How to add extra tears(ticks) in highcharts?

Question

HIGH CHARTS

In addition to this question, I would like to ask another question here in this thread.

How to add extra tears(ticks), in such a way, the green bar dataLabel, does stay inside plotting area, rather, going out of plotting area or made hidden. JSFIDDLE

Answer 1

There are lots of ways to do this. But quickest one is adding a max value to yAxis with using yAxis.max.

yAxis: {
        allowDecimals: false,
        max: 6000
    },

Here is the working example: jsFiddle.

OR

You can use the combination of yAxis.tickAmount and yAxis.tickInterval like this;

yAxis: {
        allowDecimals: false,
        tickAmount: 10,
        tickInterval: 1000
    },

Here is the working example: jsFiddle.

Answer 2

Besides setting a new max property or trying a different combination of ticks, you can simply set overflow property with 'none' value and crop with false. This way you can display data labels outside the plot area.
