HighCharts: Logarithmic scale

Question

I am using logarithmic axes on HighCharts and sometimes the chart will not render due to issues such as negative or 0 values which is totally understandable but it also fails if the axis label happens to be 0 or less as well. My question is: is there a way to capture or detect this issue during rendering so that I can dynamically change to linear axes as a fallback and render a message to notify the user why it failed?

Here is an example of a failed curve rendering due to a 0 label on the x-axis:

Here are some more details on the HighCharts error:

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!

Answer 1

in your series add pointStart:1 and it should work. example:

    series: [{            
        data: [0.001,1,1.2,1.4, 2,30],
        pointStart: 1
    }]

Answer 2

I addressed this issue by checking the values that go into HighCharts and if there are unacceptable values, the axes will automatically be changed to linear.
