I want to reduce space between bar chart series data. Below mentioned is the image which gives a clear picture :
Can anyone suggest the best approach to do it?
$(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: 100,
floating: true,
borderWidth: 1,
backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF',
shadow: true
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Year 1800',
data: [107, 31, 635],
pointWidth: 22,
}, {
name: 'Year 1900',
data: [133, 156, 947],
pointWidth: 22
}]
});
});
The options you want to play with are pointPadding (padding between bars) and groupPadding (padding between seies).
e.g.
plotOptions: {
series: {
pointPadding: 0,
groupPadding: 0.1,
}
},
