Hi guys!

I'm new to highcharts and I want to know if something like this is possible: http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/6537/sample1w.png

I haven't found anything similar in the showcase so I thought someone more experienced could let me know how to accomplish this.

Thank you very much

GWT Highcharts does support plot lines/bands that you may be able to use to accomplish something similar to what you're showing there. Example here:

In addition, GWT Highcharts also supports adding arbitrary "label items" to a charts. Details here:

Awesome!

One last question, is there a way I can change the spaces between the bars? to make it feel like they're grouped, like in the example I showed you.

thank you very much for your time!

No problem! Yeah, you can definitely change the spacing between the bars. Check out the various plot options, and in particular those related to padding:

Note that grouping is also built in. Here are a couple of examples you can reference:

Best of luck!

Hi again! I have another related question about this chart http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/6537/sample1w.png .

Unfortunately I couldn't figure a good way of placing the labels on the top of the desired groped bars other than counting the pixels, which makes it look off depending on the amount of groups in the chart.

Is there a more efficient/easiest way accomplish this?

Thanks a lot!

Given that this is more of a general Highcharts question, you'll probably have better luck checking with them first. If you have trouble figuring out how to convert the Highcharts syntax into GWT using the wrapper though, just let us know.
