HighCharts: SVG outside plot area

Question

I am designing an HighCharts bubble chart (a matrix with coloured fields, drawn using SVG), that should have some text explaining the axis values outside of the actual chart area.

That is, because the axis values are A-E and need a lengthy explanation (A = Always exceeds goals bla bla etc.).

These explanations should be visible - next to the chart, not in it, and not in tooltips because these cannot be printed.

My question: Can I put SVG <text/> outside of the plot area? HighCharts seems to stretch the plot area as far as it can, leaving no space to either side.

Answer 1

You can use text text and define css styles i.e: position:absolute;left:20px;top:20px;
