.
How I can set a width limitation for each text?
This is my pie chart with a long category name:

Answered here, and here is a fiddle that demonstrates.
In brief - you can add a style to the dataLabels:
style: {
width: '50px'
}

I have a HighCharts Pie chart configured as a "donut" style, and I set the title "verticalAlign" to "middle" but this seems to center the title in the whole area taken up by the chart (including the legend) which is fine for a few data points, but once the chart has many points added, the title starts overlapping the colored segments and even the legend. Is there a way to center the title in just the donut?
Example:
Highcharts has quite a number of ways to adjust the style. Not clear how you display your title, but it seems that the problem is in the height of your legend. One way to go is to adjust the 'y' parameter of the title to move title a little:
title: {
text: 'A title to move',
align: 'center',
verticalAlign: 'middle',
y: -20,
}
Drawback is that it may not fill all the possible chart content, so you have to somehow estimate how much you want to adjust the 'y'.

After much trial and error, the final solution for my specific use-case involved:
Fixing the 'chart.spacingTop' parameter to 10 pixels. This fixed the top of the chart so it wouldn't dynamically change in the vertical space.
Setting 'plotOptions.pie.size' to '250px'. This fixed the pie size to 250px regardless of how many points were shown.
Setting 'plotOptions.pie.center' to '['50%', 105]'. This centered the chart at 50% width, 105px from the top.
Limiting my series to 24 data points max (to avoid a legend that was too long to manage)
Finally, I created a <div> right before the chart container that allowed me to use CSS to set it relative to the chart, positioning my label right in the center of the donut.
The result:
Is it possible in highcharts to make the chart width, the plotting area the same width whether there are labels or not?
For example, both these charts have width 150 but one looks thinner than the other because it has the labels enabled.
I can do this programmatically but it is a bit messy. Is there a way?. I tried, for example, to set the label as enabled but not visible but this combination of options does not exist.
Thanks for any help
You can set fixed chart margin:
chart: {
marginBottom: 20
}

Following this demo here (http://www.highcharts.com/docs/chart-and-series-types/combining-chart-types) I am trying to have a Pie chart and a bar chart on the same page.
The catch is I would like the Pie chart to be large on the left and then the bar chart on the right. I see the code to move the pie chart around, but I cannot figure out how to do the same with the bar chart, as it seems to want to span the entire container width. I understand that I could have two independent charts and place them in their own floating DIVs, but since the combining of charts is possible, I thought this would be a viable option.
You can set chart.marginLeft to half of the chart width. And set pie.center x coordinate to a negative value.
chart: {
marginLeft: 400
},
series: [{
center: ['-75%', '50%'],

I am using highcharts 3D pie and if some label is a little bit long it does not resize correctly.
Here it is an example which I have taken from highcharts documentation and forked it for getting large labels.
http://jsfiddle.net/78wr256o/
It is important to mention that I would prefer to display the whole name and not cropping it. Resizing correctly the chart, keeping it centered and moving labels position if it is possible.
This is the initial version:
This is exactly the same chart but with a large label:
You can use html and css to format data labels.
series: [{...
dataLabels: {
useHTML: true,
style: {
"width": "30px"
}
......
Here is an example http://jsfiddle.net/8d517w3v/
It doesn't crop rather wrap labels around and make graph centered.
I am having an issue when trying to make long legend labels to fit inside the canvas. Please have a look at the fiddle
I can't find any options or fixes for this.
How can I make the long labels to fit inside the plot area? Please advice.
Simply set width for legend and for items, to tell Highcharts what is proper width. Example: http://jsfiddle.net/Fusher/xvpj7frs/3/
legend: {
width: 300,
itemStyle: {
width: '250px'
}
},
Of course that solution has limitation - legend isn't responsive anymore.
