HighCharts - two Y-axis, one with max value

Question

I have problem with Highcharts, I\'ve set right Y-axis to min:0 and max:100 (it\'s %) but it won\'t work and make 125 percentage. What\'s wrong?

Answer 1

The problem you're having is that highcharts is trying to align the ticks. There are two ways of handling this problem with the current data set:

max: 100

changes to

max: 75

or, you need to set alignTicks as false

chart: {
    type: 'area',
    alignTicks: false
}

Answer 2

I figure it out. Better way to fix this issue is use tickinterval.

Here is sample http://jsfiddle.net/SdTcU/1/

$(function () {
        $('#container').highcharts({
            chart: {
                type: 'area'
            },
            title: {
                text: ''
            },
            colors: ['#c42525','#8bbc21'],
            xAxis: {
                categories: [

    });

Answer 3

You may also use a combination of the solutions above (worked for me):

alignTicks: false (chart)
max:100 (on % axis)
gridLineWidth: 0 (on second Y axis)
