Question

I’m trying to align columns to the left in my chart. By default they are in the middle.

I can’t find anything about this in the API documentation.

Here is a jsFiddle test.

Answer 1

In the highcharts api, have you examined the group padding feature?
http://www.highcharts.com/ref/#plotOptions-column–groupPadding

plotOptions: {
    series: {
        groupPadding: 0
    }
},

If the columns appear too wide when you set the groupPadding to 0,
you can still play with the pointPadding. http://www.highcharts.com/ref/#plotOptions-column–pointPadding

(If that doesn’t fit your needs, I guess I’m a bit perplexed,
because I don’t see how having chart columns aligned to the left,
then followed by a big blank space on the right, would make
for a well-designed chart…)
