Question

HI In highchart is there any way to give time on x-axis as below

1) pass start time
2) give an array of time points
3) give unit of time

for example<

Answer 1

Set the initial date with pointStart:

plotOptions: {
    column: {
        pointStart: Date.UTC(2015, 1, 12) // feb 12, 2015
    }
}

Set the interval in the xAxis:

xAxis: {
    type: 'datetime',
    dateTimeLabelFormats: {
            second: '%H:%M:%S',
            minute: '%H:%M',
            hour: '%H:%M',
            day: '%e. %b',
            week: '%e. %b',
            month: '%b \'%y',
            year: '%Y'
    },
    tickInterval: 24 * 3600 * 1000 // interval of 1 day (in your case = 60)
}

If I understand correctly, pointInterval is what you are looking for:

If that doesn't do what you need, then it should just be a matter of parsing your object to get it do what you need...
