I am making a box plot in highchart, that can show between 1 and 6 objects. Unfortunately, high chart scales the size width the number of objects, so while my chart looks good when there are 6 objects it looks really bad when there are only 1 or 2 because the box plot ends up being too big and stretched horizontally. Is there a way to fix the size so that the boxes look the same regardless of the number of objects?
Use maxPointWidth or pointWidth option to control the box plot width.
Highcharts.chart('container', {
series: [{
type: 'boxplot',
maxPointWidth: 50,
data: [
[760, 801, 848, 895, 965]
]
}]
});
