对于不同宽度的图表，使等距

Question

I made a drilldown bar chart where the bars have different pointWidth.I want to have different widths for each bar because they have different percentage range. But after I drew it, I found they have regular interval but uneven distribution. The blank space between bars are not equally and I cannot see all the bars.

I also tried pointPadding, but I still feel the space between the bars is too wide.So I decided to use pointwidth in this code in order to customize bar width.

I wonder how to make the interval between them equally so I can see all the bars aligning perfectly. Or maybe using pointPadding but shorten the blank space between bars.

Here is the code.

 Highcharts.chart('container', { chart: { type: 'column' }, title: { text: 'Demo Demo Demo', margin:50 }, xAxis: { type: 'category', title: { enabled: true, text: "Percentage Range" } }, yAix: {

Answer 1

There is dedicated region in the chart where the columns are rendered.If that column width is increased then it will overlap each other.So safe side use pointPadding to give desired width with in region. So again coming to shorten the blank space between bars this is also not possible as mentioned above.
