How to prevent splitting of Highcharts categories?
If the space is too tight, the axis labels are truncated. I am dealing with variable categories, so I would prefer that they overlap rather than disappear.
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/z1axtk31/
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'bar'
},
title: {
text: 'Historic World Population by Region'
},
subtitle: {
text: 'Source: Wikipedia.org'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Sub-saharan Africa', 'North America', 'South America', 'East Asia', 'Middle East', 'Europe', 'Oceania', 'Ancapistan', 'North Africa', 'Mordor', 'Atlantis'],
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: ((Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.legendBackgroundColor) || '#FFFFFF'),
shadow: true
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Year 1800',
data: [107, 31, 635, 203, 2, 45, 23, 201, 50, 89, 210]
}/*, {
name: 'Year 1900',
data: [133, 156, 947, 408, 6, 45, 23, 166, 50, 20, 110]
}, {
name: 'Year 2008',
data: [973, 914, 4054, 732, 34, 45, 23, 20, 50, 133, 100]
}*/]
});
});
