Answer 1

function(chart){
        var series = chart.series[0];
        //--- Enforce a Maximum bar width
        if (series && series.data.length) {
            if (series.data[0].pointWidth  >  MaximumBarWidth) {
                for(var i=0;i< chart.series.length;i++)
                  chart.series[i].update({
                    pointWidth:MaximumBarWidth
                    });
            }
        }
    }
