Adjusting the ticks on a negative logarithmic chart

[bobs]

Hello,

I would like to adjust the ticks on a negative logarithmic chart.

I would like the range to match more closely to the data. Currently it is displaying 0, 10, 100, 1000. Given the data 10 and 100 are not required.

Essentially could the range start at 1000 in both the positive and negative ranges?

I have used the following option but no no avail.

tickPixelInterval
tickInterval
minRange
min
max
tickAmount
alignTicks
endOnTick
startOnTick
tickPositioner

Is there a solution?

Hi,
Welcome to our forum and thanks for contacting us with your question!

It's possible to set series.column.threshold the value on y axis at 1000, and it will be the base for the column.

Let me know if that was what you were looking for.

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for the reply.

That isn't quite what I'm looking for.

Is it possible to match the chart yAxis values in the jsFiddle to the yAxis values image in my original post?

10000000
1000000
100000
10000
0
-10000
-100000
-1000000
-10000000

Thanks again!
Bob

Hi,
I have a way to add a custom tick with yAxis.tickPositions but it doesn't work for negative values.
The reason is it's not mathematically correct.

Thanks again Sebastian.

I managed to achieve what I was after with a custom range. https://jsfiddle.net/bobjwatts/8ac17egt/438/
