In the previous chapters, we learned how to setup highcharts library and how to create a chart with required configurations using highcharts library in our webpage. Now, we will learn how to create a fixed placement columns chart using highcharts library with examples.
Following is the example of creating a fixed placement columns chart by setting the required column chart properties using highcharts library.

If you observe the above example, we created a column chart with fixed placements using highcharts library with required properties.
When we execute the above highcharts example, we will get the result like as shown below.
This is how we can create a fixed placement columns chart using highcharts library with required properties.
