Highchart: Bar Chart with time duration - time

Question

I want to create a bar chart with time duration on the bottom axis. It' working for decimal numbers, like 300.5 seconds, or 50.3 hours, but i would like to have the following format:
Hours:Minutes:Seconds. I tried some thing with datalabelformat: datetime, but with no success.
The data would be for example:
Member1 - 10:05:18
Member2 - 12:52:20
Member3 - 18:10:30
Member4 - 19:20:10
Member5 - 19:30:45
Anybody got an idea how to realize that?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You need to set min value and tickInterval, then set dateTimeLabels.
dateTimeLabelFormats: {
millisecond: '%H:%M:%S',
second: '%H:%M:%S',
minute: '%H:%M:%S',
hour: '%H:%M:%S',
day: '%H:%M:%S',
week: '%H:%M:%S',
month: '%H:%M:%S',
year: '%H:%M:%S'
}

I came here searching for a solution to my problem. Not sure if this is exactly what you want, and I cannot put in a comment due to low reputation. But this is how I was able to solve it.
This provides result in hh:mm. You can modify it to include seconds.

It has the y axis in hh:mm format and also displays datalabels as hh:mm.
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'column'
},
yAxis: {
type: 'time',
labels: {
formatter: function () {
var time = this.value;
var hours1=parseInt(time/3600000);
var mins1=parseInt((parseInt(time%3600000))/60000);
return (hours1 < 10 ? '0' + hours1 : hours1) + ':' + (mins1 < 10 ? '0' + mins1 : mins1);
}
}
},
series: [{
data: [1000000, 26500000, 17000050, 79000000, 56000000, 124000000],
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
formatter: function () {
var time = this.y / 1000;
var hours1=parseInt(time/3600);
var mins1=parseInt((parseInt(time%3600))/60);
return (hours1 < 10 ? '0' + hours1 : hours1) + ':' + (mins1 < 10 ? '0' + mins1 : mins1);
}
},
}]
});
});

I improved above configs by reusing the HC methods:
durationbar: {
chart: {
type: 'column'
},
yAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
showFirstLabel: false,
dateTimeLabelFormats: {
millisecond: '%H:%M:%S'
},
units: [[
'millisecond',
[1000]
], [
'second',
[1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30]
], [
'minute',
[1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30]
], [
'hour',
[1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12]
], [
'day',
[1]
], [
'week',
[1]
], [
'month',
[1, 3, 6]
], [
'year',
null
]],
},
tooltip: {
formatter: null,
pointFormat: '{point.name}: <b>{point.dataLabel.text.textStr}</b><br/>'
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
formatter() {
return this.series.chart.time.dateFormat('%H:%M:%S', this.y)
}
}
}
}
},
