grouped x-axis
Like Excel does when you use 2 columns for the labels.See example on http://minus.com/mHNwVqDZO.
Each item on the category axis falls in a group. The groups are displayed below the axis items. Each group name is displayed only once (centered below all its items). Groups are devided by longer tickmarks.
Each group can contain a different number of items.
Possible uses:
* display structured categories like product and product group or country and region
* display two or more groups side by side, like gross sales and net sales, or this year and last year.
Black Label kindly shared their grouped X-axis plugin: https://github.com/blacklabel/grouped_categories

That would be a bit like the standard, grouped columns, right? Or do you mean something different? https://www.highcharts.com/demo/column-basic

Hi, is it possible to use grouped categories, however hide the labels for the subcategories on the x-axis?
Thanks for an answer! -

Hi,
I am stuck with a similar, but complex scenario.I have the high charts with x-axis labels as
[raid1, raid2, wafl1, wafl2, raid3, nst1, nst2, wafl3, nst3, xyz, abc]
which I have to group under
[raid, raid, wafl, wafl, raid, nst, nst, wafl, nst, nst, raid]Currently, I am populating all this array, and the content of array is not definitive.
In this scenario, how can I group the data?

I would prefer a 'real' second x-axis, because I would get a all axis format options already available for axis formatting. I made a study that uses a second x-axis:

When can we expect this feature? I was hoping for Highcharts 4, but it's not there...

The label in X axis are getting overlapped

Ljubisa Nikolic commented
ok, I will do that

Yes the devs at Black Label are probably happy for that. And you should post the issue at https://github.com/blacklabel/grouped_categories/issues so it is registered.

Actually the export function doesn't work with this plugin. The data witch is in the lower row of the X-axis doesn't appear in the exported image.
This is how the chart looks like on the page (printscreen): http://imgur.com/plAlGke
This is the exported image: http://imgur.com/OjgXvGfFurthermore - after the export, the chart changes so that the second row is compressed, like this: http://imgur.com/1itWdxw
I can supply the code on jsfiddle - if needed!

I would also like to see this functionality and dont like the prospect of paying for an API to then have to work out how to make the changes I need.
I am surprised that no one has added this to highcharts because it seems to be a common requirement and I have spent 2 days researching available API's (free and paid) and none of them supports this functionality.
I would have thought it would be good to be the only API that does offer this functionality..

The way I was charting that needs this is we have a essentially a main group where you want the columns grouped together ie) different english class levels, and then the columns themselves have individual names ie) Different semesters, I would also like it to be available with stacked columns

Sorry, should have said. I'd really like it for a stacked chart as shown in my link.

This would be really really really useful. I asked this on the support forums and got a response which others might find useful.

This is really important for charts based on pivot tables.

If it helps, I've added some more detail on how this could be defined, and a hacked up example rendering in highcharts: http://jsfiddle.net/pMA2H/1/
