});

Answer 2

At the time of this answer, scrollbar can be added via highstock js. For those who want to implement a scrollbar without using highstock, I managed to implement an elegant and simple scrollbar solution to my column chart, using only highcharts js, without highstock, as follows:

chart: {
   type: 'column',
   scrollablePlotArea: {
   minWidth: {{ count($period_interval_categories) * 70}},
        // nr of interval data x (40 + 30) where 40 are column width pixels and
        // 30 is additional distancing between columns;
        // Increase spacing pixels if needed
   scrollPositionX: 1
   }
},
plotOptions: {
   column: {
       stacking: 'normal',
       pointWidth: 40, // column width in pixels
       dataLabels: {
           // enabled: true
       }
    }
},

where $period_interval_categories represents in my chart the period on x axis consisting of days, weeks, months, etc.
