How do I set a minimum upper bound for an axis in Highcharts?

Question

I\'m trying to set a minimum upper bound, specifically:

• The Y axis should start at 0
• The Y axis should go to at least 10, or higher (automatically sca

Answer 1

A way to do this only using options (no events or functions) is:

yAxis: {
    min: 0,
    minRange: 10,
    maxPadding: 0
}

Here minRange defines the minimum span of the axis. maxPadding defaults to 0.01 which would make the axis longer than 10, so we set it to zero instead.

This yields the same results as a setExtreme would give. See this JSFiddle demonstration.
